There’s this sensation of freefall all the time even when on long walks while the world sleeps the sky seems just to be letting go and the fall is endless down into solitude Maybe on the way down my eyes will open and just when it gets too dark to see I’ll notice the wayContinue reading “While the World Sleeps – Mitchell David Ring (The Light is On)”

Guide – Writer in Retrospect
I don’t know how I’m supposed to be;I never had a guide.The person who was supposed to beLearned to keep it all inside.She lived rather a lot like me,Never feeling like enough;And now demands increase exponentially,And she’s feeling like she’s had enough.She doesn’t know how she’s supposed to be;She never had a guide.And now whatContinue reading “Guide – Writer in Retrospect”
Anticipatory Love – Rahul Gauer (Smoke Words Every Day)

Like Honey Be – Frank Regan (Made of Sticks and Stones)
Honey, I want your love to flow,Despite the great divide.The difference in space and timeThat separates heart from heart. That keep different rhythms,Roll to different beats.But still, shake with the passionsThat flow thickly in this summer heat. © 2020 | Frank Regan, All rights reserved. online at: https://frankregan.wordpress.com/
Persistence of the unforgetting – Mark Ryan (Havoc and Consequences)
Sunken deep like forgotten wrecks.A hate that broods, contorts and flex.This grudge is old and just like oil.Black with time, and within me coils.Staining my soul with its heartless rind.Unforgotten, despite the passage of time.But time has come to break the bond.That swirling hole, that stagnant pond.I will no longer give food to the beast.ItContinue reading “Persistence of the unforgetting – Mark Ryan (Havoc and Consequences)”

Drawer of Possibilities – Robert Okaji (O at the Edges)
Drawer of Possibilities In the drawer of possibilitiesyou find stasis, the lure of the unknown.To what should this hinged orbbe subservient? Or that wrinkled blade?An egg, the bald potato. The sacrificialcarrot? To everything its purpose.Like that light in the crook of thealtered frame, attracting the wingedbeings. You, of course, serve nothing. “Drawer of Possibilities” firstContinue reading “Drawer of Possibilities – Robert Okaji (O at the Edges)”
