In the Roses path by Hassan al-Mahdi
The colorful butterflies dance with me, I am who is the aromatic tree. I open thousands sleeve over my face that comes from a distant nebula. Nebula that doesnot fit the devourers or the rodents.
Laying my hands as trunks dangle with breeze of the morning for the canarys and sparrows, meanwhile the pink color coronate the other side of the sun.
The time fannished in the black sheets and the love talismans were written by hot cloud rain draw from my eye at sympathy awhile. And in the path of roses. I look with the grace at the poor red dragonfly faltering in the throw of purpose. Oh, lost dreams in the kingdom of immortality between the bow and the arrow poison venom.
In the roses path, there are only the shadows headers in the courtyard bay, space smoke, fire attendants and a crystaly tragedies enveloping the bodies.

Tale of a Tree by Nidhi Kunvarani
One day by the grace of supreme divinity
I was sent here on the earth with the intense to give people to love, shelter,
fruits and also mirth! My roots heir in the creation of ameba to ape and ape to
men! That's all the history I've been
read about my heritage whosoever had written! I love to spread love among my
family, friends and whomsoever to I meet! In small span of life wish to give my
best as candle light! Some people have many times tried to cut me
without knowing my pains! But, my roots are much deeper they didn't know
I'll bear once again as phoenix from those remained ashes! My wish is not to world;
write my name with golden carves. I wish to remain alive forever in few hearts
to my family and friends and you all are Pilgrimages!

The Old Oak Tree by Walid Boureghda
She had scrounged an instant of silence from time, and had
commenced to forage around in the stream of events. Although the wind was
heavily blustering and the leaves were swayingly falling off the trees, a total
tranquility was soundly overwhelming all through before her. Her single
reflection just showed up whilst she was staring at the old oak tree in the
nearby, questionably wondering how awkwardly the gusty wind was wagging its
branches.
The wind was spotlessly trying to break down the old oak's bole;
yet the tree was highly adamant, only its dead leaves naturally fell off, just
like her tears of despair when her eyes were fully shedding down her rosy
cheeks. Despite the disappearance of pain and the stillness of its blemishing
effects, her crystal tears were miraculously sent forth as a magic balm on the
incurable wounds.

Two Poems by Anjali Denandee
The Ruminant
Then I was a girl. I lived in Chaitanyabati
village. At afternoon, I played on the bank of the river Damadar. I watched
that so many cows were returning in their sheds. Their mouths were covered by
net musks so they were trying to eat the plants of the fields which were side
of their way but couldn't eat for the net musks. But they tried and tried again
and again. Ultimately, they reached in their destinations in the sheds. They
were ruminants so they were chewing again. Then, I came back from the playing
field to my house just at evening. Then my mother enlightened our house with
lamps. She showed that lamp-light to the cow's shed also. And I was always with
her as her shadow. Now I am in New Delhi like the ruminant I am working with my
past memories now
I am not I
am
I am the cloud.
Yet, I am nothing. When I gift my water as rain, then I am not I am. I become
satisfied after the raining from me. By my rain, the Earth becomes very happy!
But, I am finished by own self, by me. And never come back, as same as the
lives of the Earth, who dyi, they never return. Yes, I am only for sacrifice.
Though, I am ever free yet, I come down by the attraction of the Earth, on it.
Anjali Denandee, India
Silence of the flowers by Virginia Jasmin Pasalo
It is getting to be a habit, this three-hour sleep. I woke up at
2:45 a.m., listening at first to the sound of parrots imitating the sound of
humans and the Gregorian chant imitating the voice of angels. Then, I turned
off the music and listened to the streets that never sleep.
The streets have many stories to tell, but never spoke. Others
spoke for them, the blood of suspected addicts for example, still cries for
justice, long after it was backed by the heat underneath and the sun above it.
The dirt too, and the dog shit, cursed as people stepped on them, and they
fumed even after being carted away, or conveniently covered with sand. There’s
blood and stink in the streets of Marawi and they too are shouting stories,
muted by the silence of the authorities. There is a deafening quiet in the
news, in the mimes, and the memes.
No one seems to listen, and people pass by, hurrying to go to
places, in quick steps, and when interrupted in any way, utter monosyllabic
curses repeated many times over, that it becomes a sentence with no specific
subject and no defined predicate. Winds, stronger than their voices, blew the
stories away, and brought them to the sea, where the mermaids kept them as
songs, composed by others, from a distance, where the grass was green, once. And
then i listen to the silence. I listen to the silence of the flowers.
