Warm Welcome
By Sabrina Dunn-Plouffe
I’ve let so many people walk in
Some that may not have been welcome
Some that stayed for too long
And some that left before I would’ve wanted them to
That’s what makes it difficult
To bring myself to open those gates again
And let someone new in with my warm welcome
Sometimes, it feels too good to be true
Oh, but honey,
Nothing is ever too good to be true
If it comes into your life
And makes you happy and warm
That’s the kind of warmth you need inside
Especially on a cold winter’s night
Don’t take what you deserve away from yourself
Grab it with open arms
Everything happens for a reason
And everyone that enters your life will bring something to it
So for now (just for now)
If it feels warm,
Hold on tight
Enigmatic Fixation
By Crista Fusaro
seeing you
across the ocean’s blue
longing to feel
the heat from the fire
in your untamed mind
desiring your touch
beneath my skin
unraveling me
from the very core within
i have now learned
what i truly feel
being in love
with solely the idea of you.
Nowhere To Be Found
By Isabelle Bujold
I hope I never get tired of the starry sky,
Of live music, Or the sound of waves
I hope I never get tired of discovering pockets in my skirts,
Of bakery croissants, Or having someone to miss
I hope I never get tired of borrowing library books,
Of successful first attempts, Or having new ideas
I hope I never get tired of the smell of fresh laundry,
Of sweet effervescence, Or the city where I fell in love with you
I hope you grow old and realize she doesn’t enjoy the little things in life
Like eating a good meal, Or watching documentaries,
Like getting sick, Or even laughing at a stupid TV show
I hope that someday
You search for me in the simplest of things
And I am nowhere to be found
