From Tracey, a beautiful poem for you:

December Diary

Words jump out of my head
I hear them plead
to keep them safe in secret
tears accompanied
to help ease the pain
some find comfort
hurdled along the creases
against the grain
December diary
a few more nights left
to hold burdens of heartbreaks
and past memories

Brian Tomas

a zephyr blowing
pink cherry blossoms in spring
falling like snow

open air museum
by the old thatched windmill
yellow tulips bloom

A few haiku from the book

butterflies
flutter in the bushes
red bougainvilleas


synchronised
courting danceโ€”
the grebes paddle furiously

  • Christina Chin

lightningโ€™s brilliance strikes,
tree falls in the whispering dawn,
my body echoes.


lifeโ€™s depth beyond pride,
loveโ€™s essence, more than wordsโ€™ fodder,
deathโ€™s fear, left behind.

  • Virginia Mateias

harvesting cassava
the widowed woman
babywears her child


covenant
unmade and made
returning jasmine

  • Uchechukwu Onyedikam

English-Spanish poetry by Gabriela Marie Milton and more news

The miracle of you

The moonโ€™s right-hand
pours soul into my flesh
pigeonsโ€™ wings bring scents of lilac blooms
the air gets drunk with poetry
statuary women of the water
flaunt their hair
within the loneliness of you
my heart
rotates five equinoxes on a wooden spindle
your eyes pour flesh into my soul
my body germinates the sounds of growing leaves
I wash my hands into the waters of Guadalquivir
in the scented night of those who never sleep
I say
I love you
and in one single breath
our wedding is transformed
in an enraptured death
was it the moon?
was it the morning dew?
perhaps it was the miracle of you


La mano derecha de la luna
vierte alma dentro de mi carne,
los aleteos de las palomas traen aromas de lilas en flor,
el aire se emborracha de poesรญa,
imaginarias mujeres del agua, sirenas,
alardean de cabello.
Dentro de tu soledad
mi corazรณn
rota cinco equinoccios  cual uso de madera,
tus ojos vierten carne dentro de mi alma,
mi cuerpo germina los sonidos de hojas que brotan,
lavo mis manos en las aguas del Guadalquivir
en la perfumada noche de aquellos que nunca duermen.
Digo
โ€œte quieroโ€
y en solo un respiro
nuestra boda se convierte
en un morir de รฉxtasis.
ยฟFue la luna?
ยฟFue el aroma de mayo?
Quizรกs fuiste tรบ el milagro.

My New Novel in Spanish – Spanish literature

Image: Shuterstock

Dear Readers,

I have so many projects for Literary Revelations, for me, and for other wonderful writers. However, among them there is one I have never spoken about. I have manuscript of a novel in Spanish and I intent to publish it. It probably needs an editor and it needs a title. It has been sitting in a drawer for quite a bit. Time has come to do something about it.

Below, please find the opening page. I hope you will enjoy it. Before publication I indent to post small excerpts from time to time. I will keep you posted.

Thank you. Gracias.



Please do not forget that Greenlands by Virginia Witch will be release on January 20. Stay tuned on more updates.
