Leaving Albania by Morelle Smith
Leaving Albania by Morelle Smith My mind is peeling away from this place – separating, like two sheets of paper. Once, this place and I were stuck so close together – your time pressed against me like sun on my palm, like a thumb, like a hard coin, like a hand or a whole other […]

I Salute You , O Women! by Ms Tabzeer Yaseen
You should have an existence of your own, This is the dream that I have sown. Don’t get lost in this crowd, Do stand apart and make yourself feel proud. You always sacrifice yourself for others, Retaining many oceans of sorrows. Sometimes mother, sometimes wife, sometimes sister, Who gives her best in every character. Buried […]
I like to let the word fly about by Murali Sivaramakrishnan
I like to let the word fly about Not tied down to its meanings Like a dog on a leash And be walked on the beach. But let it prance around, flip and turn And perch on the tiniest branch Of suspense and dream In the balmy glow of a rainbow Like a crazy cormorant […]

Hunger and Thirst by Muhammad Dawood Jan
One fine day; while on my way I saw a child in sheer dismay His eyes vexed with eternal pains No flesh was left; just bones and veins A sketch of sorrow on his face As his relatives; none to embrace A homeless orphan with nothing to eat His hunger not for bread or meat […]
Here by Muralidharan Mudaliar
Here by Muralidharan Mudaliar Where Poignant words fail to provoke Where Profound thoughts fall flat Where Probing silence never interpret where solitude becomes routinous where friends tag sans bond where the pseudo trip mars the vice where work is psyche bound Oh Master Take the cash and let the credit go April 87 End of […]

Green Notes by Mrunmayi Mandan
GREEN NOTES A speedy S.U.V, drunk at midnight, Kills two and vanishes in gleaming light. Alive was the R.T.O., but lost in sleep, Could he get suspended and beg on that street? But what else can be done, When shown two notes, Ignored then ridded Off to the roads? If the driver was caught In […]

Forbidden Fruit by Mukeshkumar Raval
Now when you have landed in his arms I envy him not my love A nightingale’s faded song still echoes in my heart that the bird has untied the knot. I like a gloomy farmer stare the sky and see the dispersing clouds of hope. I stand mute like a singer whose strings of lyre […]
Days and Nights by Murali Sivaramakrishnan
1 There is a line of light that traverses the hill And bisects the valley below. All day The sun looks down at this amazing sight Where hill meets valley and breaks The fall of light and shade. Purple, grey, brown, And blue the hill radiates the ray’s fall. Until night wipes out the light […]

Crush by Muhereza Louis

Bubbles from Eternity by Muralidharan Mudaliar

Back I Go to My Prison by Ms Tabzeer Yaseen
I have locked myself in here, Why don’t I go out there? Don’t I hold my freedom dear? So, I sneak out clandestinely, To make my first move towards my family But what I see is the absence of love, compassion, warmth and humility. The streets are crowded with so many pseudo- intellectuals, Who profess […]

Whoever Comes From The Earth by Nelly Sachs
Whoever comes from the Earth reaching for the moon or other heavenly mineral flower – will soar high wounded by blasts of memory shot from the explosive burst of yearning for out of Earth’s painted night his winged prayers arise out of daily destructions seeking the inner pathways of the eyes. Craters and arid seas […]
Utopia by Ndue Ukaj
Everything is different, in the horizon the Sun is crumbled The crumbles remained on the earth’s heart like triumphant arrows. We can’t recognize the colors through the wind caressing the memory We do not read poetry in the universe of foolishness Where relations between darkness and light Appear just like relations between the wall and […]
Tumult by Nicole M Nugent

The Waist of Time by The Waist of Time

The man with the blue eye by Neelam Shah

The Emigrant by Ndue Ukaj
The Emigrant by Ndue Ukaj The Emigrant He has only questions, his answers so very timid In dirty pockets with concreted nostalgia. He has only memories that surround his neck Like the millstone they shake him one step forward and a few backward, While caressing in torrential waterfall, And kidnapping the time which he never […]

Superficially by Ndue Ukaj
