I want to dream

I wake up, 

I wake up from a dream, 

Me flying in the sky, 

Blue, serene, and so surreal,
I gather an endless joy, 

Amidst the white clouds I smile, 

I smile for the pain, 

For the bliss,  and for the life I had, 

With a cunning grin in my face, I lie;

I lie to my soul, 

To tell me that the dream is real, 

Then I close, I close my eyes, 

To dream again, flying in the sky. 

The sun goes down, 

A dark sheet covers up the sky, 

I wake up again; in an utter silence,

To summon the stars, 

But the glow that still persists, 

Little birds flapping their wings, their chirps, 

Loved ones waiting in the nest, for the time, 

To share their delight, and agony to endure, 

Right when I delve into my thoughts, 

The stars twinkle, 

To bring back the ambience that I had lost, 

For a moment, I had thought, 

This was the end, 

Then I close, I close my eyes, 

I want to dream once again. 

Your shadow in the trail

When I see you at the same coffee shop,

The same cappuccino, the same bagel in your hand,

The same make-up on your cheeks,

And still the same white scarf around your neck,

I wonder if you ever felt detached from me.

Still you persist; you say its over,

You say there is no line between you and me,

Your thick, black hair still lurking beneath your shoulders,

The same red heels that you wore,

On our first date, the same perfume around you,

Are these memories still with you?

Does that remind you how much I cared?

I know how you feel,

Your arrogant pride won’t let you confess,

To face the truth that you miss me,

Those long nights of phone calls, those dates,

I know you won’t forget; the time by the shore,

The first time I kissed you under the moon,

Overseeing the fading sun, you had said this is all you want.

And you still say you have moved on,

I wonder if you really have,

The other day, I walked by the park we spent most of our time,

I recalled the moment, my head lying on your lap,

Counting stars, cursing the dark clouds and their shadows,

And you had said this is all you want,

Now I wonder if you really meant it, or I might be wrong,

Could be my fault to still trace your shadows,

On the footsteps in the trail, you had said this would be our last date. 

तिम्रो साथ

तिम्रो आँखामा संसार देख्ने कोशिस गर्दा
आज म सबैबाट पराइ भए
तिम्रो साथमा गन्तब्य पुग्ने प्रयास गर्दा
किन किन क्षितिजपारि हेर्न भुलें
दोष दिन्न तिम्लाई म, म नै नादान थिए
तिम्रो आँखामा संसार देख्ने कोशिस गर्दा

तिम्रो आलंग्गनको न्यान्यो स्पर्शले
मेरो आँखा छोपिदिंदा
सामिप्यका मेरा साथी सबै म भुली गए
तिम्रो गल्ती थिएन केही, म नै नादान थिए
तिम्रो आँखामा संसार देख्ने कोशिस गर्दा
