Compassion Poems
In Praise of Soft Light
by Richard Randolph
I like soft light best,
candles and moonlight.
Such light always overlooks a blemish
to highlight the deeper beauty-
the sparkle in one's eye,
the glow of a fire, the contours of the night.
It's not concerned with getting to some final truth,
but instead, naturally gregarious, invites us to talk
of our dreams, our aspirations, indeed anything,
usually over a glass of burgundy,

Ubuntu: I Am because We Are
by Aloo Denish Obiero
"I am because we are," a truth profound,
In Ubuntu's philosophy, our humanity's found.
Our shared existence, interconnectedness so strong,
In unity we thrive, together we belong.
To be truly human, the first maxim shows,
Recognize others' worth, let empathy flow.
In others, our mirror, humanity reflected,
Respectful relations bloom, connections perfected.

Karte karte
by Thanshu Guliani
Ek shaqsiyat ka pher abr hai
Us laalsa ke kaabu me
Jo ungliyo pe thehra hai kayi hasrate qaid karke.
Dhaagon si hai ye mulakate jo kab toot jaye maloom nahi
un aankhon ko yaad rakh lete hum agar deedar mukammal karte.
Kehne ko to khair do hi baate thi
Jo aaj phir nahi keh sake aur laut aaye.
Uljhano me lipat kar reh gaye bas intezaar ka intezaar karte karte.
Waqt jitna bhi tha acha tha jiski kami ko deewar samajh baithe
Daur ban kar guzar gaya wo fariyaad karte karte

Disappearance
by Ghairo Daniels
DISAPPEARANCE
Light baptised my forsaken body
red whirling a glimmering ocean
Perseidon’s crystalline tears
drip-dropped into mine
manifesting oyster shells
Odysseus smiled blinking

Compassion
by The Project Of Decadence
For Compassion and Understanding,
I don't accept any call
I am trapped into an infernal loop where i am misunderstood with a Provider
As soon as i am covered by the sound of words
I wonder, what should i sacrifice, what do i own
Me myself under this position, would only be able to demand for Compassion and Understanding
I myself, did not make, I
But have been made
I have been watered like a flowered to get where i got
I have never asked to be here, therefore

Love.
by Reshika Jaya Chandar
Love,
What a beautiful word
It can mean different things
To people all around the world
But
What is love?
I asked myself,
And that's when I felt the presence of your elegance

You're My Deep Breath
by Frangipani Rhett
Today my child slammed the door too hard
And I took a deep breath and thought of you
You set the standard for how to show love
And so I shifted towards compassion
Last Sunday I met up with a friend for coffee
And she talked for so long, I got bored
I took a deep breath and thought of you
And remembered the presence you gave me

It's in your Beautiful DNA
by Arvin Dassad
Mark my words, less they be lost amongst the echoes of time.
Listen to the measures and cadence of my tone as I tell thee, the most utmost truth.
Bind me to the earth, so I might live amongst your prenumbra, just those fleeting corners
The negative space of your x- ray could suffice, to surround you so fleeting,
We all lurch, so very systemically,
Flaying ourselves unto the abyss, endlessly, pointlessly,
