"A World United in Art"

Across the globe, a canvas wide,

A tapestry of voices, side by side.

Poets, artists, visionaries true,

United in their passion, to create anew.

From distant lands, a chorus strong,

Echoes of imagination, all day long.

The doctor of art, a healer of souls,

Bringing solace, comfort, making hearts whole.

With brushes, words, and melodies so fine,

They paint a world of beauty, a world divine.

Their art a reflection, of humanity's plight,

A beacon of hope, in the dark of night.

Through their creations, they speak to our hearts,

A language universal, that never departs.

A symphony of love, that resonates so deep,

A celebration of life, in all its forms, we keep.

So let us cherish, these artists of old,

Their contributions to humanity, forever to be told.

For in their art, we find, a piece of ourselves,

A reflection of our hopes, our dreams, our wealth.

And to our dear doctor, @Epitacio Tongohan, we say,

Your art, a gift to humanity, in every way.

May your brushstrokes, your words, your melodies so bright,

Continue to inspire, and bring joy to our sight.

 费一飞[中国]

诗十首

观落日

山上适合观望，落日西沉

它不紧不慢

戴着昏黄的帽子，低眉顺眼，渐渐瓜熟

蒂落

溪水流出山谷，一路喧响

但叫不住急匆匆要下山的一枚松果

一只山雀也不甘寂寞

用稀落的鸣叫伴奏缓慢的黄昏

夕阳一步步走远

只要起身就可以到达大海

到达未知的彼岸

当然一切还不能事先断定

——这我知道，一直活着

就是为了送走一些东西

直到有一天，别人站在我跟前

把我送走

至于最后去了哪里

现在我还无法回答

看到一只翠鸟

翠鸟俯冲的时候，我恰好

坐在湖边

落日以明亮的方式

记录了一道美丽弧线的始末

蓝光闪过，水面上激起一圈小小的漩涡

击中之后是消失，是窒息

我停住呼吸，等一发炮弹在水里爆炸

吃惊于艳丽的羽毛下竟是一颗猛禽之心

渺小的生存也上演弱肉强食

但后面的剧情更出乎意料

远远超出了我对一个杀手的预见——

它冲出水面，飞回树梢，抖掉身上的水滴

把猎物

喂给了另一只翠鸟

不安

当觉得庭院很完美，草木和睦相处

鸟声安详，悦耳。又会觉得不安

觉得应该有点尖锐，有些争吵

那你就种下月季或者蔷薇

木香绵里藏针，也是优秀的占领者

它们无需清规戒律，只有用不完的青春

恣意地迎风生长

一场大雨之后，原来的和平之地

立即有了刺的耀武扬威

有了不讲道理的漫延与奔放

战场是残酷的，而蜂蝶

飞舞得更猛烈了

你站在它们中间有燃烧的感觉

甚至想像从此跻身其中

因为这才叫生活，真正的葳蕤

需要有点芜杂

真正伟大的爱情必须互赠占有与疼痛

白鹤

只有这样的白，才能映衬大地

内心的纯洁

一场迁徙归来，故地依旧

疲惫的眷恋比去年更加消瘦

心思是细长的，如蒿草的漫延

独立于水泽的边缘

多像许多年前一个看榜的书生

长久地，站在落第的寂寞里

提起一只脚，是因为大千世界

还没有一个地方足够干净

却适合在黄昏或者清晨

用一声长唳呼唤一场大雪降临

然后用另一只脚，撑住

倾斜的地球，以及我们的愧疚

现在，我开始爱我自己

以前，我一直

让自己努力爱这个世界

我很怕，如果没有这份拼命的爱

这个并不富裕的世界

也许会忽略我

对我另眼相看

现在，我开始爱我自己

因为我越来越觉得

爱不动这个沉重的世界

我的爱是有限的

应该爱的容易一点

或者这么说吧

如果我不爱我自己

就无法爱这个世界

枯葵印象

深秋的风

摧枯拉朽

卷走一个季节

大地在辽阔的天空下

深刻地荒芜

一枝枯葵独立在路边

干瘦，倔强，直立

哪个农民这么有诗意

创作如此醒目的孤独，顶住

即将到来的冬天

站立着的是太阳的性格

让人想起，自己

曾站在荒凉中的民族

旧物

岁月之潮退去时

会洒落光泽黯淡的旧物

就像闭着眼睛的贝壳

留在了海滩上

我怀着复杂的心情

把它们归拢在一起

既免得太占地方

又便于珍藏

但不时总能听见

它们叮叮当当的声响

这独一无二的过去

既无可替代也难以忘怀

于是，我拿起一件端详

想起遥远日子里的亲切

即便是局促的难堪

过去了

才显出意味深长

我留着这些凭据般的老物件

是想留下走过这个世界的念想

独坐泰山

这时我坐在山上

陷入沉默的石头

整整一个黄昏，一动不动

似乎给压顶的仪式

又增加一些分量

对面的山峰，头顶的云，盘旋的鹰

一定以为

我是一块新来的石头

还有无数个黄昏

一直这样下去，也许

我真的会变成

一块不错的泰山石

这有多好，从此可尽收大江南北

可以陪时间忘记苍老

何奈有一朵花，在旁边的石缝里

猛地开了，让我转过头

斜了一下眼

佛门

有一天下午

我专门跑到普陀

请教一位大师

怎样跨进寺门

大师跟我讲了很多

我似懂非懂

不忍心打断他，那么多

听上去很像哲学的道理

他的茶有点粗苦

