THE FOREST OF CRYSTALS
Under the translucent enamel sky, stretched a world of fragile stillness, where only winter sang its silent elegies, over the rounded hills, like the memories of a child, resting
beneath a quilt of pearly frost. Silence, frozen in amber-stained glass, had slipped between the trees, cloaked in living silver garments, unfolding like a cathedral of infinity. Their branches, lacework of ice, embraced the sky like pleading hands, and their delicate shadows, thin threads of silk woven on the edge of a thought, melted into the snow like a forgotten footprint on the canvas of eternity. The twilight lights scattered through the branches, sparkling in molten gold and purple hues, like a song flowing secretly through the veins of winter.

FLOWERS
Flowers not only beautify the world They have a calming effect on the soul. When you walk in a garden amongst flowers, You feel like staying there for many hours.
Flowers bring enchantment to your life.
They fill you with love and prevent strife. People send flowers to the ones they love, Because flowers convey messages of love. Flowers are always in great demand. People always stop at a flower stand, To buy flowers for birthdays and occasions grand.
Lovers can be seen walking with flowers in hand.
Flowers are not man-made but part of nature.
In national parks and botanical gardens, they feature.
They are smiles from the Creator to show his love.
Everyone loves flowers, they’re blessings from above.

Little dragonfly flutter your wings and manifest your appearance, for them you are the goddess of sacred waters.

LILY
Yes, dear, there are many flowers in my garden.
This night of March, with many colors and fragrance, beauty with a smile, they are whispering, "I am a rose."
"And I, a lotus."
"Yes, I am jasmine, champa, sunflower."
And you, my dear, are the narcissus.
But this lovely night, with the full moonlight, my desire is a white lily.
Why lily?
I don’t know.
But my kavikul guru Kalidas described the lily as "kumudini,"
Yes, dear, there are many flowers in my garden.

But this lovely night, with the full moonlight, my desire is a white lily.
Why lily?
I don’t know.
But my kavikul guru Kalidas described the lily as "kumudini," the kumudini that blooms only in the moonlight.
The moon is the only dear and near. Her love and closeness are fantastic, the moon and the lily.
Both create a beautiful oneness, an eternal song of the sky and the earth.
Yes, dear, my sky, your sky.

THERE’S NO BALM EITHER
Lo! The beautifully adorned star-lit sky Wing my thoughts for a pleasant fly; Advancing age infiltrates with loneliness, Feeble and forlorn I stare into emptiness.
Memories steadily slip deep into the past The fickle childhood surfaces in the midst; Tear-filled eyes wrap it with a deep liking, Accursed; except for pain I find nothing.
The dawn slowly slips into the dusk fall, From twilight, fear grips on the nightfall; Through the small window I keep staring, The star-lit sky looks misty but enticing.
Yes! The inexhaustible yearning on one side, And, the agony of loneliness on the other side; But, the balm I seek remains elusive forever, Except the starry night, there’s no balm either.

UNEXPECTEDLY
Suddenly, I became a stranger. Next year, I will live as an unknown.
During summer, the snow will melt away, and I’ll live my winter deep within the world.
Night after night, the beautiful statue of dreams will crumble.
Days will drift away from me, like schizophrenics fleeing from noise.
We won’t know what happens in a century. We won’t remember how long our beards will grow.
Poems will turn into pebbles, oblivion will find me in my winter, tucked within.

MY PEACE QUALITY PROCEDURE
My life is an open file
Containing its' operational procedures
Detailing the steps, to avoid being amongst offenders
Coordination of my personal training activities
Are set for the development of my abilities
To better help deliver tasks
And not have courage - lacks When, feel internal complaints

Who is always ready
To give a spot check - very steady
All parameters are visited
And corrective actions, listed date set For the review- another test
The procedures are expected to conform
Through corrections and corrective actions
These are the equipment Needed to be compliant
Having properly followed a measure
Very important to maintain the standard
So as to avoid to denature
But rather choose to always be avant-garde

