VALENTINE

Seven billion beating hearts breathe life into this world, but only
love can cause the stars to shine;
It doesnt matter if we are young or old, rich or poor, we all have
that one special valentine.

Some people can take a lifetime to find love, whilst others can fall
at the very first sight;
When you walk alone the skies appear to be dark, but with love in
your heart the stars will always be shining out bright.

Most of us will have a case of the ex, wasted years and a broken
memory;
But we shouldnt want to alter our past,
As its what made you, you,
And its what made me, me

Valentines Day isnt all sunshine & rainbows, so I will pour some
alcoholic ink over this verse in dedication to all who have loved
ones that are no longer here;
To all those broken reflections, that can no longer hold their love
near.

Some people will try and find a message at the bottom of a bottle,
whilst others will try and send a letter up to heaven, but its just so
far from the ground to the sky;
Love can leave you stuck living in the past, if you never had a
chance to say your goodbye.

So if you have found love then hold on to it tightly, and never let it
go;
You only get one shot at life, so wear your heart on your sleeve, and
dont be afraid to put your feelings out on show.

Love can lift you up high, as butterflies float on cloud number nine;
So I will seal this letter with a kiss, and send it with love,
to that special valentine.

BARRY MOWLES 2012



TURN TO STONE
This February the 14
th
I will have no valentine to send my love to, my
passion is now many miles away;
Why did I ever trust you, I even ignored what my gut feeling was
trying to say.

Dear Lord, why does every heart I touch always turn to stone;
This wasnt how I pictured my life, sat here crying into the darkness
all on my own.

Endless nights staring into space waiting for an answer to fall from
the skies;
People tell me I must move on, but its just so hard to see my future
through these teary eyes.

I can visit any doctor in the world, but there is no medication to heal
a broken heart;
How can I ever sleep, when even my dreams have fallen apart.

I remember this lonely feeling, each day has now turned into
another dj vu;
I try desperately to lose these feelings, as I beg my heart to try and
start moving on from you.

All of a sudden the stars have disappeared, as the sun slowly loses
all of its shine;
Friends tell me my heart will soon heal, but it will just take some
time.

I know they want the best for me, but they really couldnt ever
understand or know;
How can I ever feel complete, when my other half has packed away
to go.

My life is now on pause, I even wanted this love to share my name;
If only I knew what I had done so wrong, I would have happily taken
the blame.






So this valentines day instead of writing in a card, I am writing this
letter sat here all on my own;
Dear Lord why does every heart I touch,
always turn to stone.



DEDICATED TO WAYNE MARTIN

FALL IN L.O.V.E

We spend our entire lives searching for love, out of 6 billion people
we have to somehow find just one;
Years are spent walking around in the darkness, searching for a
warmth that is only ever comparable to the sun.

Some people throw these 4 letters around to quickly, endless nights
spent listening to fakes tell their lies;
But once they have used you, they just pack up and say their
goodbyes.

Heartbreak can hit you like a hurricane, squeezing your lungs free
from air;
For a broken heart there is no medicine, an emotional pain for which
nothing else could ever compare.

The legendary Bob Marley once wrote, Truth is everyone is going to
hurt you, you just got to find the ones worth suffering for;
Finding love can flip reverse your entire life, turning your ceiling into
your floor.

Love can stretch across the world, for true love there is nothing that
we would not do;
Its crazy how 3 simple words can alter your destiny, just by simply
hearing someone whisper I love you.

Love can make new memories, when you close your eyes you can
immediately picture their face;
Memories can last for an eternity, reminding you of your first kiss,
the date, the time and the place.

Love can make you float like a butterfly, but love can also sting you
like a bee;
No matter where you are in life, we will all end up in the place we
were always destined to be.







Love can only work if your reflection shines back two, sometimes
you have to just sit there and watch love walk away;
No matter how much you cry, no matter how much you wish, you
can never rewind time back to Yesterday.

Love can overwhelm your heart, quickly turning into an obsession;
Without your love to guide you, your life can suddenly sink into a
pitch black depression.

Its the little things in life which can ignite a love to fall;
It doesnt matter if you are rich or poor, old or young, true love will
one day find us all.

A true love never really dies, it stays with us even when our souls
rise above;
We are all destined to make our dreams come true, just as we are
all destined to someday fall in love.

LETTER FROM HEAVEN

I met my wife to be back in the year of 1941;
I had just come back from Normandy, you were assigned to be my
nurse, after I was shot down by that Germans Lugar gun.

You nursed me back to health by simply using your smile;
We use to walk and talk for ages, holding each others hands, each
and every single mile.

The War still rages as my calendar hits 1944, that is until mankind
released Hiroshimas atom bomb;
I maybe an English lion, but thinking to the future, I can only see
that ending as wrong.

1945, the war has finished, we move back to the country, and we
got married in the month of September;
Thinking back now as an old grey man, we made memories that
year, memories that an eternity will remember.

Its 1962 now, my beautiful wife has just given birth to my first son,
we are complete just watching him grow;
Today a famous actress died, Norma Jeane Baker, or I say Marilyn
Monroe.

1963 Is a year I would rather forget, my tears still fall as I remember
it was the year my baby boy caught a rare illness and tragically
passed away;
It rocked our lives and part of me died that year, it was on the same
month a mystery man shot JFK.

