A Unique Collaboration of Poetry and Art by Shahid Abbas and Rose Abordo O'Hara A Vision of an Angel in the Mirror Poem by Shahid Abbas Artwork by Rose Abordo O'Hara She sits inside a red wound of silk, stitched to the silence like a rose nailed to midnight. The mirror does not reflect. It remembers. A second woman breathes beneath the glass all pulse, all phantom, all unfinished thunder.

HOUSE NUMBER NINE Sonia Mann “Sonia!! You mentioned your permanent address as house no. 9 and street no. 9.” Both 9? Is this your correct address? Who writes "street no."?

A Glimpse into the Sufi Poetry of Sapana Ahsaas Suhail Sahil It is often said that when a dream takes the form of feeling, it ceases to remain a dream and transforms into living emotion.

They deceived her identity, They pointed her flaws, They told her she was futile, For they were afraid of her power. Was she the witch they labelled her? Or was she just too smart for the world.
