You Are My Path
written by: Jasna Gugić
 

So often I stand
and simply watch you
in the silence of life’s temples,
as you bless all that lies before me
and clear the paths I walk
the paths that once led nowhere
while your prayers #Spillwords #Poetry #WritingCommunity #Literature #Fiction

Moonstone
written by: Steliana Cristina Voicu
 

When the Sky turns his head towards unlit,
Sipping from the clouds covering his eyelids,
The Moon raises its tremble gaze,
Forgetting in the water her silver dress.

It’s barely noon. #Fiction #WritingCommunity #Poetry #Spillwords #Literature

The Hive
written by: Roni Blooms
 

I don’t know how this happened.
I don’t know who awoke my heart
at such an inconvenient time.

It was peacefully beating
as I walked through chaos.
It was peacefully beating

Please don’t stop me faceless creature
Don’t you see I’m turning eyes?
Don’t you see that world behind me
Is so shattered and so sliced?

Levitation you’ve just broken
Like a painter #Poetry #Fiction #Spillwords #WritingCommunity #Literature

This Barn of Barns
written by: John Grey
 

Inside the barn, some stalls remain
but there’s no sign of horses and chickens.
It’s just a junkyard these days,
storage space for tins of paint
and thick hard brushes,

Lacy dress
Gold chain with polished pearls around my neck
Heels too high like those magical dreams that could graze the stars
But never fall safely among the clouds

We met on October 22, 2023. That's about three years ago now, two and some months actually, but we know I'm no good at math. Whenever I'm having a hard time, I can't #Literature #Spillwords #Fiction #WritingCommunity #Poetry

Nettle Soup

Times are hard. The twins don’t complain, but I know they feel it too. I’ve given them gloves and sent them to gather young leaves from stinging nettles. Their glum faces and their groans of “Oh #WritingCommunity #Literature #Spillwords #Fiction #Poetry

Just Another Monday

I know what it feels like to die. To die of shame. To die of pain.

I was six years old in my school uniform, wearing a shalwar kameez and a sash across my chest, dolled up with #Poetry #Spillwords #Fiction #WritingCommunity #Literature

Fata Morgana

She stood there grasping so tightly the brilliant, breathtaking balloons
The sun shone so brightly, her eyes closed, she did not see the monsoons

I Am Invisible

I am allowed to use the dayroom. There’s enough natural light for me to see the colours, and it’s usually quiet in there. The others don’t use it much, I have no idea #Fiction #Spillwords #Literature #WritingCommunity #Poetry

Eerie Subconscious Rendering

In my bed I awake
Confused
Sweaty
Trembling
Breathing heavily
How did I get here!?

Just a minute ago I was alone
Standing in a world of darkness

Past Tense

In thousands of years, they’ll unearth our trash
Which require grants, that elusive academic cash
With soft delicate strokes of brushes, as they squat
The must discover the remarkable or all #Spillwords #Fiction #WritingCommunity #Literature #Poetry

Mirror, mirror—what do you see?
No masks, no tales, the truth of me.
Full lips, proud nose, skin sun-kissed like earth at dusk.
Wearing hair-itage like a crown,
a symphony of strength and soul.

Beyond the Border Line
No line
No line
No line I wish to see again
I know the pain
While my home was dragged and slain

In every corner of hills and plains
Thousand fears drowned #Spillwords #Literature #WritingCommunity #Poetry #Fiction

The moss is eating the stone Buddha’s face.
He doesn’t mind.
It’s much easier to be a mountain
