Can you hear me?

Over the ringing of the phone

The fifth time today it’s rung

A finger against your lips in silence

The ignorance began to stung

Can you hear me?

Over the violent yelling

Words like daggers in the soul

Inching deeper and deeper

My body paying the toll

Can you hear me?

Whilst the glass smashes into pieces

The symphony my new lullaby

Though I tremble in fear

Silent tears fell, I...

Blood. Screams. Terror. While the darkening forces invaded the world, seeping through soul to soul as if a sickening disease was spreading. Nightmares of which only existed in the mind dripped violently down our skulls. Drip. Drip. Drip. As the dark storm brews around us, the roaring wind harshly slapping the faces of innocents, the bullets rapidly pummeling towards others, the sick hands invading...

Oh how the stars weightlessly shimmer in the night

A peaceful presence silently floats, listening to the whispers of all

A dark aura enraptures the universe, seemingly calm

While the moon lends itself to those who feel small

Oh how time slows to a stop while lost in thought

Regrets, fears and joyful memories consuming the soul

The mind talks over the now silent world

Allowing for those to speak f...

My head rested gently on her stomach, slowly moving up and down to the symphony of her breaths. Fingers softly ran through my hair bringing waves of calm over my body. Hands weaved together as if mine were meant to have hers within my grasp, small bolts of electricity in between them. My thumb soothingly rubbed circles into her hand as I felt her relax more. Our bodies entangled together like two ...

The human never imagined his day would end up as it did, discussing the concept of love with an alien of all things.

“Love is when you feel deep affection for someone or something,” the human explained. “It’s something that makes you happy, it makes your heart warm and fuzzy.”

The human appeared perplexed, love was entirely more complex where he was from.

“Is that it?” Now it was the aliens tu...

Tick. Tick. Tick. My beady eyes zeroed in on the clock hanging above the grand ballroom. My sweaty palms hidden under the lavish pure white gloves gifted to me by my mother. Flashes of thick red waves crashed through my mind, hitting the surface. Red red red. The spine chilling shrills of people echoed, louder and louder. Tick. Tick. Tick.

I jumped up when I felt a palm land on my shoulder, it w...

When the butterflies distract you

Soaring through your body on cloud nine

Speeding hearts run a great marathon

Making it first through the finish line

All the highs lifting you up up up

Floating through the care free clouds

Until a storm starts to brew

Pouring down rain and all your doubts

The fairytale life isn’t often lived

As the harsh reality starts to sink in

Realizing not everything was a...

The helmet on my head burdened my body yet unfortunately it was something I needed to survive. The helmets provided oxygen to humans as all the trees have fallen. Synthetic oxygen was created and is now used to keep what’s left of the population alive.

A beautiful green world was burnt to ash, the vibrant forests resembled a grey cluster of broken dreams. The shimmering oceans now completely obs...

My eyes took note of her saddened, drooping eyes. Mine must’ve looked quite similar, reflecting the pain we’ve both endured. Looking at her broken expression made my heart break further, more than I thought was possible.

“Darling?” She slowly looked at me, her movements seemingly holding the weight of the world. I softly took her hand in mine and intertwined our fingers while my thumb rubbed sma...

How could I possibly explain the rapid thump thump of my heart when she looked at me? The way it felt like a mere thousand boxers were fighting within me. How do I explain the stampede of animals that erupts in my stomach when she smiles? How do I explain the happiness that bursts in my soul when she’s around? The sun shining much brighter than before like a million suns stood poised. How do I exp...
