Long Nepali Poems

Himalayas

Eons ago in the planet’s evolution,
During tectonic plate movement: 1
The Indian Island Ma moved northward
Crashing into the Eurasian continent,
To form the Himalayan mountains. 2

Out of the chaos, towering peaks arose,
Piercing heavenly soft, white cotton clouds,
Bursting...

THE SOUL OF A CHILD By Satis Shroff

They called me the ‘harelip monster’ at school,
And the schoolkids kicked me down the stairs.
I’d often come home bruised;
The children of my age called me:
‘Lakhe, the red-faced monster,’
Some...

 World all praise, everybody praise...
Man worship the true and only Father
Mankind open up,
And out of your mouths
Comes language only the Farther knows
Alleluia
and out of your mouths
Let the rejoicings start
Say..Alleluia
Sing..Praise Hallelujah

SPANISH VERSE...
Mundo todo elogio
El hombre...

Flowers climb the branches
exhibit their full blossom
flowers visit drawing rooms 
They visit temples 
and then they vanish.
defying fixed shapes
rivers hasten to no destination.
carrying countless goals
roads get lost in a maze. 

Unceasingly
I stand
holding the selfsame earth.

Many...

You’ve walked those streets a thousand times and still
                      You end up here. Regret...

in the evening light of an Ugandan town,
welcome breeze in a large thatched canopy,
in a gathering of strangers and friends,
a nepali chef’s exquisite indian cuisine, 
aroma of food swarms the candle-lit lobby,
a lone singer in...

Standing on some non-life fringe of life
embracing non-existent shape
like winds that stopped blowing,
I would be living in illusions
with fossils of life’s zest.

I would regard meanings
given by others so far 
as refreshing boon,
I would still be...

Even if they try to pluck it,
the flower submits itself onto their hands.
If it happens to prick their heels,
the thorn scorns itself all its life.

The dream too thinks twice, gets filtered to go soft
to be...

Pumped

Reams of paper sit upon my desk accordioned untidily, dimpled where the cat stood or sat too long. The wastepaper basket was full of crumbled balls, reflecting the topography of the Nepali  adventure ...

Fear of Tremor
The day in the mid of twelve
I was on mid road and felt dizziness in head 
Thought arose a fit of sugar
Compelled to lie down kneeling the earth

No sooner hands touched the pitch
Plying...

Let me not so much be lost in involvements
as would make me incapable of
recognizing the fragrance of the flower 
beaming in my own yard; as would 
divest me of time 
for the merry sports of...

Desires
play perpetually

I am gazing--
desires
unaware of destiny
frisk about my mindscape
like children.

While playing children
break my mind’s toys
lacerate its walls 
peel away mind’s layers
pulverise them and
throw around.

Desires stay unaware
of man’s fragile existence 
authored by scarcity 

They are not...

I am at a loss
In the haze of twilight years
Reinforced by the hill-fog 

I am at the moment
With the icy magnificence
Of Mount Everest

I am at a loss
Because of
The weird fact that
My poem 
''You kindled the...

Standing on top of each morning briefly
stopping by each evening shortly
unmindful, my eyes are chasing,
my eyelids are sweeping with light the sky 
splattered with colours pilled out
after hitting horizon’s last shore. 

I am thinking
what is...

Asphyxiated and found dead
Raped and found dead
Unsure what happened, and found dead
Nepali women found dead

Snake bitten and found dead
Eaten by tigers and found dead
Left in a small dark menstrual hut 
And found dead

Nepali women found...
