Emotions Poems
Ribbons
by Nora La King
They are pulled from me;
Stretched, knotted, and
Burned in a fireplace
Where trust and human emotions,
Are turned to blackened ash
I am left an empty roll.
The ribbons of my feelings,
Manhandled, manipulated
Mitigated, and misunderstood.

Monetize
by Kevin Schroeder
How does one monetize an emotion?
Trading raw truths in a marketplace of feelings,
Where every vulnerability wears a price tag,
Every confession a coin.
I lay bare my joy’s
The laughter that dances like sunlight,
And the sorrows, dark as night,
Offering them up as wares crafted from my soul.

A Black Smile
by Hébert Logerie
Don’t smile with me if you don’t want to
Because I am not a mirror
Don’t be like a bluffer who gives me a black smile
A strange, nervous and abnormal smile
Because I am not a josher
Show me the genuine emotions of you
Give me something normal or natural
I am not asking for anything special
Just be yourself and I will appreciate it
Don’t give something unusual and vile

As we search
by Carl Sinderby
All i am in this moment is bare
a complete vision of myself
nothing to hide, something to share
the simplicity of being real
gracefulness in showing your true self
your beauty is within the love you show.
Sharing emotions without boundaries
listening to your self belief
finding freedom in your forgiveness

The Story of House
by Nimesh Bhandari
These bricks tell the story of erstwhile house, through the cavities they now own
The walls stoop to let the nostalgia scoop,
The banyan tree creeped ,to make the house its story squeak.
Father burried his dreams, for his children who were his gleam,
The house was build with his hardships as the foundation,
He stood on his feet to let the building complete,
It was inexact, it was incomplete for the need of cash,
He continued his travails, to let his children and the puppy prevail.

You as my habit
by Sworup Ghimire
Every day i wake up
Just to see your face
I open the phone
Wondering about you as it gets
I guess you are my habit
Habit i cannot get loose of
I see you smile
It makes me wonder
“If you notice me now”
......
Hope i will....
by Sworup Ghimire
The road i shall walk
Is now all beautiful than usual
The roads that hold' my memories
Are prettier than usual
It too knows that soon i am gone
Gone for the crime i have never done
I now face the harsh truth of the crooks
Which i shall never have had too
Oh god have a mercy upon me
The one who should be

The beaten heart
by Raven Quigley
My heart is black and blue
And I am not interested in you
Though considering
I maybe blue
I can be such a fool
For that can you win me for you?
Or will you play with me too?
