Can't Be Found – A Poem by G. S. Katz

ANNOUNCEMENT: PLEASE TURN OFF ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES

In today’s world
We live in 24/7
Communication
A lot of it is text useless
Though guilty myself
When the instant communique
Makes me smile

I like when I am commanded
To power down devices
That joyous moment
When I can’t be found
I know what you’re thinking
You can always leave the phone home
But then there will be an annoying
message to be returned

So, if you’re like me
And treasure the crystal silence
Of a gentler time
When walking in the park
Didn’t involve alerts and ringtones
Treasure the words on your smartphone
That read
“NO SERVICE”

Snarky – A Poem by G. S. Katz

I’m a snarky dude
Living in my own universe of despair
Fringe life
The king of sarcasm
Cursing a sunny day
Loving the dark side
Swimming upstream forever
Finding solace where I shouldn’t
And then you
You captured me and taught me
How to smile a little bit
I’m not quite filled with glee
But haven’t broken anything lately either
Work in progress
Life in motion
A writer’s life
Thankful for words
Redemption and or salvation
Waiting patiently

Dulcinea – A Poem by JD DeHart

She was crooked teeth and rottenness
masquerading as the promise of a lifetime
disguised as a bright bride
and you thought you saw all of her
When she spoke, her voice came with razors
pricking little insults
and be glad now she found another river
to float down, to be free of that sound
At the time, seeing her through dull eyes,
really seeing only windmills, a belief in love
for love’s sake before growing.

What If – A Poem by Anuradha Fonseka

What if I were not his and you were not hers
We could be ours…Couldn’t we?
They won’t call our tree house is on a forbidden tree
You could kiss me sans guilt and I could escape with you sans guilt
What if…!! What if….!!
What if you were mine….?
I won’t be gone when you wake up
You could be mine in the sun too
Now that you and I belong to the moon
We watch the stars… You know their names
We could watch the breaking of the dawn too
If you were mine…
It rains and snows outside
We could make our tree house warmer
With our breath and skin on fire (sans guilt)
“What if I kiss you anyway…?”
You ask me. I have no answer
If you were mine
There could be neither rules nor limits
If you were mine and I were yours
You already are… don’t you think?
Though not physically your soul belongs to me
What if you were mine?? Completely!
What if I love you anyway??

Departure – A Poem by Daniel Klawitter

The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways- I to die,
and you to live. Which is better God only knows.
— Socrates in Plato’s Apology

It is the way of all flesh and dust
That most things must come to an end.
What begins must stop, what was
Becomes what is not.

But some things remain. Not just
The DNA passed on to your descendants.
There are other remnants beyond
The grave and mortal coil of weakness.

To speak of it would spoil the secret.

This then is the end of a poem
That knows well what it can’t disclose
While hoping for a sequel.
So for now, this poet of the people
Says goodbye, the end- Finito.

Addicted to Me- A Selfie Romance – A Poem by G. S. Katz

Nobody
Could ever be in love with me
As much I am
With myself

Often seen doing selfies
Capturing myself in splendid digital
Cell phone bliss
Texting my addiction to the masses

Sex is easy with me
And hot to boot
I never say no
And my headache isn’t a problem

Yeah, it’s all about me
My loves and lovers are sweet
But they have stiff competition
ME, ME, ME, ME…

Our Love – A Poem by G. S. Katz

You cover me
Like a warm blanket
When we sleep
With a window open

We protect each other
From outside evils
It’s not complicated
That’s what lovers do

We make up quickly
If an argument ensues
Like second skin
Joined together, me and you

The Wind That Blew – A Poem by Anuradha Fonseka

Once was a garden
Where all kinds of flowers grew
Varied colours of flowers with
Varied textures and aroma

Two buds of dissimilar species
Yet similar in heart
They were differently textured
Their worlds were like chalk and cheese

Whilst they were struggling to bloom
Some mild breeze brought them close
They were amazed by the knowledge
That their hearts and wishes were alike

Tenderly were they blooming hand in hand
Strengthening their roots
Dreaming of the amazing life ahead
Wonderful friends they were

People thought they were fine sisters
Feeling alike, dreaming alike
That they will adorn
The world hand in hand

Alas..!! NO. They were wrong
A wind blew so strong
They were drawn apart
Far… Far from each other

The wind, still is so strong
It never lets them closer
Could a wind draw hearts apart
Though it could draw the selves apart

No… Strong be the wind
Stronger is their friendship
Whose hearts beat alike
Cannot be defeated by a gale

May twilight surround with stars above
May it snow and draw them apart
They know somewhere around them
Breathes their great friendship
