While I fall into empty spaces 
To places I don't know
They are too dark to be seen 
Too loud to be spoken about 
Too light to put over, 
The black magic of love.
It's more like a see'saw,
And dots getting closer,
To map another space of darkness
'Dark enough for light to be seen again'
I wish someone would fall with me too
For forever, I would keep a trap inside
And won't let you go,
I am too mean I know
To be loved
Loved again
~

While I slowly squeeze myself in cold 
Some nerves from the lungs and heart
Twist stiff. For little of that warm oxygen 
Availed around this ambiance of chaos;
Less is transported into my brains, 
More than sufficient to save my death
For few years of humanity around
All be blessed to that, if not anything
In this celebrated scarcity!
~

From a long walk there, I came here to be
A little naive, dreamer, magic lover child 
No need for me to figure out worldly now
You can make it aloud,I won't mind to see
Stillness rejuvenates within my soul, shy
Free l grow at once from all philosophies
These subtle, conscious learning seems
More like a reality, I don't care if it's a lie
To live happily.
~

While my self gets dragged into
A chaos full of rush and anxiety 
All I wish is to get out of that box'
And trust my foot for a long walk
Instead, 
More calm and peaceful.

In Cold Mountains That Day

This silence in sounds of little madness
Outside. It's as fog covered snow flakes
Rising slowly from known integral depth
An old prophecy . Of what a winter takes

Layered, more intrigued with the warmth
I keep putting more clothes , overlapped
My body started freezing down instead
And more numb.For any sense could last

That was the twist, much scary lone walk
When I couldn't judge lights, and behold
My way for a place where people live
'I must be the sun, and stars in this cold!'
~

Chaos

Drifting along the shore,
While momentary seems eternal
It's a huge space to be filled with
The blue, white and most un'colored'
Seems a marginal trade-off between
The rational,and the radical
A 'keep your head up' diaspora
March unarmed -
Yet most are not ,
Near the coastline
The war has been called up.
"Do not panic!"
"Stay clam!"
Our placards of courage and resilience
To children sleeping with backpacks
Of gunpowder,And tools that make future
A peaceful world as it seems to be.
~

'Missed Last Bus'

Never late I start in the end
From darkest of the night
These pairs of magic shoes
Firmly holds, and lift me light

Long walk to count on steps
Reaching nowhere near to
Fair silhouettes in the alley
Clinging alone;so human too

At last I look at someone
A friend to talk around
As journeys take much time
Until l', or home is found.

~

In that whistle endued trumpet now 
Silent are amongst the lower chords
The minor will then look for compromises,
Whilst ,the major always promises a lot
So narrow prophecy of societal growth
In equality , prosperity and peace too
These sounds of thunder;control slowly
And you kneel and break in grounds too
When that time,they come and questions
Your children and theirs start haunting
How can you unchain their slavery then
Or who would they choose to be a Master??
~

म कस्तो नागरिक-
उपभोग्य। 
शान्त घोडाका टापहरु
नेपथ्यमा, 
रंग सजिएको छ गाढा 
युद्ध महारथी बुद्ध भई
रगत परीक्षण गरीरहेछन्
अनी, सडकमा
जोगी संन्यासी हुर्काउँदै
राक्षस निस्किएको छ, मुखौटा
एकलव्य शरीरहरु
मतिहिन सजावटी विद्या पहिरीएर
अघि बढ्दो छन्
दुःख उसै,
जान्दा जान्दै पनि
पछ्याउँछन्,
म जस्तो नागरिक
उपभोग्य घोडाहरु।
~

Under a powerful notion today- time is
Another crossfire;a self implanted idea
Beneath that,something more fragile may be 
A concept so 'profound' named 'nationalism'
Should I buy another propaganda'?
Should I fuel a feud??
You know it so right,
'This city hears only at times'
And near to edge,
Then only it can be lured!May be
But then,
Who am I, and who are you?
Just a meaningless temporal flesh and bones??
If light's so short,to hold and to be bought
Why not sit around and talk,with love that we own.

