New Poetry by Marieta Maglas: “Evil Earths” (third of three poems)

Screaming voices shattering the inner mirror of love

Clattering to nothingness, searching freedom in space,

Bloody songs tightly warping their blue heaven above

In the thin and chill air disappearing without a trace,

O’er sad whispers wind whipping through the wounds

In the symphony of demons’ dreams as a hot disguise,

Bloody voices needing to build up stomping grounds,

Buried danger sprouting out to keep growing in size,

The salty tears of liquid souls forming watery waves,

Beauties in the road waiting to face with their fear of death,

Still screaming while drowning in the cold watery graves,

Tearing the silence with their groan and bleeding breath.

New Poetry by Marieta Maglas: “Blind Reality” (second of three poems)

Hollow-eyed shades

of human beings,

human beings

cogitating on jazz music,

jazz penetrating the silence

of the bleeding angels,

angels in a fight for

the awakening of this blind reality,

monetization of

the objects & spaces, asylums,

sexual harassments

for anxious women, prostitution,

deadly ocean waves,

terrorist attacks and

Islamist militancy,

racism,

multiple vortex tornadoes

to damage gas stations,

ISIS’s strategies,

public executions, crucifixions,

vegetation fires,

emblazoned clothes

and precious stones,

children murdered

in egregious crackdowns,

meteorite impacts,

wars,

illegal immigration,

exposed naked bodies,

powerful quakes striking

near the plate boundaries,

changes

in refugee policies,

kidnappings, sales of

stolen artifacts, drugs,

protests blocking roads, landslides,

macroeconomic policies,

casino culture,

silent strategies of democracies,

food securities

for starving people,

food price increases,

Monsoon rains

and flash floods,

nuclear disasters,

smiling volcanoes,

human cells mixed up with

animal embryos,

sphinxes, thermal shocks

caused by global warming,

dengue fever, songs,

warming parties, temporary work,

seasonal unemployment,

low wages,

alcoholic cocktails,

ill people not displaying symptoms,

Zika and Chikungunya viruses,

birth defects, theatrical triumphs,

crime watchers,

new hairstyles,

glacier calving,

different drivers having

different styles to run their cars,

cars blinking their headlights

while their motors scream,

screaming trees and revolvers

that shoot up walls to write lyrics,

lyrics of jazz penetrating the silence

of the bleeding angels,

angels in a fight for

the awakening of this new reality.

New Poetry by Marieta Maglas: “Screaming Mannequins” (first of three poems)

Eyes huddled in fear,

that paralyzing fear in front of

the bullets mercilessly sprayed,

deeply sprayed by some cruelty,

which is fed up

with a lot of victims,

those defenseless victims of hate,

a dreadful hate,

which is fed up with a little love

as well as

a little pleasure can be fed up

with a lot of pain,

that extreme pain,

which embellishes the madness,

one round and seemingly

nonexistent madness being like

a strange cold having

many moisturized rosy-red,

rosy-red ring-shaped patches

associated with

a giant Quincke swelling

and with a boisterous cooling

noisy breath,

that snorting breath

like a groaning song,

a love song for a dance of death,

that painful death for all the hot puppets,

beautiful puppets becoming

cold wax mannequins,

those mannequins screaming

in their red rain

of feelings,

those red feelings coloring

a few sad moments,

cool moments of many winter fires

those burning fires

in the lost caves of shadows.
