One Day | Fotoula Reynolds

I will climb to your highest point
I will stand at columns so grand
I will trace your footsteps in the sand
And my eyes will drink your Aegean beauty

I will take in your serene landscape
I will slow down and bask in the
Warmth of your summer sun and
I will drench myself in your fine wine

I will take a deep breath
I will feel your gentle sea breeze caress my skin
I Will sail along your canal and
I will carry your songs that serenade me

I will drift through the night sky
On a vessel under your stars
I will walk through your history
And you will show me another time

An End Coming | Krushna Chandra Mishra - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

An End Coming | Krushna Chandra Mishra

When all are worried about an end
they say they’ve heard sure to come
stilling every action and move in a vibrant spirited world
that we know for eternities renewing with new hopes
nowhere a voice shall exclaim a note of jubilant pride
since the throes of being incessantly throttled
then shall have come to an end of a bitter and violent kind
known in all ignorant adamancy perhaps to monsters
powered by simple cheated populations including fanatics
of an elite intelligentsia used often as a horror-spinning mad militia
of crooked and mindless autocrats befooling simple people
whose dreams of happy homes and safe times get
ever ruthlessly bombarded to what end nobody has
a clue to read or predict or correct since holocausts
of fraudsters wreaking havoc everywhere are to wipe
out man the only sentient creature treading the surface of
this majestic earth with a possible power to resist and force
a redirection to ways wily and haughty megalomaniacs embark on
ever ignorant of the massacring intensities of their schizophrenic
inconsistencies of impoverishing policies and doom-downloading
propensities.

Mum, Why Did You Go? | Claire Mills - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

Mum, Why Did You Go? | Claire Mills

Mum, I miss you with all my heart.
Life isn’t fair,
Life took you, we had to part,
I look around and don’t see you through my eyes,
Now it’s just goodbyes.
Mum, why did
We have to say goodbye?
I don’t know.
What is my life now without your insight?
Inside, I begin to fight,
Mum I love you and it is true
Without you what will I do?
Tears drop to the ground,
You were the only mum I found.

Dimensions of a Rejection | Vera Ashton - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

Dimensions of a Rejection | Vera Ashton

It’s not the little memories that hurt the most,
It’s not the future memories that could have been,
It’s not the physical touch of your firm hand,
It’s not even the lust in your eyes when I strolled through the door.
It’s knowing that you have cast me aside.
It’s knowing I’ve been thrown in the laundry basket,
Like an old mismatched sock,
Forgotten about in the dryer.
Left behind on top of the washing machine.
Every once in awhile,
You look at me.
Not with disdain,
But not with the spark.
Every once in awhile,
You pick me up,
Not with the careful touch you used,
But with the roughness of a scorpio.
And the memories come rushing through,
Knowing that once upon awhile,
I was welcomed into your world,
While now, I am barely a rebuttal in your field.