The year passed, my wife fights her night terrors, which soaked our
sheets in fear;
I would lay awake all night, stroking her hair and wiping away her
tear.





1964 was mostly spent walking hand in hand on the beach, making
each other smile, which makes me feel so alive;
We sit in the Caf for coffee, whilst a black and white TV shows us
a new Motown group, named the Jackson 5.

In 1965 our leader and icon Winston Churchill dies as my reflection
shows me a man starting to get grey;
My wife still looks so beautiful, she can brighten up any darkened
day.

Today our fellows across the pond landed on the moon;
My skin is starting to feel wrinkly, in fact my face now represents a
prune.

The next 10 years are spent living like we were living in a fairy tale;
My wife and I are soul partners, a team which could never fail.

1977 as the king of rock dies, a film called Star Wars hits the silver
screen;
I adore my wife with all my heart, even after all these years, she is
still the prettiest lady the world has ever seen.

Its 1980, the news bulletins ring out John Lennon has died, shot
whilst his poor wife was a witness to see;
In 1981 another true musical legend passes away from Cancer, this
time its the charismatic Bob Marley.

My wife is flicking through the holiday brochures in 1986, her dream
has always been to go on a Caribbean cruise;
I say maybe next year my dear, then we will have more money to
choose.

If I had only known time waits for no man, as my life crashes down
in 1987;
My beautiful wife had caught the Cancer, and now she lives as an
angel up in heaven.

The year lasted forever, making just one cup of tea, sometimes I
forget and keep making you breakfast in an empty bed;
How can I say goodbye to my life, I just wish it was me who was
dead.



I try to ease my pain by walking by the sea;
I reach out my hand to hold yours, but I am alone, our past has
become just a distant memory.

Your side of the bed is empty, your clothes all hung up nice and
neat;
I feel only half the man I use to be, I guess the word would be
incomplete.

Sat there is an empty chair, every time I glance over my heart starts
to fall;
Its 1989 now, the year which means the collapse of the Berlin wall.

When I stroll along the beach now its so quiet, no sound apart from
the waves crashing down in the sea;
I sit in the same caf we used to have coffee, but this time they
have a colour TV.

Our house is dead quiet now, night times are the worse, and there is
just too much space in our double bed;
My dreams replay our entire lifetime, and echo out the last words
that you and I had said.

You told me that you loved me, I replied that I love you to;
Then you closed your eyes for the last time, as I reached over to
give my goodbye kiss to you.

The reflection in the mirror now shows me a broken grey man who
always feels the cold;
Its 1995 now, its my birthday today, I am 82 years old.

The years are spent alone now, no New Years Eve parties as Big
Ben welcomes in 1997;
This is the year Princess Diana passed away, I hope she is at peace
now along with my wife and son, watching over us from heaven.

The winter of 98 seemed be stuck in a winter freeze, which felt like
it would never end;
I feel the warmth of angels, with messages of my wife they send.



I dream of my wife each time I fall asleep, if Im honest I dont want
to ever wake up from my dream;
I can even see heaven, its the most wondrous sight my eyes have
ever seen.

Its new years eve of 99, my pulse starts to fade as my chest feels
real tight;
I feel myself drifting away, towards a glowing guiding light.

I see my Wife, her eyes melt me back into two;
I whisper I am coming my love, you reply we have been waiting
for you.

My time on this world is over, my autopsy will read, time of death
11:11;
I have to leave you all now, as I finish writing you my goodbye letter
from heaven.

WITHOUT YOU

They say behind every successful man, stands a lady, making all of
your dreams come true;
The sun would stop shining, the stars would lose their glow, if I ever
had to live my life without you.

Without you there to hold my hand, I couldnt even walk, let alone
write;
Without you feeding my courage, I would lose my will to fight.

Without you in my life, my body would be left with nothing, except
maybe a fragile beating heart;
Without you guiding me to my destiny, I wouldnt be almost there, I
would be right back at the very start.

Without you time would stand still, as everyone moves forward I
would be left behind;
Without you I would be lost searching for a replacement, which I
know I would never find.

Without you I couldnt breathe, without you I would still be
scratching away at my external grave in the ground;
Without you music would lose its beat, and the world would lose its
sound.

Without you there to catch me I would still be falling through the
sky;
Without you I would lose my angel wings, without you I wouldnt
have learnt how to fly.

Without you my days would be lonely, facing the night time of
darkness all on my own;
Without you this house is just bricks filled with memories, without
you I wouldnt know where to call my home.









Without you my dreams would turn into nightmares, without you the
skies wouldnt be so blue;
They say behind every successful man stands a lady, and standing
behind me, is you.

CLOUD 9

The butterflies are still beating their wings, making me drift closer
and closer to you;
My love for you is growing, thank you god, for helping me find a love
so true.

I feel like the luckiest man alive, forget winning the lottery, money
could never buy me this feeling I have inside of my heart;
I think last night whilst I was sleeping, cupid sneaked into my
dream and shot me with his dart.

I would walk the 400 miles to you without a doubt, and when my
legs ache I wouldnt even complain;
You must be a doctor, as when I speak to you and hear those words,
I no longer feel in pain.

My life has now turned into a day dream, I am up on cloud 9;
You have made me the happiest man on the planet, I am all yours
and you are all mine.

My past may have been so low, but I know with you my future can
float up so high;
I can promise you one thing already, I am going to love you until the
day that I die.


