Only love counts

Not the things you buy for them
Or the time you spend with them
Or the kindness and consideration

But the wellspring of emotion
That will not be faked

Only that binds, nothing else counts

बाढी

दिनभरी बाँधेर राखेको
भावनाको भारले
राती त बाँध फुट्नु नै थियो

Tragicomedy

Don't know whether it's
sad or funny or annoying

When an extremely bigoted person
Tries to pass himself off
As a cool young dude

40 acting 14
simply makes me sorry,
I suppose,
That he doesn't realize
How silly he looks

Peeling off the layers

Peeling away the layers
Of my identity
Trying to reach the
"Real me"
And finding that
You have changed
The real me
And that i do not know
What i used to be

Forever nervous

Fidgety jittery
Flighty overreacty
Startly jumpy

Burning up
Bodily energy
Waiting for
Thunder to strike

And being burnt out
When it actually does

What are they afraid of?
What are they hiding?

Tell-tale

The slouch on the chair
The drooping eyelids
May give the impression
Of ennui

But look at the fingers
Constantly drumming
On the nearest surface
The toes scrunched up
The "droopy" eyelids
Blinking too fast

And you see
The nervous people
Who never rest

People with a core of
Air and fire
Wings and wind

Solace

When only a man
with tbe weight of the world upon him
Gives solace
