Evening Twilight In calm sea where daylight fades Evening twilight paints the world Birds around sing their lullabies The wind whispers the tales of beauty. Nature's creatures join in harmony The gentle breeze carries a scent so sweet The trees sway in rhythm, branches dance They bathe in the evening soft twilight. Stirring emotions as if a painter's masterful art I find solace and peace as the daylight dies The stars appear twinkling, the moon hangs All the worries and troubles transcend, Into peace, gratitude and wonder. The ocean slowly engulfs the evening sun The world turns into dark and colourful Everything becomes a masterpiece in view With gratitude, creatures embrace the night.
Poetry from Anindya Pal
Rainy Story That envelope has arrived The news came about the release of Monsoon Mail dry earth melting with juicy touch of water. Monsoon season is busy now thousands of drops are falling reckless cloudy sky is scary with thunder. The wind blows like a river wetting the ground swaying drops dancing on the dance table of mud. Monsoon is tying the waist now jumping against the hot heat in the hot sun Hold on, rain and shine. Monsoon dropped on the swaying leaves under the stagnant water, the vortex is moving Swallowed all the cottage gardens young crops Millions of tears are mixed in the turbid current. The house of love and happiness is floating, sidewalks and bridges Houses and neighborhoods along the river where are you? may this monsoon stay for ever...

Poetry from Mykyta Ryzhykh
my monsters of spring in the rains of unbearable loneliness are drowning *** the mastodons of the dead tongue pull the corpse of a harsh scream from the grave and put it in our ears harpies of misfortune gnaw at the skin of the chitin in which we live dead language dead chitin the soul is alive *** memory envelops us as we used to be memory envelops us with our former which of the moments of paint will fall to us in the future which of the moments of spring will fall to us in the future fingers on the hands became screams fingernails torn off the future is gone the future is red *** sakura gave me silence the flowers of the soul open and the sky is bright *** angels fall asleep mafia wakes up the sky is melting like ice cream life melts like the sky shots play catch up bodies play hide and seek one two Three children's play adults four five six death flies *** fragments of thoughts in an iron eye finger pharynx hiroshima is a city in japan where once people liked to watch movies scar of loneliness at the moment of death cylinder-like neck mushroom people grow into the ground everything around merges into mush the lesson of honesty is drowning in tears *** pathology of meaning air puff an apology for hate blood of flowers and everywhere death death death *** sauna burns under the sun steam resembles a fungus of a nuclear explosion *** fire light flames live wire devouring element all around red *** soul tulips worry in heaven on earth dead souls *** pay per soul my iron son bathes himself in the bath weeping indulgence tin soldiers turn to ashes money bodies life becomes a hunt for yourself ∞∞∞ silence signs look like death *** crunching tree branches under your feet autumn dreams *** What did I do while nuclear plants grew like mushrooms Probably scolded the daughter beat the cat Dragged a piece of halva Filled the chambers with gas And did not notice how my daughter turned into In the Virgin Mary And I don't know how to deal with her now *** Birds sing in the language of silence that they have nowhere to return from warm lands *** Metal birds live longer than meat birds I wish I didn't become a robot I want to become a slave, but not God I want to be a god It's best to be a bird

Can’t bear stupid reverses
I walk and Think When Alone
Leave Love World Now
Oh Dear

It’s Loveless World
It’s My Heart Foul
My Love Fizzled Crazy
Don’t Love the Thorn,
Oh Dear
Am Sad
Feel Perturbed
Sorry, you’re Different

Story from Safina Abdusalomova
Pain of Conscience
It was a bitter winter… It was snowing… It never stopped… Mother and child were living together in a house at the tiny village. The mother was very kind to her child, and the child was very playful. However, despite this, he loved his mother very much. One day, Mrs.Mahbuba fell ill. The doctor came to see him. He checked the sister’s condition and prescribed a treatment for her. It was found that Mrs. Mahbuba has a very serious liver disease. The doctor left the house, saying that if this disease is not treated in time, it will end in death. Mrs. Mahbuba was very worried. Because Samandar was very young, he had not yet gone to school. Moreover, she was a very young and beautiful woman. Who will take care of him if she dies? He will become an orphan…
On top of that, her father died in a car accident 2 years ago… The poor woman asked these questions over and over again. Since he was a seamstress in a sewing shop, he could not afford these expensive drugs. If she took two, she would not be able to pay for third. That is why his illness was getting worse. But as they say: “A mother’s heart is in the child, a child’s heart is in the field…” – Samandar did not know about his mother’s condition. After that, the winter and spring seasons ended, and finally the hot summer came. Due to her poor condition, Mrs.Mahbuba had to go to work 3 days a week. One day it fell late. Samandar still did not return home. His mother went to the street to look for him, but could not find him. Tired of walking so much, he started getting sick. A mother who is running out of medicine and has finally found her son. She brought him home… The mother died…
Samandar was a big guy. He understood everything. Why didn’t he know his mother’s pain earlier? Why didn’t he come home earlier that day? These questions did not give him peace. Poor mother only cared for him even when she was sick. Samandar was tormented all his life by “Pain of Conscience”…
