Resurrection Tuesday | Judge Santiago Burdon

The subversive scheme
of benevolent intention
Fades with the last smile of summer
Sounding an aluminum voice
With an echo of fragile breath
Silence interrupts the
Applause of thunder
Sentiments of affection
Now a crippling disability
Unable to outrun the future
Your long ago in pursuit
On the heels of memory’s shadow.
Littering an already tortured landscape
with leaves of a weathered reputation
The forecast calling for a season of scandal
Created on this resurrection Tuesday.

To End The Day:

What is joy
Asked the bee,
Anything that can enchant my soul
The flower replied.

The abandoned petal laughed
Said,
Brutus was his happiness
He was Caesar.

Look behind you,
Look in front.

You don’t hear
What I do.

You don’t feel
What they do.

On the periphery
Of the scene.

Just out of reach
At dusk.

“I’ve faith in my feathers
which give the ability to fly worldwide
with my 6/6 eyesight.

My light weighted skeleton helps me to hop-
to plash in the cool shallow river
and to prance on the tree top.

Our species live in the flock
which is considered a form of culture.
I’m completely shocked to see man’s nature like the vulture.

I migrate on great distance
without having any hindrance.
But you’ve merely made range.

I have a toothless beak to chirp and to sing.
But you harshly cut down
my wings in a single blink!

You’ve put me in the cage
& have snatched my part of sunshine.
May I know the reason for such heinous crime!”

Masks upon enticing masks,
Identities fade away,

Hungry for vivid dreams,
Wishes fade away,

Light felt too dark,
The dark felt too light!
Goodbyes sneak in,
The hellos fade away.

Sea, Shore and the Sky | Amrita Singh

The day breaks into a crimson dusk,
Pastels merging into the bright chirpy hues,
The sea stretches to the horizon Unabashed hopes of a rendezvous with the sky

The shore seeped in love, surrenders to the sea,
The sea unrequiting:unloving,
Ebbs away with life
Sprawling death all over across the shore.

Since centuries, the Shore has begged for love from the Sea
Since centuries, the Sea has loved the sky.

Neither attaining what one wishes to have, nor belonging where the heart lies.
Reflecting the rays of the sun on itself, shore beckons out to the Sea…..

While, entranced in ethereal beauty of the Sky,
Sea strives constantly to endear
Spurned, rejected, the sea returns to the shore in the night,
Her cares are caressed into oblivion by the all giving lover

Yet again, then, she turns rejuvenated to the sky
The shore waits endlessly for the Sea, with silent sighs.

Joyous at dusk, the shore lives on; for those moments
And
Lovelorn Sea lives on for the dawn to meet the Sky.

Most of us evade as the Sky
Some of us are the Sea,

Very Few, like the Shore, stand by.

The House | Eduardo Contreras

January 10, 2024 / Best Poetry / contemporary poetry, house poems, human behavior poems, human condition poems, stories poems / Leave a Comment

The house has stood empty
For as long as I can remember.
I’ve often wondered who
Used to live in it and what
Kinds of stories they would
Share with me if I were to
Meet them—would I be glad
That I got to hear them or
Would I recoil in horror.
Sometimes stories aren’t
The kind where everything
Turns out well for everyone.
