Take me home, will you, for I've been out here lost, more than I wanted, longer than I anticipated, and lonelier than I imagined.

SILENT IS THE NIGHT.

Silent is the night,

when everyone's asleep,

No one hears my pain,

no one hears me weep.

Everyone's in dreamland,

and no one will ever see,

How lonely is my night,

how I ache to dream with thee.

my photos are grainy

no time to capture

a clear shot

of a world held

together by strands

of darting pieces.

One day you will realize, it's not fate or luck that got you here but the choices you've made, the habits you've formed, the thoughts you've run in your head.

-sometimes it's easier to blame the gods or destiny

men like that

like you

the ones with soft, brown eyes

eyes that look at me like I’m worth worship

something surreal, almost devine

not another ugly immortal

in his gaze, I am the starry night

the ocean itself

your eyes, like pools of honey,

warm, drowsy, glazed as if intoxicated

on the love we just made

baby, you deserve red roses

soft kisses showered all over your face

you deserve words that read like prayers

poems that end in violence so soft

it feels less like romance

more like worship

-Nidhi Bhasin

A Feud to Carry Vol. 2, 2.1.24 “30 Days; Or Less”

February is the month of mistakes Trial and error The second beginning, to pick up the pieces Left by January, left by the prior year Left by everyone around you And make something of the days Building each one upon the next Snapping into place The shortest month Therefore the safest to try Let this be the beginning Of the next day and the next day Each step gaining speed In the downhill race to March Stumbling to find that rhythm Even if you tumble and roll Towards that goal You are still, yes still, moving forward

Maybe I should have gone to you

In January, when the cold

Rang in the earth’s bones-

Shaking,

Shaking

Shaking you unsteady

Your heart heavy

Your mind ready

To unravel.

Yes, maybe I should have gone to you-

Even if you would have gone away,

Anyway.

Do not come after me for the words unspoken, more often than not, there is so much more I would otherwise say, but these loitering thoughts, and relentless fears, take a stronghold on me; I make futile attempts to clasp myself together, and yet, the worries win everytime, as if, it was perhaps, always, a losing game, for me.

Dreams were -

something sweet but just outta reach, or a song, one line, the “one,” that “one,” leading the memories and later bleeding.

Dreams are -

remnant of a broken mirror, spilled milk, or words long gone, akin to the “clickety-clack,” coming and going of a train, supposed to stop.

Dreams will ‘ever be -

only to pass you by and offerings of the slightest dust, hints to where you should have been come ‘morrow; and locked, the doors to places, moments, “once were.”

So gently spoke, the shore next woken upon.

- H.H. (2022)

Distances So Wide.

I died the day you went away,

I broke up all inside,

I felt my world just slip away,

Like the ebbing of the tide.

I prayed that you'd come back someday,

But the distance was too wide,

My life, my love, had gone away,

And I hung my head and cried.

I begged and pleaded with you to stay,

To be my blushing bride,

But you just smiled and turned away,

And my pleading you denied.

And now there's nothing left to say,

I'm all broken up inside,

My life, my love, has flown away,

And the distance is so wide.

The generosity of mud puddles

They cover pebbles, erase chipmunk paw prints,

absorb acorns, and give untreed leaves

a place to float before sinking.

Puddles offer splash landing-pads

to any child in flight;

display their dreams

through windows into the world above:

limbs and last leaves of sumac and hickory,

a passing black-capped chickadee,

and – down in the far blue –

an enticing ghost or blouse of cloud.

Mud puddles are courageous, too,

when returning the unblinking, burning

gaze of the sky’s white eye.

With every, breathless kiss I adored your welcoming body. Caressing your hidden valleys with a lust that spawned creation upon a world of forgotten memories to awaken. Between your lust and my devotion, our souls became an instant of reborn innocence and infinite possibilities. We drank of each other's splendor, drowning in endless seas of love and adoration while stars collided and were no more. Whisper songs into my ears as I cause your body to sing with sin.

Paradise with you is an endless reminder that Hell grows further away, with every glance your way.

when i grow up

i want to be

an astronaut,

an author,

a magician

as a child, it was

easy to dream

of anything

a doctor,

a scientist,

a teacher

the world is vast

and full

of possibilities

now a grown woman,

my heart just wants

to be happy

but disappointingly,

happiness is elusive and

life is a sadist

that takes pleasure

in my agony

so in a world where

we can be anything

i became a masochist

-katie
