The Last Five Senses '1

...
By~Krish

and the air was a still lake
that would no longer ripple for me.
My breath was a whisper,
a moth beating tired wings
against the glass of existence.

Just a dream

...It was just a dream but I have a headache from tears I never shed. 
It was just a dream but my breath is racing. 
It was just a dream but my heart is still thudding in my chest. 
It was just a dre...

Mandrake and Other Temptations

...I sat where the ferns stood guard—
solemn sentries on wood pedestals—
my back pressed against her bookcase,
cradled in the soft hush 
of the window seat
as snow rehearsed its silence
just beyon...

London

...Shoreditch clung to its ruin
Its roughhewn gate staring out at corpses
And the clutch of travellers heading from the fields,
The shepherds rambling onwards,
The herders with their slow-moving cat...

empire beyond the clouds

...
 from this temple way up high
I see the city of gold below me,
and it shines no more.
What I help build with my hands,
now condemns me...is my curse.

I can see the great kingdom,

nativity: a fragment of heaven descending

...mary (a quiet yes) bows low
as light (soft as breath) spills into her womb—
a promise cradled in infinite space.
joseph’s hands (calloused & trembling)
grasp the weight of whispers:
holy. imposs...

Raining in Summer

...Unseasonal summer rains at once burst
Everywhere litter and garbage dispersed
Making men run here and there for shelter
In no time, life becomes helter-skelter 
 
Unexpected like facing an old f...

Touch

...Featherlight touches
Fluttering kisses
Thudding heartbeats
One look
One gasp
A million desires erupt.

Crashing

...Your sand, my waves
you're every grain 
hotter than one 
can possibly explain.
My water 
trickles to you ,

just to tease,
increasing 
in urgency to aid 
in your release.

Bells

...The bell rang once, a faint tingle; 
clear, sharp in the cold, numbing air
yet strangely muffled in the mist.
All heard it, the distant, single;
ting, behind the droning prayer.
Though not a sou...

An Existential Curiosity

...Rocking back and forth with a Magellan hat, Lennie prepares for sailing.
Incoherent babbling is heard from the explorer on all fours. 
Items of existential curiosity, once seen from afar and distan...

Cosmic Trane

...Hurry! Hurry!
All aboard the Cosmic Trane
Where the mind runs free and
the soul feels no pain
A location for the elevation of
humanness to the existential
realm of salvation
Galactic spiritual...

El Gato Sonador - a Cats Dream

...In a quiet night of deep sleep
The blankets harbor me – the night to unfold
A myriad of dreams my unspoken secrets keep
 As cinematic stories attempting to be told

The curtains open while orche...

City At Night

...City At Night

by Edmund Siejka


It was cold outside
I hadn’t shaved in days and I was hungry 
I was going to walk it 
Only a few blocks 
Through the same streets I walked every day 
So ho...

Of life and love and death and pain
For tears stream silent in the rain
