This is the reason why we kissed, we played
And now I cannot look you in the eye:
We were the actors in a masquerade
And fled the stage, the people high and dry.
You wore the cape and I a full white gown
And now I cannot look you in the eye:
Were we good players? Now, don’t let me down:
We had an audience, cheering us. They knew
You wore the cape and I a full white gown
But sometimes we believed it was all true
- The rehearsing, the face, the clothes of gold.
We had an audience, cheering us. They knew
That what they saw was real and lo, behold
We set the arena while we played the stage
- The rehearsing, the face, the clothes of gold.
We were the lions and we were the cage:
This is the reason why we kissed, we played.
We set the arena while we played the stage
We were the actors in a masquerade.

By Ryan Johnston-
Up hill, and so distant
The flags half mast
They’re sailing in the wind, like waving hands
Overfilled, yet so vacant
The scene above
Cast over me, like a tragedy
Visceral, and so dreamy
The purple clouds
And this black skyline, that I’m lying in
Breathe in, and let it go
But I’m still here
Locked up in your chest,
Like a souvenir
So far, from all we’ve been
Distance me, from everyone,
And everything
I’m constricting you again
Disappear, from these years
Away from everyone
And everything
I’m constricting you again
Move on, go away
And did you ever think
All the weightless things
Could be so heavy?
Move on, get away
I didn’t ever think
I would be blinded
By what I couldn’t see
Up hill, and so distant
The flags half mast
I’m sailing in the wind
They wave their hands
But I’m somewhere else

The Angel told me, as I walked away
“My shape is that of things that change with weather,
I have no face or limbs, and if you stay
And watch, the rain and wind will rip my feather.
And if you look much closer, you’ll be aware
I am a hippogriff, a unicorn.
Flying, my wings have brought me up till there
And now I’m stuck between the twigs and thorns.
A month, a week, or less: I have no rest.
You’ll find pieces of me among the ferns:
A bird will use my robe to make its nest
What will remain of me the sun will burn.
I don’t know if I’m happy to be a thing that fades
Flowers will grow around me, the white flowers of Hades.”
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

Poetry, in few words, is just a nut
And we, the writers, are of course the nutters
Who grab the words there are inside it, but
Sometimes what we write down is what we utter
In crying out the meaning of our mind;
Not necessarily words, but rhythm and tone
In endless streams of dots, sometimes a blind
Restitching of a hem, fixing the unsewn.
The hard shell of the nut is dark husk, stripped,
Because the kernel to be found inside
Is tender, juicy: most the times it’s bitter
Since what we write is what we’d better hide.
Smashing the wood with our bare hands – the shards will cut our skin –
We gently probe inside the shell for what we’ll find within.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

Out of the egg, our flesh is paper-thin.
If punctured, the red covers up the pink
In blotches turning brown. Our supple skin
Outlines our bodies. Cell by cell, a link
Of DNA speaks to the system. Clear
Its voice is telling us “Now eat, now sleep,
You’re tired, so just close your eyes, my dear.
Laugh at this time, and now you have to weep”.
We’re always dying. Our fate is written through
Our veins, our nails, the eyes, the hair, the teeth,
And if we waste our time, it’s overdue
- Our life, the span of it, its golden heath -.
And in the realm of which we’re king - a throne of blood and gilt -
Cells links to cells to form a bridge collapsing while it’s built.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)
