PRICKLY DREAMS ~BY NWOGU CHIKA UGONNA
Through every realm lies a mortuary of dreams.
Where Oak trees fell.
There weeds bore trees.
Poems
ECHOES OF LOST LOVE ~BY CYRIL JOHNSON
Fading memories slowly linger,
Like mist on a rainy vesper.
On the coldest nights of solitude,
I think of your irresistible pulchritude.
UNNERVED ~BY MARWAH M. SHEBL
Walk
through your front door,
the house is dark,
even with all the curtains opened
and lights turned on
go to the nearest bathroom mirror,
a man lying on the floor,
WHEN FRIENDS FIND EACH OTHER ~BY THERESA NEMETH
When friends meet at first glance, do they speak with their toes
and frown with their smiles and greet with elbows?
A POET UNDER STARRY SKY ~BY JUSTIN JADE CASTILLO
A Clout to my heart,
Thought I was smart,
A Love from my heart,
till I fell Apart.
MY SOULMATE ~BY MAALAVIGAA RAJESH
Amidst the rain’s fall,
Skies so cold and dark,
Whispers of love in pain,
Curtains sway gently in dim light.
FADING MIRRORS ~ BY JANE SMITH
In the silence of the night, shadows stretch thin,
A whisper of hunger, a battle within.
Echoes of laughter, now faint, barely heard,
A struggle for solace in a world so absurd
TOMMY – MY RESCUE CAT ~BRENDA MCDONALD
Tommy my rescue cat
He was only one year old
When he came into my home
After being left abandoned
In his garden all alone
He certainly wasn’t shy
And in no time at all
He settled in quite nicely
With his antics I recall
Playing hide and seek
SOLITUDE’S SERENADE ~SHALGUNI TRIPATHI
In shadows cast by strictest light,
She walks alone, away from sight,
A heart encased in walls of fear,
No touch, no love, no comfort near
LESSON BEREFT OF LOGOS ~ANDREW
Gray and drained, numbed but absent,
Stained only by the lessons of the past,
The secrets held close, freezing and suffocating