सन्दर्भ, उसलाई शिर दिँदा 
सम्मान केलाउँदै सम्बन्धको
जुग सन्त, महात्मा सम्झि। 
कुरा, उसलाई आेत दिँदा
पहाडभई अग्लि-उभिएर
सिमा प्रकृति,शत्रु बनेका सँग।
छेवै बसी,उ
आँखै सामु नाच्न थाल्थ्यो,
कङ्काल मित्रभाव झाँकी
हाम्रा कान थर्थराउँथे,
ऊ घन्काउँथ्यो सजावटि सँगीत
प्रेमको, हाम्रो मौनतामा।
जब घरै भित्र आयो,
फुल सजायौँ छिमेकि उ
एक एक उप्काउँदै भित्ताहरु
सद्भभाव, शान्ती, सम्बन्धहरु
झुल्कन खोज्दै सुनौलो बिहानी पनी
खोस्रीदै गयो, हाम्रो मौनतामा।
सोच्चेँ कतिन्जेल नबोलुँ,
परीवेश खराब कि सम्बन्ध
ईतिहास कमजोर या यथार्थ
सपनामा देखेँ,
हिमालको उचाई घट्दो छ
हिँउ पग्लि नदिहरु
दैलो नपुग्दै वाफ हुन्छन्
फर्कन्छन् आफ्नै आकाश मा
बादल, वायु अनी पानी
डर त उसलाई नि पैँचो छ।
~

रानीपोखरी

रानीपोखरी
शहरको बिचमा उभिएर
परिवर्तन, प्रकाश र प्रहार सहि बसेको
दुर दराज नेपाली अस्तित्व को परिदृश्य 
जो आफैँ शिथिल तर अजय अचल छ
ट्याँकर, पानी र माछाहरु
अचेल एक आवेग,
यथास्थिति बिरुद्ध, उ चलायमान हुनु
अनी पो त देश बन्ला।
~

यात्रा

यात्रा, एक अलौकिक रोमान्चमा 
हिँड्दैछु केहि दिन, हफ्ता 
महिनौँ पछिको अवसर 
जुटाएको छु उमेरको। 
उसलाई त केवल कथा चाहिएको छ 
घुम्ती, गोरेटो
उकालो, ओह्रालो
कोहि आईदेवोस् सुसेल्दै
लोक मिठा भाका
वायु, केश, फिरफिरे
चाल,
नव सोच, दृष्टि बोकेर।
म भने खुशीको खोजीमा
एक निरस जिवन
पुनर्जिवन पुकार्दै हिँडेको
शान्ति त केवल यहि
आफ्नै हिमाल तिर।
~

Nostalgia

So rambling stories I have to begin with
Of my childhood's wooden carved trolley
Those plastic tube while run much too slow
Albeit snowy slopes;I wouldn't mind to worry

I'd spin it round, and round again
Till my arms go twisted back along
While you pull my ears, O' Mother, dear
"It's a circle, not a square! ", to be done

My choices - so naive ,and what a square is?
"It will rotate quick, mother! ", I'd cry out loud
She'd hold me back, and hug me tight then
And would smile for a dreamer boy in me.
~

Peace Please

Under a powerful notion today- time is
Another crossfire;a self implanted idea
Beneath that,something more fragile may be
A concept so 'profound' named 'nationalism'
Should I buy another propaganda'?
Should I fuel a feud??
You know it so right,
'This city hears only at times'
And near to edge,
Then only it can be lured!May be
But then,
Who am I, and who are you?
Just a meaningless temporal flesh and bones??
If light's so short,to hold and to be bought
Why not sit around and talk,for love that we own.

