i wrap my arms around your chest,

leaning over you, resting my chin

atop your head. i lay a kiss on that

same spot, and watch you diligently.

you scribble away at your desk,

drowning out the room

with the distinct sound of

pencil meeting paper.

subtle rays of light streak

through the window;

motes of dust dance gently.

i long to go back to those days,

waking up to you at first sight.

now,

we don't even know each other.

"the study."

d.b.a

when i stop talking

don’t ask me why

been hurt too many times

i am just exhausted

for always being blamed

i will just be silent now

Triolet Poem #56

It was by the skin of your teeth that you did not bite the bullet. You escaped the flames from beneath, it was by the skin of your teeth. I had kept the blade in it's sheath, brought a gun but didn't pull it. It was by the skin of your teeth that you did not bite the bullet.

"Bite The Bullet", JEP

In the freedom of your lips my soul lies hanging; it clings to your breath, to your voice, to your words and, in a kiss, it falls apart to be reborn in your sweetened corners.

En la libertad de tus labios yace pendiendo mi alma; se aferra a tu aliento, a tu voz, a tus palabras y, en un beso, se deshace para renacer en tus comisuras endulzadas.

Late Nights Lying in Bed

in a blue car the dome light refuses to die out;

a girl trying to find the reason, opening each door

trial and error in the darkness

heart beating one two

skipping one two

a mosquito buzzing and whining

right next to an ear

flying in and out of reach

pushing dials already dialed to the max

the lid must be removed

before the pot boils over

where's the lid in a human body

when all tears have run out dry

and a scream keeps building

and the heart keeps beating...

even at midnight

the light refusing to die out

THE LINGERING TASTE OF THY LOVE

The taste of thy love lingers here

whether thou art far or near

I know the sweetness of thy love

my memory screens our evening stroll

down the blossomed garden, anointed

Our fingers in clasped sensuous touch

studying the starry sparkles in thine eyes

listening to the whisperings of thy voice

as we embrace under the Lovers Arch

crowned by the rainbowed bougainvillea

Beneath the shadow of a silvery moon

I catch the fragrant scent of thy presence

and I became fondly intoxicated

circling my arms around thy slimly waist

sniffing deeply with passionate care

Running my lips over thine slender neck

till at last our searching lips do meet

Oh! Our first ever tender loving kiss

to spur the throbbing of our hearts

by a splendor of grand togetherness

In thee I am captured, most willingly

in sweet surrender, my beloved

imprisoned in thy generous heart

An everlasting imprint in my soul

The lingering taste of thy love

Webzine submissions open for writing!

Dear writers on tumblr, pour yourself a drink on the house. We've been asking for editors for our webzine in the last few weeks (you can still sign up here). We are focusing on going into different worlds. Now, we can announce that we are accepting writing submissions for it!

Who can submit writing?

All writers can submit writing to our zine, whether you have already published other works. Or have previously shared other writing pieces on [tumblr] or Archive of our own (or similar platforms). Our editors will pick their favourite pieces for each category based on different criteria, the most important thing is how well the pieces fit our theme Portal to Another World.

What kind of writing can I submit?

We are open to any form of writing! You can submit any form of writing from poetry, prose, flash fiction, a short story, song lyrics or even a non-fiction essay. As long as it fits the theme and is unpublished. Our theme is Portal to Another World. Unpublished in this case means it isn't published in print or online. You can't submit excerpts from your WIPs when they can't be understood outside the context of your WIP.

Will you compensate me?

As much as we would love to pay all contributors, we don't have the funds. We discussed this on our server and decided we want our zine accessible to all readers. Understand this is a passion project, so you will not be compensated for your writing. The finished zine will be shared as a free PDF download with a pay-what-you-want option on our KoFi. The little money we make from the zine will be used to fund future projects of writeblrcafé (e.g. a second zine) and boosts for our Discord server.

Where can I submit my writing?

Just fill in the form below! You can submit your writing as a PDF file. The word limit for prose is 2500 words. The limit for poetry is 50 verses. You can only submit one piece of writing. If your piece of writing is longer, feel free to submit it. We will decide on a case-to-case basis. We hope many of you take this chance to collaborate on our webzine, which will be compiled in a compelling design.

Submissions for artwork will open soon!

Please reblog this post to spread the word in the writing community!

what is a dream,

if only to wake up

living the same hell?

an endless loop of

coming and going,

living and dying; for

we all surrender to

our fate, one day.

like a scale,

our existence hangs

in the balance. we

take for granted

the gift of life.

"precarious."

d.b.a

Why do I miss you when I shouldn't? What have you done to my soul that I think of you like this? Have you enchanted me without me knowing? Was it your soulful eyes or perhaps that melancholic smile? I'm drawn to you and I can't explain it. Do you think of me too and that's what I am feeling?

e.v.e.

another year is ending and I want you to know that it is okay if you:

have not healed from the things that happened/did not happen from six months ago. just because the year is ending it does not mean your grief is too.

don't have any "fun" NYE plans to ring in the new year. this life is yours to live across days and months and years, and you can celebrate days other than the ones heavily marketed and shoved down your throat to shroud you in severe FOMO.

have no resolutions or goals for 2024 laid out in elaborate lists or shared on social media or with your friends. you are braving through this life trying to do your best every day and hold the fort and so of course you know, deep down you know what is needed from you for you going forward and of course you are going to work in that direction. good luck love.

have not become a "better" version of yourself by any of the tangible or conventional measures. that kind of bettering is mostly to serve others, not yourself.

are not happy with yourself/your life as it is now. you're a work-in-progress, remember? and if you're progressing in a direction you do not like, then it's time to change the blueprints and the strategy.

take time off social media around this time to protect your mental health and whatever little joy you have managed to keep.

don't want to spend too much time reflecting on how this past year went and doing various forms of 2023-wrapped. again, it's your life. you can also revisit this year in memories and pictures and feelings whenever you'd like. it's not like you don't still visit 2012, 2017, and 2022, right?

feel disconnected from your friends, family, lover. I know this is "ideally" a time to be celebrated with your loved ones. but life is not ideal, is it? it's just life. and if right now you are not feeling the love, the joy, or just don't have the headspace or social energy to engage , that's alright.

are finding comfort in simpler things like a TV show from the 90s or that book you first read at sixteen or that slice of strawberry cake or a random post like this you come across.

don't feel hopeful, encouraged, or excited for 2024. given everything that's happened in the last couple of years, on the macro and micro level, it's only natural for you to feel weary as well as wary. when the good things happen, when the healing happens, when things begin working in your favour over time, you will automatically feel all those things. it's okay if until then you choose to be neutral.

let me be your coffee

for you won't find anything

tastier than me.

and I promise

to turn your wake up

into a beautiful

sleepless night.

If you are not aware that what you feel is linked to what you think and is resolved in what you do, you better stay away. Incongruity is an evil in the social sphere; let's try to avoid it as much as possible, learning to connect our three centers; life and the world will thank us for it.

Si no eres consciente de que lo que sientes está ligado a lo que piensas y se resuelve en lo que haces, mejor ni te acerques. La incongruencia es un mal en el ámbito social; tratemos de evitarla lo más que se pueda, aprendiendo a conectar nuestros tres centros; la vida y el mundo nos lo agradecerá.

I'm frustrated

with my own thoughts.

Am I breathing

or am I just

purging plastic sadness

and replacing it

with synthetic apathy?

This imbalance

is a branding

on the congested brain.

I wear it

like a chain

that chokes me

when I gaze at the sky.
