I never know how much I know you
I never know how much I feel you
It is all you inside me
Can’t think anything except you
Everywhere is  you  this is all about you
Looking thorough your eyes      
The feelings
Don’t let the feelings end
The feelings of everything inside your eyes
Looking through your eyes 
Listening to you
Better than listening to music […]

sing little bird,
tell me your story
i’ll write it down
before you get buried
the words i write
will forever speak
of your long lost soul
and withered beauty
sing little bird,
forget the bars
weep away
the unshed tears
your mind,
they cannot encage
sing little bird
don’t turn your face
sing little bird
chirp away your wounds
the sky is your limit
don’t look at the ground
one by one,
open up your […]

Gone
Pestilence plagues the realm of man
Disease spreads wings across the land
Famine rides wild, extinction is at hand
The hand of doom on our graves pours sand
None of this matters to me
All that matters is that she’s gone
Spring arrives in the grandest fashion
Young hearts rustle with temptation
With petals that bloom love comes around
Birds of heaven of delight […]

माया नै मायाको ओईरो बिचमा
अभाब तिमीले देख्यौ कहाँ?
बरु आफु रित्तिदिन्थेँ
तिमीलाई भरिदिन्थेँ।
.
कदम कदमको मेरो साथमा
अन्धकार तिमीले देख्यौ कहाँ?
बरु आफु जलिदिन्थेँ
तिमीलाई प्रकाश छरिदिन्थेँ।
.
जनम जनमको माया पोख्दा
दु:ख तिमीले देख्यौ कहाँ?
बरु आफु आशु पिउथेँ
तिमीलाई खुशी दीइ जिउथेँ।

Without you
Once I ruled the depths of the seven seas
My soldiers marched all across the land
My words were sacred, they were written in stone
The staff of tyranny forever in my hand
Powers conspired to bring me to my knees
On some fateful day I ran into you
The love that you gave cured me of my ills
Beheld the […]

The very last in my moronic series of “bhangeri” poems.
To a distant life soon you will go
Deep into oblivion as far as I know
I write these lines for closure I need
For I am inept at saying godspeed
As you sail through life with the one you love
Know that you are all that I will be thinking […]

At the break of the dawn; when the dews were still tinkling;Carried away by the chill breeze, it flew to me, to be always mine.Had I been hit by the Cupid? Or was it the Beautiful Dawn?Forgive me my weakness; I couldn’t resist that “Carefree Smile”.
A Moment to Treasure, the safest place I found was […]

बिरक्तिएको जिन्दगी अब कती बिरक्तिने होखै मलाई के थाहा कहाँ गएर टुङिने होआसै आसको जिन्दगी आसै आश मा बित्ने भोरोदन आसु नै भो कथा मेरो जिन्दगी को
हाँसो खोज्न हिंडेथे रोदन मेरो साथी भोखै कस्लाई सुनाउ बेदना द्रब्य नै माथि भोउत्तदायित्व छरे, कर्तव्य छरे, छरे बिउ शान्ती कोतर पनि उराठ छ जिन्दगी यसमा दोशी को?
मरभुमी तुल्य […]

सबै भन्छन आयो आयो तर म आको मलाई नै थाहा छैन ।मलाई घुमिफिरी ल्याइदै छ तिमी बिचरालाई वास्ता नै छैन ।यो म हो र ? यो त सिर्फ प्रतिबिम्ब होम त अझै परै छु, अस्तित्व म नै प्रस्नचिन्ह भो ।
म त आउन खोज्दै थिए, तर मलाई गुमराह पारीयो ।मेरो नाम गरी दोसल्ला सम्मान अरुलाई नै […]

ए चन्द्रमा तिमी आजै मेरो देश जाउ
मेरा सारा आफन्तको खबर बोकी ल्याउ
मेरा बाबा मलाई सम्झी चुपचाप बस्दा होलान्
ती आमाका आँखाबाट आँसुधारा खस्दा होलान्
खुशी छु म मेरो सन्देश तिमीले पुर् याउ
ए चन्द्रमा तिमी आजै मेरो देश जाउ
तिहार आयो, मेरो भाइ मलाई नै सोच्दै होला
निधार खाली हुने सोची मन घोच्दै होला
आशिर्वाद छ टाढैबाट यही सम्झाउ
ए चन्द्रमा तिमी […]

विदेशीले सोधे मलाई ” तिम्रो देश कहाँ छ ?”
मख्ख पर्दै भनें मैले सगरमाथा जहाँ छ
उनले सोधे फेरि मलाई “कस्तो छ त्यो ठाउँ ?”
मैले भनें ” रमाईलो छ, नेपाल हो नाउँ
हामी आफ्नो देशलाई मातातुल्य ठान्छौं
आमालाई चाहिं हामी भगवान नै मान्छौं
स्वेत दन्त देखाइ देश मुसुक्क मुस्काउँछिन्
झरना, छाँगा, छहराका गरगहना लाउँछिन्
फूलबारी यो हो माया मात्र […]

The City of Angels lost for eternity,
A mock for Aadi Kabi’s hallowed Alkapuri.
The City of Angels gone astray.
 
Gone are the days of harmonious milieu
Times when angels glided with the cool breeze;
The aroma of fresh leaves and flowers;
The blushing eastern sky at the sunrise.
I seek the paradise in the mirage of my reverie;
of vivid landscape […]

 
Ayush Adhikari
The wheels on the bus go
Round and round and round
The wheels on the bus go
Round and round. All day long.
 
The horns on the bus go bip
Bip bip bip bip bip bip
The horns on the bus go bip
Bip. All day long.
 
The people on the bus go up
And down up and down up […]

Dark clouds of vanity,
engulfing me slowly;
horizon of soberness,
constricting - stifling …
am i sane?
.
My vision of clarity,
blanketed -
by subtle obsession
i take a plunge  [into the void]
am i lost?
.
Drowning in my sorrows,
i’d invited,
that rained on me [heavily];
my only desire…
escape!
 .
This fodder of humanity,
i’d taken,
when i came in -
is choking me badly…
Help!!

The clock ticks nine and I head for the window
Another hopeful day, hopefully
Thuds of approaching footsteps down below
See her crossing the road skillfully
 
 
Jeans and top: the usual cosmopolitan expression
Cascading rivers of burgundy on top
Subtle traces of burnt sienna in her complexion
Arrested by beauty, my senses get locked up
 
 
Hellos of varying decibels compete within
Unable to surface […]
