His Love

Creative Writing, Design Magazine 2021, Poetry, RelationshipsBy Sue CohoonOctober 13, 2021Leave a comment

His love I do not question Though sometimes I wonder – why We’ve come through many a frustration When I thought love would die Watching my children grow Seeing me through finding myself Reaching out when I reached a new low Letting me in, giving a part of himself Not knowing where I stood Searching…

Moon Lighting

Creative Writing, Design Magazine 2021, PoetryBy Kendra GaugeApril 28, 2021Leave a comment

You don’t reach for me anymore But I still hold your ghosts The sun won’t shine for you now But I’m still your moonlight.   You’re baptized in your sins But I’ll hold you close The water drowned you long ago But reflects the moonlight.   Under which you held her close Her unopened eyes…

The Beauty is in the Struggle

Creative Writing, Design Magazine 2021, Poetry, RelationshipsBy Roshonda AllenApril 23, 2021Leave a comment

Dear Mama Dear Mama, Why didn’t you choose me? 20 years later, And it’s still news to me You broke my heart, before it even formed Now I’m stuck with these feelings, I don’t understand And I still love you, even though we never met, But “who I am”?, is what I’m questioning. What did…

Suicidal

Creative Writing, Design Magazine 2021, PoetryBy Anonymous AuthorApril 22, 2021Leave a comment

I’m not suicidal, But sometimes, I imagine the world without me They say that you’re brighter than your darkest days But sometimes, it doesn’t feel that way Pain so strong the pills couldn’t even do it Loved so long, the cuts just got deeper. I’m not suicidal But sometimes, giving up is easier than holding…

Dear Meech, I need for you to realize that your potential stretches behind the galaxy and then some. Your focus on success is the only option, it’s inevitable. You are the black man with a dream to be successful by any means necessary. What is your plan to become the richest in the universe? Get…

Characteristics of a Black Man

Creative Writing, Design Magazine 2021, Poetry, Social IssuesBy Semetrius HolmesApril 15, 2021Leave a comment

What are the characteristics of a black man? Is it interesting that I can laugh louder than thunderstorms, or is it because I am the difference between midnight and 11:59? So tell me a different story, Build up the image of a black man. So again, what are the characteristics of a black man? Cold…

Emerging from the deep there is no one My body simply floats Emerged in yesterday’s fear, today’s struggles, and tomorrow’s failures Help Me, Help Me.

Til Death Do Us Part

Creative Writing, Design Magazine 2021, RelationshipsBy Christian OwensApril 11, 2021Leave a comment

“I told you, no one leaves me,” Nick says, as he stands over Jasmine’s dead body. “You should have heeded my warnings. I warned your friends.” ‘Flashback’ to Nick cutting Lea’s car brake lines. “I warned your parents”. ‘Flashback’ to Nick harming the newborn kittens. “Hell, I have even warned the psychiatrist that the teachers…

The Story

Creative Writing, Design Magazine 2021, ScaryBy Arely RomanApril 11, 2021Leave a comment

Once upon a time, There was a crime. A child left alone, With no phone. He cried for help, But no one heard his yelp. He ran and ran, Yet had no plan. Until he saw an old woman, Who seemed like a kind human. And this man, who’s so evil looking Might have a…
