It has been a while since the last writing collaboration, but here’s a new one called Echoes, from Aspasía S. Bissas. If you’d like to get involved in a future collab, drop me an email [email protected].

Echoes – Aspasía S. Bissas

There are whispers that crash

like screams;

You used to understand that

before you disappeared

into someone else’s tattered dreams. 

And there are screams that come out 

as silence; 

I had to learn that

when your absence started feeling like violence. 

There’s too much of you left

to let me break free;

Woven, twisted,

tangled through my thoughts;

I’m echoes held together by memory.

Echoes- Peter Wyn Mosey

I heard all the words

that passed away

in the growing void

echo – please stay

I felt all the tears

that rolled to the sea

swell like waves

and wash over me

I saw sighs

enveloping and consuming

Swallowing me whole

distant and confusing