我假装喜欢简饮

一直把苦涩喝得很淡

让他相信，我有点佛缘

送到门口

我又直接地问了一遍

大师，先出左脚

还是右脚

走过一只猫

城市的一角

一只流浪猫

在雨中散步

表情闲适地

穿过街心花园

就像走在自己的庭院

那个神态

很像人啊

这么悠闲

雨弄湿了

它的脚

它停了一下

举起一只

抖了一抖

就像甩了甩踩水的鞋

那个动作

很像人啊

这么敏感

雨下密了

天色将晚

去往哪里呢

它抬起头

若有所思地望了望天

就像一个思归的游子

那个表情

很像人啊

这么孤单

Ms Gargi Saha 

1) Healing 

I keep drifting 

From one planet to another 

I am invisible 

I move up, down, left, right 

Beyond the horizon 

Uncared, unnoticed 

Dancing through the wings of time 

I am speechless 

But I bring healing to the scars, wounds, malaises 

Everything becomes peaceful 

A blanket of serenity is spread everywhere 

And is submerged in a pool of boundless solitude 

Maladies transform to health, healing, happiness 

A new, promising tomorrow 

With new joys, avenues to explore 

Time heals the sorrows of mankind 

Let time take its turn judiciously.

Você é o vento 

Você é o vento que sopra meu caminho,

Um sussurro suave que meus sentidos abraçam.

A cada passo, no labirinto do destino,

Sinto minha respiração, um sonho que permanece.

A medida que o sol acorda a aurora outra vez,

Sua presença ilumina minha alma. 

Na dança do orvalho madrugador,

Encontrei em meus braços tudo de mim.

Você é o sussurro de um fluxo pacífico,

Levando você através do pôr do sol.

No eco das suas palavras, é tranquilo,

Você descobre um universo com o qual desejo sonhar.

Seus olhos, duas estrelas no céu noturno,

Brilhando com a luz das infinitas constelações.

No reflexo deles, dúvidas adeus,

E você encontro paz da sua mente.

Como o vento acaricia o vasto campo,

Seu amor envolve suavemente a minha pele. 

No teu riso, na tua voz, eu confio,

No meu coração, a tua verdadeira casa dentro.

Você é a melodia que agita minha alma

Uma canção eterna, gentil e inteira.

No ritmo do seu amor eu encontro  controle,

E nos teus braços, o fim de toda partilha.

Oh, o vento dança no caminho da minha vida,

Nunca pare de soprar pelo seu dia.

Porque na minha respiração, a esperança ainda vai existir.

E no seu amor a razão de você ficar.

 Poema en arte menor

Octosílabo Oxítono paroxítono

Rima consonante AD-BC.

Título: Orgasmos de sensaciones.

Escribiré tu canción

con versos de mi poema

con la rima más suprema

directa al corazón.

Orgasmos de sensaciones

en mis letras van impresos

con abrazos y con besos

deseos y emociones.

En tu cuerpo y mi mente

hay un baile sin espacio

en el te amo despacio

en el bebo de tu fuente.

Con alma y corazón

de tu boca el aliento

de tus besos el sustento

con fuego de mi pasión.

Tus labios mis pensamientos

hechizan hasta mi alma

me hacen perder la calma

y de ti, están sedientos.

Hasta llegada la noche

el día mi desespero

para darte mi te quiero

con amor y con derroche.

