Untitled Poem No. 1 by LL

I met someone I’ve been looking for

A dream that I had already dreamed

His touch was warm, but then turned heavy

Lingering in places I cannot name

I moved on, and the guilt lingers

Is it wrong to let go so quickly?

Maybe I should’ve felt more

Am I a monster?

Then she appeared

Gentle, glowing, soft

I felt something warm

When I saw her smile

Suddenly I’m caught between

The persona I display

And who my heart longs to be

A path, which I thought was straight

Took so many twists and turns

Taking me places I didn’t want to see

Taking me where I’m supposed to be

It’s messy

It’s loud

It’s silent

It’s me, maybe

and maybe that’s okay.

Let it Snow by Xavi Burde

Flowers wither, flowers bloom. Thus I rise. Speak your wish. I was told life is like the seasons, an infinite cycle. Yet somewhere along the way, my world was reduced to fields of frozen white.
