Understanding Poems
Nurturing Love Through Life's Challenges
by Lukman Nurudeen Adeniyi
Amidst love's journey, conflicts always arise.
Tackling trials, growth coherently becomes evident.
Within struggles, our radiance shines through.
Through understanding, we live with ease.
We mend; wounds heal, strength apparent.
A journey together, imperfect yet true.
With benevolent words and no malice,
And an act of forgiveness inherent,

Eye Sees
by Lukman Abdulwasiu
At the end of the day
Feeling start to stray
Paranoia of the day
Seep in during the night's
Crying for help
through the fake smiles
Eye screams for understanding
which the visuals can't comprehend
Hoping one of the many lovely irises
Would ask - what's wrong?

Fluisterend in mijn oor 02
by Mario Odekerken
Fluisterend in mijn oor
zeg je woorden
die nergens geschreven staan,
maar die blijven hangen
in de stilte tussen ons.
Je stem raakt
waar handen niet kunnen komen,
zacht
maar zeker

Zij laat me spreken
by Mario Odekerken
Zij laat me praten,
zonder haast,
zonder oordeel.
Ik gooi de warboel van mijn hoofd op tafel,
en zij ruimt niets op.
Ze kijkt.
Luistert.
Laat het er zijn.

Stroke of Breath
by Gus Krueger
Art is a masterpiece
When no change is needed
To understand
Is to draw the last breath
Perspective
by Jeff Bresee
It’s just a tiny flicker,
in my hand it seems to be
a single point of light
and yet it mesmerizes me.
Can’t help but wonder what’s inside,
what universe lies there?
It makes me feel like I’m a God
and there’s an earth somewhere

A collision of hearts
by Mario Odekerken
A collision of hearts,
two strangers pulled
by gravity older than names.
The air bends between them,
a silent spark,
a recognition without reason.
Time falters,
and in that pause,
the world learns
a new kind of beginning.

Fluisterend in mijn oor 02
by Mario Odekerken
Fluisterend in mijn oor
zeg je woorden
die nergens geschreven staan,
maar die blijven hangen
in de stilte tussen ons.
Je stem raakt
waar handen niet kunnen komen,

Fluisterend in mijn oor 01
by Mario Odekerken
Fluisterend in mijn oor
zeg je niets
en toch
verstaat mijn hart
alles.
What a difference a day makes
by Mario Odekerken
What a difference a day makes,
twenty-four little hours,
the sky clears without warning,
and the silence becomes a song.
A hand not there yesterday
now lingers in yours.
The world shifts,
not with thunder,
but withbthe hush of becoming.
