From Unknown Galaxies We Came | Ramesh Kaul - Dive into the Depths of Contemporary Voices

From Unknown Galaxies We Came | Ramesh Kaul

From unknown galaxies
to this world we came,
to remain unknown, unmet
as strangers in the
magnetic poles of opposites.

We came via different paths
carrying our baggage
of destinies,
with our own dreams
and aspirations
to write them afresh…
can we?

We exist only to know us more
and live apart only to bond more,
isn’t this alone the purpose of
our existence, that someone
in the celestial world
destined for us.

Let the invisible bond
protect us from the
uncertainties of dreams,
let the trust build a shape
for our abode of love.

Some Days | Hubun - Dive into the Depths of Contemporary Voices

Some Days | Hubun

There’s four walls and a ceiling
A gaping hole in the ground
Creeping to the far corner afraid to make a sound
But soon my teeth start grinding as I welcome the pain
It shoots through my body, paralyzing, crippling me
It wipes my mind clean then screams into the silence
The thoughts that butcher me in my sleep
And sit with me in my seat
And hitch a ride on my shoulders as I walk down the street

Some nights I wonder why I can’t be a log
Just hit the ground and stay anything but awoke
Can’t slumber coz there’s a war up ahead that manages to pierce the center stage
And lay to waste every single beam that fights it’s way through the barren stage littered with carnage
It’s sits on my chest, sniggering
Push it away but it hugs me tighter
Some days I have some summer
Some days I have nada
Some days the glass is full
And others it’s just broken
I want to turn it off but that switch is just broken, or doesn’t exist or hiding in plain sight
Guess I’ll never know.

I Am | Mónika Tóth - Dive into the Depths of Contemporary Voices

I Am | Mónika Tóth

I am just a woman
I smile when i see you
I cry when i am sad
I laugh when i am happy
I am dreamer
I am sinner
I am thinker
I am believer
But always unhappy
But

Reflections | Stan Morrison - Dive into the Depths of Contemporary Voices

Reflections | Stan Morrison

looking back over my many years
so many different incarnations
I’m very proud of some of them
others were necessary glitches
I simply needed more chances
I am my best when I’m only this
thanks to those still around me
life evolving always worth the wait

After All | Debra Sasak Ross - Dive into the Depths of Contemporary Voices

After All | Debra Sasak Ross

The sun within the clouds are calming,
Unlike lightning in the sky which can be alarming.
The waves in the ocean are consuming,
While the stars in the sky remind me.
I’m only human.
After all.
