Breath fresh air.

Take care.. 
How? 
Children be happy.

I love you. 
How? 
Free ways. 
Not at all free. 
Toll free. 
Not at all. 
Free world.

Oh yes. How? 
Is this a poem? 
How?

How How?  
Because 
nothing is affirmative 
in our hands. 


HUMAN THOUGHTS BY ALYCIA MAE



What is it like to be TRULY beautiful?
The answer is just like the answer to the question of "why are we here?" We don't know. Beauty isn't something that satisfies the eye of the beholder. Like perfection, we strive for beauty when we all know its a horizon that cannot be reached. Models are a prime example of beauty that is FAKE. The pictures we see on facebook are there to make us feel ashamed of our bodies and worthless. True beauty comes from within. Its all a mental issue. When we think of mental issues, we automatically assume we're CRAZY and that's not the case. We all have insecurities, but does that make us crazy? Nope. To acquire true beauty and comfort in your own skin, we must accept our flaws. Simple right




MUSIC BY  ZONKE  

              music brings joy to all of our hearts.
Its one of those emotional Marta
     Sounds of melodies that  we truly adore  
     brings us pure pleasure
                       as our spirits do soar
   Mystic that touches us
     we cant help but smile
  we free to choose  genre or style  
            music dearly enlightens our days
      makes us happy in so many ways



FASHION DESIGNER BY STEVE

Every clothes loving girl,
Wants to be,
A fashion designer,
Of the highest quality.

To design for the rich,
Design for the poor,
Design for the famous,
Then design even more.

Design a new pair of jeans,
A nightgown or two,
Design a dress for me,
And then a top for you.

Think up the latest fad,
Make a magazine as well,
See your ideas on the catwalk,
Before they go to shops, to sell em!



BETRAYED BY NANNETE

Just when you think you know someone
is when you find out you didn't really
know them at all.That's what happened
when I trusted my best friend with my
husband.I came home one day from work
and she was on my telephone talking to
my husband long distance.I heard her 
say to him that she enjoyed what they
did last week,the girl's a freak.
She told him it felt good when he was
coming from behind.I was surprised to
find out it was video taped which she
did rewind.Everyone on my block knows
she had an affair with my husband.
I just don't understand why I let my
friend around my husband,but never
again will this ever happen.



FOREVER CONNECTED BY JENNIFER LIN SARGENT


Every moment we spent together
Has touched our lives, our souls forever
The things that we shared and learned
Is permanent growth that we've earned.

The person that I have grown into today
Did not get there by chance, no way
I am who I am partly because of you
And you are YOU because of me, too

The changes I see
and what I have learned about me
are a response to how we affected our lives
and what we discover in each others eyes.

It is uncertain if we have to part or one day live together 
Either way, we have touched our lives forever!
No matter what the future will show
No matter what we are told.

We are connected on such a deep levels
That no one can remove that, not even the devil.
Our feelings might be different a year from now
But you are part of me forever somehow

A part of me will always be you 
and a part of you will always be me. 
no matter what happens ,that much is certain 
our souls are one until life closes the curtain.

I will love your forever
For worse or for better

You are tattooed in my heart 
And nothing can tear our souls apart.

I will never forget you
For my love is honest and true  




EVOLUTION OF A  HUSBAND BY NIEL GRIFFITHS 


I am a poet... 
I write things that make you think about things 
and after contemplation you realize life is about love 
and all the joy it brings. 
my life is now about me. 
so in turn this means you. 
cause being a real husband is more than a ring 
and meaningless words I do. 
it's about giving you what I can, 
and obtaining the things I can't. 
Being your every-thing 
is so much more than just being your man. 
its being able to hold my tongue, 
when all you need is my ear. 
its being a million miles away from you 
simultaneously being here. 
it means altering a few things, 
to make the relationship work. 
it means changing the way I do certain things 
cause I'm tired of seeing you hurt. 
it means taking full responsibility, 
when I want to scape the goat. 
true love means double checking myself 
those times when you pull my coat. 
Yes... I am a poet. 
but first and foremost I'm your man. 
and sometimes things are so important in life 
that they just don't have to rhyme... 



I SORE YOU BY BRITISH GERALD 

I saw you  
but you didnt see me 
I was sitting in the tree 
legs over the branch 
leaves whistling to me 
birds singing to me that morning 
his car drove up , I woke up 
the doors slammed shut , I was quiet 
I listen to him say he loves you and you are his heart 
he said that he wanted to marry you and start a family 
I stayed quiet , your faithful boyfriend in a tree 
the leaves kept whistling to me  
the birds were still singing to me  
then I jumped down from that tree 
i startled you both and it was funny to see  
then I looked my girlfriend and you in the eyes and said  
I wish you two a great marriage and I was free  
                        easily  




A SECRET


A dark lingering secret,  
Kept from the world by a hidden soul. 
Deep and dark the secret lies 
In a heart of a woman that struggles. 
Though her past unknown, and secrecy 
her friend. 
She manages to keep this secret within 

Its killing her; will she tell this tale or 
will she sit there and carry it with her till 
Death. 
As she sits in despair, will she allow this secret 
To be her end or will she tell us 
Like a good friend 
Then suddenly she gasped and tear drops fell  

It was I!, It was I, who watched my husband die 
Fed up of the constant abuse 
I put my knife to good use 
And i slowly watched him move on on 
Beyond 

I reflect at a mark woman, 
Her days of bravado are behind 
But now a grave; a survivor 
The secret is no more! 
But is shared 
Throughout the known world



WISHES BY KATHERINE GREEN 

One was happy, 
     Spreading joy with love. 
           One was loved, 
                Was reminded everyday. 
                       One had everything, 
                              Nothing was at miss. 
                          One was smiling. 
                   Constantly shining bright. 
            One was laughing , 
      Everyone around joined. 
   One was dreaming, 
      Everything was prefect.  
          One was smart, 
              G.P.A. read 4.0 
                  One was attractive, 
                Crystal clear skin. 
             One was popular, 
          Others admired that one. 
        One was respected, 
     Never hassled one bit. 
        One was wishing, 
           That just for,  
              One day… 
              This would  
                  All... 
                 Be true. 



HOW DARE I BY BETHAL



I was born with my own ability to think.  
How dangerous,  
holding it to grow inside. 
Letting it wash upon my every penetration to life. 
I never let the whys dry. 
I let my questions scare me into rooms off limits and drifting, 
because I feared everything infront of me as I breathed.  
Yet it glowed into my eyes like a magnet, 
I deeply needed to know why the darkness of the figures had to hide. 
Every second of bound living, scared me, waited for unroping death.  
I was only three and I knew it then, 
staring down the hall upon the entire world at my feet. 
Forming my tiny short outlook,  
setting a million baby steps out to the great reach. 
This place I too far comprehended, in its terrible definitions. 
Blinding my face to the ceiling, 
over the bulbs tap.  
I still hold today. 
The pulsating pierce stinging of every bodies throb, 
and I never uttered it out loud to anyone.  
That position is a bad one,  
walking myself into terms, with a red target on your back. 
It's better to act like you've got nothing too shocking on your mind, 
by the great minds that catagorize how we think, to define. 
How dare I show these cracks, 
a heart cemented under a boot, squooshed splat.  
F*ck that. 
Superiourity telling me, I have not that option to embrace.  
There words looping in repetition everyday. 
Into place,  
but this thinking is not my way. 
So why do I take it? 
I taste nothing made whole in that, 
spreading judgement, 
sprinkled by a cherry quick stamp. 
Dare I think too far along,  
slamming an answer to the problem. 
Done.  
but the truth is the problem wasn't even seen. 
You have to live with if from all soaking angles before you take a moment to open your mouth, 
to move in and out, erringly I breathe. 
How dare I say what creeps into my soul, 
and walks a darling cute shake to my certified birth. 
Can I turn from the system, a misguided worth, tiptoeing off the hand. 
Getting up again, to the lies inside and outside my confuzed securities. 
Being forced to eat. 
Until I'm used to the process, to be able to do it myself, automatically. 
Kissed with a goodbye, 
while I feed back upon the world,  
what I was fed everyday. 
The cycle raping the better innocent to wage. 
I look to my wrist, 
yet I don't have this was born with my own ability to think.  
How dangerous,

Letting it wash upon my every penetration to life.

The cycle raping the better innocent to wage. 
I look to my wrist, 
yet I don't have the time,  
but I kept waiting for the real world to start ticking away the lies. 
As I let mine fall openly to all I share.  
When people would grow, a little, to a lot, with it's aware pounding against their ribs. 
And it's getting on, 
these days.  
Looking around themselves, feeling so much, unsaid going on. 
Everything seeps into everything else, 
I f*cking love this unblocking new paradise of hell.  
Yet I regret saying this already, 
I am so sweet, 
but the world finds me more suiting to coldly lick my tears and suck me. 
Dry, 
and I don't mind sometimes. 
I am skin and bones, and I don't complain with my mouth, 
so I just write. 
I sit with my darkness and stare at my light, 
I never looked up to anyone. 
I illuminate my own night. 
As I just listen to my little love, shaking it's knife inside. 
The center of my ribs, 
and its never let me down. 
I smile the simultaneous ecstasy of excruciating pain, 
opening every door of rapture. 
I hope forever, I feel this way. 




FALLEN BY SEAN BANKER


A step away, to what distance do I strive 
Farewell beloved ones, for I have never lied 
My words I've spoken...erased, yet promise be made 
Forgotten memories, simplistic say, my life to fade 

Further thoughts, led by a questionable plause 
Arrogance will stay alone for a fool to cause 
Such perception that one would find true 
I'm sorry, perhaps I've spoken words I never knew 

A future...it is bleak; we can only go so far, then none 
To tears, a quick ending, to life, it's already done. 
I must strive for valour, I must breathe the day 
Waves always crash the shore...never the same way 

To ignore brings pity to self, listen to the call 
For my life to move on, I must not fall   


MY DAY TO PRAISE BY ANOFF AKONNOR


a new day; 
my God, it is morning again! 
And my lungs are being filled 
as though my body knew no pain. 
I could feel the burden of the day 
that i slept away, no more. 
When I cried yesterday, 
in my sleep, I prayed, 
and He comforted my heart; 
He said, He has taken my shame away, 
He said, He would never pool away. 
So when my lovers take turns in disappointments, 
He embraces and we spend the time in His apartment, 
the one David said was filled with joy and fulfilment. 
So maybe this time, today, 
I’ll call by His place, 
not to ask for His face again 
nor to crave His unending presence, 
nor to request for gifts; 
this is my day of praise 
towards the only real friend of grace, 
my Maker, in heaven above. 



POLAR BEAR BY DAN BROWN 

A polar bear cut adrift, sat upon this icy rift
Back and forth the bear dose pace
Cannot shake the expression from her face
All lost at sea, not content, No means of escape she can invent

All she has is the ice to keep her hopes, her hopes alive
Her thirst is quenched that is good, but she’s not getting all she should
She can’t jump off into the sea, she has cubs, she has three
So she sits upon the ice, day by,day by day by day.
The sun sets deep into the artic void, Hunger pangs growing! hard to avoid
She settles down for another night and wonders what the next day might?

As day breaks golden sun beams wash across the floe
The warming light hits her fur, the warmth of the light



I WONT CHANGES BY CHARLOTTE A


I won't listen anymore 
Your lies won't be heard 
I'll lock you up, destroy the key 
Won't let you speak another word 

I'm done with your madness 
I'm sick of your game 
No longer want to be the monster 
That because of you I became 

This time I'll live for me 
I'll show what I can do 
I won't fall for your tricks again 
Now I know that your words are untrue 

I'll finally spread my wings 
And fly away from this place 
This time you won't stop me 
You can no longer hold me in your cage



SITTING IN UNUSED LIGIRIE BY SKYE CLINE 

Sitting here alone, 
in lingerie never used. 
His feelings were made known, 
Heart forever abused. 

I gave all that I had, 
Taken by death, sorely missed. 
Made him forever mad, 
Never again to be kissed. 

Our love shattered, 
Just like a broken glass. 
Do I still matter? 
Or am I just a piece of *ss? 

Alone and wanting, 
With nobody to love. 
I now find life very daunting, 
There are no doves. 

Sitting here depressed, 
in lingerie unused. 
With Nobody to be Impressed, 
Heart still feeling abused. 
  


THE REGIME OF CONTEMPLATION BY RICHARD STEPHAN


There is infinitely more than the things that meet the eye
In addition, so much more than the sounds you hear
The sweet and sour taste in your mouth, smell in your nose
The touch, the feeling of your hands and emotions.

