Feelings Poems
Sonnet XX – Feelings
by Khayelihle Bongiswa Gamedze
LONELINESS is a better friend,
It sticks with me every minute, every hour of the day.
SORROW a good friend too.
It visits me by night, it never forsakes its hour.
REJECTION touches my shoulder
Every time I meet a special person.
It is a better friend to comfort,
I feel its touch on my shoulder down my spine.
REGRET is my best friend. It shares my bed at night.
It is there holding our hands, me and SORROW.

Ribbons
by Nora La King
They are pulled from me;
Stretched, knotted, and
Burned in a fireplace
Where trust and human emotions,
Are turned to blackened ash
I am left an empty roll.
The ribbons of my feelings,
Manhandled, manipulated
Mitigated, and misunderstood.

Solitude.
by Laurence Argyll Simon Noond
Loneliness is a sad place to be.
Solitude is a place we chose to be.
Loneliness can break a heart.
Solitude can restore a heart.
Be careful what you wish for.
Be careful when you close the door.
Be careful not close the door on yourself.
Be careful loneliness is one book on a shelf.

Zlomili ste me - Sanja Atanasovska, North Macedonia
by Sanja Atanasovska
Vstopili ste v mojo temno stran
zlomili ste me brez razloga
skupaj ste vrgli sulico
na mojo žametno dušo
naredili ste da je moje nebo žalostno
poveznili ste mi ga čez glavo
vzeli ste mi zrak in vodo
uspavali ste moje srce
da ne čutim bolečine
v majhnih kosih

I Do Not Like Hell
by Ken Ripley
I do not like Hell.
It is not for me,
Nor I for it.
I do not like punishment,
Especially eternal.
I would get bored
Being always punished.
I do not like Heaven either.

Delirium Dreams
by Christine Kuruvilla
The unknown, the mysterious,
Smoking Mary Jane,
Till they lost and delirious.
Clouded are their thoughts,
Hidden are their meanings,
Searching for refugee in unsaid feelings
The burden of heavy thoughts
by Mario Odekerken
They come without warning,
a slow gathering of shadows
in the corners of the mind.
Not loud,
but persistent-
like the ticking of a distant clock
you can't ignore.
They settle behind the eyes,
......
The moment God answered my prayer
by Mario Odekerken
It was not with thunder,
nor with a shout across the sky.
No burning bush,no trembling ground,
just the quiet shift of air inside my chest.
The world stayed ordinary--
cars passed,leaves stirred,
the sun slipped behind a cloud unnoticed.
But I knew.
