Thick as deep summer night, lush and moon dripped Wine sipped with dark delight Banter rouses whimsey’s kite Amorous thoughts taking flight ...

I sipped the silence, as stars stirred the sky. My thoughts brewed heavy in a porcelain sigh. The moon knew secrets I dared not keep— and poured them gently into my sleep....

12am, alone in my room crying. shaking. just wondering— what made you do it? why did you hide her? why did you lie and tell me everything was “fine” you said you loved me maybe you only loved having a toy something you could use then toss out maybe i didn’t mean anything to you maybe i wasn’t ever anything....

Weekend's sweet reprieve unfolds in Lagos's vibrant streets, alive with rhythm and laughter, I stroll down alleys, searching for a place to rest my weary soul A lounge beckons, warm and bright pepper soup's spicy aroma wafts I sit, and soft drinks soothe my throat three ladies join me, their smiles bright dancing queens, they throw me off scale their laughter infectious, joyful Music's melodic whispers...

The city sleeps, a myriad of hushed dreams, but above the quiet rooftops, a different kind of life unfolds. The streetlights, distant stars, cast long, serpentine shadows down empty lanes. A breeze, a lilt of forgotten music, whispers through the highest leaves. Somewhere beyond the familiar haze, the lunar glow fights through, a pale witness to the night's slow turning. I imagine currents of light, a cascade...

Long after midnight in late December woke one night in total fright as where I was did not remember but more importantly couldn't see the forest for the trees and did not recall myself at all or who exactly was this me but when I could it would feel so good as then I'd be out of the woods so instead of groping blind did quite the obvious...

“The darkened sky stole my tears” and left me to face the threat of cancer with deep doubts. Fear overwhelmed me, my tears absentee, dreading the shadows of my whereabouts. Not hiding my bald head maybe was dumb; my plague, the curse of chemo, I abhorred. Then I read the beginning of wisdom is found in the fear (reverence) of...

You ride through shadows, chasing dawn, But you never saw the storm you spawned. I’m not the girl you left behind-- I walk the dark with purpose, spine. Your wheels may spin on borrowed fate, But I was born to navigate. I don't chase ghosts or beg for grace; I set my fire and claim my place. The night knows me--I wear its...

Midnight Star Radiant night Darkness takes flight Candles with a low dim light Star’s glow bright Oceans crash on the rocks Moonlight on the docks Your reflections tread across the water Stand by you forever Take me under Black sky watches over A second chance Together at last You are Midnight Star It’s burns from...

This poem is an English translation of one of the beautiful Bengali poem of PS poet Malabika Ray. Midnight chimes unveil in cascade, glances of your shimmering face engulfing me in a transient dream... As if you never went away! As if I didn't wake up to see you're gone! As if I no longer felt the shatters of pain...

Generation, slide like land? Fall into the sea? Toil, tamarind! Much is planned! So then, file my plea! Weather, looking bad of late. Volcanic my hate! Cross the world or just the strait? Better set the date! Thunder, roll above us all! Floodwaters to rise! Fate and Fortune, fill the hall! He who seeks the prize: Here is one last riddle! Nothing is to last? Play, O second fiddle? Goblin,...

ABYSS Abyss, a Place of Redemption solace space curling then unfurling here we sail drowsy dark seas no boats or oars, unaccompanied converse with walrus and whales black shimmers silent, we brook it Abyss, a cloak of protection as alchemy distills gross, grime, goo a thousand fingers unseen sew broken pieces of Life, loosen patronising hooks Angels of ...

Traveling through these thoughts of mine. Thinking of all the things I’ve left behind. Wondering what may come in future time. Hoping for the pain to subside. As were put through to take the test. Doing only what we think is best. Trying to be better than all the rest. Finding comfort within our nest. Yet in our struggles, we bring ourselves pain. Trying...
