Lucid Dreams by Talha Jafri
Can we pretend that this isn’t a dream, but a reality that tries to persists even against all my will? Now let’s go back to the days where situations weren’t so complicated With age, wisdom comes, but with age comes complications and emotions Emotions transform into whatever society wants it to become We had simpler […]
Love In Reverse by Talha Jafri
There is no love lost here, I have moved on with a smile on my face Illustrating the pain I went through with the ballsy attitude of trying to make things better for me I often narrate so that I could make things better for all of us Love ends up to be the course […]
Love Equals Insanity by Talha Jafri
Who would have guessed that having feelings for another person would be so hard? Humans don’t tend to think so far ahead when they fall for someone The present is all that matters and when the future begins to loom, Relationships unravel. Can’t understand why, but serious commitment requires hard work If it’s worth the […]

In January by Ted Kooser
In January by Ted Kooser Only one cell in the frozen hive of night is lit, or so it seems to us: this Vietnamese café, with its oily light, its odors whose colorful shapes are like flowers. Laughter and talking, the tick of chopsticks. Beyond the glass, the wintry city creaks like an ancient wooden […]
I Want It Now by Roald Dahl
Gooses, geeses I want my geese to lay gold eggs for easter At least a hundred a day And by the way I want a feast I want a bean feast Cream buns and doughnuts And fruitcake with no nuts So good you could go nuts No, now I want a ball I want a […]
Exodus by Taha Muhammad Ali
The street is empty as a monk’s memory, and faces explode in the flames like acorns— and the dead crowd the horizon and doorways. No vein can bleed more than it already has, no scream will rise higher than it’s already risen. We will not leave! Everyone outside is waiting for the trucks and the […]
Considering The Snail by Thom Gunn
Considering The Snail by Thom Gunn The snail pushes through a green night, for the grass is heavy with water and meets over the bright path he makes, where rain has darkened the earth’s dark. He moves in a wood of desire, pale antlers barely stirring as he hunts. I cannot tell what power is […]
Broken Love by Talha Jafri
Caressing her soft skin, The passion in the air was exciting, His heart beating faster than a drum solo Whispers into her ears, I love you. The worst things in life come at no cost for us She looked back at the day when their eyes met An average day with an above average human […]
Black Market Love by Taisha Destin
Black Market Love by Taisha Destin Let me break it down like this He was a lean, clean charming machine Ladies you know what I mean From the way he talked to the style of his walk He stood tall as if he ruled the campus, I mean world I was nothing more than the […]
Attention please! Attention please! by Roald Dahl
‘Attention please! Attention please! Don’t dare to talk! Don’t dare to sneeze! Don’t doze or daydream! Stay awake! Your health, your very life’s at stake! Ho–ho, you say, they can’t mean me. Ha–ha, we answer, wait and see. Did any of you ever meet A child called Goldie Pinklesweet? Who on her seventh birthday went […]
An Act of Faith by Talha Jafri
This has all the implications tied to me that I ran away from for so long I can’t seem to fathom why I put myself in this position Going through a mess of insecurities just so that I put myself in the spotlight Now that’s been missing from me for so long, I’ve seem to […]
After Years by Ted Kooser
After Years by Ted Kooser Today, from a distance, I saw you walking away, and without a sound the glittering face of a glacier slid into the sea. An ancient oak fell in the Cumberlands, holding only a handful of leaves, and an old woman scattering corn to her chickens looked up for an instant. […]
Abd el-Hadi Fights a Superpower by Taha Muhammad Ali
In his life he neither wrote nor read. In his life he didn’t cut down a single tree, didn’t slit the throat of a single calf. In his life he did not speak of the New York Times behind its back, didn’t raise his voice to a soul except in his saying: “Come in, please, […]
A Ghost in the Shell by Talha Jafri
I resemble a familiar feeling A ghost in the shell waiting for the walls to come crashing down But like a waterfall, the beauty that falls ends up being the most destructive And when I fell for you, it ended up being my self destruction I defined myself to be by your side Changing to […]