BARRY MOWLES 2011
















LOVE AND CHERISH

The earth has stopped spinning, the sun seems to now be just
permanently stuck in the sky;
For I have found my destiny, and I will now never feel alone when I
cry.

I will never take this love for granted, I will treat her as if she were
royalty, she will not feel like a Princess but more like a Queen;
I am so happy as I am with the most beautiful lady that I have ever
seen.

Before I met you my heart had just turned itself into ice, it made me
feel so empty and cold;
But your love has truly melted me, you dont have to try and sell
yourself to me, for I am already sold.

Ive found my movie love, the sort you only see on the cinema
screen;
You make my life seem so simple, somehow you have made me
forget all of the pain that I have ever seen.

I had built up a barrier around me that I thought was as strong as
solid steel;
All it took was one smile from you and it collapsed, I wish you could
see just how much love I now feel.

We get on so well, its as if we have been together forever, I am
lying here thinking just how I ever lived my life without you guiding
my life;
Now my fate has finally found you, I know you are the lady who will
be my future Wife.

When the vicar says I now pronounce you Husband and Wife I will
probably feel so happy I will want to burst out to cry;
I will whisper in your ear softly as we kiss I am going to love and
cherish you until the day that we die.

BARRY MOWLES 2011



WIFEY

I thank you for being you, I thank you for all you have done for me,
your love truly saved my life;
I thank you for the best year ever, and I thank you for being my wife.

You are my guardian angel, you simply stop me from falling down;
In my eyes you are a Princess, just living your life without a crown.

I love you with all my heart, so much more than this ink could ever
explain;
You must have been a nurse in a past life, as no matter what my
illness you simply ease my pain.

19 months ago we first met, 76 weeks nearly to the day;
In 532 days we have achieved so much, 12,768 hours its been,
since 2008 the 31
st
of May.

I would do anything for you, I will protect and keep you safe for the
rest of your life;
A year ago I asked you to marry me, and now you are my beautiful
loving wife.


BARRY MOWLES 2011
















MY BEST FRIEND

No matter what you have my back, my heart is yours, not just for a
lend;
You are my soul partner, the part that completes me, and youre
also my best friend.

It took me years to find you, and now that I have there is no letting
go;
You gave me wings so I could fly high, instead of dragging my feet
down onto the streets below.

After all these years together, we still chat and talk like we were
back on our very first day;
I remember the very first moment I kissed you, it was on Saturday
the 31
st
of May.

That was 3 years ago now, 1095 days of love that will now always
guide and shape my life;
Thats why you are not only my best friend, you are also my
beautiful, loving Wife.

You are the perfect role model for our Daughters to become;
You hold everything together as a wife, and you are always there for
your children as a Mum.

This poem is dedicated to my Wife, and with this letter my love I will
send;
I thank you for inspiring me, and I thank you for being my best
friend.

THE MOON & STARS

I close my eyes trying to contact the heavens, through these verses
is the only way I can try to speak to my Nan;
I wish I could see into the future, so I could examine my blueprints
of Gods master plan.

Nan am I going to make it, am I really going to make you and our
family proud;
I keep dreaming of you, seeing youre angelic face upon a cloud.

Am I following the right path, is writing these letters really what I
am destined to do;
In life are we only ever granted one wish, or is there a secret in
making each and every one of my dreams come true.

I wanted to tell you that you were right, this heart of mine has made
me stronger than 1000 men;
I know a man isnt supposed to cry, but I would give anything just to
see you again.

There were so many things I wish I had the chance to say;
Why cant I conquer time travel, reversing the years back to
Tuesday the 20
th
of May?

Why did the heavens take someone so special, why do tears still fall
on to the page each time that I write your name;
Why have my tears turned into ink, flooding across this page like
rain.

If I could turn back the hands of time I would hug you, and try to
explain just how special you are;
Without you watching over me in life, I would have never made it
this far.

When I close my eyes to write, I feel you standing by my side;
I can almost feel you wiping away my tears, each time that I cried.







You truly are my guardian angel, I may write these letters but its
only you who taught these verses how to fly;
I watch this letter float up towards the moon & stars, as I whisper
out goodbye.





BARRY MOWLES 2011


DEDICATED TO MY NAN, MARION MOWLES
































FIRST KISS

The dawn of a new era has begun, its Saturday the 31
st
of May,
2008;
An unavoidable chain of events has brought me to this moment in
time, some would call it destiny, and some would call it fate.

Today I am leaving my home town, for I have fallen in love with an
angel who I havent even met;
Nerves are overwhelming my heart, but if I dont leave today I will
have to live with a lifetime of regret.

The taxi drops me at the bus station, just as the blue skies welcome
the rising sun;
I take a deep breath as I step on to the coach, the first day of my
destiny has finally begun.

The coach pulls away as I stare out the window, but there is nobody
waiting to wave me goodbye;
As the coach leaves my home town in the distance, I swallow the
lump in my throat so that I do not cry.

With each minute that passes my future gets closer, as my past just
moves further away;
The butterflies in my stomach show no sign of softening, which
spells out that the nerves are here to stay.

I try to calm myself down, as I hear the thumping sound of my
heartbeat;
My head is resting on the window, as white lines flash before my
eyes, staring at a continual blur of road markings, down there on the
street.

