DECEPTION

by Insiya Patanwala

The world is but a crumbling place,
And we say we fear demise,
You poison yourself with each breath,
While you try to stay alive.

When smoke and fire engulf you,
Will you still say it's gentle warmth?
And burn and burn till there's nothing left,
But ashes of a soul?

Our New Gods

by Sagar Mistry

We hold new gods in our pockets safe and sound,
Forgetting what the world is, no looking around;
A god buzzing our lives with all sorts of sounds,
Keeping us busy, as the Earth makes rounds;
We know not what the person beside us feels like,
But we surely know, how much the market hiked;
Forgetting to communicate with the ones in front of our eyes,
Staring so hard to get a connection in the skies;
We see the world now from someone else’s view,
Never caring to notice, what around us is new;

Introspection

by Omar Abanouas

I look up to the sky
No matter how hard I try
It always reminds me
I’m not a perfect guy

I raised my eyes
They met glowing trails
Gliding in the starry skies
They set my heart ablaze
Then I lowered my gaze

With you in my thoughts

by Slava P, aka Maximus Decimus Meridius

Went to sleep
with you in my heart
with you in my head

Will wake up
with you in my thoughts
lying on my bed

Simple things
happening to us

Thoughts

by Josias Homely

(A Fragment.)
—There is a nameless dread, or rather doubt,
Perhaps a mingling of them both, which falls
Like passing cloud upon the lonely heart,
Which hails the stranger—wheresoe'er he dwells.
The land may be his own dear isle,
The stranger of his kindred and his tongue ;
And Holman journeying in the wilderness,
In helpless darkness, to the Arab tents.
Feels not alone this dark depressing gloom.

Introspection

by Omar Abanouas

Woes of the heart, cure of the soul

by Omar Abanouas

Eternal woes in my heart you are set
And not getting out anytime soon I’d bet
The fire burning in my eyes has spread
It lit my soul, leaving me alive and dead

Every time it hurts I feel inspired
The pain however, has made me sick and tired
But I smile proudly in the face of trouble
For if I cry, I’ll be hurt in double

To the starry night

by Omar Abanouas

Dark night full of mysteries
Bright stars, that erase all worries
I bring to you a heart full of sorrow
And light from your moon; it shall borrow

Nothing like your rays makes me warm
When cruel life, comes at me like a storm
I then close my eyes in peace
And seeing for that night I shall cease

What If I'm NOTHING

by Lily Isong

What if I'm NOTHING

I woke as gray a couple times
My soul's bare just as the pines
The tux I see that grows all slow
The pride I walk I thought I'm Mufasa
What if I'm nothing among everything
What if there wasn't a soul in me,
What if I had no dreams

Dream

by Liz Keen

See the sunshine on your veins
How happily it leans
Now that the Past is gone
you can feel as no one
Let the “glasses” warm you up
And provide another nap
Don’t you Shout in the night
Better that than morning light