Like a virus, all you need is one cell to replicate
The AIDS of your nucleotide is mitochondriac momentum
Noone knows what it takes to stop suicidal DNA
You can only watch it work, see it's effects on the genome.

It's a rhythm and beat of the acid which floats in space
On planet Earth, it looks you in the eye and laughs
Until the Truth comes out of the messy cosmic soup
You think that a loving creator has the back of the group.

But there is nothing, no savior, no personal deity in sight
A chimera all in the mind which doesn't matter at all
Your mother, father, sister and brother are atomic clay
An accidental conglomeration of time and space dust pall.



NO MORE BY M SMITH 

My mind can’t conceive 
Heavens beauty that awaits 
I can only sleep and dream 
Until passing through the gates 
  
  
My heart will burst with joy 
Pausing, before going in 
I’ll lay my burdens down 
Never to carry them again 
  
  
In Heaven there’s something else 
Something precious we’ll adore 
God’s mercy made Heaven to be 
The land of forever no mores 
  
There’ll be no more heartache 
No more pain, not one tear 
Burdens carried on earth 
Will be no more carried here 
  
No more sorrow, no more hurt 
No more death, nothing to fear 
No more darkness, no more night 
Jesus the light, bright and clear 
  
No more sickness, no more aches 
No more worries to pace the floor 
God has prepared for us a place 
A land of forever no more 



GROWING UP BY M SMITH 


Not looking for sympathy 
Not writing for attention 
Just continuing to heal 
With much apprehension 
  
Growing up with a parent 
Addicted to a bottle 
Was a road to disaster 
With a wide open throttle 
  
To drinking add abuse 
Mental illness and neglect 
Collectively molded by 
A dysfunction architect 
  
Raised with not just one 
In my family it was all 
Afraid in my own home 
Always afraid I recall 
  
  
The boy inside me left 
My emotions left too 
The beatings and neglect 
I buried out of view 
  
  
So much damage was done 
I could never even explain 
All the buried past emotions 
Still there, they all remain 
  
  
Even though I’ve shared 
All that happened to me 
Today my family thinks 
Behind me, it should all be 
  
If it was just the alcohol 
Or the physical abuse 
Behind me it might be 
Maybe more healing produce 
  
I don’t have the answer 
No timetable I can share 
Trying to heal and move on 
Still  in need of much prayer 
  


QUICK TO QUIT BY BRUNDABAN P


Quick to quit smoking,
Quick to quit drinking.
Quick to quit the anger,
Quick to quit a stranger.
Quick to quit attachment,
Quick to quit depedant.
Quick to quit a war place,
Quick to quit an arm race.
Quick to quit devil desire,
Quick to quit flood water.
Quick to quit quake spot,
Quick to quit a volcan hot.
Quick to quit in a cyclone,
Quick to quit in an alarm.
Quick to quit bad company,
Quick to quit the worldly sin.
Quick to quit place of bomb,
Quick to quit gamble game.
Quick to quit mensrea mind,
Quick to quit polluted wind.



A POEM IS BORN BY EP HARIDASAN 


A fact that cannot be disguised, 
a fact that cannot be camouflaged, 
A fact that cannot be hidden, 
That , when i sit alone , engrossed, 
There comes a flood of ideas and fancies, 
Thronging up on me endlessly, 
I try to stream line these fantacies, 
Systematise these ideas, and give, 
An order and arrangement to its flow, 
To draw it in a style picturesque, 
With proper similes and metaphors. 
In the gamut of such spontaneous emotions, 
I struggle to find words appropriate, 
To put my feelings in to black and white, 
And finally, it comes out in a format, 
A couplet is made , a poem is born. 



ALONE IN THE DARKNESS BY  ANGEL AA


Alone in the darkness 
i fake a smile 
i fake a laugh 
inside im crying 
but tears never come 
it hurts to laugh 
it hurts to try 
i just want to lay here 
and die 
the dark is lonely 
it fills my world 
as i suffocate inside 
no one hears my cry 
it continues in the light 
it stays with the day 
where ever there is light 
there is a dark corner 
to hide behind 



MEATS AND CHEESES BY WILLIAM J WILLIAMSON 


Few years ago 
I smashed two flies 
engaged in aerial coitus. 
Today, I poked their 
corpse 
Fell to the floor, 
leaving a crust of 
Love Gunk 
Mixed innards, crushed 
and united gonads. 
One true love, for 
all time, the only 
evidence of which 
is smeared on my 
ceiling. 

My momma was making 
me a sandwich, 
n' she heard a loud 
spkat. 
A mouse, caught 
in the trap by 
his tail. 
Tossed it in the 
street, let the 
cats rip 'im up. 
That was a d*mn 
good sandwich 

Who held the chisel 
and carved the cliffs? 
Wrong metaphor. 
Rocks, 
rolling droplets 
of water 
and time. 
The first 
Ménage à trois 



"EYE" SEE YOU BY FERNANDO GAUTIER 


We know when your sleeping, 
we know when your awake, 
we know when your lounging, 
or putting cookies in the oven to bake, 
we know your favorite movies or shows you like to watch, 
the food you like to eat, and all you do, 
we tell you when to cross, its all for your safety, 
dare not to comply, the fines are really hefty, 
we are your security, so dont you worry, 
just stay in our view, and thats the end of the story. 
  









THE WAY I WISH  BY ALAN GREEN 


ozone friendly 
pollution free 
the way i wish 
the world could be 
fresh clean rivers 
deep blue seas 
life infested meadows 
wise old trees 
elephant saved 
the whale swims free 
the way i wish 
the world could be 










HEARTLESS SNOW FALL BY ALEX N WANDERLAND

I loved you when the snow fell. White diamonds sparkling on black velvet. The birth of a New Year proved to bring new hopes and dreams. True it was you, or maybe it was the thought of you; a future. Us. Fading to dust. The warmth once provided was no longer to shield me from the frost. Like a centerpiece in a snow globe, I stood still as things began to shake and swirl. Suspended beyond comprehension. Helpless to fight for affection. The burn of lust continuously blazed through your heart and I mistakenly tried to change the tricks of an old dog. At the dawn of Spring, I listened to the birds sing and I knew it was the melody that would empower me to leave. While I never wanted to forget the memories of our snow fall, I knew it was time to allow the flowers of my heart to flourish. Maybe I’ll suffer in a unexpected drought, drown in heavy downpour, but after the season of your love changed so I’m forced to whither the storms you created to find adore once more in attempt to feel whole.









MY BEST BUDY BY ASHINI


i wish my dreams to come alive 
in which you too come alive 
from the land of unknown 
from where people don't return who are gone. 
you come to me every night 
and in day don't go out of my sight. 
you lie in my lap 
take a short nap. 
with my fingers i brush you hair 
and you promise to take my care. 
you hold my hand 
and together we stand. 
but my sleep then breaks 
and you are gone again. 
i wait for the next night 
to dream of you 
and wait for you to come alive. 



FEELINGS BY M. SMITH

A turbulent river
Flows strong and wide
Its menacing rapids
They never subside

Rising and falling
Changing direction
Stirring and turning
For me; a reflection

My feelings inside
My emotional state
Are like this river
Rarely still or sedate


A calm still pool
Is not calm for long
Flowing to the river
Into the rapids strong

My emotional life
Is this river wide
Never consistent
Yet hidden inside

My feelings run deep
I just can’t release
A river of rapids
Is life with no peace






VUNERABLE BY ALEXADRA HISCOK

Taking advantage of the vunerable
Just because they're old or disabled
You think they're just gonna break down and fall
Your thoughts unbalanced and cruel

You try to rob
they hit you with their handbag
You try to put them down
But they just turn the reggae up loud
Never stereotype vunerability
You are unaware of what lies beneath



THE VESSEL BY WISHU SINDHU

Sailing on a vessel
Building it as it goes
Assailing torrents to wrestle
It has suffered many blows
Promise of big adventures
Chancing few misadventures
My vessel moving on
No place it halts upon
I keep working on perfection
Figuring out best direction
Refining every small detail
Hammering every single nail

As I looked out today
It was the end of day
Night is not too far away
I've traveled a long long way
Journey nearing its end
No, I would not pretend
That I experienced it to the most
Watching the finish line ahead on coast
I wish I'd taken the hassle to look and experience more
But instead I kept busy with vessel, wanting a perfect score



TABLES TURNED BY JANAE STEWART


Every day at 6 get up in the morning making a good breakfast to eat, 
Made sure when children went to school they were tidy and neat. 
No wrinkle shirt, skirts, dresses or jeans to wear, 
Made sure a comb or brush to the hair. 
 She supported her grandchildren in every single way, 
She watched them when they did a play. 
Wow!!! That little boy did great in a play, 
He made my day. 
I need to meet him. 
Then the little boy took off his brim. 
Found out the little boy wasn’t a he. 
The little boy was a she. 
This made you think and think, 
She was tickled pink. 
She gave a great big hug. 
It was her granddaughter that she gave a great big tug. 
As a grandmother you never fell. 
When we were sick made sure you took care of us until well, 
Tables turned see you in hospital bed, 
Family members were all above your head. 
3 years ago 5 in the morning phone call saying you were dead. 
Boys II Men song Mama plays in my head,

A TALE OF MY SOUL MATE BY JOHN GRASER
j
I wont back down...
This lost soul wore the gold out the crown...
Dirt and sh*t lingers about...
This lost soul wandered around and around...
You're the black magic I write about...
You can say I love you without a sound...
Tattooed my pain away...
Head up no more looking down...
Hold close loves eternal ways...
Hope for tomorrow but lets live for today...
Shhhh, can still feel the words I say...
You've embraced me by your grace...
When I whisper to you please don't look away...
Because it's me, your soul mate








HOPE BY JEREMY GILLEY

I see the spark igniting
Behind your eyes of brown
The haze of your doubt lifting
I won’t let you down
You’ve been here before you think
Time and time again
What makes this time different?
How does the story end?
An urge you just can’t shake
Warmth burning slightly hotter than before
Can’t cut him out anyway
He’s wrapped around your core
Seasons change like waves and tides
Merry-Go-Rounds and carnival rides
A lifetime of memories, pages and wonders
Schemes, plots forgettable blunders
Embrace the one for whom your intended
Time after time all can be mended







TEARS BY GIAN GEYSER

Not all of us has never shed a tear. Infact ,all of us has shed a tear. If its from happiness ,depression ,death ,sadness, anger or just plain laughter ,we ALL have shed a tear before. What emotion do you know best? Anger? Sadness? Jealousy? Happiness? It doesn't matter what emotion you feel ,you will get a tear from every emotion you can think of. Have you ever tasted a tear drop? Tastes salty doesn't it? Well just know that no tear drop has bitterness. No bitterness means hope and hope means a better life. Tears tastes salty because our body doesn't like tears. Its like the ocean's water ,you cannot drink it and if you drink too much you get sick. Same with tears. If you have sadness tears running over your cheeks ,then it leads to depression. Depression leads to sickness and sickness leads to death ,in other words ,suicide. Don't let any sad tears make you think that you have a hard life. Many of us have felt so depressed that you just tell yourself you want to die. No! Don't ever think about that! One bad day or week can't bring you down! If it happens again then stuff it! It happens for a reason! To make you happy in life and to let you learn from your mistakes. Some uses a blade to "make them feel better". Well if you want to leave scars on your body and tell everyone your story ,they will only remember it for 5 minutes. Cutting yourself only makes it worse. You only just want attention. You want somebody to realise your pain inside and out. Come on! Do you really want to ruin your body with scars you created? Do you want to be known as "Emo?" Its known that laughter is the best medicine for the body. Its also known that many people fake a smile and hide their sadness and pain. The more you hide your tough feelings ,the worse its going to get ,right? Never hide any feelings in yourself! You're only making it worse. In time you have anger instead of sadness! Like a ticking bomb you explode in somebody's face ,screaming! Do you want that? No? Then don't hide your feelings! If you ever feel lost ,please know that there is a road that's going to lead you to paradise! Know that this road will lead you to something new ,but hey ,who knows ,maybe you'll hear your own wedding bells as you walk along this new road. Please don't let any salty tear bring you down. There is a good life for you and there is hope! Never stop smiling. Never stop loving and never give up on yourself!







THE KNIGHT BY LA OMA

Scorching of wind suffers him much,
Amidst the roaring storm and thunder,
With no blankets,water not much;
Where foxes and wolves have no hunter.
Being no friend,being no shelter,
There,the knight with no heart shattered,
Is the place,where he takes breath;
The cruel freeze hands of death.
The invisible terror of the night,
The night silenced with fearful blight,
The days with trails with much terrors;
No place for others with fear of horror.
No hint,no clue,no arrow,
The place covered with much sorrows.