Its starting to all feel so real now, as a new city skyline up ahead
means that I am almost there;
After hours of sitting still, my bum has become glued to this chair.







The coach pulls up into the station, through the glass I see an
angel, but the tinted windows mean that she cannot yet see me;
Heaven has sent me an angel, re-sculpting my destiny.

Jellied legs step off the coach, as a soft voice breaks through the
silence, whispering are you okay;
I tried to talk, but for the first time in my life an angelic beauty
had taken my breath away.

The heavens had sent me an angel to share a life changing moment,
far too precious to ever miss;
Just then the world around us moved in slow motion, as we leant
forward, and shared our first kiss.

---x---


Somebody much wiser than me once said, If you havent found
somebody worth dying for, then you havent really lived, only now
do I realize just what they meant;
Angels walk amongst us every day, but this one was Heaven sent.

CRASH
(PART ONE)

My eyes open on a new day, its Wednesday the 11
th
of November,
2009;
As I open up our curtains, I am welcomed by the cold winter
sunshine.

I turn around to see my Wife smiling, we have now been married for
7 years to the day;
High school sweethearts since we were 15 years old, best friends in
each and every single way.

Years spent together, as I grew from a boy into a man;
We made memories full of happiness, since the very first moment
that our love began.

Holding hands for an eternity, stuck in a reflection which always
shone back two;
Heaven truly did send me an angel, secretly disguised as you.

I whisper you stay wrapped up warm, whilst I go to the shop, and
bring you an anniversary breakfast in bed;
As she whispers out her loving goodbye, I lean down and softly kiss
her forehead.

As I get into my freezing car I glance up to the bedroom window, to
see my beautiful Wife waving me goodbye;
I blow a kiss towards my angel, as she pretends to catch it from the
sky.

I put the radio on to keep me company as I drive, a never ending
love is now responsible for putting this smile on to my face;
My destiny has brought me to this single moment in time, a destiny
for which I would never replace.






The icy roads are empty, as my radio speakers play out Eric
Clapton singing tears in heaven;
A shiver runs down my spine, as the dashboard clock reads out the
time, 11:11.

Just then my wheels lock, my car skids violently across the black
ice hidden on the road;
My car starts to flip and roll off the tarmac, as the ground got darker
the skies above me glowed.

With each roll the car makes another memory of my life flashes me
by;
I feel my tears fall as I scream to the heavens, please dont take
me, I dont want to die.

My car comes to a rest on its roof, as I tremble out a lost goodbye
towards my love;
I feel an angel rest their hand on my shoulder, as my soul starts to
rise up into the heavenly blue skies above.

As I climb higher and higher into the sky, I watch on as my car
ignites into flames, turning my dreams into ash;
It was never my destiny to live, it was always my destiny to crash.

CRASH II
(PART TWO)

My eyes open into a new day, its Wednesday the 11
th
of November,
2009;
I see my loving Husband open up our bedroom curtains, as I am
welcomed to another morning by the cold winter sunshine.

A sweet smile glows across my face, as today is our 7 year
anniversary;
I rub my hands across my stomach, as through my mind are ideas
for our unborn babies nursery.

High school sweet hearts since we were 15 years old, he truly is my
best friend in each and every single way;
I cant believe he is going to be a Daddy, its my secret anniversary
gift, which I finally get to tell him today.

Years spent together, as I grew from a girl in to a Wife;
Years filled with happy memories, alongside my soul partner, my
destiny, my life.

We will hold hands for an eternity, our reflection will now always
shine back two;
Heaven really did send me a guardian angel, an angel secretly
hidden inside of you.

You whisper for me to stay wrapped up warm, whilst you drive to
the shop and treat me to a lovely breakfast in bed;
I whisper youre so sweet my darling, as he leans over to softly
kiss my forehead.

I stand up by the bedroom window, waving my Husband goodbye;
I see him blow me a kiss through the window screen, as I pretend to
catch it flying through the sky.

I watch him drive off down our street, until his car rolls out of sight;
I climb back into my warm bed to finish this book Ive been reading,
its all about a boy, who had a DESTINY TO WRITE.




As I read I smile, I cant wait to tell my Husband that he is going to
be a Dad;
I remember I have an anniversary card hidden in my drawer, so I
sign it
To the greatest Husband, any Wife ever had.

I jump up, as the radio alarm goes off, Eric Clapton is singing
Tears in heaven;
A shiver runs down the length of my spine, as my alarm clock shines
out the time, 11:11.

A feeling sinks through my body like a stone, a gut feeling that
something has gone wrong;
The hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, as the radio alarm
starts playing out our wedding song.

I try to ring his mobile phone, but for some reason all I hear is a
dead tone;
My palms start to sweat, my heart starts to melt, as I plead to the
ceiling, please dont leave me on my own.

Just over an hour has passed since he left, as I pace the bedroom
carpet, running to the window each time that I hear a passing car;
Questions constantly running through my mind, why has he been
gone so long, the shops arent even that far.

I continue to wear out the bedroom carpet until I hear a car pull up,
my heart skips a beat, as I breathe thank god he is alive;
I run towards the bedroom window, but my heart begins to fall, as I
see a police car pulled up into my drive.

An over whelming surge of heartache pulls me helpless to the floor;
Teardrops start to burst, as
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK,
Echoes from my front door.







