My Guardian Angel

by Robert William Service

When looking back I dimly see
The trails my feet have trod,
Some hand divine, it seems to me,
Has pulled the strings with God;
Some angel form has lifeward leaned
When hope for me was past;
Some love sublime has intervened
To save me at the last.

For look you! I was born a fool,

Lara

by George Gordon Byron

LARA.

CANTO THE FIRST.

I.

The Serfs are glad through Lara's wide domain,
And slavery half forgets her feudal chain;
He, their unhoped, but unforgotten lord —
The long self-exiled chieftain is restored:

Tired

by Augusta Davies Webster

No not to-night, dear child; I cannot go;
I'm busy, tired; they knew I should not come;
you do not need me there. Dear, be content,
and take your pleasure; you shall tell me of it.
There, go to don your miracles of gauze,
and come and show yourself a great pink cloud.

So, she has gone with half a discontent;
but it will die before her curls are shaped,
and she'll go forth intent on being pleased,

Stars

by Melissa Thomas

I look to the stars above, searching for the answers that have always been here
Hidden underneath the lies told by those with brittle hearts and evil souls masked with an ever-innocent smile
Looking to lead people astray
Fueled by their disappointment
Their sadness
Their fear of exploring the unknown
I will look to the stars for guidance and let their light shine on the path I should lead and cast shadows on those with ill intentions

Death

by William Butler Yeats

NOR dread nor hope attend
A dying animal;
A man awaits his end
Dreading and hoping all;
Many times he died,
Many times rose again.
A great man in his pride
Confronting murderous men
Casts derision upon
Supersession of breath;

Alleys of Time

by Soumili Karmakar

Alleys of Time

Yesterday, I was walking through the alleys in Calcutta .
The journey from my home to college with its endless possibilities and challenges is like a cloud.
At times it floats upon a gentle bay,
Showering the hues of life and light of yesterday’s and tomorrow’s blooms
On today’s cherishing bows in a springtime noon.
At times it becomes a reality of experience
To make us believe in hope and in abundance
To learn the glory of time and of fate.

Triolet #4

by Amy Michelle Mosier

A wider landscape I see beyond;
It beckons to me from afar.
The land has a kaleidoscope dawn
And many wonders that lay beyond.
Run your hands over its grasses blonde;
Catch a whiff of its sacred rose attar.
To a kinder landscape I go beyond;
Someday it will beckon no more.

Smile Of Rose

by Adelana Victor

In the garden of my heart, there grows a rose,
a mystery, a beauty, the one my heart chose.

Her smile, a radiant bloom in the twilight's grace,
a secret enhancement, a captivating embrace.

Oh, smile of rose, like petals soft and rare,
in your gentle laughter, I find solace there.

Your eyes, like stars that twinkle in the night,

When the sunshine gets lost

by Craig Strong

When the Sunshine gets lost
my spirit no longer shines
it continues to erode
as it darkens with time
Everything seems dull
to a mind so alive
I set things ablaze
to feel better inside
The fire excites
a flame burning bright

Purposefully

by Arvin Dassad

Wake,
feel the sheets,
no,
truly feel them,
that first breath,
the one that woke you,
the one that carries you, unequivocally,
without question,
it holds you,
suffer in ignorant bliss, you know not what comes ahead,
