Distance Between Us
I clock in the time that I arrived but all my explanation was in vain, you did not listen to a word that I say and you kept giving me the blame, if I say A, you say B and if I say He, you say She, You kept putting me below...

Digital Distance
The unseen threads, taut with unspoken expectations, slack with miles, with years, with the simple choice of a turned back. We build bridges of shared laughter, of whispered secrets in the dark, arches of understanding, brick by fragile brick. And then, a careless word, a forgotten call, a shift in the wind, and the chasm yawns. The digital hum promises closeness, a thousand faces flicker on...

Long Distance
He speaks in soft, remembered tones, From London flats with aching bones. An Eelam Tamil, far from home, Yet never truly all alone. Love is away from him, But believes his love will get rid of his dim. Across the world, where gum trees sway, She wakes in Shepparton each day. A Malaysian Tamil, steady, bright, Chasing dawns in southern light. Different times, separated love, Their...

Among the Distance
Two friends among the distances One is red and one is blue Uniting despite the fights The colors choose to fuse Purple is a pretty color It's the color we should be Martin Luther didn't die Rosa Parks didn't cry For us to live separately I love my neighbors, red and blue Black, mixed and white Men, women, other, too I love whoever...

The Gaze
The gaze transcends the confines of time, Recognizing that distance holds no limits, and The Moon yearns for kindness. If only they were aware of forever, Of transience, of what lies ahead... Everything whirls like a mill, Until time fades away Into realms unknown, Beyond the dreams...

The Distance We Never Chose
We spoke in ways the soul would bleed, no second guess, no hidden need. You knew my silence, I knew your tears, we stitched our hearts across the years. But time, that thief, with silent hands, unwound the ropes of where we stand. The words grew cold, the nights grew long, and we forgot our favorite song. We didn’t fight, we didn’t scream, we...

I miss you. Maybe I should tell you. Maybe I should tear through the distance with something as simple, as foolish, as a “hey, you crossed my mind.” But what if you see my name and feel tired? What if my hello feels like a burden you forgot to put down? What if I am the ache you no longer want to revisit? I...

I know you're out there we live in worlds that separate us and times that keep us in the dark I understand the ways of life we live our forlorn circumstances and accept that we're apart I realize the hopelessness we live in the fog of days gone by but still I ache for your embrace AP: 3rd place 2025 Posted on March 28, 2025...

Uncharted Love
In the halls of learning, where whispers grow, Two hearts met, began to glow. A glance, a smile, a moment shared— A silent bond, unspoken, yet declared. Through bustling streets and crowded halls, They walked together, love enthralled. A sip of tea, an evening stroll— In laughter and talks, their hearts felt whole. But love was shadowed by a wall, A faith divide, a...
