Waiting Poems
ते ना मला उमजले ना तुला समजले
by Apurva Phulari
तेव्हा होता वारा सुटलेला
आणि धरती तृप्त झालेली
गगनात खळबळ उडालेली
ते ना मला उमजले ना तुला समजले!
फक्त एकच डाव खेळायचा होता
आणि तोच जिंकायचा होता
पण तुझ्या विरूद्ध खेळायचा होता
मी जिंकूनही हारले आणि तू हारुनही जिंकला
ते ना मला उमजले ना तुला समजले!!

Running from Fate
by Birdie Lucas
I am fifteen and I do not dream of houses and husbands and children
Like the other girls around me
I am sixteen and I don’t care if the boys don’t notice me
I surely do not notice them
I am seventeen and I am so different from everyone in my town
I cannot wait to leave
I am eighteen and I am leaving for college
Finally free from the judgment of my small town
I am nineteen and I drop out
I pack my bags and move to a city

Take All The Time You Need - December 9th, 2023
by Gilligan Snolepart
Take all the time you need
But, if you can, don't be too long
Decide the Life you’ll have
And the Path you'll walk
I get that it's about you
Not anyone or anything else
And it is!
But if it has us two on it
I want to see it

I’d Feel Homesick
by Alison Derick
My great big heart was waiting to see the stampede.
You’d send Honesty, Loyalty and Grace.
I’d hear the brass trumpets, feel the notes press against me,
filling all my spaces within.
Days have passed,
the summer frozen in July.
I stay bathed in shining armor,
burning brightly to light your way.
You can find me, re-see me.

CHAND
by Ganesavi Gupta
Ruh ne gawahi to nhi di pr 'Chand' mera samjh gya, is suni si raat me wo akela hi nikl gaya...
Khoff to badalo ka tha ki khi chupa na le,
meri mnjil Ko mujhse chura na le.
Pr Chahat itni gehri thi ki main bhi ruki nhi,
Deepak lekr dhundhne usko nikl padi...
Aur phir kya, mnjil tha wo mera mil gya "pr phir dheere se Suraj nikal Gaya..."

Another day passes by
by Mayank Nirala
Still waiting
It feels forever, Since you crossed by me;
My heart longs, to be altered in a way
You made me skip a beat;
I sit aside, eyes waiting
but i procure none i crave;
Each second feels protracted

A Chase After Love - 02
by Subhas Chandra Chakra
Days passed,
Months passed,
Years of waiting-
For someone might
Turn up a day.
Like a pomegranate
In the mountains high
I had been waiting,

Customer Service
by Victoria Brown
Your call is very important to us.
Please hold while we connect you to the next available agent.
The hold music buzzes in my ears.
The poor attempt at soft jazz,
the wretched sounds of clarinet worming their way into my brain.
All of our agents are busy at this time.
