Just Strangers With Memories

by Anisha Nyambe

We're not friends, not enemies,
just strangers with memories
loosely hanging on the wall;
silently awaiting to die and fall.
Pass me by and remember to forget
a pausing moment you wish to regret.
Our eyes shall meet
and we shall shuffle our feet
when the smile we try to form
is the exact opposite of norm.

Nostalgia

by Xia Sava

Nostalgia is a lighthouse
shining its light for new ships

Nostalgia enjoys what is,
no desire for things to change,

but ere long, Nostalgia watches
as the ships sail away

so Nostalgia waits

If only I had known

by Raina Hutchins

If only I had known I’d never hear your voice again
Or hear you whisper sweetly in my ear
I’d memorise each word of love you ever said to me
So when I'm all alone, your voice I’ll hear

If only I had known it was the last time I would see
The man I love with all my heart and soul
I would have held on tighter and kept you close to me
And never would have ever let you go

The Earth's Fragrant Farewell to Love

by PARI SINGHAL

Under the first rain's gentle embrace,
I sat at the gate, a smile on my face,
Inhaling the earth's sweet, familiar scent,
"Mitti ki khushboo," a cherished event.

Once, I'd envisioned us dancing in the rain,
Laughing and walking, free from all pain,
But today, as the raindrops fell from above,
I found solace in nature, in the absence of love.

Vintage Blues

by Evelyn Judy Buehler

indigo evening
the lapis lazuli sea
lovely blue roses

sunshine bluebonnets
teal skies of happier days
megastar asters

ribbiting frogs, pond
nights on the town midnight blue

Long Ago

Long ago.
Riding
in the
car,

Mom and

up front.
Long gone
now.

Nostalgia

by Xia Sava

As Before

by Lee-Ann Azzopardi

If you should forget about me
Remember the one
Who shook the bed with her feet
And wrote sonnets about you
Knowing she didn't have a chance
To be yr lover
I was the one who taught you about poetry
Who cried when Forrest Gump cried
and how I would watch it over and over
If you should forget about me

Excerpts from Life

by Saleh Ben Saleh

My mind had often wondered of a world beyond our hold,
where every soul reveals its secrets and all the truth untold.

With age our youth will fade,
and with hope our lives ignite.
In a withered cage the soul remains,
till the day that brings delight.

Promises made are hard to keep,
but in honour I find my pride.

The Effects of Memory

by Michael R. Burch

The Effects of Memory
by Michael R. Burch

A black ringlet curls to lie
at the nape of her neck,
glistening with sweat
in the evaporate moonlight ...
This is what I remember

now that I cannot forget.