शुन्य

जीवनको अनिश्चीतता 
र बढ्दो उमेरको परिधी भित्र
एक निमेश 
सोम्य, शान्त कसरी हुर्कियोस 
बोल न तिमी -
केही
मन बहलाउने सपनाका कुराहरु
म भुल्न चाहन्छु दिन जसै 
भित्ता भित्र कुदिएका 
पत्थरहरुको ।
कती भिन्न कथामा सजिएर 
टुक्रा-टुक्रा जोडीएका यि - एक  
अनी मन्चन ,तिम्रो मुखारबिन्द बाट
जब अनौठो कम्पन सिर्जित हुन्छ 
धर्ती छातीहरु को रेसा रेसा छुट्टिएर 
उतर दक्षिण लम्कन्छन् ,
यत्र तत्र ।    
यसैमा,कतै किनारा सग्लिएला बरु 
मनुवा डुंगाहरु शहरका भवसागर माझ 
बादलका आकृति झैँ 
असंख्य रुप देखाउँछन् बिपदमा 
रमिते , सुन्य 
जीवनको अनिश्चीतता र 
बढ्दो उमेरको परिधी भित्र ।
~

Right on one cold stormy night
As rainy it goes,and horrors might
Soak all carriers like ocean high
I think of time and drown in life.
~

क्रमश'मा एक पूर्णबिराम लागेपछीका दिनहरु
मेरो मौनताको भाषा,र
यो ढुङ्गा शरीर भएर पर्खदा
केवल,
आकाश विशाल भित्ता भएको छ
धर्ती उजाड मरभुमी अनी
द्रिष्य कुरुप यथार्थ ।
म अस्तित्वको दोधारमा
एक पछी अर्को कदम अड्याउँछु
न बढ्छु कतै उर्बर समाज भेट्छु
केवल टोलाउँछु - समय झैँ
हाँस्छु आफु सम्झिएर कहिले
रुन्छु आफु बिर्सिएर कहिले ,
डरहरुमा ।
जीवन कतै यिनै खेलाँचीमा अल्झिएर
समाप्तीको पर्खाई नपाओस्
अनी,लेख्द लेख्दै शब्दहरुको क्रमश'मा
एक पूर्णबिराम नलागोस्
कसैलाई , कहिल्यै।

Chasing shadows of stranger's
I roam around quietly yet long
While near' infinity laughs behind
Silhouettes;a self-structured phantom
Haunts so loudly, where I stay to leave
With nothing on my mind.
~

Wild‬

Before all things keep a certain pace
I run near to shores- into these woods
A strange look that falls upon,and ask
Time slowly stops,though large it took
Into the wild - far away from maddening crowd
I am the sky ; I am also the deep blue
I am the mountains - beneath these rocks
I am the wind just above the top ;I knew.

~

Arty , an euphoria that belongs to
My loud expected state of consciousness-
Assumed once to a sublime one though
But,with this naive preposition
Came nothing more than a stardust.
~

As I inch a little closer to the universe
The brightest possible atomic re-structure
In the sky - tonight,the moon sits calmly
An elegant disposition of beauty I assume
Circumscribed; with clouds of rainbow
A peaceful resurrection to happiness.
~

This lonesome run of how many miles
As that end is way too far to reach
But,ever if recited-tales of adventures
I'd always laugh from my best of it!
~

Roughed day;
Like plastic' a while
To get predicted,or
Live as, a sly trick
This strange terrain of laughter
Deceives so easily-somehow
I feel invisible,all.And
As you are too
Nearby.
~

Sometimes when I feel like wining
Though no sure what it's all about
And,losing it all again, never mind
At once-to the limit;moreover a while
I can only wonder,how strange it is
About being,
And feeling being all into it!

~ Shashi Raj Pandey

When I tried to shoot up way high
Lamely garnished,these desires aim none
Look!This sky is with millions of stars!
Why just to look for that shiny one
In fact,a stranger is your only friend
Who'll never give you chance to lose
He comes in-goes out so easily;unnoticed
This gravity of greed is to be understood 

~

Ignorance!

In every colors of a rainbow
From where they glitters by
Not as easily happy,or annoyed
Just a passenger telling me lie!

A bout of wisdom to be called
And my plastic life - no joy
When it gets louder to be heard
I will plant me another noise.

~ Shashi Raj Pandey
