The after What happens after? When what was loud is now silent Where a place once filled with cameras go unnoticed What once made history is now forgotten Later On TV they'll be a recap The story will go They'll manipulate the situation Bonus if its told by a republican They'll say The police were peaceful, we'll be labelled as criminals I guess it's...

As the dark veil covered the sky, I was left with no choice but to resign to fate. The enemy was relentless in their pursuit— My platoon scattered after the strike on Khartoum. Only two bullets remain~ One to kill another, The other for myself. I was lucky to find an abandoned trench— wide enough to let my eyes rest. Too fatigued to resist...

She smelled like ozone and old commercials— the kind with jingles you didn’t know you remembered until your mouth sang along. Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a weird thing she is. She stepped from the screen once the static gave out, a figure shaped from tone bars and missing episodes and sort of resembled Barbara Stanwyck. Maybe she used to be a transmission and maybe she still is. When she moved, I...

The sky a disruptive horizon creating havoc in calm of evening when electric thunder suddenly booms without notice from neutral evening. The shrill of invasive pyrotechnics frighten animals and children in their near hour of slumber. Flickers of quiet ensues against restless distress of the neighborhood. Clouds begin to roll in steady flow, that after the thunder, kids devour pleasant bowls...

i will do it the day after tomorrow. i will do it when the sun feels less like an interrogation, and my skin stops aching from the weight of my blankets. i will answer texts, fold the clothes, untangle the mess in my chest long enough to sweep the floor. i’ll brush my teeth like it means something. but not today. not while the silence keeps calling me back. i...

Erotic prayers are typed like tattoos on her virtual skin. She clutches at this man; prints his likeness over her tongue. His words are as close as a bedtime story told to her flesh. An ethereal fruit grows ripe, nearly tactile, hung from dendrites where desires open. They meet at the verge of a vision, still conversing to distant screens. Motel doors slam....

Mirror, mirror on the wall, how do you choose the fairest of them all? why do you get to pick apart every single person that never gave you the right? Snow White ate less and less apples until she became so thin a gust of wind could’ve blown her away and she needed a strange man to save her What if he tried...

Seal the mountains, the peaks, the city— The little emperor rides waves like in Shanghai Bund. In the end, the man who loved beauty became a rifle. Where is the man-made bathing pool atop that mountain? The princely courage, allies in accord, Carried martial genes, shamanic rhythms, Carried cells of herbs and discipline, anti-entropy. Like Zhang Xianzhong sinking treasure into the Min...

Divorcing self from awful negatives I step ahead, bouncing through God’s power Gladly inspired with cheerful directives To share love's bliss and peace of grace-shower. Triumphing against selfishness-trial Freeing from “me-I-mine” so prison-bound To reach-out for others, sans betrayal My heart sows goodness seeds on kindness-ground. Persisting against vain personal gain I join with fellows midst blest partnership Prevailing against separation-pain Creating new vibrant relationship. ...

Going through the storms of life, I thought my tears had dried up. Unexpectedly, the pain was so great. Is it true that today my heart is aching Or am I strangling my heart Each day that passes, The pain grows greater, Tears are about to fall. And I know I am living true to myself. Someone...

Just consider that in the past life You sowed the seeds in the right season, They sprouted and blossomed. If you accept to pay off all your debts, Keep your mind pure to preserve your health. Be grateful for the adversity or the favorable fate To graduate from the lesson. Remember, every sad story will pass After...