A PEACH SPECTRUM OF... BY JORDAN SIMPS

mall snow topped hills on the skin of him,
so young, pure, but lost..
His helicopter on a mission across the pacific,
in search of an island.
As small as that speckle of being you focus on during landing,
in the middle of a murky amaurosis affect,
result in destruction only seen by generations of one.
Certainly, he must have inspirations,
if that theory is the fermentation of a pirate.
He looks in the mirror and says,
"You are you."
An obvious intention,
to exploit his poetry as a liar,
Does a lie told only at the center count as a true liar?
Or is what he beholds a three-headed, triclops, dragon.
It's sad how colors of different tones of gray,
barricade the off-coming rainbow,
that feeds surrounding life.
So what if he has a premonition,
of the majestic whale,
that sinks his aircraft in the act to breath.
Or the emptiness that motivates his propellers,
to keep constant.
This doesn't change,
like a Chameleon,
a universal spirit throughout space.
But in all honesty,
maintains the nectar that gives off the aroma,
attracting the bees in his community.










 

 


DON'T FORGET BY CESAR FRANCO

Little girl why do you find yourself lost,your water droplets have turn into frost 
You had your heart broken so many times,more then what the sun shines 
Isloating yourself become a mess,saying that u aint blessed 
Telling this broken reflection u aint perfect,just because u never had a parents afection 
Walking alone to school,with people in the back telling u are a fool
Remeber the time u walked inside of churchand felt loved leeting ur wings take u high above 
The time u ignored these rude remarks,Letting the holy spirit into ur heart 
Dreaming this beautiful white place,seeing a innocent face 
Giving you this hug and kiss,telling u that your heart is fixed







FROM AN ACORN LOVE GROW'S BY JANE LORNA

From a tiny Acorn, a huge oak tree grows
From a small spark in my heart true love grows
As a simple stream flows into a river then out to sea
My love for you will go on for an eternity

A small seed may be planted yet a sunflower will grow
You planted your seed of love in my heart
Now I feel I might explode

Your love fed my heart and made it feel whole
As the sun feeds the plants so they to can grow
The plants feed the animals as your love feeds me
And your love for me will set my heart free

I tried hard to resist
The temptation of your thin red lips
I tried hard to deny
That dangerous look in your eye

Now we are together like the sun, moon and sky
As your love pulled me in, it was hard to deny
Now I feel victorious like that sunflower rising up to the sun
And our love is as deep as the rivers that run







BID BY SIDDHARTH SINGH

The blanket of the night
Could not be removed
From a yearning eye
Anxiously searching a glint of the light
When it’s bleary
By my intoxication of the dark
That I deeply reject but it’s hard
When it’s the intrinsic part of my life
Had no aid from above
Nor an angel nor a God’s disguise
To prevent my fall
In the world of arcane babel
Brutally abraded my metal till it breaks
And hanged me by its source
Intriguing enough to immerse in
And act by whatever it begets
When it gives a quick relief
That binds your time with the sky
And you fly for a while
To alight deeper in a sludge
But you love this way of life
When everyone will die
With their endeavours in the dust
Burned ideals and self-control
Buds of honour that none would hold
Scattered as tiny specks of the bright
Will only increase the duration of the light
Fortifying prospects of a hopeful life
That I lack
In the guise of the unsettling voices
I support its source
As a catalyst that elongates its roots
And die as one of the voices
Is something I can neither deny nor reject
When I am inept to transcend this discerning mind
But for the apt of subtlety
And for this squirming fact
I could at least once try







TAKE BY BIANCA E

If I could capture TIME Make it stand still for a moment I would stop the chime of the largest bell for an instant TIME just hanging there on a thin silver thread floating in the air waiting for the soft sinister tread one day like a thousand years TIME bottled instantly standing still like frozen tears, but it awaits DESTINY a thousand years like one day TIME cut loose All your memories washed away Is it TIME you choose? 













 
SOLDIER BY JASPER D

I am armed with my arms and mind,
Against my soul's shield, troubles grind,
My pen's lead is what loads my guns,
Shooting truth into derailed sons.

I fight evil with my life's knife,
And I have become one with the strife.
So I stand tall against darkness,
With its pale shadow the starkest.

I am deaf to sounds of retreat,
And my soul won't accept defeat.
If I fall, then the war is won,
For through it all, I did not run.

Iambic Tetrameter



THE GREATEST TRAGEDY BY SYED

Since the first encounter of your beauty, I loved you like a virgin star. Do you remember it how far? Happy we were to start, this new life in our own art, The endless spells we caste on each other And we promised to be together. Now how sad is this night, From love to hate and now fight, Do you still remember the river? Where we first met and started to shiver?
How can I touch you and where I? When you sleeping breasts refused to seduce me, When I tried to kiss you? Your dry lips tried to kill me.                        How am I supposed to love you now? When your hips started to slip away from me, When I am trying to hold you now? Your body started to fold. You said you were a virgin But you already had a husband.



THE GIRL BY REDEEMED HEISCOMING

 responded,
 "I’m a
 teenager, I
 was only 15
 when I died, and came to this place.
 "
 "But why are you here? What
 brought
 you here? " I asked. She said, "I
 thought I had a lifetime ahead of me,
 because I was very young. People
 always talked to me about Christ
 and
 salvation, but I always said that
 Evangelical Christians were crazy, I
 always rejected the Holy Word. I did
 not want to accept the Lord. Every
 time
 they spoke to me, I just laughed and
 mocked them. Now I see that I
 made
 the worst mistake of my life. Look at
 me, I’m here burning in flames. I
 died
 in a car accident and now I regret it
 so
 much. I’ve taken so many paths
 through this place searching for a
 way
 out, and when I find it, I cannot
 leave
 because the demons that torment
 me
 approach me saying, ‘ You cannot
 leave
 this place, you’re here for eternity.’ I
 don’t want to be here, oh please
 help
 me, help me! " I said,
 "I can’t do anything for you, I wish I
 could help all these people."
 The Lord said, "There is no
 opportunity
 for those who are here, but only for
 those on Earth. " The girl said,
 "Oh please go tell people, and even
 my
 family not to come to this place. Go
 talk to the youth who still have an
 opportunity to seek for Christ, tell
 them
 to turn away from sin. Back on
 Earth, I
 was living a dreadful life, a life full of
 sin, I was very proud, I enjoyed
 going
 to party after party, I never obeyed
 my
 parents, I had always been
 rebellious.
 Now I regret it so much, and want
 them to forgive me, I want to get out
 of
 here, tell everyone on Earth not to
 come here, not to come, please. Tell
 them to obey their parents, to
 accept
 Christ, because He truly saves, He
 truly saves, the devil deceived me,
 now I know I can’t ever leave this
 place, how I regret it. "
 She cried and extended out her
 hands,
 I wanted to help her but when I
 reached out my hand, she began to
 shout and was pulled back into the
 flames. I cried out, "Lord, how
 terrible
 is to be in this place" He responded,
 "
 Yes Daughter, remember this, go
 back
 to Earth and obey My order, so
 mankind can believe that Hell is real
 and eternal, because there are still
 many who do not believe in Hell yet,
 there are many who scoff and say
 that
 Hell is a fable. "
 Days before my first
 experience in Hell the
 Lord gave me a vision
 and said, "Look, this
 person went to hell. " I
 am talking of the
 famous man known as MJ ( Michael
 Jackson), he's also know for white
 glove. He was in Hell for the reason
 I
 stated on my previous video. While I
 was recording that video, the Lord
 told
 me, " Talk about him. " That’s why I
 am
 telling you about him being in Hell’s
 flames.
 While approaching that place of
 flames,
 I noticed many demons in a circle,
 and
 within that circle there was
 somebody
 being tormented. He extended his
 burning hands and was yelling,
 "Help!
 Help! " I could understand the
 language
 he was speaking.
 I wanted to help him so badly, and I
 could see how the demons would
 raise
 him up and force him to dance and
 sing as he did on Earth.
 [CLIP ]
 The demons mocked him and threw
 him into the flames. They would
 pick
 him up and whip him. He screamed
 in
 terrible pain. Oh, how horribly he
 was
 being tormented.
 It broke my heart to see this and I
 said, "Lord, please do something,
 oh!
 Lord help him." As I extended my
 hand
 to help him, my hand suddenly burst
 into flames, and filled with worms. I
 said, "Lord Look! What's
 happening?"
 Then demons began to laugh and
 mock
 me, saying
 "You’re going to stay in this place. "
 I then noticed I could not see or feel
 the Lord next to me, it seemed I was
 alone. I cried, "Lord, You left, why
 am I
 still here?" The demons said, " We
 are
 going to torment you, you are
 staying
 here. " Then I heard a terrifying
 laugh, it
 was so horrible, "Ha ha ha, you are
 going to stay here. I finally trapped
 you,
 right where I want you. I wanted
 you
 here because you have stolen many
 souls from me and I will destroy
 you,
 here is where you belong. " He gave
 orders to the demons
 , "Take her away, take her where
 she
 belongs."
 I responded, "No, no, I am not
 staying
 here because the Lord is with me.
 He
 said He would not leave me here."
 Then I heard satan’s voice "You are
 staying here, you are staying here
 because the Lord is not with you.
 Look
 around, He is not with you. " I
 looked,
 but could not see the Lord. I felt so
 lonely, and I began to doubt. I began
 weeping and cried out, "Lord, why
 did
 you leave me? Why Lord, why?"
 Instantly the Lord said, " Daughter, I
 am
 here. " I heard His voice in my ear.
 Looking straight at satan, I replied,
 "The Lord is here with me." But he
 responded , " No He's not, take a
 look."
 I couldn’t see Jesus, but I could
 hear
 his voice. I began to doubt again
 because the demons were getting
 so
 close to me. I felt a rope tied around
 my waist that kept pulling me
 towards
 that freaky voice. It said,
 "You damn fool, that’s what you are,
 a
 damn fool. I will destroy you
 because
 you have encouraged many souls
 not
 to come to hell, many souls are lead
 out of hell because you are
 preaching.
 Don’t do it anymore, keep your
 mouth
 shut, just shut your mouth, I will
 destroy you, I will kill you.

MAN FROM BATTERED PAST BY ERIC MELTON

Man from battered past

With grim future

Too afraid to accept kindness

Too weak to feel hate

Too ungrateful to give thanks

Too egocentric to think

Too broke to pay

Too lost to be found

Too evil to joke

Too serious to commit

Too lazy to start

Too happy to change

Too close for comfort

Too right to be wrong

Too weird to be accepted

Too little to grow

Too stupid to know

Too good for God

Battered and belittled
You've given me life

Now I must carry on


CLOSE UP BY EVAN HODDER

First I feel it in my temple,
moves to my shoulders,
and I have to look down
because the oxytocin makes my eyes feel funny.
fingers between hands between knees between pleas
I have to bite my lip for some sort of grounding
I really don't wanna smile but I do,
don't wanna be bashful but I am,
don't wanna want, hobby of the hopeless.

words have been kind on this occasion,
and the chaos retreats for now.
obscure the pillars before me, it's not time yet for light.