ATINGERI
Ating iar clapele gândirii, Tresar mirate întrebări, Deschid ferestrele gândirii, Să intre stoluri de mirări. Ating albastrul așteptării, Țes roua șoaptelor febrile, Dărâm bariera întristării, Îmbărbătez nopți prea docile. Ating în verde nenăscut, Cu pasul alb al încântării,
Cioplesc un sentiment acut, Cu lama vie a visării.
Ating perdelele speranței, Brodez cu roșul împlinirii, Rechem lumina toleranței, Îmbrac ideea răzvrătirii.
Ating izvoarele credinței, Culeg esențele simțirii, Învii iar pietrele dorinței, Presar culoarea fericirii.
Ating iar strunele dreptății, Tresare curcubeu docil, Mai am un cer al libertății, Știu să alung un gând ostil.

ODE TO THE WOODLAND
So much restless I always feel to see you
To lose myself in your fairy celestial arms
To mingle myself in your vibes of mist and hues
To roam in your lovely sheds adorned with lush green.
To enter into thy realm of ecstasy.
You have always devoured me in your wings of love
In your crooning brooks where I find ecstasy, rest and respite
In your desolate corner where I listen to your whisper
In the chirping of your songbirds and songs of silence.
Where fragrant flowers hang in the creepers like starry lamps in the sky.
I am eager to merge myself with your ecstatic consciousness.
I wish to forget my essence lying in your breast
Where your flowers dance in the wind with the buzzing of bees
Where the waterfall always sings the glory of the divine.
To you, I offer my heart, gratitude and consciousness.
I always wish to be with you in your magnificent abode
Where floating clouds kiss your boughs
Even a spark for a moment with you mesmerizes me
And I like to lose myself and my consciousness in your vibes
To get one with you and mingle with the light of the Almighty.
Oh woodland, you are the epitome of divine glamour.
You are an empire of absolute peace and rapture.
An ineffable hush pervades you at night.
I wonder what beautiful attire you wear in spring and autumn.
My heart ardently desires to see it all.
Oh lovely spark of the divine grace
To remain in your blissful touch, and feel your essence
To feel the touch of heaven's eye
I wish to stroll under your shady trees and rapt mountains so high
Oh, woodland, drench me with your divine flame, fragrance and flavor.

THE REAL CAUSES BEHIND POLLUTION AND POVERTY
In the depths of a ravaged earth, a cry echoes a cry for justice, for accountability, for the future.
Industrialists, with hands stained by greed, have plundered the land. They have taken and taken, leaving behind a trail of devastation. Their factories release toxic fumes, choking the breath from our lungs. Their vehicles and trains fill our cities with dust a constant reminder of their disregard for human life and nature.
They reap enormous profits, amassing billions. They live in luxury, paying taxes on their earnings but not for the damage they inflict. By offering bribes, they have silenced officers, newspapers, and other media. Meanwhile, millions suffer from chronic illnesses, spending vast amounts on medication. Many fall into crippling debt, lose their homes and lands, sell their property, and are ensnared in the web of poverty.
The earth weeps, its beauty ravaged by insatiable greed. Rivers, seas, oceans, and lakes are polluted. The atmosphere is saturated with poisonous gases, intensifying
the greenhouse effect and global warming. Mountains, valleys, plateaus, forests, and plains are being destroyed. Countless species have gone extinct. The world stands on the brink of disaster, yet politicians refuse to act. Instead, they busy themselves with wars, launching hundreds of missiles. Is this the true purpose of education? Is this the goal of civilization?
Who will hold the exploiters accountable? Who will stand for justice on behalf of the earth?
Why don’t we take legal action against them?
Why don’t we impose heavy taxes on polluters?
Why shouldn’t we seize their ill-gotten wealth to save the environment and lift people out of poverty and poor health?
The time for silence has passed. The time for action is now.

