Jacaranda by Norma Martiri
Jacaranda by Norma Martiri September blooms of purple hues, adorn the city street. And in bright splendour praises Spring, where limbs and feathers meet.

I was born with a cry by Nur Al-Alam
I was born with a cry by Nur Al-Alam O my Beloved! I was born with a cry. Didn’t know why? Perhaps, for separation from heaven above, Or maybe, for safety, protection and love. But before knowing where I was landed, What was I signed-up for, Even before a tear was dropped, Blessed was I, […]
How…? by Nizar Sartawi
How did you droop like a captain horrified by a storm when in your horizons flocks of white clouds passed tickling the eyelids of the sun, and close to your vacant eyes ecstatic daffodil tresses went swaying in rapture at the edges of the stream sipping wine from the golden horizon and pouring drunken ghosts […]
From: The Home We Will Never Live In That Place by Nijole Miliauskaite
that place, where one spring we saw a grass snake – greenish gold where a forest stream curled around a meadow, laughing; fallen trees lay rotting, not touched by anyone so warm and green that place, where for the first time, I saw a grass snake – his gold crown all that is gone now […]
Heat Wave by Norma Martiri
Heat Wave by Norma Martiri Outstretched limbs shelter us as we slowly sip iced tea. Sweaty glasses compete against sweaty bodies. Mango juice drips down our arms as the familiar summer flavour bursts in our mouths. The children squeal with cool delight playing endless games in the spouting sprinkler. The poor old dog sits in […]
For Birds by Nithin Purple
They freedom lovers, breeze waft those mighty wings, Swiftly moving aloft in a “pulsar ‘pace!, That view enraptured me, and my enchanted feelings, How fortunate are they in gravitational ace, And I your eager watcher, or felt a birder be, They black, white and of brilliant gray color mixed, What brain holds them, what imagination […]

Evening by Olivia Lewis
The sun, a sheer glowing ball, Falls in a rush of mahogany light Smokey and palpable Through the evening night The air is dense and downy soft The moon a thin reed flute Whose solitary tune hearkens to the Wavering, ethereal keening Of wind among the creaking pines The bone-white moon shines eerily And the […]
E-waste by Nisha Gopalakrishnan
When I was new, you knew me more, You used me much, you explored all my features, you were proud of using me, you boasted about me to your friends, And at some point of time… I became outdated for you, you lost interest in me, You found someone new and disposed me as such… […]
Dreamtime by Olivia Lewis
Dreamtime Surrounded by black water, the wave has carried me away Suddenly I smell the familiar scent of mango trees I hear the night calling its familiar tune of crickets Home, take me home.

Death Divine by Nithin Purple
Since my psyche has languished and unwilling rhythm; The cryptic confession that my brain do bear.you gaze in your suborn power, by your mate-less vision.To me your alarm is higher; your doubtless mild mission!

Dead Orchard by Nijole Miliauskaite
dead orchard, dried plum trees and the frozen apple, dead trunks, skewed, twisted branches, knotted fingers, in the cold gray heavens with a wooden face between hesitating clouds beneath my feet dry grass crunches, last year’s, the smell of dust permeates the air, piercing, sharp, sand in my mouth, between my teeth, so brittle, so […]

Cambodian Flower by Norma Martiri
Cambodian Flower by Norma Martiri Falling petals brush her face Fantasies fill time and space. Mae’s soft kisses touch her cheeks A kind whisper quietly speaks.

Burnt in contemplation by Nishant Deherkar
When i drown in wonder, My thoughts lose their tracks, My mind suffers a chemical romance, I surrender myself to oblivion, Across the clutches of time, Where i find solace in the emptiness Living pessimism with finesse. Livid memories open up wounds, With the guilty, none other than me, I fall into pieces, speckles of […]
The Bonifratrian Hospital by Nijole Miliauskaite

Blank by Nizar Sartawi

Between Two Moments by Nizar Sartawi

Between going and staying the day wavers by Octavio Paz
Between going and staying the day wavers by Octavio Paz Between going and staying the day wavers, in love with its own transparency. The circular afternoon is now a bay where the world in stillness rocks. All is visible and all elusive, all is near and can’t be touched. Paper, book, pencil, glass, rest in […]
Basic Overhaul by Nijole Miliauskaite
in a frenzy I turn the whole house upside down from basement to attic, amazing myself, I can’t stop wondering what imp has possessed me, it’s really so ludicrous with no prior plan, although at times it seems all predetermined inside me I choose what to discard, what to give away and to whom and […]

An Elegy On The Glory Of Her Sex, Mrs Mary Blaize by Oliver Goldsmith Good people all, with one accord Lament for Madam Blaize, Who never wanted a good word,— From those who spoke her praise. The needy seldom passed her door, And always found her kind; She freely lent to all the poor,— Who […]

Then I sharpened my wings for a prissy flight, Through powerful Light that Heavenly be; And that one moment that I relived from my sinful drought, That appealed for many longer years, than brightness ever probe.

A woman’s desire by Oriada Dajko
A lonely woman near a window, looks after the sun under the shadow. Her whisper becomes a cloud. A cloud painted into the sky, created by the hand of God, designed by my mind. A beautiful woman is a wind, which touches deeply my eyes. Copyright ©: Oriada Dajko End of the poem 15 random […]
The Deserted Village by Oliver Goldsmith
The Deserted Village by Oliver Goldsmith Sweet Auburn! loveliest village of the plain, Where health and plenty cheered the labouring swain, Where smiling spring its earliest visits paid, And parting summer’s lingering blooms delayed: Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease, Seats of my youth, where every sport could please, How often have I loitered […]
