Tumult by Nicole M Nugent

Tip tap RAIN by Neelam Sinha

The Waist of Time by The Waist of Time

In between our feet which have lost […]
The Shadow of Crows by Ndue Ukaj
The Shadow of Crows In the island of cordiality solitude is bitter And the broken structure of sex In the river of time was crawling I didn’t recognise Homer and his blindness With the steps of Achilles I measure the current time And the kilometers beyond Ithaca Your azured bulb becomes lost in the nudity […]
The Red Earth of Kupungarri by Nicole M Nugent
The Red Earth of Kupungarri by Nicole M Nugent The Red Earth of Kupungarri.

The man with the blue eye by Neelam Shah

The Emigrant by Ndue Ukaj
The Emigrant by Ndue Ukaj The Emigrant He has only questions, his answers so very timid In dirty pockets with concreted nostalgia.

Superficially by Ndue Ukaj
Superficially The smoke clattered…raised a ridge over me Where my head is oscillating just as the empty glass of Raki on the exhausted hand.

Riposte to the Bard: Sonnet 130 remade in my lady’s image by Neil Outar
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun; but lustrous shades of silky chestnut brown as vast and deep as hidden rivers run swiftly drawing this unvers’d suitor down. Through the stygian deeps of fading time and through the ebon breadth of endless space, no force in heaven can deny the light that shines like […]
Rapture by Neil Outar
In stygian gloom on an ebon throne Lord of the Dead in his unhappy realm sits crowded by shades, and yet all alone. The moans of the damned threaten to o’erwhelm this God, burdened ‘neath Cyclopean helm don’d in war ‘gainst the Titans horde. Among the new Gods he proved the most fell, scything through […]

O the Chimneys by Nelly Sachs
O the chimneys On the carefully planned dwellings of death When Israel’s body rose dissolved in smoke Through the air – To be welcomed by a chimney sweep star Turned black Or was it a ray of the sun? O the chimneys! Paths of freedom for the dust of Jeremiah and Job – Who dreamed […]
Mirage by Neelam Sinha
Why do we wander for it , why this is so illusive The thing which is known as love the “exclusive” , Neither finding it on the earth nor even in the vast blue Why people claim so tall that it is in their heart’s hue , So easy to claim it but it is […]
Minnesang by Neil Outar
The gage is thrown, the challenge met and on the field of battle set in the grand arena where true knights contend.

Job by Nelly Sachs
O you wind rose of torment! Torn by primeval storms In ever changing directions of the tempests; Yet your south is loneliness, Where you stand is the navel of pain.

Immigranten by Ndue Ukaj
Immigranten by Ndue Ukaj Immigranten Ndue Ukaj Han har bara frågor, hans svar är vridna Med smutsiga fickor av förstärkt nostalgi Han har bara minnen som kretsar runt halsenLiksom stenen i kvarnen skakar honom ett steg framåt och ett bakåt, I det strömmande vattenfall som minnet piskar, Och fångar tiden som han aldrig ser.

Hummingbird by Nicole M Nugent
Hummingbird by Nicole M Nugent How the mind can fly, hovering for that everlasting love light, Love that excites the abandoned soul, in a dazed brazen fight.