I swallow the lump growing in my throat, and tremble my way down
each stair;
Dread flows through my body, whatever the policemen want to say,
I do not want to hear.

My shaking, shivering hand opens the door, as a soft consoling
voice says can we please come in;
My heart starts to cry, if life was a race, then I was never destined
to win.

Tears overwhelm my face, as I cry out, PLEASE, JUST TELL ME, IS
MY HUSBAND DEAD;
The walls around me all cave in, as through my teary eyes, I see
them nod their head.

Pain courses through my veins, as my dreams disappear in a flash;
It was never my destiny to be happy,
It was always my destiny to crash.



THE END

ALL OR NOTHING
ARCHNA PANT 2012

Love.....
An enchantress !
a fickle joy
Beautiful....resplendent
A glittering night in her bridal delight
twinkling stars
diamond pendant on her bosom
shining bright
Seducing senses !

Love ......
An unquenchable thirst !
in the searing desert of life
parched soul ...
withered hopes
blistered emotions
running amok
seeking oasis of tenderness.
Love like a sparkling river...
a little afar.....
beckons .....entices
Desires run stark....unabashedly
only to find
an illusion..... a mirage !

Love.....
A wildfire !
a spark unleashed ...flaring up
passions fanning passions
raging mad
wild leaping flames...
glowing yellow red like molten sun
burning dementedly
frenzied ...







spread insanely
blazing all that is inside
beautiful and tender
razing all to nothingness !

Love ....
Desire....Passion
Ecstasy..... Agony
Joy ..... Torture
Life...... Death
All and Nothing !

WITH YOU ALONE
ANN CARRUTH DONOGHUE 2012

words softly spoken,
dreams carried on the wind,
absolved from past transgressions,
you care not that I've sinned,

we're meeting in the middle,
there is no higher ground,
you've raised me to your level,
don't allow me to look down,

I've shown you glimpses of my soul,
you took it in your stride,
offered me your shoulders,
though you knew I rarely cried,

saw beneath the tough facade,
the face I show the world,
peeled away the seven veils,
exposed the dips and curves,

veiwed me at my worst and best,
saw the truth when others guessed,
never judged or patronised,
my angel in a human guise,

I feel your strength I hold it close,
you've seen the scars I hide from most,
I hope you know how much you mean,
with you alone I dare to dream.......

OUT WALKING
REENA PRASAD 2012


I walk along the lane
with thoughts of olden days
My feet keep pace with rushing blues
My eyes wander
yet I stay
still at that place
where I stopped once for you.
Giving up this ghost of rushing life
my soul lifts my feet
above the reality that creaks
everytime I stop and seek.
Something elusive, something bold
still keeps me in its hold
The rain that poured one summer day
drenches me with its
warmth today.
The sign board still flashes
The road is Under repair
though I know better
it never existed ever.
A narrow footpath of hope
lined with hopeful flowers
once started from a ramshackle inn
now leads to an extinct bower.
Those foot falls of lost time still echo
some fragile dreams run for cover
lest they see realitys tall shadows
toppling imaginations shaky towers .



And I walk alone in peace
happy for I never picked
A blooming flower from those dales
though the wind tempts me even today.
Joyful for the valley sprouts,
fresh blossoms for younger hearts
The virgin buds still nod and wave
They know the sacrifices that only love makes
They know that teardrops wash my soul
when stinging drops taunt from above
Friends from my lonely walks, tell him
that I dropped a tear in love's lap
but not before the twilight frays
Not before they seal my grave.

AMAZING SHE IS (MIRANDA)
MARIO PEREZ 2012

She is amazing, she awesome.
She beautiful like a flower that blossom.
Beautiful eyes and smiles, she got some..
She takes my breathe like I have no lung.
She shines bright then the sun.
I'm the lucky one!!!
No girls get close to her, none.
She is the most beautiful angel that God has done.
She has me speechless like I lost my tongue.
Her eyes are like the stars everybody wishes upon.
When I'm in here space, I lost the breath I was on.
I stare in her eyes and I swear it's forever long.
Her heart beat and mine,beat along.
I wonder if we belong?
I know we are young, and everything we do is wrong.
I feel like October because I been Falling all long.
Let me down easy like a verse on a love song

TO CATCH A FOX
DR SAYANTAN GUPTA 2012

The greenish blue hills
Under the azure canopy of a cloudless sky
Echoed the peals of juvenile laughter.
Children laughing as they ran.
They ran up and down, up and down,
Over the green expanse
Of the undulating plain.
One started singing.
The others took up the refrain,
To catch a fox and put him in a box,
And never let him go
They sang as they ran.
A lone hawk glided overhead.

I gazed intently into the doe-like eyes,
Eyes so deep, so clear, so amazing
The face unblemished, so lively,
With lips like petals of rose
And as fragrant.
I cupped the face in my hands
And gazed and gazed
Trying to imprint it
In my memory, my consciousness,
My entire being
Before I went.
I wanted to capture the image in my heart
And keep it for my own
Forever and forever.

