Care | G. S. Katz
You really care about me
You warm me up
Even on an icy day
Your love paves my way
read poetry
Waiting in Line | G. S. Katz
I would rather not have something
I want
If it means waiting in line
For more than 20 seconds
Tried and true New Yorker
Impatient, brooder, no fault moody
The one and only thing I wait for
Is you- you get a pass everytime
Love Relationships | Joanne J.
when promises come, and float away, like dandelion fluff in the
breeze
when your eyes turn inward to find out why, you ever even tried to
believe.
when you remember the time and the place that you felt your heart
break,
and swallowed the lump in your throat.
that is where you try to prepare, for the beginning of the end.
all the while, this foolish, childish heart yearns for the strength to
keep hoping, keep trying,
keep treading further down this dead end road.
Funny, or maybe not… that I laugh and tell others, “run, Forrest
run!”
but have not the will to run for myself.
I feel the hot tear on my cheek, as yet another page turns toward the
ending of this love story.
“When will you learn”… the words of well-meaning friends, has been
asked of me all my life.
When it comes to affairs of the heart……. NEVER, seems to be my
constant answer.
If the choice must be made to not love, or to feel passion, love and
loss.
I have already chosen.
as another tear slips slowly from my eye. I resolve to ask brain to
make heart sit the next step out.
heart, go sit quietly with your memories, and try not to ache as we
pull us up, and prepare to look at the day with blinders off.
This will hurt a bit.
The Chiding | Naduni
“You are too hard and inflexible!”
You chide me, your face on fire
“You are overly sensitive and emotional!”
I point out, tactfully reverting the chiding.
But deep within I know,
I was too harsh on you
(Not that I wanted to, in a way I had to)
And I also know
That I have become hard and inflexible
Like a plant, after intermittent beatings
Of the weather, grows into a massive tree
Nothing can bend.
But all the same your sweet self,
Funny, silly and cute self
Reminds me how once I was.
You are several years older than me
Do I envy you for your inborn gentleness
Still staying with you?
No my darling, no.
I only fill with fear
Fear for you being transformed
Into myself,
On a day not far away.
Love Comes and Goes | G. S. Katz
Love comes and goes
Usually not on a timetable
There’s no formula for the right love
But stay in the game always
Never quit
Open yourself up
Don’t be afraid
He’ll find you
Or you’ll find him
It’s a dance
A celebration
Not without pain
But always worth it
Just because…
Unbuttoned Life | P.K. Deb
Let me live an unbuttoned life
To feel the sorrows of the society,
And allow myself to circumscribe
By a divine girdle of honesty.
Let me spend the tumultuous days
To break dozing and day dreaming
And to rub the depressed to erase
The loneliness to make life cheering.
Let me enjoy the dreamful nights
To obtain a zeal for better tomorrow
And a luminous knowledge which fights
To drive out the darkness of sorrow.
Let me enjoy a delightful intermission
To establish myself on the peak of pleasure.
And return again with a new incarnation
To reform the society with suitable measure.
Gentleness and Broken Glass | G. S. Katz
The colors of intimacy
Much to explore.
Gentleness and broken glass
Sweet touch and raw power
We are a color that hasn’t been invented
Never seen by the universe
But we exist
And we shine…
