LETTERS /POEMS by  EDITORS
Congratulations for the new issue- here is something in continuation-

From Darkness toward Light
Darkness is covered by darkness
layer after layer
light beyond the womb
is illusion.
Falsehood has spread everywhere
greed is covered by carcass
darkness in the nether world
dark hole in the sky
schizophrenics idiots and nincompoops
suffer from nebulosity
half-wits and cunning fellows
are consumed by their own follies
earthquake pestilence and deluge
the natural calamities
earth has witnessed many;
this is for the first time that
man has threatened nature and earth
warming nuking aiding with AIDS
Nature is a helpless spectator.
Religious fundamentalists
swarm like snakes on earth
whole body covered with burqa like things
they look at your heart
with vile eyes
without your knowledge
swarming and spreading out in alien lands
they kill themselves, kill others;
zealots’ swords like Damocle’s
hang over your heads, close to necks
saints with the benevolent and the honest
hide inside the dark cave
nothing is spared, none is spared.
Hermaphrodites lesbians sodomites
prosper like models everywhere
it’s an ill-gotten bastard time
but it seeks change earnestly.

All sleep when thousand stars
illuminate the earth and sky
but they linger at the brink
of the half-conscious memories;
trellised sunlight falling on forest floor
seeks the balls of light
at the source of darkness,
from the holed hideouts
they peep and peer out
the sons and daughters of light.

The skeptics yawn at their audacity
to penetrate the thick darkness,
at their impertinence
and unforeseen challenge.

Hello from Iran,

Thanks for ur online poetry magazin...so nice ..this time had lots of deepness...i enjoyed...

I just have a suggestion..coz anytime i read ur page my eyes start to pain ,because of the color of text and background...if it is possible for you please change the color of text from white ON black...maybe a drak color for text and a light color for background will be better...
Thanks alot...all the best on ur poetry and your mission and all artist's mission of lightening the darkness. :)

best regards
Leila M.

Hi teacher,
Thanks for giving me some light about darkness. Why don't you post your newsletter of Kritya to the group email of the Malayalam writers Union?
Best regards,

रति जी
नमस्कार...कृत्या नियमित देखता हूँ. आपकी मेहनत साकार हो रही है.
एक गुजराती कविता देखें
मै क़लमा पढकर सुरैया नहीं बनना चाहती

Dear Rati Ji,
I was very happy to read your message but I think the meaning of the sanskrit verse quoted in your mail is about going towards light and not towards 'SAT" Tamaso ma jyotirgamaya would translate as "Let me go to light from darkness" Asato ma Sadgamaya would mean let me go from untruth to the truth. I may be wrong. Kindly enlighten me.

Dear Rati,
thank you, I red new Kritya. I also discovered that there is available my CV, may I add there something? This spring I got Juhan Liiv annual prize again so it would be correct if there was "Juhan Liiv annual prize 2000 and 2009". Thank you again and I send you good wishes from Estonia.

Thank you so much for publishing my article in the November issue. I am very much impressed by your phylosophy of getting into a positive exile from darkness to light in this month's editorial.

I am no poet like the ones i read, but have been writing for couple of years. Am sharing some with you...Would you like to go through them and see if they work? they work for me and the moments i wrote them in.


Let me know.

Much love,

Navita
