Discovered heart
by Jupiters Angel

I didn't know that I had a heart till I met you
water that flowed I Ignored hailed true.
I couldn't see the feelings of your say
my borders kept you away.
Maybe I was distracted
paths walked subtracted.
I wasn't looking for love
yet you opened the door of a caged dove.
Freedom brought unreserved fear
this new way seemed unclear.

A DREAM
by Subarna Chakraborty

A dream in the morning,
They say, comes true.
A dream of you

My Treasure without Measure
by Graham Ereks

You are the silky gazelle of the esteemed paradise
Blazing radiance on me in a blissful beam;
Your daintiness flabbergasts me, so nice
I pray together we become a team.

The fauna and flora, with you I can’t compare
For wherever I go I see your face, my rose;
My love for you daily-multiplies, indeed not mere
For you are the reason I can take this proud pose.

A Love Song
by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

A colossal collage on a sheltered canvas,
replete with words of love —here and there—
hangs on a blooming tree on a crossroads,
and warms my heart like that of a dancing
hummingbird celebrating the birth of
a new beginning.
