Its gonna be sunday by Shailendra Singh
someday I will not find myself obsessed , with the challenges I am blessed, I would not find myself surrounded , with the things that have left me confounded, I will not find myself entangled, to the aspirations which dangled, someday I will cease to say , I will complete this by may, Someday all […]
In her reach by Shailendra Chauhan
It’s day-break It’s hotter under the sun A woman with a bundle of sticks on her head is proceeding towards the town Along side fields The imprints come up of her barefooted walk with a confidence that tomorrow’s bread is in her reach Bread that’s bread only and nothing else No sensation, no frustration, no […]
Human Spirit by Shawn Ervin
Human Spirit by Shawn Ervin I find myself in a time of trouble, I’m left alone to face the scoundrels, I feel the world fighting me with rage. Tearing me down, bringing me to rubble, Taking more, never feeling full, They keep me trapped in my cage. I’m feeble and no longer have the power, […]
Emotions in exile by Shailendra Chauhan
The highest peak Kanchanjungha looks from India silver-white, radiant Snow-covered Himalaya wakes up with sunrise turns gigantic One morning I saw the dawn from Tiger Hills Severe waiting The recurrence of rays intermittently The Sun shrouded in misty clouds appears all of a sudden radiates all-over the valley Tall trees Vast greenery A Tibetan Refugee […]

Brother by Shashini Fernanadez
Fighting for no reasons, Making me cry for nothing. For all the fights we fought, And all the tears I shed. Everything you mean to me, You could never know, In all the ways you’ve changed my life, I could never show. The way you take care of me, You are my shinning star, And […]
At The Gate Of A Hospital by Shahida Latif
At The Gate Of A Hospital by Shahida Latif Lo! Who is being down loaded, From the ambulance, Covered with the bed sheet, All spotted with blood, And now tossing for life? Her swollen belly portends, That it contains a pre-born babe. Oh! They tell she has been shot, By her husband: the crown of […]
Apathy by Shailendra Chauhan

A Mesh by Shahida Latif

Long For This World by Sophie Hannah
Long For This World by Sophie Hannah I settle for less than snow, try to go gracefully like seasons go which will regain their ground – ditch, hill and field; when a new year comes round. Now I know everything: how winter leaves without resenting spring, lives in a safe time frame, gives up so […]

Life Brings Me to this Journey. by Stephen Sweitzer
Life Brings Me to this Journey. by Stephen Sweitzer I fear of my soulless fears,Hardly known of my ignorant peers, I constantly consume this pain,Leading me to this dark, evil lane, I lean on man’s understanding,Giving me Satan’s branding, I, instead, need to trust my Alpha, Calling out for my Almighty Abba, However, my sinful chains […]

If It Were Beginning by Sriparna Bandyopadhyay
If it were a beginning I couldn’t imagine anything more beautiful; But it came to be my illusion, And no one was more ashamed than me. The approach was delicate with steps silent. But the withdrawal happened to be so delicate – That left me perplexed, whether ‘it’ was Really an approach! And to my […]
Hypatia by Stanley Wilkin
They attacked her in mid exploration Cutting away her golden thoughts As they cut away her flesh, destroying A mind that they couldn’t destroy in Debate, a sparkling old woman Whose thoughts were spun from steel. The screaming mob desecrated her tiny form Dragging it into the dust, through the rubbish And shit. Tearing off […]
Homosexuality by Spencer Reece
After my mother and father fight, my father takes my hand and we walk down to the Mississippi where he smokes Camel cigarettes. He flicks his ashes away from me. He rarely says my name. All day on TV, I watch monks in Saigon douse themselves in gasoline and light their saffron robes on fire. […]

High school crush……lonesome awaits by Stephen Allen
Trap in dawn, Night honking its horn. Walking on the north street I stare at my high school crush, I wonder if she knows how much She makes me blush. Coldness creeping underneath my sleeve, If she should say hi my heart would leap. My glances touching her skin like the coldness of the night, […]

Everything He Did, He Did In Jest by stanley wilkin
In this contorted frame, badger-like scurrying, Scrabbling for prey, in the midst of fratricidal disputes- The dead lingering like ruptured sores- The dead dripping like candy from Christmas trees, Our lives meandering, our thoughts remain. In this dry season drunken men walk like dragons Scales roaring with white flame: Fangs like industrial weapons Formed into […]
Entropy by Sriparna Bandyopadhyay
A nature full of savageness, A gambling world in force The Creation is a chaos- Mare Cacophonous discourse. I value myself the most; Not that, I’m proud. But there are so many ‘I’s Amorphous in the Crowd. Your pain is yours Only you are there to feel Your cry for life Hardly makes a deal. […]

Crazy Insane by Stephen Sweitzer
Crazy Insane by Stephen Sweitzer Every hour, I go insane,Diving into the greatest pain, Only they can understand,Giving me their helping hands, Normal people use their brooms,Sweeping us into lonely rooms, Not until they lick our blood, Will they see our filthy mud, Which runs through our rotten brains, Forever and ever, we are insane. ————— […]

By Garpal Stream by Stanley Wilkin
By Garpal stream the young men came Decades before the flood On Garpal field they started the game Quenching the grass with blood. Down by the hill, near the copse, they lie, The first to score was the first to die. Every year the young men came Where the roses and dandelions bud Eager to […]

Beautiful Moroccan by Stanley Wilkin
Dressed in black, dark eyes amused She strolls into a room With the specialised tread Of a femme fatale, Tossing her streaming hair in arrogant joy.

Adaptation by Sriparna Bandyopadhyay

A Kind of Life by Stanley Wilkin
Crystallising thin white light Decked with ancient portraits, The air heavy with dust. Beneath the glittering floorboards Rodents scurried, smelling out crumbs. This was where The old man walked at the very end Of his very long life, grappling With pitiless unforgiving memories. In this garish, gargoyle haunted house Amidst the enduring pine trees he […]
A Gemini’s Hurt by Stephen Allen
Winged love lost its wings, striding In another disguise which frowns At he which clod in a mourning glow, A woe as never shined so bright insight. Killed by his own fear In a dream that shed distilled tears. In a crystal drop Joy flat lined on his cheeks, But he hugged that smile in […]
A Dogs Love Is a Never Ending Game by Stacey Chillemi
