Why does it feel wrong?

by Keyla Crisp

I love you, thought my voice can't find the way.
Trapped in this silence with so much to say.
It's agony living, knowing you'll never see.
The depths of my longing, the love meant to be.

Each glance, each moment, your smile a light.
But when it fades, I'm swallowed by night.
Unworthy, I feel, beneath your cold gaze.
A sign of hope lost in endless haze.
Your indifference cuts deeper than a knife.

The British

by Benjamin Zephaniah

Take some Picts, Celts and Silures
And let them settle,
Then overrun them with Roman conquerors.

Remove the Romans after approximately 400 years
Add lots of Norman French to some
Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Vikings, then stir vigorously.

Mix some hot Chileans, cool Jamaicans, Dominicans,
Trinidadians and Bajans with some Ethiopians, Chinese,

Address To The Devil

by Robert Burns

1 O thou! whatever title suit thee,--
2 Auld Hornie, Satan, Nick, or Clootie!
3 Wha in yon cavern, grim an' sootie,
4 Clos'd under hatches,
5 Spairges about the brunstane cootie
6 To scaud poor wretches!

7 Hear me, Auld Hangie, for a wee,
8 An' let poor damned bodies be;
9 I'm sure sma' pleasure it can gie,

A Death-Bed

by Rudyard Kipling

1918
This is the State above the Law.
The State exists for the State alone."

Some die shouting in gas or fire;
Some die silent, by shell and shot.
Some die desperate, caught on the wire -
Some die suddenly. This will not.

Why does it feel wrong?

Who am I

by Saleh Ben Saleh

If Life is easy,
why do we strive?
And search for hope,
to keep us alive.
And feel the pressure,
which causes pain.
And leaves a mark,
or an ugly stain

It makes me wonder,

I hide my pain (lyrics)

by Saleh Ben Saleh

I sit in darkness,
hiding my pain,
in regions of sorrow,
my thoughts remain.
Torrents of tears,
run down my face.
as I search for comfort,
In a warm embrace.

A thousand thought,

Nomadic Heart

by Carlos Poetry

Bags are packed
Vision impaired by tears
Emotions are stacked away from prying ears
The way you feel the heaviness of the heart
Is like sentimental constipation hoping for loves gentle fart
This place is not a home
No warmth or passion exist
Just grated memories
Of a false promise of subtleness
Rooted in the lies and devious nature of it all

To NKR

by Nad SZA

Exactly 100 days before you decide to leave me,
I'm not complaining, I'm happy that you choose to set yourself free.
A new chapter without me, a new beginning in your life,
But the sharp pain in my heart cuts like a knife.

I remember the times when I'd get lost in your eyes,
And the feeling of being by your side, my heart flies.
Even from a distance, I could feel your emotions so deep,
As if they were mine too, a connection we keep.