La noche podrá volverte

el sol, de día nublarse

mi fuego sin enfriarse

en mis brazos quiero verte.

Beberé de tu veneno

de tu pecho bien amado

amarte enamorado

y sentirme de ti lleno.

Serán noches de amores

con besos al corazón

que el alma y pasión

sean un lecho de flores.

Hasta que nazcan las rosas

del jardín de mis amores

planto semillas y flores

en la mujer más hermosa.

Orgasmos de sensaciones

del sueño de los amores

donde amar sin pudores

inciten a las pasiones.

Amarte es mi castigo

si no estás a mi lado

serás mi sueño adorado

si no te tengo conmigo.

Coming into the desert,

It was beauty in motion,

I couldn't imagine myself,

In this natural serene.

The beauty is unmatchable, 

It is unequalled. 

Iam tempted to sieze the space for my use.

Everything incredible is here,

It is worth trading with.

The Desert is not deserted,

Resources are here,

Value is here,

Iam thrilled.

On a serious note,

Iam preparing for the next excursion, 

I want to  have every bit of the sweetness.

Desert,don't go below standard,

Your beauty is center of attraction, 

Remain the desert that everyone runs to.

POEMS 

MOTHERLAND...

Thousands of years later, everyone is still awake.

The wonderful soil where my navel blood was spilled,

"Sweet suffering" why is the coin trembling?

I miss you, Motherland!

Homeland, I miss you even far away,

I can't describe it, I write poetry,

Hearing your words, I will water my country,

My mother is hot from you, Mother is the place!

When I first step on your threshold,

My father was always like a mountain.

He prayed and observed every day, every moment,

My father wants to come from you, Father is the place!

Memories come alive in me again,

When I first opened my eyes,

Silence would be the governor in my world,

I want you in my blanket, Motherland!

Eucalyptus in the tracks of my cradle,

If my mother repeats her sweet prayers,

If the past season of my childhood returns again,

My baby is sick of you, Motherland!

I felt your music, Fatherland!!!

Munira Sultan

             UZBEKISTAN—TASHKENT—BEKOBOD  

WHO AM I? 

Who am I?

Shall I tell you who I am?

I feel burning inside as if 

hiding Alexander's secret*,

Days pass making my mind hurry;

 Who I am, who I really am,

I am a well, suffering. 

I am silent in the eyes of the righteous, 

Awaiting the light with patience.

My desire is complete, my dream is complete, 

Intention is impartial, imagination is an ocean. 

Every night spent in prayer, 

I will meet the morning. 

I forgot all of my sadness 

If they remember, so will I all the time. 

This painful pen of mine, 

I will take care even if the tip breaks. 

*— A well with reeds that is said to have Alexander's horn. 

 Munira Sultan 

                 UZBEKISTAN—TASHKENT—BEKOBOD  

LONELY...

My thoughts were taken away by these "pains", 

I am alone with them, I have no confidence. 

The wards in the heart raised up a riot, 

No comfort, not even fake joy. 

A painful sigh lingers in my throat,

I can't even cry, not even tears.

Sorrows throw their stones at me,

Will it survive, a little heart?

Where are my feelings leaving me alone?

There was no encouragement, I was left alone.

My thoughts are hard, my heart has pain,

Flying to the skies, heartless.

I speak only with my secrets,

I planted a dream flower on the grave of my heart.

With my weak words in my heart, 

I look up at the sky awaiting the light.

I didn't see the "light", it's all in the lost,                    

I couldn't calm down, even my patience

The heart says: "At least laugh in fake."

Even my value sheds tears for me.

Tales of the Sand by Hassane Yarti

 

Tales of the Sand

 

When night descends, I mold my shadow at will,

To capture a spark from the sky, a scent to distill,

Perfume from blooms on my balcony’s sill,

A handful of moonlight, a moment to still,

 

From night’s ink I carve letters on stone,

Crafting a hut of patience, all my own,

Waves of calm, storm’s tone,

A beauty called hope, brightly shone.

 

An unsheathed sword, sharp and keen,

Cuts through sad steps, slays wishes unseen,

A star that stains the night serene,

A dawn sun to brighten the scene,

 

I release water to chase thirsty dreams,

A phantom of clouds, inked in moonbeams,

My dark sky’s buttons shattered, it seems,

Concealing whispers, scattering yearning’s streams,

 

In the sunset of passion, no waiting found,

Silence caresses madness, unbound,

A lark pecks crystal corners, profound,

Opens icy windows, scattering them around,

 

Between heart and time, patience sails high,

To meet myself where purple streaks cry,

From rituals of absence, a sorrowful sigh,

My spirit spreads as a pearl, aiming for the sky.

