Two Micropoems by Borna Kekic Milac

Second Love

I will give my love to someone else 

but I will remember you to the end 

every new spring comes

let our old memory unite!

□

Looking for Love

If you seek love, never cry

because only the stronger 

always find it,

If you seek love

do not fight for it

but only open your heart 

wide

Five Micropoems On Love by Madhu Gangopadhyay

I FEEL YOU 

Love in the February air

The lavender scent

That blow through my hair

Touch my cheeks; I feel you

Breathing warm at the nape

Frantically I look,

only void gapes!

□

ENIGMATIC SMILE 

Your enigmatic smile

Sauve, dandified style

Swept me off my feet

I surrendered complete!

Let you rule my heart

Only to tear my world apart!

□ 

ON THAT AUTUMN 

The jingling of her anklets

Mingled with the music of the river

On that autumn eventide

The horizon a canvas carmine

As the capricious drizzle fell

In my bosom you hid to melt!

□ 

TWO TORRID SOULS 

Flushed with amour

The fervent heart heaved

Honey laced stories weaved

Ancient music floated from afar

Desires swelled to kiss the stars

Two torrid souls hold no bar!

□ 

LOVE COLOURS 

A feverish feel, a feral gasp

On charcoal night sprinkle stardust!

A camelia blossoms in a desert

Sweet aches transform into art

Love colours the bland soul

The lonesome becomes whole!

Your love will make me 

see the better days

Let us treasure our love in everyday!

Four Micropoems on Love by Dr. Govindprasad S Kushwaha

BETWEEN 

My life is fleeting

and joys receding,

Always keep on

meeting and parting.

Love life is crushed

Between these two

And parting

deepens

Fated soul’s woe.

□

HER EYES STAB

My beloved is sweeter

than fragrant flowers,

And haunt

my heart

during

my waking hours.

Her eyes stab my heart

and leave it bleeding,

No thyme found

to cure

the twinge

I’m feeling.

□

OVER TO SEA

Come

my love

and hold

my hand,

I’ll go with you

over to sea

and sand.

Walk with me

and see

I may not fall,

Undergo grief

and pleasure

above all.

□

BLISS

Blond moon

slowlymeasures

the blue sky,

Our love deep

must bring

bliss in life dry.

Love loose

not its hold,

Let’s keep

the pledge,

And navigate

our vessel

safe to the life’s

sea edge.

Three Micropoems on Love by Evica Kraljić

BETWEEN THE STARS

I often sneak up

Under the shadows

Chestnuts.

I need strength

Ours

Dreaming.

Let's meet

Again between

The stars.

□

THE JOY OF RETURN

Open heart

Awakened day

Elevated thought,

The joy of returning,

In town

Love…!

□

NEW DAY WITH YOU

The hands are the same,

It's the same breath,

It's the same step.

Spilled tenderness

In the fields

Lavender.

In front of me

New day

With you!

colourful 

and active butterfly,

It is

Love!

Three Micropoems on Love by Nishat Jabeen

BETWEEN US 

If trust is the issue

Let's break it,

I don't prefer anything 

Between us,

Love is love!

□

BUT YOU

How simply you decided 

To leave me alone

And a good rebound

At my doorstep yet again

But you have aggravated 

My woes and wounds

More than previous ones!

□

DEAR DARLING 

O dear darling! 

I am gliding 

In the avalanche of agonies 

In your book of vision

But I fathom your gloom

I can't read braille

And whine in no time!

I captured the moon

Into the bloomed flower of our love 

And gifted to you

As a relic of our forever!

In your eyes I see

Mountain of tranquillity,

Ocean of happiness,

An enchanting land of purity,

A gaze into these pearls

Transfixes me in a euphoric spell!

Eating chocolate.

The less insatiable it feels.

Scrumptious moments melt swiftly 

On the Tongue of time!

Length counts,

filled me up to start the day,

Other hand

A red rose captured me

For I've been caught, then shot 

It's beauty wore me 

On the spot!

Four Micropoems on Love by Madelyn Fernandez Marcelino

HEART 

Your magnanimous heart

When I’m bereft

And slouching

Comes

Depite

Distance and time

To open the door

To lift the weight of my story.

□ 

KNOWING THAT 

My Love,

You are the Moon

That highlights my shadow.

Even the stars

Fade away

When you appear

Knowing that

I belong

To you.

□

LIKE FLAME 

Love charging

Eyes shut defeating tears

I wrestled with Cupid

But

Irresistible, his almond eyes

I weakened and died

Like flame

In the whirlwind.

□ 

LOVE'S AGONY 

You told me once

You see Paradise

In my eyes.

I say,

Eden is a state

of our heart

And Love’s agony

Is real.

Blooming lily white

In assumptions to kiss bright

Beams of the daystar

Gazes the resplendent sky

With innocent yearning eyes.

HAIKU

bare vast starry sky-

resplendent silver moon bathes

the kissing lovers.

To my feelings , null is your response

Whenever my thirsty passion comes close

To you, you stride past without a backward glance,

Reason is unknown why so much I love you!

Four Micropoems on Love by Ranjana Kashyap

WINGS OF LOVE
While flying in sunshine or in dark,
Beyond the seven sky,
Above all the feelings,
Beyond ages, endless time,
I have wings of love and you!
□
MIRROR
It's the mirror of your eyes or you,
Who is making me beautiful!
Why I always think about you,
You are the sea of emotions,
I am seeing myself in those emotions!
□
TWO SOULS
It's the union of two souls,
He can set his life on fire!
She can sit with him on that fire without any question,
He will never allow heat to touch her!
□
FOREVER 
I removed my all the fears,
You vanished them,
With all the colours of love in your heart,
You made our nest of love there,
You are with me like sun with sky forever!

Soothing like a breath of fresh air 

Igniting temptations to read your unspoken words;

You so beautifully pour out in verses 

Bringing solace to my soul.

TIME FOR LOVE
The month of February, they say,
A time of awakening and joy,
Time for love...
It's you and me, honey
whole life joy,
And our whole life love.

From an early age
Until these days...
It will be because of us
And time to stop,
So that you and I,
In it they could
Shine and shine...!

Outside the snow fell
Blue in the moonlight
Our love floating on feathers
Music plays in my head

Simple pleasure of being
Makes my heart beat

And makes it worth living.

Strangers in the street
Seeking each others eyes
One day our love will meet.

Three Micropoems on Love by Lilian Woo

YOU'RE A RHAPSODY

You're my muse; you're a rhapsody

You're the orchestra of the symphony

That played the serenading melody

The lyrics are as sweet as honey

You're the light of my destiny

We'll be together to complete our journey.

□

CUPID'S TOUCH

Red roses represent our love

You're as sweet and lovely as a dove

Intoxicating essences emit

Your charm, I couldn't resist

Cupid's arrow pierced our hearts

Bond our souls with Cupid's touch.

□

ENTWINED SOULS

I feel the warmth in your arms

Drowning in your kiss and charms

Our souls are entwined and hearts melting

The essence of love is intoxicating

Sensuous eyes reveal much affection

Throbbing hearts reign in passion.
