 My Nights Abrar Nayeem Chowdhury In the quiet hush of night’s embrace,   When the world slows down its endless chase,   I find your face in every star,   Even though you seem so far.   The moon whispers tales of you and me,   Of moments we’ve yet to live, to see.   Each breath of wind, a tender sigh,   Carries your name across the sky.   The stars align in perfect rhyme,   Marking memories in endless time.   I feel your warmth, though miles apart,   You're the beating rhythm of my heart.   In the shadows, your presence glows,   A love so deep, the night bestows.   With every dream, I hold you tight,   You are my solace through the night.   The silence speaks in words unspoken,   Of promises that can’t be broken.   A love that grows with each dark hour,   Nourished by the night’s soft power....

 In the depths of a secretive, cutting-edge research facility, Dr. Alan Hargrave sat strapped to a chair, the core subject of an unprecedented scientific experiment. His once brilliant mind, a bastion of logic and reason, was now about to be pushed beyond human limits by a new technology known only as "Neural Cascade." The walls of the room were bathed in an eerie luminescence, the faint hum of machines creating a symphony of power as unseen hands manipulated the very fabric of his thoughts. In front of him, a machine capable of interfacing directly with the human brain glowed menacingly. Wires connected to his scalp bridged the gap between flesh and code, linking the depths of his subconscious with a vast neural network—an intricate tapestry of energy, light, and data. He had consented to this willingly, a pioneer in the realm of cognitive experimentation. But no one could have prepared him for what was about to unfold. As the switch was thrown, his mind became a canvas, and...

We danced around, a subtle game,   With eyes that flicker, hearts untamed.   Your smile a hint, a daring play,   As silence stole the words away.   Each move, a step, a whispered dare,   In shadows soft, we’re both aware.   The rules unknown, yet somehow clear,   A risk that draws us ever near.   Your hand in mine, we turn, we spin,   A quiet challenge deep within.   The stakes grow high, but neither fold,   A game of hearts, both brave and bold.   And as the night fades into dawn,   This game, we find, has just begun.   No winners here, no need for shame,   For love, we know, is our true game.   © 2024 Abrar Nayeem.

Sasha Reynolds had never been the type to fall for her boss. She was practical, focused, and way too busy climbing the corporate ladder to indulge in such clichés. Yet, every time she walked into Ryan Cole’s office, her heart skipped a beat. Ryan wasn’t just any boss. He was tall, with sandy brown hair that always looked perfectly tousled, and a smile that could make anyone’s day better. His voice—deep, smooth—had a way of calming the most stressful situations. And the way he handled business with confidence and grace? It made Sasha weak in the knees.  But she was determined to keep her feelings locked away, especially since Ryan had never given her any indication he thought of her as anything more than a great employee. So, Sasha kept it professional, always hiding her crush behind sharp presentations and quick problem-solving. Today, however, felt different. Sasha had spent the better part of the afternoon in Ryan’s office, going over the details for a big client pitch. Ryan sat ...

By the time I slipped into the office, still clutching my half-full iced coffee, the day was already buzzing with the usual Monday chaos. Emails flooded my inbox, the office gossip was in full swing, and I had a deadline hanging over me like a storm cloud. But none of that compared to the biggest secret I carried with me—my boss, the CEO of Blake & Co., was not just my boss. He was my husband. No one knew. Not my colleagues, not even our closest friends. Ryan Blake was a brilliant, charming man, capable of inspiring confidence in everyone he met. In the office, he was the perfect leader—decisive, driven, and always professional. At home, though, he was soft and tender, the kind of man who brought me coffee in bed and slow-danced with me in the kitchen. But that part of him was just for me.  We had met long before either of us worked at Blake & Co., back when we were just two people madly in love, navigating the ups and downs of life together. The decision to keep our marria...

From the moment our eyes first met,   I felt a spark, a love so true,   Like a soft breeze, you took my breath,   And ever since, I've been falling for you. Your smile lights up the darkest days,   Like sunshine breaking through the skies,   In your embrace, I find my place,   Lost in the warmth of your loving eyes. Each whispered word, each gentle touch,   Brings me closer, heart and soul,   In your love, I’ve found so much,   A bond that makes me feel whole. With every step, I fall again,   Deeper into this love we’ve grown,   In your arms, I’ll always remain,   For with you, I’ve found my home. Your laughter is the sweetest sound,   A melody that fills my heart,   With every beat, I am bound,   To you, my love, we’ll never part. The way you look, the way you care,   It draws me in, it holds me tight,   In every momen...
