When Peace Became a Memory
By Tanvir Mostafa Where are our those days, where is our lost society? What we behold right now—is it the proper system of community? Does goodness prevail or exist in the mid of us really? We find soundness of reason and justice only occasionally. Many a poet says the world is the right place for love and peace, But perhaps...

Calling
Calling To the I Am Alone and on my knees In a valley filled with death's air  His gift: Freedom in an endless expanse My prison's narrow walls collapsed  I walked in green meadows  Seeing the sun Calling Inspired by a prayer from the beautiful "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl....

Premium Member MOUSE HOUSE
MOUSE HOUSE* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In my shoe, I found quite a sight, a small mouse, with fur soft and light. He twitched and he squeaked, as I gasped and I freaked, Then we both took off running in fright! *This poem is written in memoriam and dedicated to the field mouse who mistakenly...

Those we love
When singing praise to the Lord above, that our feeling take flight like a white dove. The joyful songs melts away all anger and fear. That one can't help not to drop a tear. Yet in the end the believers find comfort,where there's love. ...

Armistice
NOVEMBER 2022 Rightly so, the poppies flood Early in the winter sky Merrily stood in field, and this Existence of mine has passed by Maybe they'd watch us contend But are authorities ever sober? Early now, in Winter's sky Realise how they owed her Unwillingly ignorant to the loss, they'll be Scorching their retinas, a veil of red...

Waves That Pull
One step away from waves that play. In that fresh light, he let go that night. I thought back then, that was all it had been. I stayed to see each wave hit me. With heart shut tight, no stars in sight. My hands let go, they moved so slow. Each night I'd fall inside the call— the thoughts so loud, the cries unbowed. Maybe it's me who made him flee… But how...

Imprint on the Sand of Time
–A Tribute to Michael Jackson They said you danced like thunder cracked— But your rhythm was more than blood and bone. You moved through dimensions unseen, Where silence whispered in dream-tones alone. You were no man of mere flesh and fame, But a vessel of light in a trembling frame. From moonwalks born of stardust tides, To screams that split the veil of...

Queen Checkmate
There was a young Lady who followed a Prince, then became a Princess when she kissed a frog, I don't know why — perhaps she's Di. This same young Lady married the dog, not a hog to marry a dog, she married the frog to catch a King, I don't know why — perhaps she'll die. There was a young frog who...

Thank you
#Thank_you My hat is off, gratitude to the table. Lemme put on my dancing shoes, this is a call for celebration. Pop the ink out, Painting brush, firm on my right hand, Toss closer the rainbow colours Wanna pour my heart out, on this poetic board. Drip of smile, drizzle of love and some dash of happiness. See the driping joy...

Bones Remain Alive
Loitering around at the expense of my parents back, I too wish to be at the resemblance of hardworking thumbs, those same fingers that sewed the futile grounds back home, my mother’s yuca farm, my father's dying crops, dance taking their final waltz with the tumble- weeds in direction where my ancestors sleep while their bones continue...

Story Of Pat
Story of pat, Can you hear the sirens? The old mans values engulfed with burning lust of minors, Patrick’s family left in suspense & deprived, Waiting to hear news, if their son is alive. Peter 5:8 of the bible reads the devil walks among us, I have met him in a house on fifth street living just behind us, Across the road...

A Night of '89
A Night of '89 Footsteps at midnight the knock no one dared answer. Dogs howled in silence. Charred Bodies on the road, eyes still open to the sky. The crows never ask. Posters on the wall by morning, the faces fade. Smoke curls from tire pyres . Mother lights a lamp. Her son's shoes still by the door. She dares not whisper. Gunfire in the dusk, then a scream...
