मौसम

वसन्तको  एकदिन

मेरा  सपनाले 

तिम्रो सिरानीमा  बास  मागे 

 

वर्षातको एकदिन

पानी संगै सपना

मेरो सिरानी बाट पखालिएर गए 

The need

to whitewash
and sugar coat
your words
and disguise
your feelings
just so that
someone will like you

because there is no one
who will agree

Meant to be

Little coincidences of love -
       The same favorite color,
       The same hated subject in high school,
       The same indifference to a popular star -
Making you feel like
It's meant to be

The stuff of legend
If it works out

Dreaded skeletons in the cupboard
If it doesn't

Entitlement

Do i not get it just because i never considered it my birthright?
Do you get it just because you never question yours?

Instead of a void

Lucky are they
Who have a tragedy
To cry and rail about
Cling to, refer to,
And orient around

They don't have to run around
In unexplained angst
Like the rest of us
When there is nothing
To make us happy

P. S.
Some people
Like the lovers of Peter Pan
Will always have the tragedy of their lost childhood

The lingering feeling

When a favorite song ends
Before you are ready for it to end

It's good to remember
That it's never supposed to end
In the first place.

If i lived
Before cassettes and cd players
Reduced music
Into bite sized pieces
And turned compositions
Into an art form,

I might have
Hummed the same song
Over and over again,

Never having to know
The lingering loss
When my favorite song ends.

Tweaking a joke here,
Adding a feeling there,
Until i knew the
Rhyme and rhythm
Inside out,
And it rocked me to sleep
And sang in my dreams...

Never having to know
The lingering loss

Question - II

"My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods. Time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees - my love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath - a source of little visible delight, but necessary."

- Catherine Earnshaw

Question: What does it take to get the rock out of the system?
Alien invasion?
Meteor explosion?
Dinosaur football?
Tectonic plate shift?
What? What?? What?????
