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.
Poems
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
MADNESS ~BY ATOM
Walking in weakness,
mindless in a known forest.
Styling in sadness,
Forgiveness on a plate to taste
LIVING IN THE PAST DAYS LOVE ~ BY SHAHED KHANDEKAR
The winter will befall upon our youth,
And it will lose all its springliness then.
A sheer dullness shall have its firm growth,
And the inner green land will turn barren.
OUR NEMESIS AND YOUR LOVE ~BY ATOM
Let my wraith fall upon the sinning rats
you share love and time with, only to burn me inside out.
Let us bathe in their blood for the way we loved,
like the dwindling snakes intertwined, biting each other to live without.
ALAS, IT WAS JUST A DEMON ~BY MAVIS MUPFIGO
The daily anticipation,
The ever-lingering hope,
The hope of meeting him,
Like a child, yearning a mother’s embrace,
Waiting for just that moment,
Alas!! It was just a demon.