The children laughed as they ran.
They sang as they ran.
To catch a fox and put him in a box
And never let him go

TRAPPED IN YOUR LOVE
LONNIESHA FLOETPOET JACKSON 2012


As the blood runs through my veins, the more I want you
I love you, you are the most important person in my world
Even when you aren't around, I am surrounded by your love
Your love is deep in the air, I must breathe it to survive
Your heart is bigger than it's temple
So caring you are, I am beyond smitten with you
I crave you, for you are my eternal love
I think of you twenty four seven
Nothing else on my mind
You and your love is all I need
If I were lost in the deepest of woods
Knowing your love is waiting for me
I could find my way home
No matter where I go, you are always near
I love you baby and I will never leave
I can't and couldn't if I tried
For I am trapped, in your love

RISKING YOUR HEART
ANGELA NICHOLS 2012

There is an art
To risking your heart
Before you are done
You will know that you have one

I believe this is true
(From my point of view)
It starts in the mind
When someone is kind

Some people wear their hearts on their sleeve
And some are just too good to believe
So when you think youve met the one
There is a test you need to run

Their passion needs to focus on you
So no matter what you do
Dont just hold your heart in your hands
Because if it isnt caught and lands

On the ground and gets stomped flat
You should always remember that
You are not stupid because you cared
Its just that your feelings were not shared

So pick it up, dust it off
And my advice, please do not scoff
Those flat spots; Polish them
They are the facets of a gem

And someday, somewhere, somehow
Even though you dont see it now
Someone will take great pleasure
In your very valuable treasure




Like a masterpiece it is meant to be
Exhibited; lovingly
At the moment you may be lonely
But that is better than if only

VALENTINE
MALAYA ROSES 2012

At the very first hello, I was missing you
Again, at your bow; enthralling waylay
An absolute attraction
Affection was made to real
Single mystery over the clouds of nay
Flatten, crushed by the browns eyes
Sparkling love
Be with you
Liberty dies.

Thinking over the unruffled blood and tears
Love shall survive
Beautiful
Devotion in human was seeking truth
Adorable
Love was flourishing the broken faith
Being with you
Passion was the submission
Grasp the whole me
Fascination
I wrote the name all over my chest
Riveting love
Yours !!!!!

Only love
I said your name
Weld the only sincerity
Only you
Carved upon my skinless love
Fatal upon the last flare
Flaming love
Real on your surreal
I was caught up
Worn me out
Roses were there




Twisted words of passion
Deserved or reserved

On the yesteryear Valentine
Molded lips over the same love
Craze in your faded truthful candles
It was never a beautiful satisfaction.

HEARTS DEFYING TIME
DiANNE EBEJER 2012

Hearts defying time
we didn't know
We were light
Choking on hello
No conversation
Counting years
Sailing back
On forgotten tears
Misty memories
In the wind
Trains to nowhere
Where we had been
Standing silently
Me and you
Strangers now
The day is through....

LOVING DREAM
LYNDA FERRER 2012


A beautiful romance,
a continuous blessing,
only you and I ,
traveling together,
in a voyage of expressions .

I said, I love you,
you correspond,
I feel you so deeply,
you see me inside.

We share our hearts,
we bond our souls,
you stare at my eyes ,
I write you a poem.

You float in the air,
as I sing you a tune ,
we dance over white clouds,
and fly to the bright moon.

You speak to me softly,
I listen to your whispers,
you recite a poem,
my heart tenderly listens.

I glance at your eyes,
you smile with emotion,
you tenderly say "I love you",
what a momentum devotion.











You praise my tender skin, my soft, brown eyes
,you tell me Im beautiful, I feel so alive.

A romance like this, was always my means,
all these magical expressions,
conclude a woman's eternal dream.

LOTUS CHILD
ANGEL MEREDITH 2012


Sitting alone by a pond
She cries
Watching
The white lotus
Floating out to the center.

Ask her why?
She doesn't speak
To the young man.

The lotus flower turns
To a pale blue shade,
The petals remain closed.

A second man asks as well,
The flower shifts color
The petals morph
Blue to pink, and tighten again.

A third approaches,
He sits beside her
Takes her hand to console.

The sun begins to set
He remains all night,
Sitting, holds close her sobs.

The dawn breaks open
The petals take on a bright red hue,
Opening a hidden treasure.

He wades into the water
Brings the flower back to shore.







Unbuttoning her blouse,
She reveals
The empty place in her chest.

The lotus gently rests
In the bowl of his hands
Now a deep purple.

The petals fully open
She sits very still
The man places her heart
In its hiding place. .
It begins beating feverishly.
Her chest rises and falls,
The color returns to her cheeks
As the sun rises in his eyes

THE MUSE
SATIN-DESEREE M ARNETT 2012


I will keep you and you shall be my museand our love will be
forever perfect in my eyes
Together we will soar through lost space and stolen time taking
memories as we go
I shall follow you till the ends of the earth and you the same for I
We will wrap ourselves in sheets of passion and pages of eternal
time
One chapter, two lives paths crossed in a fantasy woven by simple
words
A fairy tale of a reality, sought out to capture the hearts of lovers in
far off times
Our story is sweet with a twist of a bitter to wet the lips
moistened by the kiss of your pen
With your ink my thoughts shall never thirst again for my pages
will be filled with inspiration
As long as you and I breathe the same air whispers of poetry shall
fill my soul with laughter
For fate cannot be deterred nor can it be unsettled will; shall
have its way in the end
Carved in stone shall be our adventurenever again alone
I am not doing this without you She cries out, fallen on gentle
ears
So I will keep you and you shall be my muse and forever our love
will be perfect in my eyes

I WISH
SANTOSH AKHILESH 2012


I wish
I had a life where I could experience the joy of giving.
A real one, not the fake.

