Relationships Poems
Candy
by Ken Ripley

Lessons
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

Just like I must exit a train
When it goes to pieces.
Ladybird
by Sharon Morgan
Ladybird, Ladybird
How long will it be
until you perch on the leaves

Not a bird, but you fly
At the first sign of problems
It’s always ‘'Goodbye.'’

There's love in shining Veneto,
Love around every corner,

Longing for Mountain's Peak
by Riley Hoover
It happened again.
I was doing so good
About avoiding it too.
I thought I had removed
All the people who
Would do it to me.
I didn’t.
I never will.

do you think we're friends in every universe?
by t.e. talbott
"do you think we're friends in every universe?"
i think sometimes
you're an unexpected present in June,
the gift of consideration outside of birthdays.
sometimes i'm gratitude, a full heart
thanking the heavens for you.
sometimes i’m the white-washed face of God
in someone's painting,

The sight of you
by Tania Marques
The sound of a peal of thunder.
The pounding train tracks feeling of the ground.
Euphoria taking over me.
Just like a soulful moment at sea.
All the disturbances in me are soon fallen,
