Garden of Sprites by Lyndsey Hylton

Before You Returned by Shahida Latif
Before You Returned by Shahida Latif Who peeps into through the broken windows? Who faltering advances adorning lamps of tears? Whose lashes luster with the gleamy glassy pearls? Who pants lying prostrate at the sill of the door? Isn’t he the same partner, companion who scorned, And falsely vowed thousand of times to be faithful? […]
Aquí te hubiese amado by Luz del Alba Nicola
Aquí te hubiese amado by Luz del Alba Nicola Sobre los arenales se desliza la tarde y alas de plata pintan un cielo de zafiro. Anclados en el muelle del amor, los recuerdos, saben a sal y muestran sus bordes carcomidos. Aquí y en otro ahora tú eras el canto mismo del mar, cual caracola, […]
And because Love battles by Pablo Neruda

Orlando Furioso Canto 19 by Ludovico Ariosto
ARGUMENT Medoro, by Angelica’s quaint hand, Is healed, and weds, and bears her to Catay. At length Marphisa, with the chosen band, After long suffering, makes Laiazzi’s bay. Guido the savage, bondsman in the land, Which impious women rule with civil sway, With Marphisa strives in single fight, And lodges her and hers at full […]
Orlando Furioso Canto 18 by Ludovico Ariosto

His Insufficiency Of Praise by Luis Vaz de Camoes
So sweet the lyre, so musical the strain, By which my suit, Belovëd! is expressed, That, hearing them, no such indifferent breast But welcomes Love and his delicious pain, And opes to his innumerable train Of sweet persuasions, lovely mysteries, Brief angers, gentle reconcilements, sighs And ardour unabash’d by proud disdain. Yet, when I strive […]

Urban Caterpillar by Minal Sarosh
On the gantry the red pigeon bead eye flashes. We halt. An urban caterpillar, suddenly, pinched, picked, still alive cars, scooters, bus, wriggling wangling, caught in its hungry gray beak.
