In The Deserts Of Exile
by Jabra Ibrahim Jabra

Spring after spring,
In the deserts of exile,
What are we doing with our love,
When our eyes are full of frost and dust?

Our Palestine, green land of ours;
Its flowers as if embroidered of women's gowns;
March adorns its hills
With the jewel-like peony and narcissus;
April bursts open in its plains

Rebel
by Priyanka Roy

The world told me to hide my pain, my scars.
To hush, be quiet and unimportant.
I believed them.
I learnt to be timid, small and insignificant.
Then one day, I see this face
Of a little girl, very little-
her eyes, silent yet screaming of pain
Full of pain.
Her scars are deep and ruthless,
signs of torture and brutality.

For Suffering
by John O'Donohue

May you be blessed in the holy names of those
Who, without you knowing it,
Help to carry and lighten your pain.

May you know serenity
When you are called
To enter the house of suffering.

May a window of light always surprise you.

Blue Roses
by Yoko Fushigina

Long-long ago, as the ballad recalls,
In the castle with ivy woven in walls,
Under dark velvet skies, in the eye of the Moon
With sweet-scented fragrance blue roses bloomed.
Dare not to come close to the sharp spikes of white
For vermilion potion is kept in inside.
In those azure bushes, with hearts in a hand
A couple of lovers had found their end.
This story is ancient, as old as can be,
But the roses bore it for you and for me...

There screams
I hear then
Sleepless nights
I have

My scars
They burn
I feel them
The corpses
Screaming, crying

Out of guilt
by Saleh Ben Saleh

I think about,
the right and wrong.
And good and bad,
that comes along.
So on my guitar,
I play a song,
to ease the pain,
of morals gone.

For every tune,

Aborted Blooms
by Lyon Erkst

A strange silhouette looms over a budding seed,
Its caressing hand pressing downward
Is a confusion of acid smoke.
The small stem writhes within the soil as
Ethereal mist gathers above.

Yet within a lapse of inattention, the stem propels through.
A unique flower is born in the garden of aborted blooms.

Twisted creature, her stem is rotten.

Wounded Wings (The Agony That We Cannot Conceal)
by Oscar Auliq-Ice

You constant friend,
A presence that seems to never end.
You come in waves, you come in force,
A relentless feeling, a brutal source.

You are the thorn in every rose,
The cruel twist in life's repose.
You are the wound that won't heal,
The agony that we cannot conceal.

A Weight That Never Lifts
by Oscar Auliq-Ice

Pain, my constant companion
You cling to me like a shadow
A weight that never lifts
An unwelcome guest in my soul

You pierce me with your sharp claws
And gnaw at me with your teeth
You consume me with your fire
And drown me in your seas
