Beware Heart

By: Nuzhat Mehrin Khan

 

I found peace,

Whenever  I came near to you.

I found my existence,

Which I had forgotten.

I remembered you in the

Season of grief,

Whenever I was sad because of loneliness

I remembered you.

Beware heart!

You are falling in love once again.

Heart, stop right there

You are falling in love once again.

I don’t know why this happened,

I have often passed this lane

Where your house is

May be my heart had it that

I might meet you there.

I don’t know

What is the chain of events?

When there is nothing between us then

Why does heart weave our dreams?

I wanted to forget you.

But even that proved impossible,

I don’t know what this feeling is.

Beware heart!

You are falling in love once again.

 

 

You Know…

By: Gina Eairheart

 

You know…I’ve learned a lot about myself these past few years.

I’m stronger than I ever thought I was before.

I have more talent than I ever thought I could borrow from anyone else.

I learned to see in the mirror what was really there…a picture of beauty.

I’m a mother that did her best when she didn’t think her best was good enough.

I’m the daughter I always wanted to be, even if sometimes Daddy didn’t see.

I’m the sister that led instead of followed.

I am more than the words men use to entice me…and they don’t see all that is me.

My heart is pure and compassionate never changing its desire to love.

I am me, love me or hate me, it matters not at all, because this is me.

 

The Love of a Lifetime

By: Kelley Egan

 

The love of a lifetime

is truly defined

when our bodies intertwine,

you drink me like your favorite wine.

The love of a lifetime

are feelings no one knows

while kissing head to toe

you paint me like Van Gogh.

The love of a lifetime

takes my breath away

when there’s so much more to say

and here I want to stay.

 

“My Prince”

My life revolves around nature and the feel of dirt between my hands, while the sun dances on my shoulders. An activist at heart, loyal, and independent; my road is full of many twists and turns. Each path is laden with stones and flowered with brilliant daisies. Stones that hurt and stones that soothe, and daisies that greet and daisies that smirk. The path becomes clearer the further I walk, and with well-trodden feet, my day begins anew.
