This poem was sent to us by Sara Teklic from Croatia.

wait for me

This dream I still can see
Morning has broken, the sun is shining,
On blue horizon you wait for me,
And I whisper: "I am coming."

You have that wonderful something
What I am searching for.
Since the first time I saw you laughing,
I love and cherish you even more.

There is no doubt, I will fight them all,
The tears and the sorrow.
All my troubles are getting small
And I believe in tomorrow.

Right now I am too young for you,
But it is just a matter of time.
My feelings for you are true
And I know, someday you will be mine.

The next poem was sent to us by Simon Youssef Adly of Egypt.

in the name of love

In the name of love we fall to the ground
In the name of love I remember your sound
In the name of love we were bound
And hatred was no longer to be found

In the name of love whispers fall above our ears
In the name of love sighs flow from our mouths
Happiness caused our eyes to burst in tears
And I saw light radiating from your clothes

In the name of love lovers grow
And fall like the dead leaves in an autumn winter
In the name of love words flow
Forcing the cold of the winter to surrender

In the name of love's given to the outmost
Blind trust that's never doubted to be unreal
Now the game is over and trust is forever lost
No word of sorrow can describe what I feel

In the name of love you fall
With no soul left to recall
"Where is my love?" said with a sigh
Wondering if you want to live or die

In the name of love my heart's eternally bleeding
Who was to believe that the valleys of your love
Are transformed into a river overflowing with betrayal;
With a heart of stone where brightness is fading

In the name of love demons smash hope
And you stand helpless like tied by a rope
In the name of love mountains grow green
And mirage swallows that you have seen

In the name of love Trust is your tie
And there's no escape from fate
Fiend, why don't you forever let me be?
And stop drinking me your hate

Shallow heart is left behind your love
Ages will never cure the wound you made
But my desire bade me try to survive
Before my undermined soul begins to fade

This untitled poem was sent to us by Cristiana Pagliarusco.

You left just two nights ago
two sweet September sunsets ago

A hawing echo of whispered words
of unusual tenderness and sore
we said goodbye my love
to another soul my heart has to go

We wished some rest but
I had wanted a nest
for you and me for a harvest
to crop.

This fourth poem was sent to us by Anita Mukhtar of Pakistan.

for him

Darkness of night
Is so bright

With my presence
And his patience

Hidden emotions and senseless talk
Proving myself as if I am a rock

Endless road
With my life as a load

He enters into my life
And makes my heavy heart so light

Our final poem was sent to us by Anne Wang. Anne is from China but she now lives in New Zealand.

Pearl and clam

Being not able to remove that existing ache
Hence using my warm tears
Trying to bandage it up
Again and again

But
The memory in my bosom
Getting brilliant, getting glittering
Each tossing will be tenderness
Cause me to become older disconsolately
At the deep silent bottom of the sea
Waiting some day
Dressing up your beauty
With my sorrow
