Best Himalayan Poems

Himalayan  Trip-Trap

They poured in,  before the deluge
To surpass the natives in numbers
folks in their  cribs -through-hearse  stages, 
trusting like kids,  a burnished sky,  blue-white, 
a cocktail of the wrong and right,
and the mountains, inwardly  grumbling ,
darkly forbidding…

Snaking it...

The young men sat, planted under the overhang
like the pansies and geraniums that surrounded them in boxes,
as the rain pelted the terra-cotta terrace.

The mountain air was sharp with the taste of lightening.
Having bid farewell to the arched shard of a rainbow across the valley,
they sat...

There dwells, in pale eastern shade
Under dark pillars, Himalayan
Forged in thunder’s dome
A lonely flower
Seven years a virgin locked
Now spiraling flush and flame
Parting petals
Awake and tremble
Only to slip thereafter and forever
Into peaceful abyss
Dissolve into earth
My heart empty
Shall I deliver
From grief in brief flash 
Glory from death
Snatch...

A sarcastic frown;
Labeled grumpy old feline;
Still beauty is found.

The view is one of rare and ineffable beauty
as our plane passes over the Himalayas.
Mountains, enveloped in dense forests
embroidered with meandering rivers and streams
exude the soothing radiance of green.

The sky is a panoramic show of clouds 
appearing in myriad forms:
layers of vapor surging forth; 
fluffy...

There's an eatery here in my hometown I'd heard about,
That features exotic wild animal fare so I thought I'd check it out!
I perused the menu and here are a few examples of its bizarre cuisine:
Slow-broiled and marinated Indian elephant spleen;
Delectable bar-be-qued Texas style rib of...

As the bus rode 
through the molting pine forest and
the crumbling ochre rock formations;
bits of colorful cellophane litter brought the only relief to the eye.

Inside, behind a profusion of people,
boxes, backpacks and assorted baggage
babies slept.

The bus creaked, shook and groaned
its way down the serpentine,
asphalt, mountain...

She found a job near Annapurna and when she trekked around a turn
It was like walking into a wall of beauty, awesome like a burn
It sometimes stopped her cold; this display words could not surpass:  
Alpenglow on distant peaks, flags on a mountain pass.

Her...

waterfalls thunder down Himalayan peaks,
cuckoo calls pierce echoing mountains,
April displays stalls of flowers for customer bees,
pines wait, wearing overalls of pearl white snow,
river flows silent between walls of ancient rocks!

Imagine me the creature in broad daylight 
with green metallic crest
as I flaunt a copper plumage wild and free
whilst feathering my nest
native of the Himalayan range I scale
the sun drenched mountain peaks
the zoom and swoop spirit I encapsulate 
when skimming gold vein creaks

I dwell on...

Better to reach for something
and miss
than to hold back playing it safe

Destiny in the intention
and choice
hesitance falling from grace

Better to be adopted 
by truth in flight
than the orphan of a lie

Where words and music marry as one
on the highest mountain
—you climb

I have seen you flash by
Amidst thick green foliage and swaying pines
Like a distant silver dream
On receding skyline
But was never satisfied
For a close encounter I craved

I did then go up
The Space Needle in Seattle
Hoping to have a clear view
Of your snow-clad balding pate
That thought profound...

Why am I hurt so sore, my folks 
Why does my heart bleed
Why do I take it so personally 
Why do I need to worry at all

Yesterday my General, his men
And the family were here in splendor
Today they are nowhere to be seen
Men in uniform...

It is too many Peaks towering high
Snow-capped giants scraping the sky
Mighty Himalayas
Cold winds howl and icy blasts sigh

It is too treacherous
Those jagged peaks were so perilous
Glaciers groan and shift
Avalanches roar, and the danger is furious

It is too remote
Villages clinging to precipitous slopes
Narrow trails wind
?Few dare...
