I Want To Plant a Seed of Poesy
I Want to Plant a Seed of Poesy
By Purushottam Dhakal
I want to write a poem
Every time
As people happen to die at road side
For lack of filling the stomach.
People are compelled to live a life
As...

The Great Fish Maui Snared
With canoe and hook of a jawbone
below a great fish Maui snared,
and his brothers half-crazed behaving
leapt and gouged in frenzy craving.
From Palliser Bay to Cape Reinga
(departing place of the...

A Letter To My Dead Daughter
My Love,
The sky reminded me of you today.
The sun set in lilac with a teasing tinge of pink—
just the way you used to love it.
On other days, the sky is yellow and murky,
reeking of sulphur...

Wasted Energy
Wasted Energy
Darkness descends like a ribbon unfurling
As astronauts in space orbit the churning Earth
And observe the lit orb that is the world below.
Likened to a planet on fire in sulphurous yellow,
Though impressive to see, it...

The Visit
There it was again,
a scratching at my door.
Like nails upon a chalkboard.
It wasn't there before.
The wind blew round the settle
and the fire glowed back to life.
I reached for my plate of bread and cheese
and deftly...

Sloth
It was the missing decade
of my life that came back,
late on one clammy night.
Wearing your visage
of a foraging girl
at the foot of a tranquil Vesuvius.
Spent though I was,
for those decades still with me,
I...

Cafe Terrace in Arles, France
Café Terrace in Arles, France
Beneath stars of heavenly grandeur,
In a café, romance prospects dwell brighter.
Patrons’ entertaining escapades of camaraderie
Charismatically whisper away the evening.
Visible under the illuminating gas lantern
Of sulphurous yellow, revealing customers
Who say, “S'il vous...

Volcanic Eruption of a Soul
At times the soul gets clenched,
in an unspeakable grief.
In a demoniac grip,
it chokes and w r i g g l e s~

or hacked piece by piece by...

A New Age of Darkness
The era of darkness is near,
I can smell the ground starting to rot.
The penetrating scent of Fetidity
Assaulting the nostrils of pure souls.
With the putrid scent goes along,
Your last uncontaminated Exhalation.
There goes the only hope...

Night Watch
The harsh winds snarl and bite like fighting dogs.
No pity in this bull-black bitter night.
No stars nor moon can pierce the city fog.
No shelter saves the beggar from his plight.
The winds whip swirling grit and...

Essence
Something sinister stalks the streets
Searching the smells at sunset
Slipping unseen, slinking in shadows
Seeking that special sweet snack
She sees with rose tinted glasses
It's secretly stolen her senses
Slowly the serpent approaches
Since now it somehow seems safe
It's sulphurous...

Stonefaced
STONEFACED
facets of fear
stoneswept
windfaced
as we stepped
into murky
darkening grey
recalling that
day you began
to fade away...
like vapour into
a mental decline
surrealistic
and sublime
tangible terror
overflowed
lunacy replaced
sanity as you
voiced your mind….
bold angels trapped in blocks of ice
labyrinths tangled in whirlwinds slice
insidious moons...

Darkly Smoldering Allies
Darkness and I have become allies,
affinity by association's shadowed prayer
spoken of the same kindred language,
consanguinity in our devout appeal
of blackening night's smoky exposure,
like a coke whore I...