DEFINE YOUR LOVE
To say to someone "I Love You" is simply pleasurable and imaginatively crazy
But to do sacrifice for your beloved one is not easy !
To keep promises to your love is highly appreciated but in others eyes it's cheesy
But to fulfill this promise is not apparent when you say I am busy !
To say keep yourself happy is looking very breezy
But never to hurt your beloved one's feelings is not easy !
To say to your beloved is easy to keep your mind calm and freezy
But not be the cause of beloved one's mental irritation is not easy!
To say you are my life is not like a sweet sound of laugh like wheezy
But be faithful to your beloved one till the last moment of breath is not easy!
To say you are the cause of my smile sweet Daisy
But be a reason of her smile is not easy!
I never make any promises to my sweetheart
I never swear for fascinating dreams of the imagination of the heavenly part
Because ours is eternal love my dear beloved You are the cause of my peace and happiness that give me strength and authentic emotional resolved
My love for you is not like rain
Which comes suddenly and goes any time into vain
My love for you is like air
Which may be silent sometimes but always around you my dear!

ÎN SUFLET
Am strâns în palmă dragostea și dorul
Și le-am lipit de piept să rezoneze tainic.
Cu ele crește sufletul mai falnic
Și îi plătește lumii-ntregi obolul.
Am rupt fâșii din tristul gând amar
Și le-am dosit în negrele unghere
Să poată să-nflorească fără ele
Și să-mi clădesc în suflet un altar.
I-am pus în poartă flori de câmp curate,
I-am dat miros de smirnă și tămâie,
L-am învelit cu dragostea de glie
Și l-am purtat în rugăciuni neîncetate.

THE LAST DESTINATION
There is something which is not visible.. The time... that doesn't stop.. The desire... that increases every moment... Did anyone see the tomorrow ... Everyone started running in the morning... Who know the final destination... Running away from the truth. Why are so many people helpless?. You have everything.. Still why always sad?
The whole world is fascinated by illusion, When will we recognize God? What kind of discord is there in the mind? There is peace in surrender.. God knows all, recognizes all. Nothing beyond this.. This is your ultimate destination.

VOICE OF SILENCE!
Silence has a voice ; listen to it
Do go down the memory lane
My time still stands erect there Silent are my awkward moments
My silent words I face everyday
So much pain and agony dominate
The sea water keeps dead silent Million hidden silences beneath There is a silent rise in every fall Listen to utter silence sometimes.

PALABRAS DE MANZANA
Si lograra llevar las flores
A las palabras
Las palabras a las flores
Las dibujaría vibrantes de palabras
Si pudiera descolgar las manzanas
Con solo mirarlas, suspirarlas, olerlas
Juntar siempre las uvas para anhelar el vino
Si lograra acercar el amor lejano
Guardar la locura para distribuirla
Poco a poco
Leer en las miradas los desaciertos
Retener el presente
Mirar desde el futuro
Si pudiera entender
Porque se dejaron de andar los caminos
Atando los anillos del tiempo
Vencería remolinos

Pasquale Cusano è un poeta che coltiva una poesia carica di sostanza umana, sorprendenti intuizioni psicologiche ed etiche. Nel 1979 vince come paroliere, il primo Festival canoro (Una Canzone per il Natale. Trofeo Isabella Piga). Nel si classifica secondo al quindicesimo Festival (Il Castello D’oro) di Mirandola (MO). Incide un disco di liscio e due cassette stereo con l’Orchestra Romagna 2000 di Franco Vezzani (cantante). I premi citati e decine di altri riconoscimenti nazionali e internazionali attestano il suo eccezionale talento. Nel 2011 ha pubblicato il suo primo libro di poesia ESPRESSIONI
DELL’ANIMA. 2014 il secondo libro il
CANTO DELLA VITA-AMAZON e infine la raccolta di una vita poetica con oltre 2000 poesie dalla GEDA EDITRICE DI NOVARA per conto del IL MIO LIBRO –
FELTRINELLI. Ma, probabilmente nel volume di poesie "L'UOMO DEI TEMPI" la sua arte raggiunge le soglie più alte: la finezza del disegno, la fragilità dei cromatismi lirici, la purezza dei sentimenti dominati dal candore di attraversare le profondità della vita hanno una sensazionale vibrazione spirituale e lirica. Nel 2024 ottiene il primo posto al prestigioso concorso Be A Star, organizzato da Motivational Strips.
PROFONDA NOSTALGIA
Che profonda nostalgia, in queste solitarie e mute mura. Nel silenzio cerco ancora, l'armonia di un tempo, luce divina fiorente, di un'alba spensierata, di luminosa fanciullezza. Non c'è più dolcezza di vita, in questa mia fine. Ora sono l'ultima foglia, di un albero spoglio, che presto il vento porta via.

