Don’t disturb me.
You don’t deserve me.

only his insanity

May 2020 Regina

Bogdan Dragos

only his insanity

the last time he went out of
his mind he liked it
so much there
that he never came back

not even after the
alcohol left
his blood

he keeps writing to this day

addresses women with 'sweangel'
a combination of sweet
and angel, I guess

but never spends more
than a matter of weeks
with any of them

some take pity on him
and some morbid curiosity

but no one loves him
truly
only his insanity

FIGHT OR FLIGHT

May 2020 Regina

Mathew P Nangolo

FIGHT OR FLIGHT

The world is at war
fighting a bitter battle
a no gun or bullet battle

It's an unusual war
that requires us all
to kneel down

kneel down and fight
fight with a prayer
and through quarantining

It attacks us like a whirlwind
and the flight is out of necessity
but fighting is a necessity

Digging up old memories

Raghu Menon

Digging up old memories

With nothing to do,
With nowhere to roam around,
With being forced to confine yourselves,

Just digging into the past,
Digging up old memories
That's what the pandemic is
Allowing us to do...

The COVID is forcefully changing us, asking us to put breaks and reflect. Some things bad, but somethings definitely good.

if i was dead

if i was dead

Do I ever cross your mind?
If you heard that I was dead,
Would you think of me?
Would you think of what you could’ve done differently?
If I was dead, if I was dead, if I was dead

Do I ever cross your mind?
If you heard that I was dead,
Would you cry?
Did you know that I loved you?
If I was dead, would you forget me?
If I was dead, if I was dead, if I was dead

loss and fear co-exist

loss and fear co-exist

i want to tell you.
i really do.
i'd love to spill my secrets, my issues to you.
yet i can't comprehend it.
i can't communicate it to you.
and the fact you could leave me.
it makes my heart a tearful blue.
you already look at me as if i'm broken.
what do i have to lose?
i want to tell you.
i really do.
yet i can't cope with the fact.
the fact your presence may fade.
vanish without a trace.
except you'd still have that key.
the key that can unlock the darkness in my brain.

this poem is in honour of my teacher who wants me to know that i can talk to him. but it's nearing the end of the year and he may not be my teacher next year. i fear that if i tell him too much i won't be able to cope that next year he might be wandering around with the burden of my thoughts i selfishly put on him without being able to do much to help me. and that i won't be able to connect with another teacher like i have with him. so, in general, this poem isn't really about telling him about my issues. it's about the fact that i might lose his presence in my life and that he's one of the last things that's keeping me sane. this poem is about loss. XD sorry for the mini rant i just needed to get this out there y'know.

Poem: What Pleases Him

Poem: What Pleases Him

As God works within my life,
He provides me the desire and
power to do what pleases Him;
when emulating Jesus Christ,

His Light shines outwardly…
from me, naturally. Arm-in-arm
with my Lord, I’m journeying
on my path; others may not see,

like or understand- what I’ve
envisioned for myself; with
His principles applied to my
life, I’m poised to thrive

in doing… what pleases Him!