I AM GOOD BY ROBO MAN

I am life and death. I give life to the world as I take it away from the world. I am the light in the darkness and the darkness in the light. I am the creator of worlds and the destroyer of worlds.
I build up walls to prevent evil to only them again to let evil prevail. I start a revolution to start a war to destroy worlds to bring new life, new worlds and new hope. I am god




CHAPTER 6 BY REDEEMED HEISCOMING
Activity in Hell
 A head of us I could see a dim, yellow
 light. Jesus and I had come out of the
 tunnel of fear and now stood on a dirty
 ledge overlooking the belly of Hell. As
 far as I could see, there was a great
 amount of activity going on in the
 center (the belly) of Hell.
 We stopped, and Jesus spoke. "I am
 going to take you through the belly of
 hell, and I am going to reveal many
 things to you. Come, follow Me." The
 two of us walked on.
 Jesus said, "Ahead are many terrors.
 They are not the figment of someone's
 imagination-but they are real. Be sure
 to tell your readers that demon powers
 are real. Tell them also that satan is
 real, and the powers of darkness are
 real. But tell them not to despair, for if
 My people which are called by My
 name will humble themselves and pray
 and turn from their wicked ways, then I
 will hear from heaven and heal their
 lands and their bodies. Just as surely
 as heaven is real-even so, Hell is also
 real"
 God wants you to know about hell, and
 He wants to save you from that place.
 God wants you to know you have a
 way out. That way is Jesus Christ, the
 Savior of your soul. Remember, only
 those with their names written in the
 Lamb's Book of Life will be saved.
 We came to the first activity in the
 belly of Hell. It was to the right of
 where we had entered and up on a
 small hill in a dark corner of Hell.
 I remembered the words of the Lord
 when He said to me, "It will seem
 sometimes like I have left you, but I
 will not. Remember that I have all
 power in heaven and in earth. At times
 the evil spirits and lost souls will not
 see us or know we are here. Fear not.
 What you are about to see is real.
 These things are happening right now
 and will continue to happen until death
 and Hell are cast into the lake of fire."
 Reader, make sure your name is
 written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
 Ahead of us I could hear voices and
 the cries of a soul in torment. We
 walked up the small hill and looked
 over. A light filled the area, so I could
 see clearly. Cries like you have never
 thought possible were filling the air.
 They were the cries of a man.
 "Listen to Me," said Jesus. "What you
 are about to see and hear is true. Take
 heed you ministers of the gospel, for
 these are faithful and true sayings.
 Awake, evangelists, preachers, and
 teachers of My Word, all of you who
 are called to preach the gospel of the
 Lord Jesus Christ. If you are sinning,
 repent or you will likewise perish."
 We walked up to within fifteen feet of
 this activity. I saw small dark-clothed
 figures marching around a boxlike
 object. Upon closer examination, I saw
 that the box was a coffin and the
 figures marching around it were
 demons. It was a real coffin, and there
 were twelve demons marching around
 it. As they marched, they were
 chanting and laughing. Each one had a
 sharp spear in his hand, which he kept
 thrusting into the coffin through small
 openings that lined the outside.
 There was a feeling of great fear in the
 air, and I trembled at the sight before
 me.
 Jesus knew my thoughts, for He said,
 "Child, there are many souls in torment
 here, and there are many different
 types of torment for these souls. There
 is greater punishment for those who
 once preached the gospel and went
 back into sin, or for those who would
 not obey the call of God for their lives.
 "
 I heard a cry so desperate that it filled
 my heart with despair. "No hope, no
 hope!" he called. The hopeless cry
 came from the coffin. It was an
 endless wail of regret.
 "God, how awful!" I said.
 "Come," said Jesus, "let's go closer."
 With that, He walked up to the coffin
 and looked inside. I followed and also
 looked in. It appeared that the evil
 spirits could not see us.
 A dirty-gray mist filled the inside of the
 coffin. It was the soul of a man. As I
 watched, the demons pushed their
 spears into the soul of the man in the
 coffin.
 I will never forget the suffering of this
 soul. I cried to Jesus, "Let him out,
 Lord; let him out." The torment of his
 soul was such a terrible sight. If only
 he could get free. I pulled at Jesus'
 hand and begged Him to let the man
 out of the coffin.
 Jesus said, "My child, peace, be still."
 As Jesus spoke, the man saw us. He
 said, "Lord, Lord, let me out. Have
 mercy." I looked down and saw a
 bloody mess. Before my eyes was a
 soul. Inside the soul was a human
 heart, and blood spurted from it. The
 thrusting of the spears were literally
 piercing his heart.
 "I will serve You now, Lord." He
 begged, "Please let me out." I knew
 that this man felt every spear that
 pierced his heart.
 "Day and night, he is tormented," the
 Lord said. "He was put here by satan,
 and it is satan who torments him."
 The man cried, "Lord, I will now preach
 the true gospel. I will tell about sin and
 Hell. But please help me out of here."
 Jesus said, "This man was a preacher
 of the Word of God. There was a time
 when he served Me with all his heart
 and led many people to salvation.
 Some of his converts are still serving
 Me today, many years later. The lust of
 the flesh and the deceitfulness of
 riches led him astray. He let satan gain
 the rule over him. He had a big church,
 a fine car, a large income. He began to
 steal from the church offerings. He
 began to teach lies. He spoke mostly
 half-lies and half-truths. He would not
 let Me correct him. I sent My
 messengers to him to tell him to repent
 and preach the truth, but he loved the
 pleasures of this life more than the life
 of God. He knew not to teach or preach
 any other doctrine except the truth as
 revealed in the Bible. But before he
 died, he said the Holy Ghost baptism
 was a lie and that those who claimed to
 have the Holy Ghost were hypocrites.
 He said you could be a drunkard and
 get to heaven, even without
 repentance.
 "He said God would not send anyone to
 Hell -that God was too good to do that.
 He caused many good people to fall
 from the grace of the Lord. He even
 said that he did not need Me, for he
 was like a god. He went so far as to
 hold seminars to teach this false
 doctrine. He trampled My Holy Word
 under his feet. Yet, I continued to love
 him.
 "My child, it is better to have never
 known Me than to know Me and turn
 back from serving Me," said the Lord.
 "If only he had listened to You, Lord!" I
 cried. "If only he had cared about his
 soul and the souls of others. "
 "He did not listen to Me. When I called
 he would not hear Me. He loved the
 easy life. I called and called him to
 repentance, but he would not come
 back to Me. One day he was killed and
 came immediately here. Now satan
 torments him for having once
 preached My Word and saved souls
 for My kingdom. This is his torment."
 I watched the demons as they
 continued to march around and around
 the coffin. The man's heart beat and
 real blood ran from it. I will never
 forget his cries of pain and sorrow.
 Jesus looked at the man in the coffin
 with great compassion and said, "The
 blood of many lost souls are upon this
 man's hands. Many of them are in
 torment here right now." With sorrowful
 hearts, Jesus and I walked on.
 As we left, I saw another group of
 demons coming up to the coffin. They
 were about three feet high, dressed in
 black clothes, with black hoods over
 their faces. They were taking shifts
 tormenting this soul.
 I thought of how pride in all of us at
 times makes us unwilling to admit
 mistakes and ask for forgiveness. We
 refuse to repent and humble ourselves,
 and we go on as if we alone were ever
 right. But listen, soul, Hell is real.
 Please do not go to that place.
 Then Jesus showed me a giant clock,
 stretched out across the whole world.
 And I heard it ticking. The hour hand
 was nearing the twelve o'clock
 position, and the minute hand raced
 around until it stopped at three minutes
 before twelve. Stealthily the minute
 hand moved toward the hour. As it
 moved, the ticking became louder and
 louder until it seemed to fill the whole
 earth.
 God spoke like a trumpet, and His
 voice sounded like many waters.
 "Listen and hear what the Spirit is
 saying to the churches," He said. "Be
 ready, for at a time you think not, I will
 come again. I hear the clock striking. It
 is twelve o'clock. The Bridegroom has
 come for His bride."
 Are you ready for Christ's coming, my
 friend? Or will you be like those who
 say, "Not today, Lord?" Will you call
 upon Him and be saved? Will you give
 your heart to Him today? Remember,
 Jesus can and will save you from all
 evil if you call on Him today, and
 repent. Pray for your family and your
 loved ones that they will come to Christ
 before it is too late.
 Listen as Jesus says, "I will protect
 you from evil. I will keep you in all your
 ways. I will save you. I will save your
 loved ones. Call upon Me today and
 live. "
 With many tears, I pray that all of you
 who read this book will realize the
 truth before it is too late. Hell is for
 eternity. I am trying to the best of my
 ability to reveal all I saw and heard. I
 know these things are true. As you
 read the remainder of this book, I pray
 that you will repent and take Jesus
 Christ as your personal Savior.
 I heard the Lord say, "It is time to go.
 We shall return again tomorrow."
 A DIVINE REVELATION OF HELL BY MARY K BAXTER



STARS BY WILLIAM

You couldn't remember
the last time you heard that sound
because it was your name
and she said it so sweetly.

And you didn't explain
how you smiled when you were scarred
because you thought she was like the others
and she would ignore that too.

You couldn't understand
what she was doing when she asked
because nobody ever asked
and you thought you were crazy again.

And you didn't pretend
that you were alright anymore
because you became glass
and she could see right through you.


You couldn't believe
how somebody knew you so well
because you didn't know her
and she had the same exact problems.

And you didn't hesitate
when you told her everything
because she did the same
and she kept getting closer too.

You couldn't deny
that you were happy for once
because she liked to talk
and you could join in with her.

And you didn't lie
when you said you were alright
because you were this time
and she said that she loved you.




HOT WATER BY JOHN STAUB

Soon after we are born
we are washed in hot water
and dad is smiling and mom is so worn.
Then we are put in the sink, sons and daughter,
were the dishes were washed with care
but soon we're swiming like an otter
and mom is there drying our hair.
while dad takes a picture exclaiming, "Gott'er!"
Later we're released in a bathtub holding our nose
and we learn hot water is good for cleaning
behind our ears and between our toes.
Mom hauls us out like red crabs steaming.
The day comes when dad teaches us boys to shower
in a stream of hot water far above which gets
closer and closer was we grow like a weedy tower;
our dirty closes in a hamper mom would like to forget.
We learn in school then life how easy it is to get into
hot water and how hard it is to get out of it.
Eventually, out on our own, we find work to do.
At the end of the day we soak in hot water to forget.
Finally with kids of our own, who are so much more bold,
we can finally relax making hot water for coffee, tea, and sore knees.
The kids leave for school, work, then to start their own fold.
They come back later to wash away with hot water
    our old fears and new tears.




A CHILD BY KIM 

A child cries for one to hear, 
falling on nothing but deaf ears. 
all the people who were to show him love, 
took it in turn to confuse and shove. 

he thought it was better to be alone, 
at least this way he had adventures. 
To the briny deep with pirates, 
or through a jungle with tigers. 

With One great and forceful whack, 
he is brought back into line. 
He lashes out and fights back, 
only to result in boarding school. 

It was here he learned new hatred, 
Of one towards a church. 
His isolation was his peace. 
All he sought was release. 

Each night alone he would cry, 
wondering what to do how or why? 
each weekend was a de-mentors dream, 
Of many ways to make him scream. 

Stripped naked and bare, 
fastened to a chair, 
when one would make threats, 
the boy would find pleasure, 
as it would come to an end. 

He was brandished a liar and cheat, 
when all he wants is acceptance and love. 
In return he was stripped naked and bare, 
beaten with irons until he couldn't care. 

Blood flows onto his cheek, 
Is this his punishment for being meek? 
Older he gets the cries go quiet, 
his trust is forever lost. 

For a time the cries were screams, 
each family gathering  a horrid dream. 
Senior members growing nothing but anger, 
each birthday brings nothing but terror. 
Another reminder of his existence. 

Days go by weeks to months, 
the child tries to die many times. 
His endless battle of self hate, 
Is this to be his lifelong fate? 

The child grows and becomes a man, 
He knows never to raise a hand. 
he finds love and new life, 
enduring many obstacle for this right. 

All the ones he was to trust, 
Now make him ashamed & full of disgust. 
He wonders why God did not come, 
Why ones punishment to others is so much fun. 
Also why he didn't pull that trigger on the gun? 

Time has passed and the man is free, 
His isolation his necessity. 
He is finally alone free for adventure. 
Finding one to love his new venture. 



BLOOD AND THUNDER BY KENDRICK

Raging waters 
lets capture the beast of the deep blue sea. 
Strike with fear. 
Open the sky with lightning. 
Headed right forward into the center of the storm. 
Spear me, into the heart. 
Far away taken me down. 
Rain cloud don't wash us away. 
Abandoned ship sinking us right into this monster. 
Jaws of death seeking blood to hunt for his pray. 
Battle axle's an burning castles rot into flames. 
Blood and thunder sunk right under the red sea. 


INFINIUM BY MATT BAINES

Each day is shattered
As the weeds of doubts
Become overgrown between splintered moments
Grown stale from fear
Fertilized by advice of fallen dreams
That has left heavy footprints
Now hardened to tombstones
Before I find myself taking the lead
Deep into the roots of it all
Forcing me to be dirty
In veiny caverns erected
Vacuuming snakes of light
Slithering through my innocence
Delivering only naked spaces
Crushed by claustrophobic scents of loneliness
And the uninvited now gone
Ushers the reminiscent hunger for welcoming.