ELOQUENCE OF SILENCE
It's time for the stone of everything that is not my silence/ Of extinction, of total oblivion/ Life forms endless furrows/ Footprints of the road/ Past mistakes sealing lips, looking up at the written pages/ eloquence of silence that sustains a silent wind / There is still so much beauty!!! It is necessary to fall apart / give in for a moment fair/
To let the crying pass before being forgotten.

THE TORTUOUS PUZZLE MELTS
This is too much to dance on the foggy dais, a soulful cry heaps on the condemn cell of a sunless land, (belonging to a windy beach) breast-torn sonata of murdering zone says about the days that gravel the questions of dogmatic rains... some trees unfolding their innocent leaves heal the derailed, open the magic door and the kids of the sun and dew together sprinkle the dust of evening glows and smiles of the untrodden, break the wings to envelop the wounds. the dark hidden politics of the demons with the branches of a magic tree acts on a new dais of riverine vest, the new unwavering hands emerging from the fog bring the roots from the dense woods, the tortuous puzzle melts…
Dr Prafulla K. Panda, MA,
M.Phil., Ph.D (b. 1978...). A lecturer by profession and a poet by passion, Dr Panda's poetic trajectory traverses across human life, society and beyond. His wide range of verses delve into intricacies of human relationship diving in its myriad shades of love, passion, emotion, mortality and death. For Dr Panda, poetry is not merely a tapestry of words but each word is a microcosm of the whole that opens the windows of eternal bliss and contentment. Like a mystic he never fails to surprise by blending the concrete with the abstract, the near with the far and the material with the spiritual. His poetry celebrates both free and rhymed verse though the latter often dominates the poetic structure.
Dr. Panda has published two collections of poetry- “Bounty of Silence: Verses Unveiling the Songs of Soul”, and "Beacon of Hope: A Symphony of Verses", and edited an inter-continental anthology “Beyond the Horizon”.
WINTER MOON
The winter moon is beaming bright Amid the shadows of the misty night She keeps her promise for her lover
So reaches to Earth in wintry weather
Her blushing beauty ever catches sight
When she glints through the icy night Amid the whispers of the chilly wind She submits to him by body and mind
The trees sway under her bright silvery light And mountains ponder in the gleaming night Amid symphony of owls and the crickets' sultry horn
She lies in his embrace until the morn
She blushes bright amidst his kisses light And stays awake on this passionate night.

IUBESC TIMPUL ACELA
Iubesc timpul acela ce ascunde în el iubirea, Nu-i pot uita nici glasul, nu-i pot uita privirea.
Iubesc acea iubire fără timp, fără anotimp, Dintr-un nimic născută, aflată-n contratimp.
M-aș înveli în timp, să simt că-mi este Iubirea cer albastru, clipă fără sfârșit, Trăire ne(scrisă), simțire de poveste, Val cuprinzând țărmul în dans nesfârșit. Iubesc timpul ce-ascunde în el secunde
M-aș înveli cu ele și le-aș trăi visând La clipă când râdeam de noi orișiunde, Privind anotimpul cu iubirea zburând.

THE SEARCH
Travelling a road
Where hearts bleed In the shadows
Of hollow temples
Where love is shunned And the only offering You have is your soul
Hallowed ground where rituals Have been performed Since time immemorial
Pathways paved by holy sacrifice
So we can all live a better life Have been neglected And no longer held sacred
Stalking graveyards of the past
In search of answers For the nightmares I experienced as a child Which remain hidden Amongst the wreckage
Yet my search for resolution Shall remain my mission For I have envisioned A sanctuary hence Where I may rest.

