Written: July 2, 2025, for contest by: Sara Jama *********************** Ashen, wispy shades flicker awash in caliginous candlelight. His dark eyes peek out from beneath his lustrous, silky black hair, While her azure orbs hide behind long, flowing ebony locks. Bare bodies wobble In hindrance. We can no longer find words. The world...

Dreams were shattered like glass shards, As innocent lives were pushed into the jaws of death. Some doctors, engineers, accountants, and bards, Extinguished were the candles of their breath. A wife was on her way to meet her spouse, While the daughters and sons aspired to study abroad, Alas! Fate destroyed someone's beautiful house, As the passengers were destined to embark...

There’s a war in my chest with no flags, no uniforms, just angels with tired wings and demons with patient knives. They don’t scream. They whisper. One says "breathe" The other says "break." Most days I wake up somewhere in between— not holy, not hellbound, just surviving. My smile’s rehearsed. My eyes lie like a soldier trained to say “I’m fine” while bleeding inside the armor. The angel tells me, “You’re more than what...

Shock! unreal, unshaken disbelief. Choice! the people spoke, democracy breathes. What was promised— a mirage, a lie. False hopes built to divide, now shattered, leaving many wide-eyed, denied, unrecognized, lost in the wreckage of the unexpected. Post 2-0-2-4 A reckoning. A trauma. A truth too sharp to ignore. ...

(Inspired by Prince song When Doves Cry) A lonely world, they say, for a boy and a girl. Maybe I'm just too much like my father. Why do we scream at each other? This isn't love's soft pearl. How can I live through this heartache? Another tear will smother. Maybe I'm just too much like my father. We try to live...

My heart was shattered last Wednesday It has been a week How DARE time march on without my sweet boy? I still occasionally forget to breath and feel like I am underwater until my body automatically grabs a huge cleansing breath I am totally lost at times, I foget to eat, I forget to grab the medication I picked up and paid for, yet left at...

How long does it take to break broken glass until it’s broken beyond repair? How long does it take for avoidant eyes to finally learn to stare? Will it take long enough for glass to pierce my shattered, battered heart, Or eyes that will never look that way from the very start? Does it take a fool or a...

Chaos color blast blue sun is traveling fast past a blood red moon. Creatures scurry for cover on the dark side of summer. Red tailed comets streak Paisley colors growing weak, Midst music, dance, laughs! Night has destroyed amber day; and the world's in disarray. ...

You said: You look like you've been hurt before, Drowned before you could reach the shore. I replied: My father was my first heartbreak, My uncle was my second, I was neglected and never reckoned, If you'd ask me how I am I'd say I'm fine, I can love you even after knowing that you'll never be mine. Loneliness lurking in crowd, Voices...

behold, the Paranoid Schizoid. lost in the void, he’s an android. the Victim of a cruel trick, a tragic sort of magic, there was no favorable pick. i can see it in your eyes. they don’t speak lies. we were caught off guard. oh, my life, a splintered shard. during the sunshower, i confided in the loudest flower. and just like that, said the Bard, i’m somebody else’s...

You wrote me in scars. You’ve made me like this. You tell me I’m not the same as my old self— That I am something you pay for. Am I something to be paid for? I am torn apart by the way you treat me. I am crushed by the comments you pass. Am I not good enough? I’m weighed down By your words. You’ve...