Soiled thoughts multiply, suffocating me
Tightly trying to grab hold
What’s good, what’s bad, true, false
Frightens me to my greatest crime
Uncertainty slips me further down
Broken fragments of truth
Cutting senses away from my identity
Exposing emotions of my wounds
Caught on the corners of time
I must stay in one place traveling great horizons
With nothing between but me
Bridging shattered days
Past questions with no answers
Where truth is beauty
And beauty is lived not followed

But shattered days as these
Do not see; I stand without vision
To stop any reason
For me to trickle through
Stubborn soil beginning to erode
By sweat squeezed out
Impossible angles slowly expanding
Stiff layers of age
That before caused procrastination of former guilt
And agitation of future ignorance
Divorcing all from the song
Our breaths exhale
Now vibrating the terrain
Echoing melodies of before and after
Dance in the background
And what’s gone never ends
Making them not lost, but here

Who knew an astronomer is born in these depths
For I am a man known before time
Treading in new oceans formed
In the underbelly of my existence
Saturating reflections from above
That brightens heroes fearless of pressure
Beginning to conduct distant currents
Building waves of passion
Synthesizing charges up past each cavern
As I spiral through my own mind
Leaving the impossible behind
Creating lightning that strikes from the ground
Where I walk confidently in my difference.




 
AS THE DAYS OF LOT BY SUSAN WALL
Sometimes I just want to scream, from the mountain tops.
Do you all not care Jesus is coming back?
You feel as though you're voice is crying in the dessert,
no one wants to hear.
Jesus we know your return is near, as we pick up today's news paper.
All that is happening, is what the Bible spoke about 2,000 years ago.
It is sad no one seems to care,
just as the Bible said.
As it was in the days of Lot, so will it be when the Lord returns.
My fellow poet we need to get the Word out,
time is running short.
Where is our burden for the lost?





 
WHO'S THIS BABE BY LEWIS BAILY
Each day is shattered
As the weeds of doubts
Become overgrown between splintered moments
Grown stale from fear
Fertilized by advice of fallen dreams

Forcing me to be dirty

BE THANKFUL BY SELA AMU

There was once a man who had
No food or money
So he went out searching for some one
Who would give him some.
He came across a house with a chimney so stout
So he decided to knock its door,Then a man came out
The man asked him for some food,so this man gave him a jar of pickles
The man took the jar and rejoiced.
Soon in the night a beautiful goblin arrived and gave the man a bag full of golden coins.
Using which this man was strong enough to be proud.

Be thankful it matters!

 


THE COP BY HEMU GUPTA



While we all sleep tightly and safely in our warm and fluffy blankets.
One man is always duty bound and ever alert.
We can have a tensionless and fear free life with the hope.
We are under the protection of ever alert cop.

He is the watchdog who protects us from various bloodhounds.
He protects from minor or heinous crimes bearing innumerable wounds.
He cleans the illegal worms of the society with his legal mop.
We all should be grateful to the ever active cop.

He stays away from his family while we all enjoy the delirium of parties and festivals.
He guards zealously while the v.i.p’s gather crowd with their arrival.
Be it Loneliness, burning heat and large crowds he never stops.
So next time you enjoy in crowds think about the ever sacrificing cop.

Yes some of them are dishonest, some of them are unjustifiable.
Yes some of them are favourable to big fishes and biased towards the feeble.
But it doesn’t mean that every policeman is not doing his job.
So please keep an open mind before judging a cop.

 

SAME PLACE BY J BROWN

Someplace 2.12.13 - 6.12.13

We all may move in different directions
at times we will coincide
we take a choice at intersections
we may take along a ride
and choose which way we drive.

Our course depends on each selection
the future we derive is hidden from our eyes
until it comes to sight.

We may use our instinct in anticipation
yet it still may take disguise
and be of some surprise.

Obstacles cause some consternation
littering our route to someplace
we take our time to wind around
in this some kind of race.

We may not abound with inspiration
but should attempt this charge with grace
as we journey to our fate.



POINT OF POWER BY TRACY BOLLINGE

When thoughts rush the tongue,
to be spoken, vying is each one.
But cantering, on some in flight,
pick and peruse a few you might.

Where, were you thus beholden,
what part did you find to meld in?
The beginning in flurry, or in end,
perhaps middle, you in mind fend.

I'm wont, splitting a finite difference,
at point, becoming infinite reference.
As such, I am defining by an impulse,
action's manifest, at centre of pulse.

Seek to be reason, joining cause,
to effect, focused in infinite pause. . .
Be the word left out; but still read. . .
the intent; when hiding becomes hid.
Be change of coin; becoming cash. . .
abruptness; of collision become crash.
Be precision; where miss becomes hit. . .
instant; where dim becomes well-lit.
Be decision; where trigger pull is shot. . .
immediacy; of loosing becoming lost.
Speed; of quick become extreme fast. . .
be a pause; holding tic to tuck's past.
Be choice; fork becomes path taken. . .
change; of dislike becoming forsaken.
Be line crossed; dying becomes death. . .
passing; of breathing being next breath.
Be voice heard; right separating wrong. . .
words just sung; moment they are song.
Always find self in the precise moment,
where transition is defining in comment.
Where thought's action, meets it's power,
hitch will, where consciousness is flower.

No matter what happens, be there. . . .



THE GHOST OF LLYRIA BY ARISTOTLE JONES

The clouds were dark and foreboding
circling the mountains of despair
and the predators of summer lay hiding
deep in their forested lairs,
but the creatures that came out to prey
in that ancient, beautiful land
knew not the laws of nature
nor those of God or of man.
They thrived on a primitive hatred
and knew only bloodthirsty rage,
they attacked with the ravenous hunger
of hell hounds finally uncaged.
I lived in the shadows and stalked them,
I traded my soul for their lives;
For their evil I traded them evil
to be sure that it didn't survive.
In that land so enchanted and haunting
I became a ghost in the night;
I looked into the darkest abyss,
but somehow I held onto the light
and though it led me back up to the surface
not all of me really survived.
I found my purpose and passion
at least for a short span of time,
I learned when the innocent suffer
to do nothing is the only real crime.
Bound by honour I did what I could
and by God, I would do it again,
I will stand by my every decision
and hope there's salvation in sin.
I pray that the ground long watered with bloodshed
will one day bloom with true peace
and all the nonsensical hatred
will finally and forever cease...
That kingdom where I once was a ghost
lost between shadow and light
becomes a place of true beauty
that lives in my dreams in the night.



DANGEROUS GAME BY NAYD ABIGAIL

Butterfly so sickly sweet
Splendour shines beyond
Beast within the Beauty
Beauty within the Beast
The widow awaits
Silver tongue dances
through spoken words
Web of weaved truths
Hidden lies remain
The clueless are enraptured
The game begins 
The splendour falls



THE REEF BY LOUISE VORSTER

Red, yellow and blue, early morning sun rise
Wet suite on, black and tight, just the right size
Boat hitting the water, splashing through a wave
me holding on tight, the water's light spray I crave
Miles into the shining sea, found the right spot
rolling back into this deep water, oxygen I've got
Down, down, down I go
engulfed into the deep blue sea...
pressure building with every feet
soon the bottom of the sandy reef, I will greet
Moving, floating, weightless, crystal clear sea
experience unique, aquatic life so free
Soon my air will be low, now a new goal
Need to reach the surface soon
back to dry land, leaving behind, in the sea my soul..



BLACK BY CHEMI RAYOS

Spiritual endeavours
I Translate their letters
Each day I step outside
& see black feathers
No limits no measures
I'm finding soul treasures
Excess escapist
Drug induced pleasures
black water, black leather
black eyes, black air
Daisies sprouted from a corpse
in her long black hair
I use to once care
but it's synonymous
To fear so I said no more &
Now the dead just appear.



TOGETHER WE STAND, TOGETHER WE WIN BY MICHAEL KNOSPE

How far does someone go for the greater good,
Who else will stand to help the neighbourhood,
Will you stand to help the greater USA?
Or will your feelings go astray?
So many that kneel for help,
some are weak, a little more then a welp,
if at all possible, would you lend a hand?
Or will you play like you can not comprehend?
The times are tough, no doubt,
Lets take a stand to prove what we are about,
help out in a way that isn't a hand out,
teach a skill that puts one on the right route,
You will win if your on this team,
for together,  We can be the sun's beam.     



HIM BY MARISTA SMITH

He is my strength
He is my weakness
He is my hell
and he is my heaven
He is my nightmare
But he is my dreams
He is my warmth
when i turn cold in the night
He is my song
The reason i take a breath
He is the story i hold to my heart
My everything
I wouldn't be me without him
He is my heart
My soul and my thoughts
He is my best friend
My love
and my lover
How could i live this life
without him at my side?

HOLD YOUR HAND

It's just not fair
This spell that you have cast upon me
This curse,  a malefic
This dreaded need to yearn for your affections
but cannot

I hate this feeling now
but i want you just the same
but how could you?
I have done everything i could
with the little resources that i had

I would sell my soul to Satan
I would turn my back to God himself
I would murder, I would steal
to the point my soul will never be healed
But alas!
I cannot
I am not allowed
Just as I am not allowed

to even hold your hand



PROVIDED MEADOW BY DANIEL ACORN

This pen and me, we sat amid the meadow
Strewn in grass we wrote about the colour yellow
Provided on some paper not from these trees
 But others cut for me.
 This pen is guided over leaves with words
 Of men in those buildings in the summer.
 Here I am a product, provided in the meadow
 These words and metaphor lined up
 Like the trees that rustle.
 This skill will drive nails into them
 To hell, what is this sign man unto them? 
 I am so, so sorry meadow.



YOU AND ME BY PAMELA



When You are so near 
I realise how dear you are 
Words fail me because of an unknown fear 
Trips down from my heart, a sorrowful tear 
My heart screams out for you, do you hear? 
\I feel lonely, my heart raises a hue, 
So many thoughts and dreams about you 
As though we are made for each other, 
to share and to care for, together. 
How I wish to tell the truth for you to hear 
That, I Love You, am yours, Now and Forever ! 
\But then, when You are so near 
I realise how dear you are 
Words fail me because of an unknown fear 
Trips down from my heart, a sorrowful tear 
My heart screams out for You, do you hear







LATE NIGHT DRIVE BY JONATHAN MALAER

Being without you makes me feel empty inside.
 I forget that I’m supposed to breathe to stay alive.
 My chest gets so very tight, and my eyes moisten.
 My heart races but not because of joy and excitement,
 But because of the sadness I feel without you.
  
 I was driving home tonight,
 Alone on an empty road with my thoughts,
 Of course you were there with me.
 As my hands tightly clutched the steering wheel;
 My heart was routinely breaking again.
  
 I kept thinking of how I didn’t feel whole,
 Now that you are gone and have moved on
 I kept thinking that even though you hate me,
 I don’t hate you; my love for you is still strong.
 It’s like a curse, only just a little bit worse.
  
 It was a very lonely drive tonight,
 Not having you by my side.
 How long must this keep going on? 




NEW JOURNEY BY J MALAER

The way she calls him boyfriend,
 Painfully stabs me in the chest.
 It feels like only minutes after she left,
 Another came into the picture,
 And became her new Mr.
 I sit cold and alone wondering…
 
My mind never seems to be at rest.
 She’s always tumbling around inside my head.
 Everything seems to remind me of our beautiful mess.
 I left for 4 days to try and escape the insanity.
 I climbed mountains. She climbed with me.
 Enjoyed the magnificence of the Grand Canyon.
 She stared at me from the other side.
  
 I even went to Vegas to escape it.
 Mr. Kravitz wreaked some amazing havoc,
 And she brought tears to my eyes.
 I no longer feel safe inside of me,
 Only feeling betrayed instead.
 Why does she do this to me?
  
 How can someone who loves you tear you apart?
 She says she hates me,
 She never wants to see me.
 She wants me out of her life.
 But for close to a year she WAS my life.
 She helped me breathe again…
 
Look at me now, sad and lonely,
 Writing sappy poetry?
 Wishing things were better,
 Maybe if they never…
But I can’t think that way.
 Tomorrow is a new day.
  
 One foot in front of the other,
 She is no longer my rudder.
 I must guide myself again.
 Make new friends, and maybe,
 Just maybe I will be able to give a little grin,
 Knowing I’m able to live again…
See... I've been wondering... 



  
THE MISSING OPORTUNITY

  The smile of the moon is hidden by the Soupy fog 
   As I walked into Metro Store that evening
   Series of beautiful Lipstick got my attention
   As I passed through the Mac display 
  
   I stopped and look at one of my favourite colors
  The store girl was busy talking with her friend
   Ignoring my vivacious presence there
   I tried to ask about the price and she replied in cold tone
   was she lack of customer approach tips ?
   Did she judge a customer outwardly ?
   But one thing for sure 
   The shop girl had lost the best opportunity in selling
              
   The smile of the moon is still hidden by the soupy fog
    I wonder why no smiling lips of the girl shop
    In the lipstick display
    Fact of live, I concluded my evening.
    



