Releasing Emotions

Parveen Kaur

Taking the leap of faith in expression is necessary in releasing the trauma that is stored in the body-mind. I knew it was time for me to release those emotions that were suppressed and create a whole new world of freedom and self-love.

Creating authenticity was foreign to me, as I felt I had to conform in every relationship, ultimately leading to formality. A friend I always sought in others through people-pleasing I discovered in myself. Over time I became comfortable in my own skin, especially as I reflected on the inner darkness and lightness within me.

To declare how you truly and deeply feel is not always welcomed in society, but for me it was key so I could truly and finally be me without wearing a mask. My writing pours out from a deep place for all the hearts and souls to resonate with to explore wondrous liberty.

Truth and Illusion

Robert Wain Woodward

Raw emotions we have probably all experienced and which have caused pains we have found difficult to express.

I am at an age when I must face just about the most painful time of anyone's life as I contemplate what future I might have left.

My thoughts, therefore, about life and what it means tend to be in sharper focus than ever before.
Especially about whatever comes next.

Bottled Oddities: The Collected Poems of Dawson Hann

Dawson Hann

Dawson Hann’s poems, as the title implies, are all highly individual in their structures and points of view. They engage comprehensively, and often humorously, with those truths of human experience that our emotions, and our imagination, at times long for. They sit upon a shelf of life’s varied experiences, inviting you to sample, through compelling imagery and a diversity of poetic forms, the meaning the poet has extracted from a remarkably rich life of travel and human engagement. Not just this, but also a poetic faith in the truths lying often unseen at the heart of frequently ordinary human experiences. Likewise, they take you on journeys into memories new and old, restlessly yet beautifully searching for the truths always to be found there too.

The poetic journeys in this collection are frequently uplifting and always authentic illustrations of the poet’s conviction that nothing in life is quite what it seems and that poetic forms are as good a way as any to illuminate so many truths about how we understand ourselves and others.

Ovum

Dalvir Kaur

Feel the warmth of your pain. Light the lamp on the adverse pillar you hold onto on the eighth day of the week…
Walk down the aisle – shores await. Lofty cliffs, seagull guards without safeguards!

Centuries sleep wide-eyed under your bed, waiting to touch the time on your wristwatch.
The colour of your pillow fades with dust—who kept watch at your bedside?

Thy Black Wings

Anas Sadan

Life, we say, is a grand theatrical production. But this performance feels more like a chaotic dress rehearsal gone awry. The script is a jumble of clichés, borrowing from tired tropes, leaving the audience yawning. And the actors? A stumbling crew, delivering lines with all the grace of a newborn giraffe on roller skates. The audience, ever critical, demands perfection yet contributes nothing. And so, the play stumbles on, performed by inept actors for an unappreciative crowd.
