Happy Valentine’s Day! Whether you are a romantic, a cynic or somewhere in the middle with indifference, you can’t deny that you feel something. That this day beyond its cliches like any other celebration calls to something within you. Whether it is sweet, sarcastic, witty, poetic, sensual, dark; there’s a self-ish poem for you.
1. For the Love Avoidants
Ameaka has what you need.
2. For the Poets
Awanto Margaret pens a sensual piece that seems like it was meant to be spoken from a stage.

This isn’t just about an ex or a bruised heart.
10. What if…it wasn’t love?
What if it was lust? a game? a test? or just passing time? Does it matter if you are sorry? Portrait d'une Leslie could paint you a picture or two.

14. In the end, we just want to love and be loved