HER AND HIM BY KULEY FO

They say beauty lies within,
 Well he's got a beauty and she lies with him,
 She shines bright but his light is dim,
 She was pure and innocent but tainted by his sin,
 He says she's so good, planning to share her with friends,
 They say ignorance is bliss but this girl can't fend,
 She's slipping from grace, there is no way to pretend,
 They're on the same journey, she rides with him,
 He's determined, he'll strive, has hunger from within,
 But he's like a hitman, don't collide with him,
 She'stoo naive so won't cut ties with him, 
 Her friends don't know anything, she won't confine in them.
 She was heaven sent
 But about to be ruined, he wants that
 And he's hell bent 




DARBY BY ED M

 You know now
 I broke the window’s glass
 Lied to you
 One who loved me most
 Shared every thing
 Shared our incurable disease
 I am recovering
 You watch me, more than ever.
  
 You know now
 I drank at your funeral
 Your last ask
 See you were there
 I still bottled
 My head lay low for years.
  
 You know now
 I changed for better
 I see you
 Dancing with mom in heaven
 You know now
 Our love was real.
  
 In memory of my grandfather
 Darby
  
 While listening to Eleanor Rigby sung by
 Donald Dark




SOMEWHERE IN ALABAMA BY LAURA DIPZINSKI

We stood before God & we took a vow
 Just one lie away from the mess we're in now
 The bond was so easy to break
 Like a twig in your hand
 A lifetime of union - a pillar of trust
 All swept away by a man's selfish lust
 Insanity or a mistake?
 I just can't understand
 When you told me to leave
 I had nowhere to go
 But I got in my car
 And I drove & I drove
 And the tears they kept falling
 Til I thought I would choke
 I just wanted to stay
 You're the man that I love
 Still you sent me away
 My love wasn't enough
 And the pain it kept growing
 Til the heart of me broke
 Now I'm living a lie
 Every day of my life
 Trying hard to pretend
 I'm not somebody's wife
 My mind keeps recording the days
 Like some old movie camera
 While I'm hiding away
 Somewhere in Alabama
 Soon paper will say that the ties are no more
 But my heart can't go back to what it was before
 Once love is burned into the soul
 It will suffer the scar
 I'm still dreaming of you
 Every night as I sleep
 Trying hard to let go
 But the memories are deep
 And I have to move on - yes I know
 But I never get far
 When you told me to leave
 I had nowhere to go
 But I got in my car
 And I drove & I drove
 And the tears kept on falling
 Til I thought I would choke
 I just wanted to stay
 You're the man that I love
 But you sent me away
 My love wasn't enough
 And the pain it kept growing
 Til the heart of me broke
 Now I'm living a lie
 Every day of my life
 Trying hard to pretend
 I'm not somebody's wife
 My mind keeps recording the days
 Like some old movie camera
 While I'm hiding away
 Somewhere in Alabama
 This isn't my world
 This isn't our home
 This isn't our room
 Where I sleep now - alone
 I don't recognize anything
 Just who the hell am I?
 So tired 
 Pretending that I'm someone strong
 When I don't even know
 Where I belong
 Sometimes it takes everything
 Not to break down and cry......




LIFES HIGH SCORE BY JESSE BOYER

Sun shines rain rains nature takes control 
 plant your seed nourish it 
 memories will flow

 but you want some more
 i'll never QUIT
 I'd get to bored
 Accomplished it 
 Yeah lifes high score





WIFE BY PHILIP MOORE

She was my love, she was my life,
 She was my woman, she was my wife.
 \I gave her my soul, I gave my heart,
 She gladly took it and tore it apart.
 \I loved her more than life itself
 but her love for me was somewhere else.
 \Her past lives she couldn't leave behind
 and to my love she seemed to be blind.
 \I love her still but now I see
 I loved her more than she loved me.




POISON POWER BY MO BURCHILL

You are a flower
 Your fragrance has taken power
 The beauty of you is entrancing
 My heart leaps when you sing
 But your leaves sprout poison
 And hurt me with no reason
 As winter approaches you disappear
 Now I live without fear
 I can heal the poisoned heart
 With new wings that I'll never part
 For they have given me security
 And bring me peace while feeling free




WHISPERS OF GOST BY SUMIT T

The whispers of ghosts often fall on deaf ears
 Wandering voices that hide and reappear
 Our mind's fog is concealing
 Or perhaps they are messages not ready for revealing
 An ear open awaiting a voice
 Praying that after there still remains a choice
 Listening but struggling to stay strong
 Pondering if these ghosts have long passed on




BEOUTIFUL BUTTERFLY BY ARDALAN

Where are you my beautiful butterfly..
 Why did you leave without saying good-bye..
 You spread your wings and flew away..
 Left me here alone to stay..
  
 In my loneliness I stood..
 Dreaming of all the good..
 We used to have and used to be..
 Dreaming of when we were free..
  
 Suddenly I felt a breeze..
 A feeling that made me at ease..
 The gentle stroke of your wings..
 Gave me the strength of a million kings..
  
 Once again you were back in me..
 Once again you made me see..
 What life is and has always been..
 Feeling you beneath my skin..
  
 I ask of you nothing more..
 But taking the step through the door..
 Which leads inside of my heart..
 And lets you end and lets us start..    




DONT WORRY BY PETER DONARLDSON

Do you worry, my friend?
 Do you concern yourself about
 Your immediate future?
 Remember this simple fact=
 Today is the tomorrow we
 worried about yesterday,
 and all is well
 Never forget.




GREATER BY BEN BREWER

As I see you sitting there
 In the throne you call a chair
 Angel smile, Angel face
 I don't deserve this sublime grace
 Am I the only one to see
 You sitting so angelically?
 And in the moments such as this
 I am grateful I exist
 I wish to see you everyday
 And find a place where we could stay
 But you are greater than I could be
 So I will admire secretly
 When you pass me in the hall
 You don't notice me at all
 But maybe one day when I die
 I will meet you in the sky
 For surely heaven wants you back
 But since this grace I clearly lack
 The chances are just as well
 I'll think of you when I'm in hell.  



POSITIVE STARS FROM BIRTH BY BOBY JOHNSON

Positive starts from birth If the key turn then the key works what you don't earn is what you ain't worth some say talk is cheap but see what it's worth you can bet your bottom dollar there's no heaven on earth ............But ...... the book gose on........ 



YOUR BEST1/92 BY LE-AN RODERICK

I know it gets lonely. When your one and only
 takes off down the road.
 So grab a seat and take off a load.
 Because once again your on your own
 Really it's ok that he left.
 Because come hell or high water
 You still know how to be your best.  




MIMICKED BY DANYA HAIL

Can you feel it?
My heart has gone numb.
Can you see it?
My expression has been lost for months.
Can you hear it?
My laughing box broke.
Can you remember it?
My smile, laugh, and warmth that has been missing for months again.
Can you accept it?
She's gone.
 That girl whom everyone loved.
 Gone.
 Replaced with a shadow whom no one knows,
 Nor recognises.  
 Something that tries
 To be like a mime,
 To remind everyone of what they did
 To this precious little girl
 Who once smiled so brightly,
 Who was killed by
 Sharp ended words. 




THE JESSE SERIES BY HOPE

DREAM
 As I close my eyes
 The image returns
 Like it so often does
 Oh how I love it
 Standing there in front of me
 A flawless example of a man
 The way you lick your lips
 I can tell you're nervous
 A smile crosses my face
 You're so handsome
 You're beyond amazing
 You're what I've been waiting for
 Our eyes are locked on one another
 I can see your thoughts
 You can feel my soul
 The feelings are there as always
 You know I think you're perfect
 I know you think I'm beautiful
 Together we are unstoppable
 We are unbreakable
 HAUNTED
 You look away and turn from me
 What is it you're so afraid of?
 Why won't you let me in?
 Your past haunts you
 I know it does
 I see it when we talk
 You say you don't know
 You're just not ready
 You don't want the stress
 My smile drops
 My gaze meets the ground
 I can't stand this
 I don't get it
 Why can't you see that I understand?
 I know your pain
 Why can't you see?
 I'm not like them
 I won't hurt you
 Just give me a chance
 That's all I need
 Just let me show you
 I can prove it
 REALITY
 I drift back to the real world
 Hear the familiar tune
 Yelling at me to wake
 It's so cold in the morning
 The light is blinding but I don't care
 Through blurry eyes I read it
 That same smile appears on my face "Good morning"
 It's you
 Just like it is every day
 My heart races
 For now, I'm happy
 Maybe something will come of this
 I know I want it to
 As for you
 I'm really not sure
 Time will only tell I guess
 *sigh*
 "Good morning, Jesse(:"




DEVOTION LIKE FLAME BY SHAI

Main road is always clean
 But someone walks in narrow roads
 Why they face trouble
 To reach destination
  
 Some people practice
 Hatayoga, fasting
 Why they suffer themselves
  When god is in them
 Devotion is an easy way
 Devotion like flame
 God alike butter
 Whence we become devotee
 God melts as butter
 We get tasty ghee
 God never leaves devotees



UNABLE BY XAN

You couldn't remember
the last time you heard that sound
because it was your name
and she said it so sweetly.

And you didn't explain
how you smiled when you were scarred
because you thought she was like the others
and she would ignore that too.

You couldn't understand
what she was doing when she asked
because nobody ever asked
and you thought you were crazy again.

And you didn't pretend
that you were alright anymore
because you became glass
and she could see right through you.


You couldn't believe
how somebody knew you so well
because you didn't know her
and she had the same exact problems.

And you didn't hesitate
when you told her everything
because she did the same
and she kept getting closer too.

You couldn't deny
that you were happy for once
because she liked to talk
and you could join in with her.

And you didn't lie
when you said you were alright
because you were this time
and she said that she loved you.

ALL HAS IT BY KISH

Stop, some one said, 
You don't belong to this place, 
No, I don't, said the child, but want to be here, 
there are many things I want to tell and share. 
What makes you tell that and how do you dare, 
being a nothing to even come here. 
Well, asked the child, who said I am nothing, 
See like you I have all the body parts, blood and a brain to think. 
Oh ho, so you talk above your age, 
C'mon child you have done enough to raise my rage. 
Now its time you stop and go, 
or else you will see what to a child I dont like to show. 
I am a child I know, power and strength are not that I can show, 
but peep in your heart and see, 
when everything is same then how different can we be. 
I may be poor or low in class, 
but newborn child has no tag of rich, poor or a particular class, 
It's people like you who define these all, 
to remain on top to ensure that you all never fall. 
You can stop me from coming here, 
but cannt take away the strength 
that alone brought me  to you, 
and stand and stare at you defying all your words of fear. 


THE RISK BY UNKNOWN 


Suicidal love has been lost  anger felt with each feeling tossed heart keeps pumping faster now  Subliminal thoughts have gone a fowl What was this reason for us to be Was there really a you and me For I was blinded  But now I see What kind of fool  You made of me It's to late for me to retract no time left for you to react  every thing is so crimson red so many feelings that I have bled now I lay alone in our bed with a dark emptiness  that crowds my head wondering where we went wrong



WATCHED BY STAN BRIERLY 



Its quite remarkable what little birds do, 
Sitting and watching soaking up the view, 
There he is apparently observing me, 
As I row this sparrow I see. 
  
Patiently he stays with his head on the side, 
Casually he remains in the breeze outside, 
Protected by branches shielded from the wind 
Cute little fellow with his eyes skinned. 
  
After a while its closer he came, 
Not very far from my window frame, 
Even at that he was not phased, 
Still inquisitively intent and seemed amazed. 
  
Together we looked each to his own, 
Both in doubt assessing what's known, 
When I ceased with my camera in hand, 
I photographed him as I had already planned. 
  
These little creatures they're quick and light, 
And are graceful when actually in flight, 
My rowing over this chap flew away, 
But wasn't surprising that he did not stay. 
Quite fascinating to see this little sparrow watching me as 
I watched him while rowing on my rowing machine for 
  
some time,hence the poem. 





BATTERED HEAD BY STEELE BOCKS 



"Through the eyes of the beholder, we are humbled as little children. For what not you see, I see, they see, such livid candor. Appear before thy mirror of scrunity and judge not thy self harsh, for the condemnation of yourself simply reflects the pain of your concientious heart. Steer not wrecklessly in the wishing well for heavy cars will never float, remembering that you're simply made of earthly clay not a titantic steel hulled boat. Tumultuous thy battered heart may be, yet steady in the wind, for by allowing others to reverberate the good in you, lifes longevity you shall win." 




