A World held Hostage

Submitted by Seren on Fri, 2015-11-20 13:45

When innocence no longer knows fear
the rivers of earth will unleash a baptism,
as anger fades with their ancestors genes
souls of the Guf will forevermore fly free

Evils are blinding the light of humanity
spotting the gaze of the troubled
stealing the hearts of the lost,
a graver threat now revolutionizes war

We've only one chance to save our world
do not waste it with greed and envys lies,
now with connections made planet wide
the danger has never been more imminent

bon voyage

Submitted by lovedly on Thu, 2015-11-19 23:56

My voyage starts
ere the sunrises
in the Far East
always beyond yonder hills
any where you may see

the ship sails away
in the opposite direction
to the West
the sun knows it,
it chases me daily
as I reach the port
my ultimate destination

it helps me guide
to where I park
ere I get lost
in the dark
and
then it wishes me
Good bye
Do rise.....

WHIRLING DERVISH edit

Submitted by Geremia on Thu, 2015-11-19 18:15

Whirling Dervish

There are hearts that never feel
and souls as cold as steel
who like Whirling Dervishes
dance to disconnect --
Creators of blissful trances
and release into madness.

Chaos

Submitted by Seren on Thu, 2015-11-19 13:59

The bodies have begun to pile
the stench of death grips the air,
no more can innocence find shelter
as the structure of humanities wall

Crumble into chaos

Nations strike the heart of the East
Boom ! Again and again and again,
still corpses pile up rotting in streets
as peace finds herself slipping away

Piece by bloody peace

Strangers weep for sisters and brothers
a bond not of blood, but unified grief,
we seek to find reason in a maelstrom
we search soul less eyes for compassion

POETICS

Submitted by Geremia on Thu, 2015-11-19 11:54

POETICS

I write as the music flows
from soul to heart and heart
to mind
I don't always sing in meter
and rhyme:
I am not in search of the sublime
for form may the truth hide
and all human traits falsify
then lose my words in a lie.

Wednesday

Submitted by Shamoneness on Wed, 2015-11-18 17:13

i just want a taste of a soul
instead of skin plagued
promises
turn back to lexa
she's a pro
at sifting through
sticks and stones
and the times that
broke my bones
their brittleness is
my strength
my frailty is
His power
what kind of ties
would be tangled
around my limbs
and my lips
rocks thrown
at my flesh
and my emptiness
without His forgiveness
and never ending
Bless-
sings amidst
sin and
purity
carefully

R.I.P

Submitted by Seren on Wed, 2015-11-18 14:56

Terrified moments are frozen in time
another Black Friday inks history
as fear gripped innocence wrenching
it ripped it from their astonished eyes

Then lights turned off on a Tower
normally filled with life and love,
Mothers wailed as Fathers filled
with anger petrifying their hearts.

Now knowing a magnitude of loss, grief,
The Country of Love weeps for what was,
steadfast, noble yet still abrim with hope
candles and flowers stop missiles of hate

My Eyes ( Re-Ed)

Submitted by lovedly on Tue, 2015-11-17 20:20

These are my eyes
forever in eternal search
of more beautiful ones
as I research...

they look straight
into your eyes
and
if you are telling lies
they will pierce
till blood comes in your eyes
and
you uncover your false disguise

These alone are my eyes
there should be no surprise
early morning the sun does rise
just to see my lovely eyes

any doubts
come over to me
to see
how your eyes
equally smile
at me...

Of Solitude

Submitted by AZMM Moksedul Milon on Tue, 2015-11-17 15:25

The whole world is a lunatic asylum,
All human beings are insane;
I know this world is not mine,
Neither am I fallen.

I bathe in the sea of silence,
I surf on the murmuring waves;
I enjoy the jingling pebbles,
I sunbathe on the shining shore.

I listen to the twitter of loneliness,
I keep gazing at the fallen feathers;
I write lines of melancholy,
I enjoy all heavenly fruits.

My solitude is my heaven,
This world is not mine, neither am I fallen.

Romanticism

Submitted by lovedly on Mon, 2015-11-16 20:03

Quite a quiet
Romantic poet
loves and adores
beauty
for he
alone knows
what’s it

to be in love with a million
Hopefully!
someone will fall
in my cup

my eyes will see
a butter cup
a fly
a bee
and
a butterfly kissing flowers at me

lovely must she be
to fly about me

I shall throw away
my heart
with glee
if she comes
flying to me
