 I thought of swimming in the sparkling waters of the lake, 

the inner voice of mind held me back saying, 
deathly green waters will suck you deep within the point of no return. 
 
i mused on skiing down the ice clad mountain, 
the inner voice of mind refrained me from doing so, 
as mighty avalanches of snow would strangulate me, 
burying me a few feet beneath the frozen coat of spring water. 
 
i pondered on penning a few lines of composition, 
the inner voice of mind made strong inroads of denial, 
saying that the carbon ink was sure to leak, 
creating embarrassed smudges on the flawless sheet of paper. 
 
i speculated on investing in the stock market, 
the inner voice of mind guffawed in pools of laughter, 
admonishing me from proceeding forward, 
as the entire index would collapse within seconds of my investment. 
 
i visualized gulping large barrels of tropical coconut water, 
the inner voice of mind stringently halted my stream of fantasy thought, 
reinforcing my mind with obnoxious visions of the water containing traces of snake poison. 
 
i perceived of spending my life with the person who loved me, 
as usual the inner voice of mind prompted me to alter my course of action, 
acquainting me of the dire consequences likely to follow, 
this time though beats of my heart were stronger than tunes of mind, 
facilitating me to work antagonistic to the mind, 
execute a perception into pragmatic reality, 
despite the precarious influence of inner voice of mind.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!

Next Arrivals by Robin Ouzman Hislop

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
