A Woman's Dream – A Poem by Raviera

To Whoever said come out of your dreams and live in the real
world…
Dreaming is the only time to feel real freedom…
I dream of a safe environment for my sisters and daughters.
I dream of freedom.
I dream of world where love and kindness is real.
I dream of a world where I can breathe freely.
I dream of a world where I am looked upon with respect.
I dream of a world free of envy, hatred and fear
A world of justice.
I dream, I dream and I dream…and…I wish my eyes never opened…
inspired by every woman’s dream…

Broken – A Poem by Raviera

Nothing killed me
No one could beat me
I won a thousand wars against many
And still I stood with my head held high
And a big smile
But the day my own people abandoned me
Something died in me
Now I am not alive anymore
I breathe no more
I see no more
I am no more

Snowbelt – A Poem by Jeanne Fiedler

The sky sheds its
white fur
a flight of creeping
particles
at one time
separating us from
the world- the whole
prisoners wrapped up
in icy straight jackets
as we look out the
window and sigh

We try to warm
our fragile bodies
but feel helpless
against the earth
and its dangers
closed off and
blacked out
we watch and
hope for a rush
of quiet
amidst the storm

The obscure
piercing wind
sounds angry
out there
turbulent, raging

I close my eyes
to stop the
wings of the wind
and the frozen vapor
feeling overwhelmed
and helpless

Having Faith – A Poem by Kathy Anderson

Hope is like a burning match
Easily lit and easily put out

Life is like our hopes
Nice to create but hard to keep

Willows cry as much as sleep
Sleeping to keep Winter’s dreams alive

Live in your dreams like Van Gogh,
Embrace the madness with understanding

Words – A Poem by Nathy Dulanto Bernuy

Words,
That disappear with the wind
That time erases easily
Hurt more than punches
Resonate in my head this night

What am I just with words?
An empty soul
A breathless heart
A solitary errand in this lonely world
Nothing but the reflection of my thoughts

What am I just with my voice?
when I can’t get to you
when it vanishes in an echo
when I just want to scream my love
When I can’t talk about what I feel

What am I just with my dreams?
A girl with just love
A stone in the road
A hopeless girl that lost all
Looking for faith in this solitary job

Words won’t be enough to express this love
Words won’t be enough to get to you
Words won’t be enough to apologize enough
What am I going to do when I just have words?

I Am Gasoline – A Poem by Susan Marie

reassemble
my
thought
with visions and goals
dreams and ideals
a sustainable life
something more
than this
current
societal
existence

rejuvenate
my
body
arms
splayed
outstretched
before you
your feast
my mouth
your escape
my holy altar
your salvation

regenerate
my
blood
so that it
brings me
sweet breath
open your mouth wide,
dear
allow it to flow
into your own
be a
shining white
beacon
of
hope

be all of this and more
for me, you, us

this most divine union
of souls
is meant
to change

everything

let us rejoice
and bring them all
back home
to the land
the silt
the rich green grass
emerald
the climbing vines
and meadows
the cool deep streams
and the air we breathe

oh, so pure
the ether

let us bring it all
together
again

let us set fire to the sky
awaken oceans
raging, angry
let us call thunder
alerting the Earth
to shiver and quake
like my thighs
alabaster
like your deep rich eyes
boring down upon me now
like the volcanic rumbling
of every tired human voice

let us torch ourselves
this world must be reborn

i am gasoline
and you are my match

let us awaken the angels
so their choirs are heard
in all worlds
divine

like when we first met
a hazy rendition
of tidal waves
and dolphins dancing

ecstatic

Have You Ever Seen Me Like This? – A Poem by Anuradha Fonseka

Do I look that lighthearted.. happy..mischievous and playful like
never before?
You have never seen me like this?
Oh shame on you. read me better, look closer…
you will see the scars still hurting
I killed my feelings when promises and my heart were broken
My feelings and sentiments were assassinated on the spot
So that I won’t sigh whenever I think of you

You want old me back?
You want me to care the same and be that gentle?
I have murdered my sentiments for you
When my gentle heart was broken
You better try later
Only if my heart would ever recover

Ode to J’pura – A Poem by Anuradha Fonseka

Your dreams will be realized
Though not exactly the same way you wished
Be happy child…! Love what you’ve got
Be grateful to “Him” for what you’ve got

Though not grand, what I got was precious
The dear place let me love it
The giant trees, lawns and flower beds
Soon made me feel home; where I belong

The flowery tops of giant trees
The smiling faces beneath them
And the memories made beneath them
Rejoice my heart to its core

J’pura is the place which taught me
To learn lessons from my own life
A place which taught me to learn myself
And the purpose of my life

A place which taught me not to judge,
Not to trust, but to be compassionate
A place which taught me to smile through
The pain and with he who caused it

Hail J’pura….! Vive le J’pura
Give the love you gave me to
Every soul which yearns for happiness
Through a half realized dream
