No Religion, Only Love – A Poem by G. S. Katz

I have no religion
The one I have is in the lock box
Love is the closet form of prayer
It’s around every corner, waiting, wanting

Love can start anywhere
On line at the post office
On the C train headed to Penn Station
Shopping for avocados in the market

Even if your heart has been splintered
In a million shards of scrap
Go to the lost and found
The clerk might be holding flowers

Live, Lust, Dream, Laugh
Smile through dark clouds
Pet a dog, give money to those with less
Love yourself, Make this the day…

Love – A Poem by Naduni

Filling my eyes with tears
You went… leaving me behind
In the evening you fill my dreams
Why do I love you… like this?
You did cheat me, I know
The hurt is written in the heart
But before your eyes
I am servile… only you know why
Feel like meeting you again
Tomorrow evening and saying “I love you”
Though I dream only about you
You don’t belong to me, I know…

Rhyme – A Poem by G. S. Katz

I don’t know
I don’t like to read
Poems that rhyme
It’s kind of a cop out
A gimmick
That sing song sludge
You call your verse
Take some time
And do it right

The Ensnaring Morning – A Poem by P.K. Deb

My morning clean and clear eyes
The best place to fall on them
For something fresh, cool and nice.
The same old park of monotony
For daily jogging, walking and refreshing–
Was my routine- wise morning destiny.
Exhausted body and monotonous mind
Compelled me to sit for a while
On a bench with a bush behind.
Luckily the morning was dutiful
In awaking up my dormant fortune
To witness a jogging girl- fresh and beautiful.
What a thrill it was! The jogging–
She jogged freely round and round
But made me submerged in sweating.
A heart-quake was felt
To shed down my synthetic seriousness
And to heat my heart to melt .
I discovered my naughtiness
As my protruded eyes and inquisitive mind
Jogged behind her as shameless.
Slowly the sun came the park inside
Made the girl tired and brought her
About to me to sit beside.
She wished me, “Good Morning,”
But ensnared and watchful I was
To her ups and downs of quick breathing.
“Hey Mister, where are you?” she enquired
And brought me back into the reality
From fantasy where I was quite ensnared.
On my stammering in reply,
She sketched a curved smile
And rewarded me her first and last good-bye.

Mankind – A Poem by P.K. Deb

Let’s have a travel
Up to that level
Where from knowledge turns behind.
Quite keen to quest,
Try up to the best,
Nowhere they are available to find.
Possessors of big brain,
Still suffer from sprain
On the way of reachable destiny.
The lanes of pain and gain
Are known to them, but often
They knock the doors of agony.
The apologue is memorised
And the lessons are exercised,
Grow up with teacher and guide.
Still foolish they are,
Unmindful and unaware
Of the opportunity with which they collide.
Greed for more repulses them
To the hell of the ever increasing jam
Of the creatures of ruinous nature.
Thus they become aberrant,
Mingle with vices in constant
And befoul and blight their future.
Luminous is their habitat
And minds are illuminated,
Still to darken they never mind.
They have earned a lot
Of the great virtues at cost,
Although unkind yet they are mankind.

The Passion – A Poem by Naduni

Now you don’t remember
The first day we met
But I do and will for the rest
Of my life
The passion that lay beneath
Your copper colored eyes
And your voice,
Was strong enough to touch.
I was engulfed, trapped
In the hell you opened for me
That looked like the Eden
Your feeling that looked like love
Your heat that felt like love
Turned to be filth
Yes, filth, in a moment
A sinner you made me
Yes, a sinner!
We have ruined the god, the world
The mankind
You opened the third eye
And started the damnation
I was the torch you used to set fire
So when you started
It’s me who burnt first…

Broken – A Poem by Ashley Morgan

There are so many things in this life beyond my grasp. Dreams,
aspirations, expectations I had for the future that just never could
have been realized. I am a dreamer. You knew this from the beginning.
And you were a wanderer – you loved deeply, but that love was
flawed. Just as I am flawed. I am broken.

Like the toy that is thrown aside when something shiny and new comes
along, you kept me because perhaps deep down you really needed me, but
you did not appreciate me. I am the beaten and battered toy from so
many tumbles into the back of your mind. And I am broken.

My flaws are real, there is no one on this earth that is perfect. But
imperfect as I may be, I loved you with as much that any person could
give another. I sat by you through bad times and relished in the good.
I tried my best to fix myself along the way, to pick up the broken
pieces of my heart, to give you as much love as I could. Yet in the
end, I remain broken.

As unhealthy as this love may be, I need you. You are the glue that
keeps the pieces together and you are the hammer that rips them apart.
Each time I shatter the pieces scatter farther, taking more and more
time to find. Will you be there to find the pieces to fix my broken
heart or will you again disappear to leave me blind in the dark? I am
still broken.
