Emotions Poems
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

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.

Blue/Red
by Ashleigh Owsley
Am I blue or am I red?
am I bitter, am I upset?
Am I allowed even allowed to be red?
To be is to live.
Do they resent me for my resentment?
I feel nothing, I feel it all.
Emotions I am unable to describe, I draw them on the wall.
I bite my lip, I consume myself
I don’t see whatever it is they are seeing.
I am my only lover, but I hate me more than I love anything.

Prison
by Shira Yovel
Static. Elongated. Loud. Present. Clear.
Piercing. Slow. Sharp.
An existence.
Stuck in the middle of nothing.
Nothing being the space

Unknown, The Remnant Strands
by Hudhaifah siyad
It befalls on me the intensity,
Catapulted with dire immensity,
Within which lives the sensitivity,
Of them emotions built, the lightest.
Then befell on me, the beknownst,
Whistled in hymnes and in absence,
The peculiarities in offsetting balances,
Them unknown like the remnant strands,
And today rejoicing to the kinds of sounds,

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.

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?
