Emotion Poems
On the Summer Fields
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
I’ve been walking for a mile
The woman stalking me has been sniffing for a while
She has become my second shadow
I hope I am not the source of her sorrow.
I quicken my steps on the quagmire of illusion
She hastens with her shadow on the plinths of delusion
One thing is sure: I’d out-walk her.
She makes her resolution as well not to remain in the rear.

Cycle of Life: A Journey Through Growth and Decay
by Filip Hammarström
Sunrise, the beginning of day, awakening of life
Bringing new light, creating a story
With that which can’t be bought
But only with cherish, tender and humble
The dispersal of seeds, a migration of life
Ever reaching, wanting growth
Like birds roaming the skies, longing, searching
The young forever seeking, hoping, wishing

With or without
by Kuenzang Dorji
Home of nigricollis, the U glacial valley
Amidst a twilight, I shall knock your ingo
Ask me not any; with or without, but I
If only I, inflate not the burning cut
But welcome the chills of Pelela lamo
For the cause, it truly accompanied
By dayspring, open the golden gate of shrine
To voice-the long waited prayers
And brow, to hit the divine floor
Wish it or not, nothing stays long

A letter to my stepmother
by Sharon Morgan
Tonight, I’d like to take my mother’s hand
Don’t replace my mother
Tomorrow and the day after
I’d want to remember my mother,
Don’t replace my her.
The next day and the following months
I’d like to keep her in my thoughts

Rest for a while!
by Kuenzang Dorji
Dear symbol of peace,
Rest for a while!
Hippocrates has worn you, so did I!
Healthy saw a beauty,
And weak, hope in you.
Thee the lord of purity,
I bow for every blessing.
Thou existed time immemorial,
So shall in the future.
My lord, radiate peace!

I Felt It
by wilted tulip
I've fallen in love; I felt it
real passion
I've fallen in love; I felt it
real adoration
I've fallen in love; I felt it
real intimacy
I've fallen in love; I felt it
real joy
I've fallen in love; I felt it
real exhaustion
......
Loved as you Love
by wilted tulip
the want to feel
the need to feel
blossomed eyes growing into your soul
a familiar hand brush your face
rumbling tunes of a heartbeat beside you
sweet saliva drying on your lips
echos of footsteps down the hall
soft warm skin pressing close
glowing embers from a voice
the want to feel

"A song with no melody."
by Dylan Wu Rong
In each note that he played,
in the notes resonating from his fingers as he strung the thread,
I saw a fragment of something pure-
like the white snow of the first fall,
the cold dew of the dark dawn.
And within the purity it held, hidden was remorse and languor.
Away from the eagle eyes of mortal beasts,
I saw him succumb to the regret,
the regret that he never owned,
and a part of me wants to soothe him,

Lost for loss
by J’kuan Liverpool
I torture myself with these thoughts ,
Trying to make sense of me crumbling ,
A strong enough breeze could turn me to dust ,
But the wind is stalling it’s just dark and cold ,
I’m surrounded by a cage of broken glass ,
Picking up pieces of myself cut me little by little,
I’ve be played with broken & left for garbage ,
Once treasured with care , affection and love ,

Fear - An unavoidable emotion
by Maryam Tawfiq
Fear, a word so grand
Where every decision we make,
Lies in our hands.
It protects us from harm
Yet kills us mentally
Life wouldn’t be challenging.,
If we didn’t have problems to solve eventually.
Phobia a word so vast,
