The River and the Waterfall – A Poem by P.K. Deb

- Leave a Comment

Along a plain the river flows,
Turns, slopes and thus goes
Forward to the destination.

It runs and listens
The call of oceans
None stands as its obstruction.

One day along with its all
The river suffers a great fall
It screams till it loses everything.

The name is not found
Amid its scaring sound
It loses the song what it could sing.

Yet it looks for a plain
As it must flow again
But in the deep nothing it can recall.

The scream attracts a cow boy
Near the falling water to enjoy
He names it amazingly ‘water-fall’.

Thus, the river becomes a water-fall
Offers an awesome beauty to people
But retains the urge to flow again.

Slowly it fills up the deep
And raises its head to peep
Gets finally a valley of smooth plain.

Who dares to stop it now?
It jumps on the plain somehow
Starts flowing and singing the lost song.

River again becomes river,
Runs not to stop ever–
Continues its journey, maybe, short or long.

Stolen or Otherwise – A Poem by G. S. Katz

- Leave a Comment

I like when you speak to me in English
Slowly
So I can take in every word
Not miss a thing
I like when you pose for me
Stare at me
Looking right through me
Pleasing me with your sensual aura
We talk, we laugh, we fight a little
I hold you in my nucleus
You are dynamite
Ready at the switch
You are me
I am you
Volatile
Fighting for position
This is love
Stolen or otherwise
Mark my words
Stay for tea
And then I will ask you
To take off your clothes
Let me drink you in
And float for a little while…

Love Relationships – A Poem by Joanne J.

- Leave a Comment

when promises come, and float away, like dandelion fluff in the
breeze

when your eyes turn inward to find out why, you ever even tried to
believe.

when you remember the time and the place that you felt your heart
break,
and swallowed the lump in your throat.

that is where you try to prepare, for the beginning of the end.

all the while, this foolish, childish heart yearns for the strength to
keep hoping, keep trying,
keep treading further down this dead end road.

Funny, or maybe not… that I laugh and tell others, “run, Forrest
run!”
but have not the will to run for myself.

I feel the hot tear on my cheek, as yet another page turns toward the
ending of this love story.

“When will you learn”… the words of well-meaning friends, has been
asked of me all my life.

When it comes to affairs of the heart……. NEVER, seems to be my
constant answer.
If the choice must be made to not love, or to feel passion, love and
loss.

I have already chosen.

as another tear slips slowly from my eye. I resolve to ask brain to
make heart sit the next step out.

heart, go sit quietly with your memories, and try not to ache as we
pull us up, and prepare to look at the day with blinders off.

This will hurt a bit.

The Chiding – A Poem by Naduni

- Leave a Comment

“You are too hard and inflexible!”
You chide me, your face on fire
“You are overly sensitive and emotional!”
I point out, tactfully reverting the chiding.
But deep within I know,
I was too harsh on you
(Not that I wanted to, in a way I had to)
And I also know
That I have become hard and inflexible
Like a plant, after intermittent beatings
Of the weather, grows into a massive tree
Nothing can bend.
But all the same your sweet self,
Funny, silly and cute self
Reminds me how once I was.
You are several years older than me
Do I envy you for your inborn gentleness
Still staying with you?
No my darling, no.
I only fill with fear
Fear for you being transformed
Into myself,
On a day not far away.

Love Comes and Goes – A Poem by G. S. Katz

- Leave a Comment

Love comes and goes
Usually not on a timetable
There’s no formula for the right love
But stay in the game always
Never quit
Open yourself up
Don’t be afraid
He’ll find you
Or you’ll find him
It’s a dance
A celebration
Not without pain
But always worth it
Just because…

Unbuttoned Life – A Poem by P.K. Deb

- Leave a Comment

Let me live an unbuttoned life
To feel the sorrows of the society,
And allow myself to circumscribe
By a divine girdle of honesty.
Let me spend the tumultuous days
To break dozing and day dreaming
And to rub the depressed to erase
The loneliness to make life cheering.
Let me enjoy the dreamful nights
To obtain a zeal for better tomorrow
And a luminous knowledge which fights
To drive out the darkness of sorrow.
Let me enjoy a delightful intermission
To establish myself on the peak of pleasure.
And return again with a new incarnation
To reform the society with suitable measure.

Retaliation – A Poem by P.K. Deb

- Leave a Comment

Amazingly, the ball is flying back to me,
my protruded eyes witness
its dreadful spinning and speed;
and the haughty heart shrinks and realises
a ruinous sequence is to be ensued.

A few moments back…
my high-strung racket stroked
the ball and posted it
to the inaccessible address of the rival.

As over-powered I was
by my pride and contumacy
so was over-confident on my skill
and was over-optimist too to obtain
the last achievement, the game point.
My body, mind and soul were prompt for
the hilarious clapping and warm felicitation
and blissful too in watching
the Samba of day-dream around me.

Suddenly, a pin-drop silence paralyses
the tumultuous environment
and I am landed back from the fantasy to the reality.
My sensation and perception are astonished by
the retaliated ball which is repelled
and addressed to a tough corner of my court.

“Oh God, please save my game,”
a bubble of importunity comes out of my heart–
almost haunted and blocked too,
still tempts me for the last effort.
Tighten my loose grip, raise the racket,
jump over to the ball to reach beneath and blow.
my eyes shut their doors,
maybe, ears also reluctant to hear
the consequence of my last struggle for existence.

Connection – A Poem by G. S. Katz

- Leave a Comment

like gloves that fit perfectly
two eggs sunny side up
finishing your sentences
Connection

bumps in the road
using humor to defuse
knowing it’s temporary
Connection

answers without questions
a sip of your coffee
the road is long
Connection

karma
skin
imperfection
Connection…

Bitter Sweet – A Poem by Anthony Cannon

- Leave a Comment

Can you taste this?
They wanna know how I feel about it.
How I feel about holding back my pain and thankfulness for so many
remorseful years.
I account for the misery and woe in my bed sheets,
All of the nights of losing sleep and waking up feeling so
incomplete.
But then again…
The times I’m glad I’m still in God’s favor,
Still sitting on my throne over a pristine spotless temple.
Not ashamed of the tread of my feet I trod.
This potent wine I spill from my abode freezes solid-
Hard as rocks as they drop to deliver panic and unnecessary
persecution!
This is bitter sweet.
I’ve been picked over, left for dead, dissed at and forgotten,
They say my time has ran out,
But how could I believe this nonsense I’m reciting to you?
Can you believe this?
I rise up and stay above it,
Thinking to myself I’m on my own island of continuation…
That this lonesome, dark, pitch black nightmare will never end.
Go all the way to gehenna and back and still ceases to not exist.
This is bitter sweet.
Like how I’m ecstatic but it breaks my bones and crushes the marrow.
As I put my heart in this,
I love the sweet,
But I despise the bitter.
Thank you for tasting my bitter sweet.
