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...
