A Wisp of Autumn Leaves RAHIM KARIMOV And a strand of your hair is a fragment of autumn leaves, Fallen on a pillow as if in September. Are they painted with ocher with a watercolor brush, Rustle like a fairy tale in the ear at dawn. Intoxicates the spicy scent of the golden garden Head spinning, fog in the eyes. All this autumn, happiness, joy and delight, Not on my shoulder, but on the pillow, sorry.

POETRY CLOUD 1, NOV 2019 Wayne Russell
So alone, dark has returned, the trees are bare, rain is falling. This guilty conscience, I harvest her memory every night in dreams. Life in exile, blues plays the sunrise, I play the reclusive music notes, swirling. No one shall notice if the world should stop, no one will notice if I slip away.

POETRY CLOUD 1, NOV 2019 SPRING SNOW Anna Ferriero
I saw a star as I was listening to my heart, I was happy and full of love. I saw a star as I was dreaming of your gaze there was a new perfume that in the waves of the sea it sounded new melody. A Flower was born it reminded the snow. I grazed that flower: spring has blossomed!

POETRY CLOUD 1, NOV 2019 Life Has an Answer Hasmukh Amathalal No more to explore but to go ahead and sincerely read
it is not a question that needs mention we have strong bond and relation and that is human relation
everybody is aware and always dares to live up to desires and fires the salvo
any living thing has an end and it is spent with joy and happiness

If you can't Preserve my fragrance Before I stop breathing into the heart of a flower keep my witheredness With the petals as bookmark Where we couldn't Write a love poem And the page was left blank...forever
If you can't save my image Into the corner of your eye Where colors with all their Shades and moods ... Sparkle Hide me behind the salt Into your tears And let me create for you

Flight of Dreams Alok Kumar Ray
Dreams tend to take flight naturally Give them wings of imagination Freedom to access mind genuinely To score high even surpassing the sky
Dreams are not subject to weathering Give them fresh air of determination Choice to fly anywhere regularly To have wings of air without being unfair
Dreams are very fund of puking Give them unblemished scintillation Chance to play like a child haphazardly To defy meddling but have zeal for gleaming
Dreams dodge to adhere to pulling

POETRY CLOUD 1, NOV 2019 CLOSED DOORS Shihab Jamal Closed doors boast of the aroma that once filled the hearts of people who chose to stay together; but separated by sealed emotions within
Closed doors keep aside surreal dreams destined to break ways in the tunnel of derailment, haunted by nocturnal cries of autumn
Closed doors talk of miseries and misfortunes people kept themselves in the fear of being, raped by the sarcasm of time
Closed doors invite guests from unknown lands to feast upon, the untold mysteries waiting to be explored in ruins.
Closed doors weep of incessant pain of desperation and destruction forced on refugees by the military regimes all over the world
Closed doors rip apart the heart of justice for the deserved,

Keep knocking.... Closed doors reveal much more than our obvious suppositions; let the closed doors open up their feelings suppressed over centuries of apprehensions.
