Peddler Road Flyover by Vinita Agrawal
Pedder Road Flyover It was here underneath the posh flyover with its underbelly bursting open like a crammed carton of sins that I learnt about life. I saw existence morph from penthouses and slick condos to the wall-less homes of ragpickers like a Salvador Dali painting, except for the curation of colors. Grey was the […]
Pay your last respects by Vinaya Kumar Hanumanthappa
And make them feel sad when we are gone, Life is a gift for us between birth and death, So live every moment, your every breath. We were born with a cry, And might end the same I don’t know why? Whatever we know, is the LIFE we spent, So don’t waste it ever, with […]
My rains by Vinko Kalinic
My rains by Vinko Kalinic Shoulder to shoulder, we are pouring like old mates, the rain and I. and it is so, we laugh, like crazy ones – cause sun doesn’t shine. The cold water walks after me, living man walks on a footpath – falls from the sky, returning to the land: I after […]

Missing Person by Vinita Agrawal
Missing Person I don’t remember anything about the day we emptied mother’s ashes in the river. Just the overcast grey sky, dowelled like a Serengeti of gloom somewhere up above. The hospital had trussed her hermetically to prevent chemical bloating, scaffolded her abdomen in particular…too much tumor there, they’d said blandly. So, in the end, […]
Mi ha el by Vinko Kalinić

Legacy by Vinko Kalinić
All loves are just the dust on the road which we are picking and stacking down in some softer part of us, then sometimes after being crushed of wandering and insomnia we stop in the middle of the street, asking ourselves who has left that husky emptiness in the sight who left the blunt echoes […]
Joy of giving by Vinaya Kumar Hanumanthappa
Life is so beautiful, what more should I seek, With families and friends, no better time what I could think, A rain of happiness, what a lovely shower, I love to get drenched without any cover. But not everybody are gifted, this makes me wonder, I start thinking, why did god do such a blunder? […]

Dear Traffic Signal by Vinaya Kumar Hanumanthappa
I see you every day, you are always there, Sunny day or rainy day, you do your job with care, You might be happy, you might be sad, You change colors, green, yellow and red, There was time when I could pass by you in seconds, Now there is too much of traffic, minutes or […]
Confessions of a Software Engineer by Vinaya Kumar Hanumanthappa

Ballad about a stinking flower by Vinko Kalinic
Ballad about a stinking flower by Vinko Kalinic I met this flower many times and every time I touches me with tousled beauty of its colours, and also with a sad, untold story about how people behave and name things. If there’s a crumb of soil, as they tell me – it’s growing everywhere! And […]

Upon a Lady’s Fall Over a Stile, Gotten by Running From Her Love by William Wycherley
My Heart held out, against your Face, and Eyes, But cou’d no more, against your Breech, and Thighs, Which they, both took, and wounded, by Surprize; Who, till then, did (as ’twere,) in Ambush ly, For my poor Life, at least, my Liberty; So secret Enemies, more Mischief do, The less still they, […]
To his Indifferent Mistress by William Wycherley
I. Ah! Dear, proud Charmer, cou’d you prove At once more Cruel, or less Fair, Your Cruelty wou’d speak some Love, In turning Mine to strong Despair; For luke-warm Love, or cold Indifference, Keeps with more Pain my Flame in more Suspence. II. To make me Yours, you still disdain, Yet can’t consent to let […]
The Poor Lover to His Rich Mistress about to Marry His Coxcombly Rival by William Wycherley
He av’n is not gain’d with Wealth, or Bribes, we know, So (Divine Thing!) I nothing bid for you, No Shining Dirt, as my Rich Rivals do; Tho’ Di’monds, Pearl, may purchas’d be with Gold, Your Eyes, Teeth, at a Higher Rate I hold; My Precious, and Inestimable Dear! He who wou’d buy thy Love […]
Sleep and Death by William Wycherley
O Sleep! thou dost thy healing Virtues lend, At once t’instruct our Nature, and befriend. Do’st to our wearied Limbs fresh Strength supply, And giv’st Ideas what ’twill be to die. Brother of Death! In Office how the same! Both lent us to repair our shatter’d Frame; Yet diff’ring here, that Sleep at best can […]
On a Sea Fight, Which the Author was in, Betwixt the English and Dutch by William Wycherley
Pluto himself did tremble in his Hell, Pale Ghosts look’d paler, to hear new Ghosts tell What was in Neptune ‘s Empire done above By Two great Fleets, that for Hell’s Empire strove. Each Side, like Fiends, in Fire and Smoke did fight, And put the Dev’l himself into a Fright; For both dispatch’d to […]
Love and Wine by William Wycherley
In vain I Drunkenness forswore, Because by That made Sick and Blind; Since tho’ I have the Flask giv’n o’er, Love still intoxicates my Mind. If then for either Sottishness, Alike Man’s Sense is in Disguise; No matter which way, sure, it is, By sparkling Wine, or sparkling Eyes. Yet most debauch’d the Lovers shew, […]
In Praise of Laziness by William Wycherley
O God-like State! thou Heav’nly Laziness! Which, in thy Rags, canst thy Professors Bless, Ensure their Innocence, Peace, Ease, or Rest, Ev’n here, with Poverty, to make ’em Blest; Their Faith, and Honour, best dost justifie, Securing their Good Name, and Liberty, From Scandal, Care, Fear, Pain, and Slavery; Blest State on Earth!

Drinking-Song, A. To a Formal, Proud, Sober Coxcomb by William Wycherley
I. Let the Dull, Sober, and the Grave, But fit for drudging, Bus’ness have; Let sitting still, my Hand employ, My busie Tongue, not thoughtless Head; Employment, which wou’d Cares destroy, Not such, by which, more still are bred; II. Let all Ambitious Sots flie high, To make their Steps more slippery, Whilst I, with […]
