»Life Story«

by April A., Oct 24, 2008

She's out in the rain, on the verge of despair. / The smoke is twirling in fresh autumn air, / Ten cigarettes stand for three-four minutes each. / She's waiting for him - he is out of reach. / At last he shows up: "Hey, I'm sorry I'm late", / She sighs with relief. What a wonderful date! / He looks like a…  sign in to read more »


»Unknown Escape«

by Shimano Patel, Oct 2, 2008

Numbness arouses the very pinnacle of being / Pins and needles from head to toe / For a moment in time I feel no pain / I feel free- / / Letting go a vacant emotion, I sweetly clench / A heart beat lost / Within racing pulse / For I must bear / This is the only way- / / Shimmering sweaty hands…  sign in to read more »


»Hope«

by Shimano Patel, Oct 1, 2008

Sweet memories play childishly / In the play ground of heart / My mind spinning in essence / Of ecstasy once experienced / Now lost in life's life- / / A twinkle catches me / Putting me in those / Moments back in time / But just for a moment / All is come and go / You and I- / / Sadness wiped away…  sign in to read more »


»Troubled Waters«

by Shimano Patel, Oct 1, 2008

I sail my ship in search of / The forgotten land / Only known to sailors brave enough to survive / Wild waters and savage storms / / I brave the current so strong, / Of pain and sorrow / Endured thought life / In an endless stream of wrongs / / I sail my ship against wild waters / In the quest to find…  sign in to read more »


»Stranger«

by April A., Sep 23, 2008

I'm walking alone / In dark empty lanes, / Each trace is well-known - / Each belongs to no way. / Here I'm a stranger, / My home is far. / Somewhere my heart waits - / It's right where you are. / Streets meet me with rain, / And cold winds bring just dust. / They know - on this way / There is no one to trust…  sign in to read more »


»Heartwreck«

by April A., Sep 11, 2008

The queen of the sleeping beauty. / A thorn in my heart - loneliness / Has left me a beautiful mess. / The fear of my misty future. / Can't you see that I'm dying, love? / Would you give it a try - just to save me, / For I am too lost in you? / / The beauty of sorrow reigns, / And my pride has been washed…  sign in to read more »


»Frailty«

by April A., Sep 8, 2008

The heart in my chest is bleeding, / But blood never shows a stain. / If only behind this mask of tranquility / You could see a soul that is grieving... / My heart has the same ability / To suffer - to drown in pain. / If you knew how much one word could mean... / If you only saw me falling / Apart right…  sign in to read more »


»A Story Without An End«

by April A., Sep 6, 2008

"Me, love and you... Three halves of something whole, / If one is missing, everything is clear." / These words can paint the sorrow in my soul, / But once bright colors fade away in years. / Once sweet anticipation of your arms, / A shard of dreams, by now has turned to fear / Of someone else's charm.…  sign in to read more »


»The other woman«

by Helen Reynolds, Aug 13, 2008

Sometime I keep thinking / Of the other woman / It is hard to forget / / I keep on asking myself / Why would he still want me now / Why would he still want me to stay / After all he was looking - wanting more / / Don't fool yourself / Your are not what he wants / Can't you see / You're not what he desires…  sign in to read more »


»The Flame«

by Abdul Milazi, Jun 10, 2008

in the night around my life / the candle flame flickers attracting insects / it is moths who mostly come to dance around it / a frenzy of love / they fall softly on the table / dizzied or maybe exhausted / the flame beckons / they pick up their wings and take the floor / for another dance / / they shimmy up…  sign in to read more »


»Loyalty is underway«

by Albara Almerf, Jan 1, 1970

If it was up to me you would have been walking on air today, / Read it out now you’re here the very next day. / What a dunce assumed had gotten for what I prayed,good lord its just an other who wanted to play. / Is it my love that she wants or just a place to stay, / I have got both said the prey. / At…  sign in to read more »


»Mist is falling...«

Mist is falling on her face, / She is not for a lusted race, / Pure as rainbow colors, / She brings smiling flowers, / Visually, a treat for …  sign in to read more »


»My Mind, Your Body...«

by Williamsji Maveli, Jan 1, 1970

Placing my little fingers / on your sharp edges, / I shall shape you again; / Turning my iron keys / on your closed locks, / I shall open you again; / Stretching my brushes / on your smooth curves, / I shall paint you again; / Mixing my new clays / on your shining cheeks, / I shall mould you again; / Sitting on…  sign in to read more »


»My thoughts for you«

by Jahangir Kashif, Jan 1, 1970

My love and my poetry. / My heart and my poetry. / My imaginations and my poetry. / My feeling and my poetry. / My love was the passion of my writing. / My heart was the reason for my writing. / My imaginations were the thoughts for my writing. / My feelings were the words for my writing. / All of the above…  sign in to read more »


»Young Love«

by Judith Thandi Jama, Jan 1, 1970

The night forever young / In our youth thrills / We wear darkness like the cape / Embellished with stars / When they shoot we board them with sweet wishes / Into the land of our desires / Where luring whispers / As crisp as the Sunday breeze / Drones the Voice of Caution / Echoing: "YOU'RE STILL YOUNG, YOU'L…  sign in to read more »
