Don’t…, Poetry by Eirini Spyridoula Antoniou

Don’t let regrets or second thoughts

move you through life.

Don’t let small fears guide your every step.

Don’t let small people tamper with your thoughts and feelings.

Genre: inspirational and motivational.

Don’t… by Eirini Spyridoula Antoniou

 

Don’t let regrets or second thoughts

move you through life.

Don’t let small fears guide your every step.

Don’t let small people tamper with your thoughts and feelings.

Don’t be afraid to live a positive life.

Don’t be afraid to live a different life.

Don’t be afraid when other people point

their figure at you and say

“look that someone is doing something different”.

Don’t be afraid to fully love another person.

Don’t be afraid to talk with yourself.

Don’t be afraid to have a happy ending in your life.

Don’t be afraid to be weird.

Don’t dance the dance of an ordinary life.

Our voices are clear

Our tears of sadness?
Cries of fear?
Give us comfort
Draw us near
To your light
Mother Mary sing your song

The length of a Kalpa, Poetry by Kirsten Textor

The length of a Kalpa
by Kirsten Textor

As I gaze
Out the window
A small boy
Runs by
On his scooter
For a moment
I am him

GENRE: Time 

The length of a Kalpa

by Kirsten Textor

As I gaze
Out the window
A small boy
Runs by
On his scooter
For a moment
I am him
Sun on my face
Wind in my hair
Music in my ears
Peace in my soul
The pure feeling of
A child’s freedom
Washes over me
I feel part of everywhere
A fraction of a second
Yet the length of a Kalpa

counting bricks

by lee pettengell

sitting in this cell of mine counting bricks to pass the time

800 and 9 or was it 10 shit ill  have to start again
paced the floor a 1000 times from the bed to the chair
 just aint getting any were
out the window freedom calls
across the yard over the walls
but the bars i cannote budge
freedoms there but out of touch
so its back to counting bricks again wish i could stop this silly game
but its that or think of you like i always seem to do

DAS NICHTS, Poetry by Juan Antonio Garcia

The nothingness or her illuminated face,
Heaven under a hell of mud
The place towards we move
The place where our glance turns white.

Genre: Relationship, Love

DAS NICHTS
by Juan Antonio Garcia

The nothingness or her illuminated face,
Heaven under a hell of mud
The place towards we move
The place where our glance turns white.

We are mirrors of nothing, humans
When we discern our path of silt,
We expect to see a space and a time
But we are nothing and thus we dream

Nothing is space and nothing is time
Nothing our interior neither our exterior
Beings that don´t long for anything,
They only live for laughter or for nothing.

SHACKLES OF LIFE, Poetry by Lois Terrans Bradbury

The shackles of life can tear the flesh.

Cut deep.

Silence the heart and suffocate the soul,

crush the spirit and drown all hope,

bury the love and hobble expectation,

chill the laughter and boil the hate,

twist the mind and steal imagination.

Genre: Rhyme, Life, Society

SHACKLES OF LIFE

 by Lois Terrans Bradbury

 

The shackles of life can tear the flesh.

Cut deep.

Silence the heart and suffocate the soul,

crush the spirit and drown all hope,

bury the love and hobble expectation,

chill the laughter and boil the hate,

twist the mind and steal imagination.

 

The wound goes so deep,

the scars never heal.

Memories shadowed in darkness,

fighting to be seen,

dreams shattered,

never to be born.

Cries of desperation choked,

never to be heard.

And the blood of the innocent spilled,

never to be loved.

 

The turbulence echoes like a maddening menace,

consuming any flame that dares to dance,

chasing any joy that wished to flee,

imprisoning thoughts that struggle to be free.

 

The undercurrent too strong,

the sands of life vanish,

songs of love are erased.

Passion is tormented,

tenderness is broken.

 

Music’s magic touch gone forever.

Eternity to be wrapped in blankets of pain.

Forever sorrow to reign.
