Dreams Poems
Metal Man
by Icerus S
Heavy would the heart be that could hold up this empty vessel.
Robotic mighty standing as Atlas under the great weight of the cosmos on his back.
Broken countless times, yet reforged, made stronger by life's burning flames.
Sleep evades the psyche, dreams, imaginations flitter back and forth from present to past lastly disappeared.
Focus lost at every turn, where did the fae go, where did the years go, where did the dreams go.

My Murder Confession
by Melvyn Kairupan
In a haze, I stumble,
tripping over my own feet,
dragging my breath through a hill drowned in fog.
Cold. Fucking cold.
Solitude chewing through my skin,
biting into my bones.
And then—
you.

Midnight
by Mourid Barghouti
My grandfather, still harbouring the illusion
that all is well with the world,
fills his countryside pipe
for the last time
before the advent of the helmets and bulldozers.
On the bulldozer's teeth
my grandfather's cloak gets hooked.
The bulldozer retreats a few yards,

A Sonnet of She Carries Life
by Ayatullah Nurjati
She carries life, a quiet bloom
The earth beneath her feels her grace
Within her heart, the sun finds room
A sacred hymn in time and space
Her steps, a rhythm, soft and kind
Through barren fields and shadows deep
The seeds of hope she leaves behind
She sows the dreams the world shall reap

The Sandman
by Helene Johnson
He catches dust o' dreams to carry in his sack,
The dust a falling star leaves shining in its track,
He walks the milky-way, then down the dark-staired skies,
His tinkling footsteps hush the world with lullabies.
And when he reaches you, his fragrant gentle hands
Fill deep your drowsy eyes with fairy golden sands.

Wishful Thinking
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
It's the New Year's boom
with colored fireworks lauding,
the toast of the town.
The proud, old guard has vanished,
with its dreams, yet unvanquished.
Hues light the plum night;
'midst crash and bang in the skies.
Starry-eyed moon glows.
The past's still following me,

4. I was flying
by Kea Campbell
I was flying.
It felt like freedom.
If felt like a body of feathers,
My mind and body of feathers.
I was flying with a purpose,
I was flying to her.
Though I did not know her,
She gave me purpose.

It just came to be
by Gideon Okari
Smokes and water
Lets just say vapour
I’m drowning. in
One of two maybe
Both
My words may rhyme
And of your favour
How do I get
In water can’t swim
In smoke can’t see
