Yearning Poems
Her Eyes
by Aurel Mirashi
Her eyes are the color of the moon,
Her body has the complexion of the sea.
Her lips taste sweeter than wine,
Her hair is black as the night.
I'm neither a friend nor a lover,
I'm a specter inside her chest.
Her cold gaze haunts me,
The walls are crumbling in me.
The Red Room
by Liv Atkinson
I think that if you were to crack my ribs
If you were to peel back my skin and cleave apart the muscle and cartilage and bone
Let me bleed as you dig your fingers into the cavity of my chest, clutch my heart, and pull,
If you were to take it and cut it into a million tiny pieces,
You would find a little red door
With an old brass handle.
The door would open to a room the color of merlot wine
With cherry hardwood floors.
It has yellow paper stars on the rich walls
And glossy guitars

Thinking about the one I saw in my imagination,
A kiss carried by the east wind,
Shook my body, trembled my existence.
In the garden, I dozed off in her chest,
Her words engraved in my soul,
Her lips sealed in my aching heart.
A Renaissance Of Love
by Hébert Logerie
I spend days thinking of you
And nights dreaming of you
Your smiling image is stuck in my eyes
And your voice is buzzing in my ears
It’s fascinating after so many years
I’m still reminiscing of your sweet apple pies
When you used to spoon-feed me
And wipe my lips with kisses of honey.
I tried to forget you, to move on

Thoughts On A Silent Night
by Aurel Mirashi
Late at night looking at the sky,
Sparkling stars and dancing moon,
Drifting clouds so few,
I so wish I were with you.
Silence of my time
by Aurel Mirashi
In the silence of my time,
You came and turned my world upside down.
O girl, let us stop and weep,
For we saw each other on the marble stairs,
Let us go home and kiss.
In the silence of my time
I felt your body against mine.
You shone like a diamond,
You flew like a swan,

I cherish it
by Gideon Okari
It sprouted from unseeming waters
Grew so large making me afraid
Afraid of ever loosing it
The thought of it suffocating
But hope I have
Of a long journey together
One which is neverending
From seconds to years
Treasuring the time spent
And memories never to be lent

Day After Day
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi
How long will I live with this?
My heartaches are too much
Every day I wake up with numbness
And every night, I end up in tears
On my pillow
There's nothing new about this
It happens day after day
Only a voice will wake my happiness
If it is yours, please, let it be so
