These parallel conversations-
The silent and the spoken
Should I laugh at myself,or
It's a felony-you have different rules here.
To respect one's insanity;that's good,above the ground
Because,
You always wanted to hide.
Nervous,and weak-hearted' all are
Not just at times,and only you.
I am not different at all.
More often I follow haunted traits.
And nowhere you find today as me
These trails of melancholy,
Empathy-ruminations;
Free walk.
But isn't that an adventure
You'd always wanted in
Life.

Falling away from-yet near to the shore
I wonder if raining' is a magic you know
When you feel low with love,and alone
"Don't play on me,I don't want it more"
I'd say.But you won't stop for a while
And would soak me all day in melancholy
Like clouds;darkened and all over sky
Memories-how bad it may,it will grow.
Anyway.

Goodbye Summer..

To the winter of valley-
How you always surround me in nostalgia
As for now; mountains are less brighter
And snow is melting with tears
I wonder how you will be-a month after now
Or can you stay like this forever.
Things are a never changing circle-in times
Of stagnation ', but heart always wants difference. Even then
Can it be, these breeze will never run out
And these mountains ' always stay white
And greens will be greener -more charm, and
Beautiful 'd be an essence of the surviving.
Let's hope for tomorrow morning,
I see a winter ' again;and be happy like as before
Goodbye summer.

Just Like That

Just like that-
You won't believe it.
But it's been like this for a  long time.
A skeptic head is better than a sarcastic one.
With less on hand- An hour glass is  our life
No one can turn it-upside down,
While age remains , and youth is gone
Just like that.

~ Shashi Raj Pandey

After a short moment of sanity
Don't you want a dose of clarity?
A sudden realization-that pollutes
What is called a conscious mind you have.
You almost believed!
A liar I am.
For happiness is short,and as of life;
You have no idea.
Long long way to go my friend-
A little more of that is life.
Just a little more!

काठमान्डौँ

यहाँ शहरमा,
उसै कोलाहल जमेको छ
मानिसहरु भित्र
अनी सडकमा,
हिंड्ने भन्दा थुक्ने बढी छन्
ज्ञानीहरु,र म। 
रत्नपार्कको एक छेउ,
शिरीशका रुखहरु 
आफ्नै छायाँ कुल्चदै झुम्मिएका
एकसुर
वसन्त पर्खदै-
नेपथ्य,
आफैमा स्वरुप खोज्दो छ निरन्तर
भ्रम-चेतना आगन्तुकको ।
हरेक साँझ,
उसका आँखाहरु रसाएको देख्छु
अनी सोच्छु,
आँशु सत्य कि चोट?
जब सपना फुट्छन्-
पालो मिचेर
एक पछी अर्को अनी,
मर्दो रहेछ भोक पनि
सुन्य भएर
यहाँ,
शहरमा

Some Things That Stay

That used to be-my things I'd give
And envy all that flies away.Softly
They sail in the golden aurora,and lure
Beings with lackluster heart-
We are.
I'd keep myself in melancholy
And weep all day in delusion;naive I am
And that's not living I know.Just trying to,
I forget.
Everytime to forgive is human
Not at times-we do.
Even then everyday,
Listen to the wind it says
As some seeds they wither to flower
We should let things go,and
That's how it works.
In life,
Some things they run so easy
And some things they stay.
Forever.

~Shashi Raj Pandey

Happiness

Subtle moments of happiness
They don't grow or are rooted
They just sail again and again
Like leaves in the wind's waves.
But you always wanted it named
O' this and that-big and strange
I wish you'd ever looked that way
A beautiful world that you've framed.

~Shashi Raj Pandey

Living A 'Subconcious' Mind

Dreams,don't kill me
I give up.
I know you are a ghost
And you can.
If you ever begin
No one can stand against
And you won't let them
To follow naive child's heart
Or I'd have lived happiness
With joy and celebration
You kept it away.Well, wise?
You are so young and full of hopes,
If you don't kill me.But
You can and will
Because I know you are a ghost.
A ghost within.

~Shashi Raj Pandey

Following Back

How often I don't know,but always it is
They've looked at me and my melancholy.
I've waved them back-not that I wanted to
Why today won't last but ends up slowly.

Then a thought of love,so young.So old
Is a happy heart.It grew in a blissful play.
And faced all the odds but where are they
Tears,you naive they will find their way.

A life to learn,and you've watched me back
The most they came-the worst my choosing.
Well can it be someday when there's no past
But all living today.And no pain of losing.

How often I don't know ,but always it is
Solitude will be the greatest form of living.
And if something stays and it'd survive
It wouldn't be doing magical but just being.

~Shashi Raj Pandey

Sunshine

What a beautiful day today
All I can see is deep blue sky
Like entire` ocean's up there
Though I haven't seen it alive.
Not with my eyes,not to this life
I've felt it on my feet.It's not dry
But moist.As stream touches me,
Nurtures my soul.As wind goes by
And wave of white clouds floats
Softly over my head.I am tingled,
Blossomed.With emotions and love
To you O' nature,my love.I am alive.
I am contented.More than any.
