Feelings Poems
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.

Glory
by Olivija Petry
I would love to describe
The color of the sky
In all it’s beauty and glory.
The white streak fading away
And fading to grey
As a storm is coming
The black wings of the hawk
Spread all the way out

The sight of you
by Tania Marques
The sound of a peal of thunder.
The pounding train tracks feeling of the ground.
Euphoria taking over me.
Just like a soulful moment at sea.
All the disturbances in me are soon fallen,

Sit with it
by Daisy H
Sit with it,
Invite your fear for tea,
Make your feelings guests,
Anger, love and glee.
Let them be heard,
Celebrate them too,
They are yours to feel,
They belong to you.

Reaping Dusk
by Ayatullah Nurjati
Combing lonely in the silence of feelings that can no longer feel your presence by
my side
The yellow rice dangling as if sobbing longing for the coveted rain as if to witness
my feelings of longing for you
I don't know why the birds are invisible--migrating somewhere
The path that had started to crack in the rice paddies seemed to be in sync with
my current feelings
The animals that inhabit this land are already used to nature here
Moths and fireflies are also welcome for night service as a causality of their work

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

Memories of a While Back
by Mai ✿
O memories of long ago
I never thought I'd miss you
I still remember those times
Never thought they'd be the best of times
Oh, how I long for those days
Hard as they were, painful even
They are the loveliest, nonetheless
Younger me would've been perplexed
If she knew I want those days back!
But perhaps that's how life is

Sadness to Hate
by Angel Garcia
Slowly time set us apart,
The other half’s sentiments died;
You showed me how to cry,
You showed me how to grief,
Pushed me to be alone and not trust thee.
An excellent job you did,
Broke me in pieces,
As many pieces as there are stars,
Desolation and depression
Is what a lone man has.

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.
