Together,
It should be the only dream.And
Happiness is being with people
You love.
How long can a place hold?
What is beauty in mountains-
Green grasslands of north;Or
Long sea of plains.
It's just an instance; to hold your beliefs
And,
It must be a magic then-
I used to say
White clouds,they sail so lightly in the blue sky,
Gently touches the shrine of tops
Life should be like this,
Forever.
How beautiful is that.
But now it keeps you alone,
Always.
A lone keeper' never weeps for the crowd
But family,meanwhile -it takes no time.And
Life falls apart
In rush- friends;the dearly ones
People you love.
It has been my life -at the moment.

एकै बोट टाँसिएर पनि
जिवन र म
फुल्छौँ आफ्नै क्षितिज
लाग्छ भिन्न,
तर
हुर्किएको धर्ति जो यो
जरा फेरिए जस्तो
गुम्सिएर माटो मुनि
बालुवा भित्रको अन्तर-संघर्ष
पानी हुन्छ
अनी,
नसा-नसा दौडन्छ
एकोहोरो
मानिसहरू, र म
उही हतार पालेर बस्छौँ-मन भित्र
रहर त पालिने जात
जिवन त जिउने जात,
उसै ।

Early life,
It would be one day anyway
How naive they can make you keep
A slave you are -not just black
Not just white;
But a child,it's true.
And you realize,
Luck is nothing in to be here
Or,some gifts like abandoned people
You meet on your way.And
Belongings;
So much you lack within
Family,friends and love above all
A proper synchronization in between
Just like another pause,
Somewhere.
And,
When you live in practice-rather than a philosophy
Life,it would be then
Only.
But it's not like that
These days.

मिल्ने भए..

मिल्ने भए,
म हुन्थेँ कतै
खुशी मनहरू संगै
यहाँ त केवल मन छ
निर्जिव।
न बोल्न खोज्छ
न सुन्न खोज्छ
एक्लिएर,
सोच्छ कती-
रुन्चे म।
उसै त,
चिटिक्क परेका लाग्छन् भित्ताहरूको
रंग फिक्का देख्छु,
अनी
लाग्छ घाम टाँसिएर
बादल लुक्छ आकाशमा
कुरुप बन्छ जग-अनी दिनहरू
हरेक।
एक फन्को मारेर,
कागहरू पनि
झ्यालै छेउ चित्र बन्छन्
बिरक्तिएर
काँ-काँ स्वोरहरू ती
प्रत्यक बिहान
मिल्ने भए....
म हुन्थेँ कतै
खुशी मनहरू संगै
यहाँ त केवल मन छ
निर्जिव ।

Nameless..

I don't have a name you want;it's same old me
With similar naive thoughts.Yet,but let it be
My childhood days;the best I have ever lived
So far.And your magic back then was believed
Not just taken.And you owe me nothing else now
A heart full of sorrow;it's just mine somehow.
Dark is in my head-and no your skin is my face
It's hollow look at me;and bone's stitches to case
All over.From every depth of goodness they could
And trying their best to shape me-and no one would.
Something that kept me nameless;I'd always wanted that
You could never poke my beliefs so sharp.And then what
Would daunt after-A name for a face you gave to be proud
And take me somewhere-'a stranger for an unknown crowd'

~Shashi Raj Pandey

I don't remember at times;I feel
It's all about believing
Above all-deep in my heart
I know that little.
And,
Whenever they will come;good things
In whatever ways no matter
Just lift your hands and get it
You can.
Yes,you can
A believer you are now-
Little children in the uphill
In wonderful colors of joy you dance.
And you don't worry but wonder.
Beautiful!You know it all,
The art of giving.
Hope,happiness-love
And,you always have a big space;
That much in you for all,and
You never care for else.
Nothing.You believe-
Life is a rootless tree,
Gifted from above.

~Shashi Raj Pandey

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.

~Shashi Raj Pandey

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.

~Shashi Raj Pandey

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!
