Poetry from Graciela Noemi Villaverde

Light skinned Latina woman with blonde hair and earrings and a black top.
COME
 
Like a boat wake 
What, escape from time 
And not from water
I come from the slow day of words, 
That the moment undoes to the elements
I come and prostrate myself at this time of the afternoon, before the altar of shadows
I come from the gestures that have sunk in a sea 
Without voices, with dry violet eyes, on the bottom rock
I know that the twilights accumulate and surround me
Here I am 
I have been going, silently, for the silences
The times do not match 
The words leave me in cycles of old voices 
That's why I come and go 
No questions, no answers.

Poetry from Zilola Khamrokulova

I love you

confess i love you today
I hid this love for years.
I hid from my father, I hid from you
I hid from the world, even from myself.
I buried it deep in my heart,
But I remember you every day…
My mind recognized love this day,
At that time I ran to you,
My eyes are full of tears, my heart is full of toys,
My hands are shaking with excitement,
Sometimes red cheeks from embarrassment,
My lips whisper your name.
Mother, mother, there are thousands, mother,
I just can’t put this word out of my mouth,
I’ll give it to you if you need it, dear,
I always think about you.
Mother, my heaven, my priceless state,
I love you more than anything,
Knowing that my heart is pounding
Sorry, I realized this feeling later.
Having struggled for nine months,
At that time you suffered a thousand pains,
Now the most suitable girl for you,
I walk around in the gardens of paradise.
I will scatter flowers on your path,
Kneel down at your feet, kiss your feet,
Carrying me to Mecca in my head
Drink zam-zam water from your hands.
Mother, mother, there are thousands of mothers,
I just can’t put this word out of my mouth,
I’ll give it to you if you need it, dear,
I always think about you.

Poetry from Rano Babamurodova

Unbookish children 

Every nation wants its offspring,  

To be educated 

They will surely reach perfection if,  

They read a lot of books.  

Somehow, today, in our time,  

Not everyone likes reading.  

We do not have interests in,  

Becoming better generation.  

The technologies became the global 

Global problems of the world.  

If we were book readers,  

We would have definitely solved it.  

Let’s read more often 

Let’s make our minds think broadly.  

Let’s make our parents proud,

Poetry from Brian Michael Barbeito

the rain tarot blues, the world weary watery hues

along the worlds, the sleepy town, passengers by the mile, the down trodden in spirit for they have money but lack a smile. oh the skies; seven days and nights of it…wind and water and dark, even the artists who muse upon such things say, ‘This here is no lark.’ and somewhere past air brakes and tires on puddles melancholic and lit by electric light and chemical rainbows both, beyond old time Christian church some kind of Protestantism, further than the purlieu of the pastoral world (pastoral in summer sun past anyhow), is the unknown den of coyote far past the feral fields beyond coyote road. the tarot reader places the cards and speaks. there are truths spoken about the orphan soul, and how journey’s take their toll, but to yet take heart; for much w/light is writ for a double crowned poet inside an astral scroll. deep inside the witching hour dream between strange hours I walked in a small space w/kindred souls looking on. the space is too small, thought I; and it must mean I have outgrown it. and I awoke to the old rain laden branches outside the window, and they said nothing.

Poetry from Mahbub Alam

Ours is a Place

Ours is a place
Where nature smiles on
Ours is a place where birds circle overhead
Ours is a place
The green welcomes
Ours is a place where the peacock dances with colorful feathers
Ours is a place 
Where the tigers, the lions roar in the Sundarbons
Ours is a place
Where rivers, lakes run through almost all its areas
Ours is a place 
We love each other
Ours is a place which we bought
In exchange of sea blood
Ours is a place
We sleep with a sweet dream and get up
Walk hand in hand stepping in and out all over.