LUNA TANGO  BY DAVE F



The bright eye of the night, shines down in darkness.
Indebted to us, to cirle in a month.
\The water she comes and follows he,
always a step behind.
Rising and falling night and day,
Off the horizon he rides.
\They dance in a circle, invisible embrace.
Like lovers in Tango enthralled,
Together forever, they dance, never touch.
The Moon and the Earth evermore.





WINDINING BY RHADA



In the wilderness with no hope 
lost forever among the trees 
I stumble on a rotten log 
fall down to my knees 

Water's gone, my throat is dry 
I look for berries to eat 
anything for sustenance 
before I have to sleep 

Lost here now for many days 
searching for a way out 
I've wandered around in circles 
as I scream and shout 

No one has heard my forlorn cry 
or seen my campfire smoke 
I'm trying to keep my sanity 
by remembering funny jokes 

Now my mind is wandering 
my voice can no longer yell 
I know that I am dying here 
in this beautiful piece of Hell 












A MULE BY LEILA A





I underestimated the search 
and came out a fool. 
I looked for answers everywhere 
and everywhere found ghouls. 
I journeyed through the lowest valleys 
and with shadows as my fuel. 
I searched for this thing you call love 
but my encounters were cruel. 
So I took pilgrimage to Mecca 
and there discovered an ancient rule. 
I'll never attain that which I can't recognize 
and holy land can't make a pilgrim from a mule. 









WHY CRY BY GREYLON LINK 



Crying releases bad energy when 
we've seen more than enough. 

Crying reveals happiness whether 
a heart is filled with love or lust. 

Crying uncovers the truth when 
there is no one left to trust. 

Crying, it is the best showing of 
emotion because it frees us




DONT TOUCH MY TOMATOES BY DANA MOON





Please mister, don't you touch me tomato no, don't touch me tomato nouch me on me pumpkin, potato for goodness' sake, don't touch me tomato 

Touch me this, touch me that touch me everything I got touch me plum, me apples too but here's one thing you just can't do 

All you do is feel up, feel up aon't you tired of feel up, feel up all you do is squeeze up, squeeze up ain't you tired of squeeze up, squeeze up

All you do is feel up, feel up ain't you tired of feel up, feel up all you do is squeeze up, squeeze up ain't you tired of squeeze up, squeeze up 











EVERY NEW DAY BY DEEPANITTA MISRA



Everything I knew  
Was a mystery after all 
'Cause there's no pain 
After I've taken the fall 

Each of us has a life 
Live it while you can 
Explore every avenue 
And make a new plan 

Don't be afraid to die 
Don't live with fears 
There's victory for them 
Who can conquer tears... 









HOODWINKED BY JESS DURHAM



candy canes and gingerbread 
hanse, gretel, little red 
running from a good thief 
you think the wolf? 
you'rs wrong you'll see    



















RELIGION BY NEKITA 







Religion gives humanity a way to divide, 
Some people misbelieve yet others take pride, 
Sometimes it causes dispute, even conflict and war, 
Other times it brings people together, giving them something to live for. 
  
Having faith is necessary, as long as it is sincere, 
If followers mis-understand then ignorance can bring fear. 
People who fight and kill, in the name of God 
End up suffering themselves and their values get lost. 
  
We must seek to understand and realise the truth, 
Keep an open mind and heart as you find out what is right for you,
Everyone is entitled to knowing who they are, 
Where they have come from and how to go far. 
  
Explore deep within allowing your inner beauty to shine, 
Once you have touched your core, you will experience the divine, 
You won’t need saints or scriptures; you’ll have a clear vision, 
Your identity will be revealed and that will be your only religion. 










SLEEP TIGHT BY LARRY REESE 



every night as i go to bed 
i fight the things that linger in my head 
what did i do wrong this day 
what unkind word did i say 
how would my dreams be 
what visions would i see 
this night, 
i hope to sleep tight 
   










AWAY I GO



way i go to the place i belong to sing a song of love to come. 
Away i go to found my love to bring him back home. 
Away i go not far but close to the river that you may be there. 
Away i go to so many place to found my true love. 
Away i go maybe it is not the way to go. 
Away i go is no place for me to found him, because he is not the way to go. 








WINTER GARDERN BY COLMAN HORGAN



It’s not the clogged drains 
of flat mottled leaves 
obstinately blocked, 
Nor the dead tomatoes 
in the green glass house, 
Or the windfalls left 
in a no mans land 
a chipping driveway 
shorn by winter’s breath 
It’s moss on the car 
  
The everyday  











VESPER BY JACOB RAJU 



in this very evening 
we beseech you jesus 
keep us always 
in your loving grace. 

obstruct bad dreams 
not to come in sleep 
children we are in the night 
make us my jesus bold. 

give us strength to destroy 
the evil-tempter by our foot 
keep us safe not to fall 
in the way of destruction root.  

father, son and holy spirit 
great god we praise 
live for ever and ever 
rule us and to raise.  




THE CAMERA BY JOHN


The camera sees all. 
Reality or illusion. 
It captures a moment in time, 
The camera, 
catches the truth, 
And shows it to us. 
The camera, 
Our eyes, 
Our windows to the world. 












FOR MY LOVE BY SABA 



My dear beloved you are so beautiful 
When I first saw you. 
My heart was yours 
Your glowing beauty made me crazy 
Your blue eyes is like exactly blue sea 
Your hair is like golden silk strings 
Your forehead is bright 
Your voice is like a beautiful melodious song 
Your existence is fragile like glass 
Touch will break 
Your complexion is like a strawberry shake 
Your breath is hot like the sun 
Your lips red like cherries and pink like rose petals 
I'm in love with you 
You are my first wish of my life










AVA EARNEST By BENJAMIN 



Ocean blue eyes on olive skin 
Ruby lips and flirtatious grin 
Long light locks curve into the sky 
The sight of her beauty means you will die 
It's her job to hunt the people's revolutuion 
That are slowing the government's evolution 
Hired by the top she disappears into dark 
Her autograph a shallow lead mark   

One night she stalks a man unknown as John 
He turns a corner and then he's gone 
A heavy object dents her head 
Falling off the roof and left to bled 
An hour later she is still on the ground 
Until a trinity on footsteps make a sound 
A trail of blood follows where she's dragged 
Thrown in a room, bound and gagged










LETS TALK BY NADIA ABDELRAZEK

Let's not pretend it's all okay 
as the words spoken slay. 
  
Regardless of the intention 
the conversation had no passion. 
  
Lets talk is what is remembered 
but everything changes like the weather. 
  
All is over lets talk is forgotten 
just like a field of picked cotton. 
  
Let's talk Let's talk faded words 
sounds like chirpping birds. 
  
Meaningless sounds 
left within a mound. 
  
Let's talk is no more 
free to finally soar. 







IN SEARCH OF GOD BY SID ASH





I wandered here and there , 
I crossed seven seas, 
I climbed up on the hills, 
Someone told me that God is up there, 
I roamed in the deserts , 
To find where the God is? 
I searched for Him every where, 
Everywhere in deep jungles,in deep blue oceans, 
I searched for him here and there, 
I tried to find Him in the child's smile, 
I strived alot and couldnt find Him, 
When I gave up my hope, 
Sitting in sadness and frustration, 
Someone whispered near to my ear, 
You looked for Him and here and there and everywhere, 
Have u looked for Him in your heart, 
He dwells in your heart and you are unaware, 
And I realized that ,I have found Him













SWEET HAPPENINGS BY LISA SPEARS 
  
As I look beyond the abyss 
Dreaming of thee of Whom I miss 
Sweet imaginings upon my lips 
Forever sealed from our first kiss 
  
In the clouds 
My head did rest 
Like an open bloom 
Caressed by the mist 
  
No other man 
Compares to this 
This feeling of 
Love's true kiss 
  
Oh cleansing rain 
Wash away my tears 
Releash me from my childish fears 
And come home quickly to me, my dear 
  
In your arms  
Is where I seek 
Like the branches of a tree 
Firmly rooted at my feet 
  
Your branches hold 
Tenderness, but strength 
Bearing scars, but no one sees 
The man, the tree, who means all to me







STILL PENDING NOEL CHRISTINE 





I lay here dreaming 
Of being with you 
I know we are 
Of one heart, not two 
Every minute precious 
Every second a dream 
Being at your side 
You and I as a team 
Weaving our heart strings 
Together as a braid 
I know we can do this 
Please, don't be afraid 
I know your heart 
And you know mine 
The love we have 
Will outlast time 
So put your hand in mine 
And come walk with me 
I promise you my Love 
I will love you for eternity












CARRY ME TO THE WATER  BY ERICA  O'BRITIS



Carry me to the water 
Where my dreams seem more alive 
Lay me down upon the sand 
Tell me the story of life 
Through your eyes 
With my head in your lap 
The space is closing in 
The gap between our two beings almost doesn't exist 
Carry me to the water 
In your strong arms like I'm your daughter 
Carry me to the water 
Like a baby I will sleep tonight 
Wild colorful dreams exist beyond my closed eyes 
But it's these dark and dreary things that fuel my fight 
That give me life 
Carry me to the water 
In the day or in the night 
Beneath the light of the stars and moon 
Or the sun 
Just show me the light 
Any light 
Carry me to the water 
Lay me upon the sand 
A better me is being awoken 
With every touch from your hand




HOW I FEEL BY CATHARINA

How comes this word is so painful but remains quite truthfully interesting? How come  is so full of hatred but it appears to be quite perfect? Unrequited love and dissapointment  which  people find bittering It's this world of ours that sometimes we don't respect   I was once unyieldingly hedonistic Juvenile,langurous and  persistent I felt alive,different and  very optimistic But then something stopped me and life became more realistic   Sad poor old soul I became Repressing myself from what The king of this world sustained Madly lost and wild in the world's sinful desire I was very much unsatisfied and starved for love quickly I remained   Aware of others feelings I became  apparent Of how people react and what intrigues their thoughts I should not have felt responsible but neither become indifferent I should've care at only what God thinks and stop blaming my faults



LOVE I'M HERE TO STAY BY SIO MAMROOI

Here at that closed road we stood.
Dare I to embrace you, hold you? Indeed, I should.
I wanted your smile, but sadness you showed.
I wanted to speak, but with my words, I chocked.
Raindrops of sorrow carpeted on our love ground, soaked.

I saw crystal depletes in your eyes,
Tears shy of falling in front of me, hidden.

Don’t worry, don’t you cry, by the fate,
My name with your name is written.

Have you ever seen a love story with no misery?
Love; why you’re always hurts? Why you keep on cutting?

Here to say you had the heart and its pulse and beats,
Deep inside like queen, there you’re sitting.

It’s so painful, unbearable,
But it is a price we ought to pay.

Its sound impossible, I know
But look! Here comes the Reunion day.
When we’ll rest and wrestle, fight then laugh,
When my head, upon your shoulder I’ll be able to lay.

I’ll be the one that raise his hands for you and pray,
To Lord, to keep your soul from going astray.

So even you can't see my face now,
My love for you will last, legendary, born to stay.

Do you hear the earth’s humming and bleats?
With the sky, they promised to pleat,
For us, so one day, we can meet
Fall in love once again, and make love excavate








IF AN ANSWER OF HUMAN'S CREATION IS THE STORY OF "ADAM AND EVE" THEN WHY ARE WE MAKING EACH OTHER BLEED BY URVASHI CHOUBEY

The truth of the Universe
No one really knows
Struggling are our experts
Of information there is an ample flow
Of the available information- what is right and wrong?
Debating are on this matter our specialists from quite long


The unfurled secrets of Universe
Every one desires to know
On the contrary
The truth of the moment
Then why do we let go?

You may have all answers to questions from
Bible, Gita, Ramayana and Quran
Reading them is tripe
If one fails to implement its preaching for life long

Butchered were the Jews in Hitler’s realm
Crushed were the innocent souls in 9/11 and 2008 Mumbai assail,
For answering any wrong
Each country today has latest ‘Nuclear Bombs’,
Then
Why an answer of all damages and hazards
Is the existence of Al Qaeda or Jihad?

In the pursuit of political games
For corruption “illiteracy” has been blamed
If illiteracy was the reason of ‘horror’ and ‘terror’
Then why till today we haven’t witnessed any CHANGE?

