Look in my eyes,
tell me you care.
Tell me the truth –
If you dare.
Don’t look away
from me again.
I know your heart,
I see your pain.
I know your mind,
I see your fear;
I look away
to hide my tears.
One day my friend,
we may be free,
to sit and talk,
and share some tea.

Rainbow transience
ephemera of the mind,
love intransigent
no respect of time.
Shimmering splendour
the summer of our life.
Majestic magnificence,
cutting with a knife.
What tantalising trickery
deceiver of our sight,
fleeting, sneering, mockery,
obsessional opulent light.
Delightful and delusional,
experienced by all.
Impermanent illusion,
to trip and then to fall
Cloud burst emotions
pour down like summer rain.
Refractive reflections,
the eternal lovers’ pain.

Our plan for the next anthology shall be a very traditional, along the theme of the metaphysical. We hope to feature works dealing with the more esoteric, romantic side of the human experience, in the vein of the classic metaphysical poets. So think life, death, nature, romance and classic philosophical themes. A real chance to showcase your talents as a writer.
We are looking for both formal poetry structures, and more contemporary styles, and even free verse. So in other words, knock yourselves out with this one. We’d like to see what you can do.
Please send submissions (maximum of 4/5 a time so we can give our…
