The Young maiden & The Moon

by Kathy G

In the ocean I drown as peaceful sorrows darken its waters. The angel lights a torch, then sings her song to the moon of the night sky. “Bring him home to his lover,” she calls and cries harmoniously. And so the dance begins. The tide washes in and out. Thoughts and memories fill the sky like early October fog. The beauty of the moon brightens the light of the oceans reflection. The moon and all her beauty look down at the young maiden, spiting all her miseries. In secret the moon envies the young maiden’s love and strength. The moon does not have such free will as the young and beautiful maiden. The eyes of the young girl are like crystals with the power to bring tears to any sky. As the clouds begin to leave, the moon releases the young maiden’s lover. Unfortunately, the young lover does not make it to shore to save his beloved. Instead, he returns to a saddened heart lost at sea.

My Heart

by Ron Rego 1/28/12

My heart beats for your love.
Both day and night, never gets enough.
My heart will never, ever stray.
By your side, all day and night.
My heart only wants your love.
Toshare every moment, every day.
My heart only loves you.

I THINK THEREFORE I AM

by Joey Kurian

I’m sitting on a granite step by the sea, Smoking .drinking and gazing at stars.
I am devoid of desire and drifting with the tide.
Situation good or bad will happens in quick succession in daily Life making one forget the changing seasons and how time easily passes.
I have always believed that writing is like sorcery. Like the Hero in my movie script who does not want to lead an ordinary Life. He is ambitious and keeps two women. He lives on an emotional roller coaster. My Hero believes in sucking dry the juice of Life like a leech as long as he and wants to take away life’s secret happiness, spontaneity, passion and eternal longing. In my mind I feel like my Hero. But at the end you will see my motionless body whose willpower has gone. Whose fault was it all? I have no answer as I am losing the meaning of my existence, I feel like a doomed expression, like a prisoner locked in a hidden cell.

Moving on...

by Kathy G

At first, all I wanted was you. Until, life felt the need to be cruel. Anger. Sadness.Bitterly stubborn. Madness. Feel free to yell, make haste, frighten me, and call me names. I act in impulse. Most worse. Not fair, but I did love you and love you dearly I still do. Love this? I do not. Happiness is all I ask, yet all I get is a most miraculous past. Forever. I know is a long time. But memories are forever and in some ways or more you will always be mine. Keep the part of my heart which you stole. It was meant yours first and shall never get old. My one and only hope is that you never forget. We tried, and tried. So baby don't fret, for now, what's not meant. I close my eyes and pray for strength to carry me across the plank. Into the sea, my old life goes. Out of the water, a new life grows. ♥

Help Me

by Surya

Someday
I will find
The Whole world around me

I see
Darkness
Loneliness and despair

Can't you
Help me
Not sure what to do

Help me
Stop from
Falling into never

Someday
Your heart
Can show me the light

Window

by Sayantan

Sitting by my side
myself is blaming me.
Drinking evry drop of light,
darkness is craving me.
I wanted to run away,
but the doors are closed.
I threw my heart away,
and the body follows.
But the lonelyness is pulling me,
And my body stucked hard.
The metal frame is eating me
the bones tear apart..

Now the darkness is fucking the light
the walls starts to move.
my heart is feeling the height,
I am the one confused...

Looking away
from the cry.
I see the sky
The birds those fly,
the grass so green,
and the girl so shy..
the beauty outside
and the love so high...

When i turn around,
my room was filled with pain,
I wanted to scream loud,
but evry scream was is vain..

I found envy
sitting by my side.
where there ws myself
now that he hide.
There is loneliness
all over the walls.
There is darkness,
from the roof it falls.
There is sorrow,
there is jealousy.
the room so narrow,
and the blood so glossy...

Fading up moments by moment,
I stole my sight.
I found my heart in the pavement.
Dusty, lying aside.
But it was filled with happiness,
there was no sorrow.
I was sitting inside,
As i am looking through a window ...........
