Finding Charm | Fotoula Reynolds - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

Finding Charm | Fotoula Reynolds

The house where love died
Carried voices with no meaning inside
Only the outside air whispered life
The charming garden had faith

Empty lips of comfort
All grew soft and far and silent
Trees bent their heads
Mysteriously crying

Winds stole thoughts away
No home in the moon’s light
Alone and frightened
In the unfriendly night

Desperately willing
The sunny morning danced
A subtle beguiling smile
Wept tears of gold and jade

Through tides of darkness
White radiant words flew
Known hearts found peace
In the home of truth

Your Home | Danijela Trajkovic - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

Your Home | Danijela Trajkovic

Come
To your home

No one knows
Except you
Where its door is
What its walls look like
Its windows
Its roof
If there is a terrace or not
And from which material was built

Come
Whenever you feel
Like coming home
When you get tired of
Wandering
People
Noise
Whenever you crave
Smile of the fire on your body
Steamed up mirror on lips
Mute talk of fingers
Blue sky in the night
Luna in your lap

Come
When you remember
That your home is empy
Without you

Come
And go again
Whenever you desire
Wandering
People
Noise

Your home is your home
Doesn’t long for
Wandering
People
Noise
But for the smoke
On its chimney
That you bring.

The Nest | Krushna Chandra Mishra - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

The Nest | Krushna Chandra Mishra

They were all very sure their nest there
Was not broken despite the storm and there
Still in the same old good condition to
Welcome them in smiling for the rest
They knew best they needed having not slept
Ever since they heard of damages the storm had
Done to most houses in the neighborhoods.

They knew nothing their nest would succeed
Doing if it sought to face the force of the storm
For the wall that held it was safe like ever
And the wall as they saw standing seemed
To tell them in comforting whispers
Everything was safe – their nest or their dreams.
