Grief for the Time! by Dr. Prasana Kumar

 


Grief for the Time!

Walking alone, I did come across you,
It poured and you got lost somewhere ,
As if a dream had passed away from me,
And it's a bit hard to forget you now,
Just in a moment you became my life,
Then you gave grief for the life time,
On the rainy night my heart was broken,
I remember your wet face looking great,
You have never gone through memories,
I feel like feeling you here this evening ,
As you and the very weather used to be,
My journey of love caught the evil eyes,
Tounge is silent though my heart breaks,
You look happy and you are not mine.

Illusion by Aminu Femi Jamiu

 


Illusion

I fell for the star,
Until I see the moon.
I fell for daffodil,
Until I see rose.
I fell for beauty,
Until emotion bemused me.

Deeply feelings,
Heavenly bounds,
Love exploded!

Shining softly in azure of sky,
Like the soul soil of Senegal,
That planted her seeds of love,
Blooming in a tender grace!

Oh, Illusion bereaved me!
Love life lust in its leisure,
As aorn adorned in an erotic err!

In a leer ineptitude of its inertness,
Fancy fairy fore it's fair,
All abound in abyss of aberration.
Nor am I in scintillate of sacrosanct;
But beneath the bubble of its bay,
Immortality swayed her coins at my palm.

Peng by Vjollca Aliaj (Albanian Language)

 


Peng (Albanian Language)

Shoh ëndërra për një kohë tjetër,
duke u djegur në flakë të ngazëllimeve
mbaj gjallë orët e shfazuara të këtij shekulli zvaranik.

Peng e lashë shpirtin për t'u bërë përrallë e qiejve,
ndarë në copëza si mozaiku i psherëtimave mitike
Kopetë e reve janë vënë përpara nga barinj në formë ëngjëjsh,
blegërijnë vetminë time homerike...

Shoh ëndërra për një kohë tjetër ,
duke i shtrirë hapat mes dy shekujve
ormisem në palë të ditëve.

Peng e lashë shpirtin për t'u bërë përrallë e qiejve,
ndarë në copëza, mijëra vjet...

Mohter's Uncontional Love
( Happy Mother’s Day )

Embracing the whole world ,
Confining the universe,
within herself,
Nurturing the tender soul,
Inside her womb,
She’s a package of,
Unconditional brimming love ,

A splendour of a mother,
Lies in the diversity,
A personality so dynamic,
A maestro of talents galore,

She’s a magical poetry,
A rainbow on the canvas,
Flourishing the reigns of life,
An unwavering navigator,
A healer of all the woes,

Singing lullabies in the cradle of night,
Whispering bedtime stories,
Baking cakes and making shakes,
Encountering every struggle,,
And triumphs,
Reshaping her perspectives,

A heart with a deep abyss,
Full of forgiveness,
With indomitable spirit,
Enchantress of symphony,

Carrying a prestigious crown,
She’s a phenomenal woman ,
Full of mysteries,
A God figure,
known as MOTHER….!!

"The Most Beautiful Woman" by Yasmine Harmoush, from the Mother's Day Gifted Words Anthology

 


* The Most Beautiful Women *


A mother’s giving never runs out. She is like a bee that collects love from all the flowers of life and turns it into pure honey with which she waters her children while she is at the peak of happiness. Because she is accustomed to giving without counting, and without expecting anything in return from anyone, she stays up for the comfort of her family, without thinking for a moment about the consequences of staying up long. Because her only concern is for her children to remain well, and for them to be cared for and cared for at all times.

The mother’s virtue is great, not only because she gives without counting or getting tired, but because she occupies her mind and heart with her children, and is not satisfied with being satisfied unless they are full, and does not sleep at night if they do not sleep before her, and she reassures them, and even after they grow up and rely on themselves, the mother’s spirit remains attached to her children, always worried. Protect them from any evil that may befall them, as her sincere feeling always precedes her to know what is happening to them even before they tell her, said the poet Hafez.


Yasmine Abdel Salam Harmoush Location North Lebanon/Safira Date of birth: August 15, 1988 Academic qualifications: – Specialization in expertise and auditing in financial accounting achievements: -The collection of “Qatuf Al-Yasmeen” – The book “Jasmine” Publishing and translation: Yasmine has published her work in most Arab newspapers and magazines international.

"I am a Woman (Dedicated to my Mother) by Tarana Turan Rahimli, from the Mother's Day Gifted Words Anthology

 


I am a Woman 

(Dedicated to my Mother)

I am not a painter,

But I know a lot of colors, 

Most of painters are unaware of them:

Color of love, color of longing, color of grief…

 

I am not a composer,

But I am able to hear the sounds,

Of which any composer can’t hear:

Sound harmony of parting, joining and hope,

 

I am not a gardener,

But as I feel the scents of flowers, 

I also can feel the scent of days and months,

Fragrant garland of colorful feelings 

Gives a charm to my life,

 

I am not a painter, 

I am not a composer, 

I am not a gardener either…

I am a woman,

Whom the God created, 

In a pleasant hour…

There is the light of love of God,

In my eyes and in my heart…

"Appraisal of "Her Beauty" by Tajalla Qureshi, from the Mother's Day Gifted Words Anthology

 


Appraisal of

           “Her Beauty”

 

Beyond the blue clouds and white ocean,

Poetry switches and swings with the Greek notion,

High up in the sky, Apollo whispers her artistic aura,

Even beguiles the wariness of Hera, keeping in flora,

And Aphrodite loves her love, acclaims the veiling devotion,

Dance in dazzle, her imprints utter, gentle compels in motion,

Vehemently, Venus often invites her beauty,

So far, Athena adores her victorious duty,

Apollo offers her, his arrow, yet, to conquer the sparrow,

Wisdom bows before her knees bamboozle the rough and narrow,

She befriends Aphrodite and Athena for the scent of loveliness,

All, with Selena, who clicks her on the moon for a dress,

Appraise her aroma, in sliver stars, Selena opens art.

 

 Tajalla Qureshi - a literary enchantress who weaves embroideries of thoughts and passions with the delicacy of a leading artist in the realm of words. She is a gifted wordsmith from Pakistan.