IDEA OF FREEDOM
Freedom attracts us. Everyone is looking for Freedom. But it looks like itself, as soon as it dresses in clothes of designer without awardsResponsibility. It is and internal And external. Fills the air with Love. But sometimes it's steep. It wants you to sacrifice yourself. And the comfort. And the silence. Freedom is not faith. Neither is yours. Neither - mine. It is the general concept to fly with Soul in the air.
And to step we in payback on traces from time immemorialbrave and hearty peoplea seed ancient in the Light. Everyone is looking for Freedom. When we ask the Soul, comes an answer in the hearts. RESPONSIBILITY IN LOVE. Come with Peace! Oh, Freedom!

A LOOK AT LIFE-152
Just close your eyes Take me wherever you want to I will be with you where you wish me to, heaven or hell, sun moon or stars I was with you, will be with you all the way No matter how poignant the journey may be. May be difficult to endure when you move from darkness to darkness but I relish your company in summer and winter coz without you, I do not have existence of my own
I don't have a shape, acquire a shape as you wish. I am beyond pair of opposites, devoid of attributes.
Have nothing to prove, nothing to accomplish, nothing to do and undo, yet I am everywhere, in everything and being I am the universe, time, space and causation, yet much beyond it. I remain in myself, yet I am in everything. I am One, become many when you come under illusion and wish me to
You don't see me But I am deep inside Look within I am you and you are me Consciousness, pure and unalloyed. Unveil the veil We are the same.
You are everywhere You are the limitless sky, the ever-expanding universe. Realise it! That will be the day for which you are here. The moment you have been looking forward to since long. Unless duality disappears you can't be yourself, the single, indivisible you without a second. that you are, the timeless, ageless you.

AFTER DARKNESS, LIGHT APPEARS
Without darkness, you would never see the moon gleaming
Without darkness, you would never see the stars glittering
The sky needs millions of stars to brighten the night
It would be awfully dark with only one star shining its light.
Darkness is just temporary, you will see rays of light in the morning
Welcome a beautiful day when the sun is rising
The magnificent dawn wakes up the birds to chirp and sing
The cherishing music echoes in the air, sweet and serenading.
Enchanting colours adorn the sky, and the ambience is mesmerizing
Saffron hues spread across the horizon, how enthralling
Golden sand sparkles, and sea waves rush to the shore
A serene moment for relaxation, and I wish for more.
The blooming flowers in various colours feast the eyes
The fragrance of nectar attracts bees and butterflies
Fluttering their vibrant wings, they perch on clusters of flowers
Sipping sweet honey and enjoying the rays of light for hours.
The glory of nature and its splendid blessings to mankind
It offers tremendous beneficial properties of every kind
This glorious nature creates wonders and nourishes us abundantly
The presence of nature's bounty makes life beautiful completely.

A BALLAD
She weaves her destiny
With her every pounding
And, makes a ballad in a hammer
Scattering dreams
In that millions of pebbles
Her sweating withers
Within the contour of her landscape
Leaving a relic
Of understanding within her
Many colorful birds get a warm
Of every hit she makes They chirp
In her every toil
No hope at all; she makes Yet, it goes by
Under the scorching sun
The river gushing by her side
Has sung the chronicles of her
Every moment she hits
The sound of shore
This is a pebble of life
Nestled in a toil
She scribbles the words
The words grown by her inheritance
Painted by the sunlight
Played in their own world
And, nature has understood
The hut of life
Sheltered under the open sky
Mingled by the breathless horizons
When gust comes
She startles
But, no fret
She ignores the wall and the roof
When the river grudges with heavy rainfall
She shifts her mind
Dwelling her tomorrow
A bit gasp she takes
Though not the final show
She looks up in the sky at last
And, she measures the breadth of the river
