Red Salvation

poem by Felix Heib

You

poem by Dakota Iris

You. You were my everything. You were my light in the dark, You took my heart and kissed every broken mark. You fixed me up, painted over every spot. Or so I thought. You were a demon in a halo, a knife wrapped in lace. You ri... Read more

War

poem by Taylor Hazel

The lost dream

poem by Peter Flynn

Where have all the birds gone? I can no longer hear their song. Their chirp and their chatter that echoes my rooms, Seems to have left nothing but gloom. Where have all the birds gone? Where once was a song, a trill, and a sque... Read more
