Mismatched socks

Image
We had always known that  even though our shadows looked similar  when we look at it We are different from every aspect still trying to match desperately, Like Ying and Yang The black and white, We tried to complement each other rather than trying to look for substitution, You know how we read about the effects of it And were always okay to try to fit Because it felt perfect. But now that the colors are fading, How we expected the black one would just fade to white, And we would be of the same shade But when the turning came, the white one turned in to darker one with time, The two whites would have shed the color in both's life But both growing darker only eliminated all the sources of light Only to prove, We have been the mismatched socks, all along That can be together, But cannot be worn at once. But do you wanna still try to fit and create a new fashion trend? I'm all u...

काठमाडौँ - मेरो पहिलो प्रेम

Image
काठमाडौ, म जन्मेको सहर, जसको मुटुको ढुकढुकी म मेरो मुटुमा सुन्छु, त्यो उस्तै छैन आजकल, अनि म गुनासो गर्छु, के भयो मेरो काठमाडौ लाई । काठमाडौं मेरो पहिलो माया, त्यो पहिलो माया जुन कसैले मुटु बाट मेट्न सक्दैन, जुन कयौं प्रेम पछि पनि मन मस्तिष्क को सम्झनामा बाँचिरहन्छ, जुन आफ्नो नाम याद नहुँदा समेत याद रहन्छ। म उसको कुना काप्चा मा प्रेमी हरु ले हात समाए झैं हिँड्थे जस्तै मन मा कुनै डर थियो यी हात छुट्ला भनेर, जस्तै लाग्थ्यो की यो साथ टूट्ला भनेर किनकि उसको साथ कहिले देखि थियो भन्न नसकिने गरेर पुरानो थियो, जब साथी भन्ने शब्दको अर्थ समेत थाहा थिएन, तब देखि काठमाडौ मेरो साथी थियो। चाहे दुःख होस् चाहे सुखमा । अरु कोही साथी भन्ने नहुँदा, म बसेको ठाउँ मा ऊ परेवा पठाउँथ्यो, अनि म हेर्थेँ ती साना तर कहिले नभरिने पेटमा दाना भरेको, ऊ हावालाई पठाउँथ्यो, सायद उसलाई मेरो कपाल उडेको हेर्न मन लाग्थ्यो। काठमाडौँ को मायालु धेरै थिए, छन् पनि, ऊ त सबैको पहिलो नजरको प्रेम तर मेरो लागि यसरी थियो की लाग्थ्यो ऊ मेर...

Depression: Synonym of your shadow

Image
Black, dark, Hanging onto you  whenever there is even a little light in your life, I make sure to be there. Seen, unseen, People either see me and ignore Or don’t see at all, But I make sure to tag along Front, back, sideways I be wherever I can, Holding on to you Like you are my master But I’m the ruler You’re my source And I suck the life outta you like a parasite. Outdoors, indoors, I hover around you And you barely manage to push me away I know you tried. Happiness, sadness, I love to linger and tap you time to time Especially when you are laughing the loudest, I invite my best friend "anxiety" in and party playing the string of your nerves Feed on your happiness And get drunk on your soul It is my favorite booze. Known, unknown, I know you know me as a synonym of your shadow, That follows you around everywhere you go, And people i...