From the frame of terror
For once discount Osama and Saddam
Doing so has been the easiest way
Of putting on your wounds some pain relief balm

Graduate from Oxford, Masters from Cambridge; might be thee
But the basic lessons of humanity from our minds we have; let flee
Of differences and inequality
In our minds were sowed the seeds
At times by our ancestors, at times by the hypocrite advocates of religion
Caste, Creed, Color and Rage
Are the chapters of the book
In which humanity is caged

Shut your mouths and stop your pleas
Because the real creator of terrorism is YOU and ME
If an answer of Human's creation
Is the story of Adam and Eve
Then why are we making each other Bleed?

Terrorism is a child of a mere thought
Don’t let this virus further pass
On ‘it’ let us put together a 'FULL STOP


TITLE OF A POEM BY HEART & VOICEBOX
I think you didn't truly believe what I said p
It probably was doubt all across yo face as you read
Take a closer look
It's blood in the ink on the pages of that notebook
But how can I expect yours ears to do different than your tongue
It spoke true words that turned wrong
Some how to this in spite
I thought they would hear my lips right
That didn't go according to plan
I do what I can
So I did my best to make my actions so blatant
I figured it was no way your eyes a get them mistaken
But at last
They were all blocked by your past
It amazed me how you questioned if I could be committed
I see it was you who couldn't
Just for the record I did it.


THE END BY MADHURI

They say world is going to end, Where is river going to flow? Whom will sky shed its shadow, Where does wind going to blow, Who will ever live with words and legends   Man has the supreme mind, Can’t it stop the apocalypse? But once, mankind will be freed, From pain, toil and burden, From satisfaction and prosperity.   Where does all the inherited culture will go, Will it vanish, Will it just be a legend in next formation? Will there even be next formation? Whom the infamous will be famous, Will their fame will die with them Where the money of all riches will go, What will the use of innovation?   Will everything around be dust and land, Or it will be just void and vacuum, It we are to terminate one day, Why do we just exist? When there is no tomorrow.



DARKEST BEFORE DAWN BY MARK HALVARSON
To rest or awake,
The fatal reflection of whom imitates,
The image that gazes back with relic appeal,

Lingering to speak,
Recapture the spirit of a forgotten memory,
And the darkness swallows the light displaying my will,

Now as I try,
These thoughts are so loud that I'm denied,
For I can't even hear what I am trying to say,

Well I don't know when,
But the sun must rise once again,
And the seasons shall call for this cloud to pass by,






YOUR GIRL BY MADALYN LEE

I want to love you so bad,
Because you're the only one who
Can make laugh while making me mad.
And nobody's been here for me like you.

It's always been you there
To cheer me up while I cry.
And I've tried to love you, I swear,
But I can't and don't know why.

And through all these years,
You were the only one in the world
To catch every one of my tears,
So please know I'll always be your girl.

Even if I can't give back to you
As much love as you have given to me,
No matter what we've gone through,
Your best friend, I promise I'll be.  






BECOMING WHO I AM BY LACIE PEACOCK -GLAAB

I am who I am
I wonder who I'll be
I hear my conscious asking
I see the fear that rises upon me
I want to decide
I am who I am!
\I pretend I know what I will become
I feel my knowledge grow each day
I touch my senses that feels so dumb
I worry why I feel this way
I am who I am!
\I understand the importance of my choice
I say to myself that I can complete my goal
I dream of it and I carefully listen to my voice
I try to think harder about that "hole"
I hope I can fulfill it and become one of importance
I am who I am!








MUSING OF SOULS BY MEAGAN G

He touches me, and this is when the world melts,
melts like sweet honey.
In these fleeting moments,
when we are the last women and man standing on earth,
lost in each others eyes, worlds, galaxies...

It is scary to know
my soul can feel this deep.
After so much pain, so much sorrow,
you make my lungs cave- inward.
it is so scary that i cannot see the bottom,
feeling out of breath, collasping,
for my heart is stealing what my body needs to function.
Reality spins into imperfect perfection,
when my eyes are set in the future with you.

This is when we drift among stars,
as they hold us in place, away from the darkness i once saw.
The world comes rushing, rushing back into my body
with all its harsh reality.
Yet in the harsh reality of life, you are there...
reminding me.. that
a piece of our souls remain free.

Free outside of realities jurisdiction.







RIDING THE CHARIOTS BY BURIM LUTA

Riding the chariots of fire,
With no emotion, no human desire
No shiny armor on my chest
Just a will to go beyond

Never, ever will I look back
To my past painted black
To the torment I had to endure
Never, ever again

It was the stare of lifeless eyes
Of a body covered in flies
Eyes blue as sky, deep as ocean
That pierced my sinner soul

Her lovely name was Yvette
Never, ever will I forget
The surprise in her eyes
And the gun in my hand

Her look so fragile, yet so strong
Tells me clearly where I belong
To the deepest circles of hell

Where awaits my final demise.






RAIN DROPS BY SARAH CARNEY

Watch the rain fall
As all the people laugh
Speech thick with liquor.
Their ebb and flow
As the current through the gutter,
Washes over me like water over cobblestones.
Bare feet silent against the clicks of high heels,
Drowned out by thoughts of you.
I’m sorry my affections are so fleeting—
But they don’t make a pill for that.
So burn a hole through my heart with your cigarette
And make this guilty sickness stop,
For I’ve not the energy

To fight the raindrops falling.







LOVERS AND FIGHTERS BY OPHELIA SPOT

Adrenaline is rushing,
barely got through the door.
There’s no time for fussing,
we’re frenzied for more.
Decisions, decisions:
the bed or the floor?
Time is of the essence,
not wasting it with directions.
The rhythm is right, you know where to go;
continue progressing, furthering my flow.
Thought I liked taking it slow-
but hey, you never know.
I’m yours for the night,
or maybe for life.
Start you off with a slice
before I give you the whole pie.
Take it to unprecedented heights
don’t try to play it nice.
Yank my hair as you take me there
use your teeth to pull off my underwear.
You’ve lured me into your lair
I indulge in the talents you’re willing to share
this lovemaking is far beyond compare…
*
My turn to get nasty,
I’ll do whatever tickles your fancy.
Raise my brow, it’s time to get fresh.
You know what’s next-
I begin by gently nibbling on your flesh…
Love to tease while I please,
took your innocent mind and filled it with sleaze.
Lucky for me you’re eager to appease.
Gradually getting rougher,
I’m a fighter, not just a lover.
It’s getting too hot, you’ve kicked off the covers.
I savor every bit as I get deep down under…
Sampling a piece of your cake,
making the bed shake.
Swallowing you as your juices trickle,
seductive sweetness makes my insides tingle.
As I devour your cl*t, I see you bite your lip
inside you, I slide my fingertips.
Thrusting intensely
you’re c*mm*ng immensely.
Driving deeper, moaning’s louder
didn’t peg you for a shouter.
*
Now we’re mixing it up,
take your turn to be tough.
Before, you teased me with a sliver
your gaze is making me shiver.
A mere touch is overflowing my river.
Spread my legs wider…
The room is on fire,
filled with passion and desire.
Kill me with kisses, caresses, and licks
finger me hardcore, I don’t need a d*ck.
Bend me over, my favorite position;
swiftness of a fox, appearance of a vixen.
Fix me, I’m leaking-
I’m dripping, oozing, seeping
Out of every pour,
my body’s begging for more.
Head is throbbing, catching my breath;
inhaling is a struggle that I didn’t expect.
Our hearts are racing, let’s take a break.
No need for space, we’re entwined as we lay
until the next morning- it’s a new day.






FAITHFUL GRACE BY DJ FLOWERS

The light burnt out and darkness wrapped my eyes,
empty, black, gloomy, depressing darkness
When dawn came, the darkness failed to cease.

Apologies only for apologies sake, everything without meaning

Wondering when the purgatory would rescend
then just when hope was seemingly lost
a glimpse revealed itself from beyond .

And with one amazing leap into the abyss
a fleeting, eternal flame was imprinted into my soul
and with that I attached myself to grace
with a revived spirit injected with faith







LOST BY JOE PARRIS

Have you ever looked for something,
something you had but lost.
Not something you get in a coin flip or a toss.
Youth is a gift, gift wasted by young
To waste a give'n, expect to give on.
Choices we make to late to take back,
take back a choice too late for that.

Selfish by nature men old and young,
want to have it all not a give'n,
tisk tisk said the mouse, not one kiss even bloomed,
when one wants to much a soul is consumed.

Miss miss not to merry, as one story ends,
fates not with which one should contend







CHANGES BY RAYMOND PARFITT

I move from darkness into light
And leave behind the terrors of the night.
The dark clouds have now dispersed.
The Sun has found new brilliance in re-birth.
Deceit has found replacement by the truth.
Cynicism; by the innocence of youth'
Reality has taken the place of illusion.
Understanding; by that of confusion.
Defective sight has now become clear'
And courage has displaced cosummate fear.
Winter has given way to the Summer season.
For all this there can be but one reason.
The answer lies within her smiles;
Her presence; her knowing wiles!
But of these things, above
All is her tender gift of love.






CRUSHED BY M W R

He doodled with noodles on the floor,
pajama pants, shirt, institutional
stitching across his chest, the numbers
thick and black, padded walls
and lots of pills,
big men, heavy hands took him
away, away away away, his
brain was electrocuted and he
went away, poof! gone! no
more, that mindset, that self,
obliterated, water boarded over
iceburg ice, froze his self,
frozen and shattered, cooked
with electricity and injections,
back in his cell, pasta
art gone, a drooling moody
subject sits, or sat, blank walls
tell you no stories, lightbulbs
have no sunsets, vague faces
of doctors and hired muscle give no
love, in the walls, between them,
getting smaller, getting crushed,
inch by inch by millimeter,
crushed.






DAILY CHALLENGE BY BARBARA

Whether deciding to diet,
to marry, to grow,
to just live out our daily lives,
the decisions are not made just once,
for all time,
but made again and yet again.
From within our struggle to follow through,
emerges an essence,
one that fuels man's soaring spirit
and drives it further on;
such decisions become
the daily badges of courage
we have won,







LIFE IS OVER BY MICHAEL

Life is over,
the flame is out.
Feeling the cold,
and the doubt.
Here i sit,
my heart shattered.
One wish now,
that never mattered.
Love is gone,
sorrow is here.
All that's left,
is sweet despair.
Life is over,
gone forever.
Take my heart,
now or never!






YOUR LOSS BY B. W. WANGER

At the edge of the island
rocks in the sea,
waves crashing,
is where you'll find me.

Where are you, though?
You told me to be here.
You said, "our loves forever,
meet me at the pier."

I finally get it, as the moon reaches height,
the stars are shining on this beautiful night.
It's ok that you didn't make it,
I learned this lesson, with life, I'll take it.

By myself watching the moon,
a smile on my face,
laughing at you.

It's not my loss,
but your loss,
you'll see,
I thought lust was love,
and that could never be.





AS WAS BY ROBERT BENDORIS

I rarely go where I’ve never been
And never wander anywhere obscene
Where I never was and will not be
In a place obscene not meant for me

The never been where I will not go
Amidst obscene not wished to know
I’ll stay as was and how I’ll be
Where run of mill is made for me

The humdrum spot of fair mundane
Of an average place where I’ll remain
The where I’ll be to wait that day
When death arrives for a soul to stray!





PIOUS BY BRUNDABAN PANDA

Clear mind is pious,
To get divine force.
The mind is a mirror,
It reflects soul pure.
Through divine light,
The soul looks bright.
By pure juice of mind,
Soul becomes purified.
Mind's ego impurities,
Gives way to qualities.
Self realization's rise,
Turns self very wise.
Soul feels own power,
Blossoms as a flower.
On the impurities mud,
It stands as lotus bud.
With the divine light,
Lotus bloosms quite.
On divine water sea,
Mind's lotus is free.
As a beautiful scene.
Pious mind we mean.
Within peaceful area,
Provides sweet sera.
Most pious is feeling,
As devotional dealing.





BEAUTIFUL WITHIN BY RANDA FRANKLIN

I'm 5'6" and proud to be dark-skinned
A victim of unjust views; from self- centered and ignorant men
Unacceptable in their sight, due to the complexion of my skin
Having so much to offer, but you refuse to see the beauty that lies within
Feeling unworthy to be loved, Cause my skin is not the color of which you dream
Acknowledging my anger inside due to the disbelief that these men could be so arrogant which makes me want to burst out and scream
Angry about the fallacy that a dark- skinned woman is to "ugly" to be loved or respected
Finding it inappropriate that I should be hated on just because you suggest it
Feeling violated because of the "insecurities" of these arrogant men
Knowing that I am "worthy" to be loved and respected; so my beauty will "always" be reflected
Displaying poise and an abundance of grace from within.
