The first light of day awakens,
An image fades, painful trace
Flowers stand in their virginal whiteness
I don't know about tomorrow
In that new dawn
I was alive

Eid In Gaza
In Gaza’s streets, where children played,
Their laughter silenced, dreams betrayed.
Eid’s joy now shrouded in despair,
For little ones no longer there.
Their innocence, a casualty of war,
Their absence felt, forevermore.
On this day of Eid, our hearts weep,
For the children lost in rubble sleep.
May their spirits find eternal peace,
And their memories bring sweet release.
In Gaza’s loss, we hold them near,
Their absence felt, their presence dear.
By Khalissee

the first home
and all that came after
held the point of origin
a single cell
and the rest were replicated
multiplied beyond recognition
though they don’t exist inside
I carry them
faces; frames
given by my father and mother
I’ve split them all apart
and scattered them into the sea
I saw the sea torch the sky
I saw the wind make the trees kneel
streetlamps resembling trembling embers
the night creeps in like a cat
and the morning stretches and yawns
after the fireflies turn back into stars
life always tends to move on
taking in everything I could be
I carried it in myself In every hereafter and after
//everything I can be by: alec prado//

what's in his heart??
He laughs a lot
but never stays happy.
He talks a lot
but never talks about what's in his heart.
You aren't in his heart. You are his heart,
and you took it while you went away.

In this newfound world, the boundaries of your reality blur, and the line between dreams and waking life dissolves. No longer do you need to conjure fictional landscapes to escape to, for you have found a tangible connection with another soul—a connection that transcends the confines of fantasy. With them, you embark on a journey of profound depth, where your words are met with genuine understanding and your desires are embraced as if they were their own. They have the remarkable ability to breathe life into love songs, infusing them with renewed meaning. It's as though they've emerged from the pages of a storybook, too incredible to be real, yet unequivocally genuine.
Her presence, ethereal and enigmatic, possesses the ineffable power to unfurl the fragile strands of life's intricate tapestry, unveiling a truth I had perpetually denied. How had I remained so impervious to her existence, to the symphony of words she wove around me with the delicacy of a silken cocoon? Every utterance she bestowed upon me resonated as a harmonious, melodic embrace, carefully tending to the fractured pieces of my heart, healing the wounds I had concealed from the unfeeling world.
From the obscurity of the shadows, she emerged as a silent guardian, an ever-watchful sentinel who had observed me from a distance, enduring with patience the celestial alignment of cosmic forces that would, at long last, converge our divergent paths. In her presence, I unearthed a sanctuary—a sacred haven where I could shed the armor I had worn to shield my vulnerabilities from the probing eyes of the world for an eternity. With her, I experienced a sensation previously unfathomed; I felt heard, seen, and comprehended in ways that transcended mere mortal understanding.
She conveyed her emotions, not through the customary language of prosaic affection, but through the artistry of metaphors, wherein each word bore a cryptic, underlying significance. In those moments, it was as though she possessed the extraordinary ability to read me between the lines, deciphering the intricate poetry of my very existence.