I wish
I had given up everything I had
To thank you enough, for giving me so much.
All the love and those tears to get my attention.

I wish
I could eat up all my lust and come back to you.
For just one innocent hug, my dear son.

I wish
I could answer the question you asked me that day;
And I kept quiet , weighing the consequences.

I wish
I could tell you how much my heart cried with a smile on its face.
When I saw you happy, my lost love.

I wish
I had lied to save you, my friend.
When I chose to speak the truth for a change.

I wish
I could say goodbye to all;
with a hope to come back with nothing else
but courage to speak up and face the truth.

LOVE IN THE PARK
MADHUMITA GHOSH 2012


Love in the Park
Leaves that lovers leave unnoticed
yellow brown or fiery red
a chequered carpet beneath their feet
they come dancing down
from woody arms outstretched
against the sky
whisper tales of many a nestling
a fledgling learning to explore the sky
little beaks opening rosy mouths
in a green haven of love
mother and baby
swaying in a cradle of breezy bliss.

Love that lovers leave behind
in leaves trampled
yellow brown and crushed
a carpet soiled
empty paper packets and plastic coffee cups
a montage of hopes born
or dreams dying
as night yawns lonely under an indifferent sky.

The air resonates to a chorus of greetings
a radiant sun kissing the verdant blooms
leaves yellow and brown are swept away
pairs of eager hopeful feet
rest on a new layered carpet
as fledglings fly the nest
to explore the vast limitless sky.


MADHUMITA GHOSH 2012

LOVE IN THOUGHTS
JEZEBELLE LEE 2012

I have dreamt of you on my silent nights
On my days with the sun
Your face glows at a distance

I have loved you through all my days with sunsets
So i can wait again for you on sunrise

Trailing me on my journey
Seeing you every step of the way

I am kissing you in every raindrop
Lost in those clouds of gray

You are the sun in my summers
The hues of those falling leaves
Snowflakes that glisten
On a white, serene earth

You are my colored butterflies in spring,
Roses and tulips swaying with the winds

To be wrapped up with your love
is the warm coat for me on cold nights

Why only love me in thoughts?
Tell me for all its worth?
Love me now like never before

Here and in thoughts
For me the warmest cloth

I have loved you before i even saw you..
You haunted my dreams....
Your shape a form of shadow






Loving you is not only an impulse
I desire you to be close
Stay away from a flimsy shield
It only engulfs and fades you

Come out with me to wait for the sunshine
Welcoming every morning

So i can kiss you again
Under the falling rain

IF YOU SOW SEED OF LOVE,
MAKE IT GROW A TREE
MOINAK DUTTA 2012

So good it feels to see you thus
Yellow saree covered...
No doubt you're a beauty
From sleep just woken, my sweetest bud!

O how you walk the road
Sending ripples all the way
My heart is turned into fast-vibrating mode
By your beauty thus on display!

Your yellow flowery flow
With so much fragrance enhanced
Seed of passion only sow
Deep into my barren desert sands...

Hope that you will take care
Of the seed, and to it see,
With your sweetest rainy shower
Helping it to spread like a full grown tree!

From your flower comes the seed
In your sweetness my love you breed...
If you thus passion sow,
Hope you'll make it only grow!

HOPE
KANCHAN CHATTERJEE 2012

There's still some place left,
just enough for a sparrow
to sit and sing.

And in that space
dew drops still fall,
on the green grass blades.

And in that virgin space
nobody has caste a glance yet
still fresh,
just enough for your two feet.

Come Maya,
I'm waiting.

JUST WORDS
DENISE MARIE FISHER 2012

Those words came forth with so little effort,
I wondered if he knew, what he had said.
Sentiments tripped easily from his lips.
I acted but the ingnue, and bled
my feelings on the page, with fervent hope
hed understand the depth of my desire.
Three syllables seem easy, but I groped
for the words, as if on trail by fire,
gasping for breathe and wondering when my
voice would utter my hearts innuendos.
Overcome, this inability cried
to the one my quiet love supposed

I love you, again, whispered willingly.
My caution, again, whispered ill in me.

UNDERCURRENT
PAMELA CLARKE VANDALL 2012

A heron curls a page
of sky. A slow curve comes
round without end. A ghost
of feathers drops pebbles
in sea, echoes for miles.
Wings silhouette sky. Plumes
of smoke settle along
rocky shores. Water creeps
up my thighs, threads brine
in crags of light. Cold
kisses peels skin back
in silver breath with soft
chant of tide. I am sun
sinking in copper tides,
where moon pulls me inside.
Blue silk slides effortlessly
above while I shudder,
shake, and spark below.
I try to remain calm,
poised, still, but the page ends
as it always does. A blue
heron of smoke trickles
away with my heart.

HONOUR
ANITA ASHWINI SHEA 2012

Ill be the woman who defends your honour,
Ill be the woman wholl place no one above,
No longer have reasons to look for another,
Because you are the one man that I have dreamed of,
Times will come when you're happy or troubled,
I will hold you in my arms as you laugh or cry,
Theres only one you nobody can double,
With you I know on true love I can rely,
Ill be the woman who always will love you,
Ill be the woman who stands by your side,
If your roads get rocky we will get through,
Together hand in hand prepared for any ride.

