Moonbeam flowers by Preeth Nambiar
The sanctum sanctorum is ready, I have bathed the idol and lit lights divine. With a corbeille when I stood amidst the green, I wanted those flowers to offer unto His feet.

Miracles by Paul Hostovsky
Miracles by Paul Hostovsky Spiritual texts are the most boring books in the world. None of them mentions a bicycle or a Ferris wheel, or baseball, or sea lions, or ice cream. They just lump them all together into “the world.” The “world of appearances.” The “world of illusions.” You can walk through this world […]
Mind Extempore by Pawan Kumar
What are the layers of human mind, and where he situates in context? He behaves differently at moments, and knowledge disseminated has degrees.

Lovers since Eternity by Preeth Nambiar
Holding the arms of the beloved listening to the songs of earthly love when slept, when the withering May-flowers woke me up from deepest slumber, amidst the wandering clouds when I searched, there was silence- mesmerising silence!

Loud Silence by Preethi Saravanakumar
A classic painting; silent and loud! Sang everlasting melodies unknown, Bright colors graced show; hued crowd played tunes for the king in the throne. Sang everlasting melodies unknown, The fine instruments in hands of men played tunes for the king in the throne. Elegantly posed smiling young maiden. The fine instruments in hands of men […]

Letter to my father by Preeth Nambiar
O father, beneath my feet, see there flares of ice and my feet drenching; and above head the burning sun that erases the images; between the chilled winter and red hot summer I would faint; hold me on your arms tight close to you! Be the moonlight in this darkness that takes me from the […]
Let me Roam by Penny Leigh Moller
let the wings of eagles carry me away, to a place where no one will go or stay, where there’s freedom to roam, and freedom to fly, among the stars above in the sky. Where the flowers bloom endlessly, and the trees grow at will, where the wind is passive, and the grass never still. […]

It is raining! by Preeth Nambiar

IN VINCULUM by PEGGY AYLSWORTH
IN VINCULUM by PEGGY AYLSWORTH A ribbon of windows shadowed on the wall, the flash of a passing car pierce the morning with their temporary light. The day proposes. Across the street I see a woman with a German Shepherd. A toddler runs to hold her hand, attaching their stories. Under different trees I wander, […]
I threaded a garland with the memories of a spring… by Preeth Nambiar

Hoppleroopleoopledook by Pornika Ganguly
Hoppleroopleoopledook was this, Really funny land, Where silliness had no limit, And responsibility had no stand. Where people ate their tea with salt, Where children ate their sauce with broth Where people acted their mind’s say, Without a teeny-tiny-weeny thought. Where grannies hobbled on their hands, And mummies cartwheeled round the land! Where babies bawled […]
Greece Madum…! by Perugu Ramakrishna
She sashayed towards me Like an angel Spreading moonlight All over the path she treaded Enchanted I kept staring at her At last I managed a word, “Kalimera”(Good Morning) She smiled and held my hand I felt at that minute; that was the hand; the holy hand that has been Guarding me from near and […]

Forgotten by Priya Prithviraj
There’s a scented silence here, that’s broken only by the ticking of the kitchen clock, and the sound of rain. As I sit by the window, watching drops of rain chase each other down the windowpane, a cup of warm tea sits on the table, forgotten. Poetry In Englishwww.poetry.monster
Forbidden Silence by Preeth Nambiar
When the way stretched from morning still evenings, tired of my struggle to catch those dicey moments escaping from my fingertips, in the twilight evening of serenity when I smiled, there was silence – melancholic silence! Holding the arms of the beloved listening to the songs of earthly love when slept, when the withering May-flowers […]

Eating a Wampee by Piera Chen
The skin parts like curtains, Out tumbles a tender load. The tongue fumbles for the flesh, Flicking, shoving, Letting the sweetness guide its plunder Like a traitor’s hand. Two seeds glisten in the quiet of a palm. Beside them the shriveled skin Neatly folded upon itself Without a hint of an arc. Like a moth […]

Creators by Pawan Kumar
Creators ————– How are epics created, from where the material comes How much is one prepared and big plot is created? How is a book written what chapters to be imbued, and one thinks beyond his time & ideas are generated? How does he decide purpose and dares in forward direction, collects necessary ingredients & […]
Composition by Peter Cooley
Composition by Peter Cooley I have watched from this chair all afternoon alone, while snow traces features of hills I’d never noticed, watching the light fall, get up, fall, pulling the dark after it. No one is here. No one inhabits me but my poem, images that stumble, rise to take the air, refusing measure, […]

A reason for you by Pritha halder
Elated is your face, Placid is thou mind; Perhaps in me – the reason you’ll find. When your heart trumpets with pride, And the highest achiever is shy; Perhaps in me – the reason may lie. When your head is held high, And the biggest malady at cure; Perhaps in me – “humanity” is pure. […]
