The Voiceless

For I am dumb,my sound is off
Can you lend me,your voice my friend
The war is dead-why soldiers lost
Stares perplexed child,his dreams to mend

I want to say-the pain I see
In naked body under the open sky
The shivering soul persists to feel
Hot days in wait,cold nights to cry

From mother's warmth,to the open streets
Your lavished life--how full of greed
What they feed;the withered seeds
This land is yours,where's their to breathe

You waste your words,all day in vain
Why what you see,you want to see
Wake for a while to soak that rain,
And help my friend to let them free!!

The Untold..

Between,
living hope and dying fate
submerged thoughts and
flying debts
I brought few things,
the glories of dead
one cot to swing and
a lot to say

That You in Me

you live old;your heart is old!
of boiling blood,
your thoughts so cold
you dream so high and
seldom do trying
you want to fly,
afraid of dying!!

you wait a while;your pregnant pause!
for loser's choice,
no use in cause
you aim to sky and
never shoot up
you seek fortune,
relying on luck!!!

अन्तिम वाक्य

मृत्‍यु यहाँ जिउनलाई
अझ धेरै बाँकी नै छ
फेरी किन आज मेरो
लासको यति चाह गर्छौ । 
समयको खेल यस्तो
छ र कोही अमर यहाँ
पर्ख केही छण अब
चिता भित्र जल्न आउछु ।।

(In memory to the most difficult day of my life)
Hajurmuwa..

Restless

drop and drop to sea they say
but can it burn the fire out?
you might kill the man in you,and
who'll keep your soul off doubt??

you can run it,rules of thy
or bound yourself in pains and cries
at end to life you found yourself
did you lived the way you like??

Lamentation

A man will born,
the day he dies
the more he gets hurt,
the more he cries
for years he loses
the day to win
gives up hope,
and no longer tries

No More Twinkles !!

on even night a star falls
into the deep dark sea and
never returns from the grave
the fallen,the dead one

a child cries
in the dead city lane
yells in pain and hurt
for what he witnessed,
no more glimpse of
'twinkles' in the sky
the song 'twinkle twinkle'
is no more a wonder..

My Life

my life is an open box
for years it has been like this
you can put your dreams and hopes
and give my life a better way
or pack old ruins of world all day
and make my life for just to say....

Grave of My Dreams

today I am brought back
from the grave of my dreams
as they were never meant to be
fulfilled by my own hands
for what I dreamed was
nothing but mere illusions

the stubborn me
never understood the truth
that the  race I joined to
got no endings

I am glad being brought back
from the grave of my dreams
to the deck of pragmatic thinkers
in the battle of astute survivors..

Faded Dreams

In dreams lately I see myself
following every single drop of rain
with no slippers;
to  quarrel  with my serenity
In the green landscape,
my beloved country hill..


the fathers,
peasant men on the slopes
all soaked to the skin
for grains of hope
whilst their children are dancing
with the roar of enlightenment
albeit the truth it is,
the smell of mud won't last forever!!!


sooner or later ,
the cow is going to finish the grass
and the shepherd will be blamed
for nothing he gets in return..

Broken Bridge

that broken bridge,to the other shore
pulls me back; the dark alley
for often I failed to cross it
and so are my dreams that,
stayed to mock on the other side...

for I feared to move on
the more back,the less front
in nothingness;the world denies of
empty handed;yet staring
that broken bridge.....

Struggle

I hold a leaf
on the desert street
with a big drop of water
willing to defy;to transcend

but no more you see
the beauty it beholds
on those cautious touches
of water,around the edges
after that fear of
falling down
how it vanishes
never to return..