THE ALCHEMIST
BOB STRUM 2012

Poetry is alchemy.
Take out of the world
The ordinary.
Add a brew
Made up of
Words, emotions,
Imagination.
Stir
Within the readers mind.
Turn carbon into diamonds
To adorn.
Turn lead into gold
To enrich.
Turn the ordinary
Into magic

SECRET VALENTINE
ROSS WALLACE 2012


I kissed and her lips and held her hands.
I gave a place to fall, when she melted.
Oh, I remember the impact of her eyes on mine.
I just don't care at all, to be lost in time.
To you my secret Valentine,
once days and nights our legs entwined.
To you a thousand lullabies,
and thousands more kisses goodnight.

I had your love when I needed it the most.
Miniscule, the pieces of me, yearn to fuse with you.
In as many words, I wish you hadn't just blown through.
I can weather the storm, no chance was given to prove.
To you my secret Valentine,
I wish once more you would hold me down when I cry.
To you a thousand beautiful dreams,
and many more of mine, will be of you and I...

light of love

THE LOVE TRADE
PRIYANKA DEY 2012


Under one canopy of Us, We sheltered our love Against the shards
of clouds That fermented upon us, time and again.. Half wet, half dry
Naked eyes, travelled beyond The known and unknown This rain
drop on my lip, reminds me again.. The dried tears are safely stored
somewhere in the contours of my soul Wrapped mildly into your
memories They whisper to me, in silent verses.
The dampened stirrings of my love Are still there, somewhere In my
abode of your heart, Some creases would still be left..
Can you bring that back to me, My love, that belonged to me?
With A Pillow
The scent of your tenderness Scotch of your lips As I begin to
imagine, I am filled with bitterness. The hurt, the betrayal Knife the
jolted heart And the heart flutters for survival Your favourite game
of darts?
At one strike, the holocaust As Tucking myself to an endless night
of unrest I can almost replace you with only my pillow.. Almost.

MY ROSE
SANFORD S SHUMAN 2012


Shes a lovely rose minus the thorns,

Shes abiding on earth but in the heavens she had to be born,

Before she came, I was forlorn,

Now she has strengthened me in such a manner that I believe I can
take a
ram by the horns!



My Rose

Solely for you is this prose,

From the ashes, I have rose,

And to put out the fire you started itll take more than a hose.




My Rose

Everyday you bring delight that is sheer,

I was once blind, but now I see clear,

To tell me of my future with you I need no seer.









My Rose

You brought good tidings and eliminated every thought of doom,

I thought that for love my heart had come to have no room,

Until you, my rose came into my life and bloomed!

SWEETEST TABOO
ALISON MICHELLE ELLISON 2012


You are the sweetest taboo my heart ever knew.


Grappling with my conflict of passions



Make no mistake, I cannot make light of it


You draw me to you and I fight it,


The serpent hisses in my ear, he says go on; go on, just do it!



Temptation affrights the flames of my soul on fire


What a conundrum, I am torn asunder.



The one desire I want is so tauntingly unattainable


With each passing day, voracious cravings are pleading at my heart.


The power is too strong for the war that rages on my ravaged heart.









I grow weary now


And put up no more fences



I am willing to pay the consequences.


It is an unrequited love I will not conceal.



I will savor the sweet forbidden fruit


For you are the sweetest taboo my heart ever knew.

MY BLOODY VALENTINE
DR A.V. KOSHY 2012

I would love to say I love God
but "no one has seen god, at any time."
I would like to say I desire Venus
but I haven't really seen her, either...
I would like to say I love the moon
but I haven't been, you know, on it.

It's you I've seen and love.
Your breasts, the only Venusians ones
I've ever known or touched, my love,
& I planted my flag on you.
It's true.
So, in a way, you are God,
& Venus & the moon,
seen, touched; moon-landing made -
to me,
in my poet's free conceit...

My bloody Valentine - 2

Never really loved anyone but you,
You are my church. I kneel in your pew.
My Jesus in the stained-glass window,
You soothe my heart; e'en when the lights grow low.

My bloody Valentine-3

a)the alba/albada/aubade

the cock used to crow
now the mobile sings
no more biblical or nursery-rhyme references
attached;
only strings
but you aren't here
even that to hear



b) the serenade

i don't play the lute
i play the guitar
badly
but to serenade you
Id rather use my hands
my baby

c) the siesta

no-body by my side
to warm me
the one tune
being hummed
is cold, by the a/c
i wish i could climb the moon
hop away to
the cool side of some planet
listen to the music of the spheres
then let my spirit in
through your window
waft it into your ears
& watch you smile at its balmy...

d) the tagelied/nocturne

in here there's no sun
but if you sleep enough
it comes in through the crack
by the side of the a/c
i dream, turn restlessly
on my mattress; no cot
longing for your kisses, your warmth
your hair
to caress me...


DR A.V. KOSHY 2012
BANGALORE, INDIA







TO BE WITH
ROWAN BLAIR COLVER 2012


To swim with you in the sea of acceptance,
The expanse of the possible open wide,
To learn from you the trials of betterment,
Journeys we travel so far inside.

To rejoin the conscious upward and new,
Feeling my way to turn a fresh page,
To be one with another so dear and so true,
A day within dream a sign of the age.

To be blessed with human sunshine,
On days where it feels like rain,
To be forever entangled entwined,
It can always be the same, again.
