Stretches of Silence, Poetry by Ivina Emmanuel

Genre: Rhyme, Relationship

 With dewy-eyed dragged on
With my gaze upon
Glances brighter as the day
I caught her soul entwined in the web
But lack what to say, like a play

Even with this swift communion if a babe
Entangled in the slying- coyness
I still let her feel the beat my shyness
Trapped in the stillness of her eye

But not to let go for long
Holding onto parts rendered undone
In our vacant gazes towards the rising sun
Made more severe by the sudden bright ray shone

I know she could melt a heart as snow,
Bring me the stars if feelings were made to show
Her heart always as pure as gold
Yet, let her vanished into her fold

Would she ever feel my absence?
Would I ever catch glimpses of her presence?
Oh, would she ever cross this path again?
For I have spent years hoping forever in the rain in vain.

not me, Poetry by Jose Carlos Peliano

don’t say no, not to me
but what you mirror on me

don’t pick me up, not me
but the sky that shines in me

don’t kiss me, not me
but the flower that blossoms in me

don’t leave me, not me
but what you expects from me

don’t mourn, not me
but what you looses in me

Genre: Love and/or Compassion

Release, Poetry by Morgan Amos

 Writing is my therapeutic release

Expression through my pen

I can tell my true feelings or mask them into a story

A story of someone who is internally broken

Who hides behind a smile

Who’s careful not to let a tear fall

Writing is my therapeutic release

I can bare my soul

I can write what I am feeling when I cannot physically speak the words

Writing is my therapeutic release where I can invite you into my world whether I am feeling low or the happiest person in the world

Writing is my therapeutic release

Unleashing pent up aggression, bottled up emotions, the realization and truth regarding certain situations

Writing is my therapeutic release and forever will be, because even when I may not be able to speak, I can write down how I feel, and in doing that, find some sort of peace

 
Genre: Freedom

Traveling Heart, Poetry by Demarco Singleton

I can’t stop what has already taken flight.

I’d be killing the dream of one, but slowing down the dream of ton.
Let me explain

If a heart is already gone, how can you get it back?

It is not the fact of getting it back, but trying to jump in front of its path without turning a good heart bad.

If you continue to try to stop this heart, you are stopping its travel to happiness.

Stopping this mission will lead to a life of no forgiveness and a heart with bad intentions.

Don’t slow down the dream of ton just because this heart lose one.

Genre: Love, Romantic, Life, Rhyme

There is a bomb

that keep ticking

The wires,

start from A to Z

If I cut the wrong one,

will you explode?

A Poem to a Child, Poetry by Kriz Rogers

On the day you were born the sky was so blue,
The trees, oh, so gorgeous – each limb of them too.
Each grain of the sand felt pure joy over you:
May of all of this love your soul always be true.
Amen.

The Light of Life, Poetry by Barbara Hunt

A world filled with danger and darkness demolishing everything in its path
Happiness fleeting as time marches on destroying memories like common trash
People grow and open their eyes and see nothing but a black abyss of loneliness
A small globe of light can be seen if you look as innocent laughter fills every crack and nook
Never give up hope and open your mind for the light still shines brightly when you look in there eyes
A tidbit of evil is soon placed as they open there heart and there suffering soon behind to start
Never forget the balance of life as the forces of nature are neutral we decide our path and choose the side we believe shall suffice and hopefully we will all choose the same conclusion the path that is the glowing light

 
Genre: life, love, darkness, family, Hope, and fear

Social media, Poetry by Dasha Jennings

although it has enrich our lives with the vivid imagery

of current events taking place around us.

it’s destroying our sense of humanity at the same time.

We are so focused on who has the most likes,

that we are losing our connection to other human beings around us.

The more likes, hearts, and views we get the more addicted

we become to these sites.

It feeds your addiction for a while,

until you realize that nobody knows of your

existence nor cares,

they just know who this person is before them on this platform.

Social media is this platform where we tear each other apart,

not bring them together.

If you do not fit into the criteria,

then you are not one to show your existence on this site.

For if you do then they will tear you apart

by making the latest memes and sharing them worldwide.

Social media you’re turning everyone against each other.

For you sweet an innocent features are the reason for mass suicide

and countless families suffering worldwide.

Gemre: society and dark

Guilty Feast, Poetry by Anthony S

  “Guilty Feast”

Hollow sin-Eater searching empty roads
A barefoot traveler with bleeding soles
This hateful living for the sake of death
Your guilty feast taken and laid to rest