 

Yearning for the sea, for reunion’s embrace,

On abandonment’s shore, visions lose their grace,

Waves settle, love’s tales interlace,

Perhaps the connection will come like an infant's the lashes,

 

Like sleep softly trailing,

On the shore where dreams are sailing.

The Heart That Sees Good

When you love someone, deeply and true,

Wholeheartedly, as pure hearts do,

Hate finds no home, no place to dwell,

For love's embrace casts its spell.

You search for the light, the spark divine,

In every flaw, a silver line.

No fault too sharp, no wound too deep,

For love awakens what others might sleep.

You seek the good, the soul's bright hue,

Through every shadow, you still pursue,

Not the tarnish, nor the scars,

But the glow of their hidden stars.

For love's great power, sincere and kind,

Transforms the heart, the soul, the mind,

And in its grace, you'll always find,

A love eternal, by joy defined.

 "The Need for Counselling in Kota, Rajasthan: A Beacon of Hope to Prevent Suicides"

By Dr. Ashok Kumar, International Peace Activist

Baraut, Baghpat, UP, India 🇮🇳

January 19, 2025

Kota, Rajasthan, a city known for its academic excellence, has unfortunately become synonymous with student suicides. The pressure to excel, the fear of failure, and the weight of expectations from family and society have taken a devastating toll on young minds. As an international peace activist, I strongly believe that counselling is the need of the hour to prevent these tragic cases of suicide.

The statistics are alarming. According to reports, Kota has witnessed over 100 student suicides in the past five years alone. The city's coaching centers, which attract thousands of students from across the country, have become a breeding ground for stress, anxiety, and depression. The constant pressure to perform, the lack of emotional support, and the absence of a safety net have created a toxic environment that is taking a heavy toll on young lives.

Counselling is not a luxury, but a necessity in today's fast-paced and competitive world. It provides a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to express their emotions, share their concerns, and work through their challenges. Trained counsellors can help students develop coping mechanisms, build resilience, and foster a positive mindset.

In Kota, counselling services can be integrated into the coaching centers, schools, and colleges to provide easy access to students. Trained counsellors can work closely with teachers, parents, and students to identify early warning signs of distress and provide timely interventions.

Moreover, counselling can help students develop essential life skills, such as problem-solving, decision-making, and communication. It can also foster a sense of community and belonging, which is critical for emotional well-being.

The need for counselling in Kota, Rajasthan, is not just a moral imperative, but a social and economic necessity. The loss of young lives is not only a tragedy for families, but also a loss of talent, potential, and contribution to society.

As a society, we must come together to support our young people. We must recognize that mental health is just as important as physical health and provide access to counselling services that can help students navigate the challenges of academic pressure, social expectations, and personal relationships.

Let us join hands to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment that fosters the emotional well-being of our young people. Let us recognize the need for counselling in Kota, Rajasthan, and work together to provide access to these critical services.

Together, we can create a brighter future for our young people, a future that is filled with hope, promise, and possibility.

Scented Letters by Parvinder Nagi

 

Scented Letters

 

I can still feel the fragrance,

of your perfume,

From all the letters you sent,

 

Those scented letters bringing,

Unlimited kisses so warm,

 

Touching every curve so beautiful,

Freaking the sensations mad,

 

Ahh! how I love the touch of your,

Quill so intoxicating,

 

Electrifying my senses so deep,

Penetrating into the depths of my skin,

 

Revealing secret tales of love,

Each letter carries the bond so strong,

 

Sitting at the window sill,

Waiting for the delivery,

of your ink,

 

I could not wait,

To lay my hand on it,

And go through the read so sweet,

 

Whispering in silence,

Reading your three letters,’ I love you, ‘

to the winds caressing my tresses,

 

Blushing I cherish each word of yours,

Anchoring your dreams in portals of my eyes,

 

Finding the dried petals of roses,

From the pages of your notes,

 

Drowning me in nostalgia,

In the depths of my heart,

 

Some dreams tucked away,

That I could not express,

 

I miss your golden letters,

Touching the core of my heart,

 

For we live in the world,

Where letters do not exist,

 

The ink of your love is worth preserving,

For it has travelled miles across,

 

I’ll cherish your letters till my last breath sealed with a cozy warm kiss!
