Sanctuary of Solace

by Ela Omoosin

In the embrace of womanhood, a heart's warmth resides,
Kindness bestowed, where humanity confides.
Guiding lost souls through the sea's gentle sweep,
A sanctuary of solace, where hearts find retreat.

Seeds sown by your hand flourish and bloom,
Eden's dream realized, dispelling all gloom.
Love's uncharted depths, a treasure so rare,
A sunflower's triumph, petals unfurling with flair.

Death Of a Relative

by Randy Johnson

My papaw died twenty-five years ago today.
It's been a quarter of a century since he passed away.
When he took a new medication, he became sick.
When Papaw took it, he turned out to be allergic.
If it hadn't been for Papaw, I wouldn't exist.
He died a long time ago and he's still missed.

(Dedicated to Burley Johnson who died on August 3, 1994.)

Freak Accident Prone

by Evelyn Judy Buehler

I was a diligent safety engineer, modifying the hazardous work practices,
Like the thrilling festive celebrations, when you open up pretty packages!

I took my work very seriously, and my motto had long been safety first,
Like waiting all the livelong day, for gone currant sun's huge color burst.

My word was always trusted, for people valued my professional opinion,
As pearlescent moon values jet darkness, when gazing on her dominion.

I made sure workers abided by safety rules, and it gave me satisfaction,

Merry Christmas, Mom - Part VI

by Randy Johnson

The Christmas of 2012 was the last Christmas that you celebrated on Earth.
You were a kind and loving mother for 41 and a half years after my birth.
When March the 6th arrived, you wouldn't have a tomorrow.
It took two years for me to get over the pain and sorrow.
I can't spend anymore Christmases with you, now I spend my Christmases alone.
You were a terrific woman and the best person who I've ever known.
March of 2013 was the worst month and year that I've ever experienced.
When you passed away, it hurt me terribly and I've missed you ever since.
But I feel much better now, time does heal a man's wounds.
Merry Christmas Mom, I'm sorry that you died too soon.

Seven Hearts

by Khayelihle Bongiswa Gamedze

The first one is for laughter
And infinite romance.
For smiling and for hugging
For giving me a chance.

The second is for hope;
And longing for tomorrow.
She opens up this heart
Whenever we face sorrow.

a Dedication to a fellow-poet

by Peter Dr Lim

A dedication to a fellow-poet who wrote on the wonder of trees:

There was none around
dusk was about to set in
a tender voice I heard
it hardly made a sound:

'Under our warm shades you frolicked
so often as a child--such lonely joys you found

A title never to be crowned, other than you

by Sahil Sawant

Let's not title it, let's not label it,
Let's break the ice, and enable it,
It's what my heart said, when I walked through clouds,
When my beats whispered, they heard it loud,
I'm back, to reign every fairy, with my silly words,
To vanish every doom, killing the nasty birds,
It's time for you, to wake up, and crawl, a quite long,
Don't wait for anyone, who may walk along,
You are a dawn, of yourself, know it, before they do,
As they are wishing to perish you, before you do,
