उनी

आज म तिमीलाई उनको कथा भन्छु। 

विचित्र छन् उनी !


को हुन् उनी ?


उनी, जसको लासलाई सिढी बनाएर कदम चालेउ तिमीले,

जसको आदर्शमा टेकी लिपिमा रगत छरेउ तिमीले,

उनी, जसको मर्यादाको चिहानमा आज तिम्रो दरबार उभिएको छ, 

जसको बिनम्र चित्रणमा तिम्रो मपाईंको भोग चढिएको छ। 


उनी, जसका लागि यथार्थले अपराधको मोड लिदैछ,

जसले प्रारब्धमा बनाएको सिसाको महल, 

आज बिहानीको सुर्यको किरण संगसंगै टुट्दैछ।  

टुट्दैछ आज सपना तिम्रो हरेक कदममा।  

कस्तो कदम हो यो तिम्रो ?

सभ्यता नै डगमगाउने !


उनका शब्द शब्दमा झल्किदैछ मानवताप्रतिको गुहार, 

बोल्दा बोल्दै पनि अबोध बन्न पुगिसकेको छ उनको चित्कार, 

"न्याय भोली" को आरम्भमा न्यायको बहिस्कार,

आश्चर्यचकित यो तिम्रो कोमल माटोमा जननीको धिक्कार । 


उनी केवल हाँस्न सक्छन् !


तिमी सोध्छौ उनी किन हास्छन भनी ?


त्यो घब्राहट को मुस्कान हो, 

विजयको बलिदान हो, 

त्यो हार मानेको मानिसको शान हो !


मस्तिस्कमा प्रलयको प्रतिबिम्ब गाँसेर हिँड्छन उनी, 

आफ्ना काला नयनले कालरात्रीको कल्पना गरि बस्छन्।  

सोच्छन उनी, 

सोच्छन कि समय यस्तो आइलाग्यो, 

समय यस्तो आइलाग्यो कि, 

अधिकारभन्दा प्रतिकार सजिलो छ यहाँ, 

गुमसुम मौसमको न्यानो अन्धकार छ यहाँ।  

न्यानो छ, तर अन्धकार छ ! 


उनी केवल हाँस्न सक्छन् !


सभ्यताको भाषाले सत्यको परिभाषा नै बुझ्न छाडे जस्तो, 

मानवताको निराशाले नैतिकताको आशा नै गर्न छाडे जस्तो, 

हास्छन उनी !

उनी हास्छन यो दुविधामा,

उनी मुस्कुराउछन यो सारै नै निर्दोष विधामा।  

उनी केवल दिलासा बोक्छन, 

दिलासा मुमुर्षाको !


तिमी सोध्छौ उनी को हुन् ?


उनी भीष्म हुन् र भस्म हुन्, 

उनी श्री कृष्ण हुन् र हरे कृष्ण हुन्, 

उनी हरण हुन् र मरण हुन्।  


उनी पुरुसत्व हुन्, र नारीत्व पनि, 

उनी भाका हुन् र शब्द पनि, 

उनी किताब पनि हुन्, 

र खिताब पनि हुन्।  


दृष्टिकोणलाइ निखार्दा निखार्दै धमिलियेछ तिम्रो दृष्टि, 

नियालेर हेर, 

उनी तिम्रो वास्तविकता हुन् । 

तिम्रो सौन्दर्य, 

तिम्रो औदार्य, 

अनि तिम्रो नियति !

Submerged

It saw. In the platonic save, rose a rose, embedded with thorns,  shaking the road, breaking the roar, the pigeon screamed of peace, with white feathers— daunting, revealing, veiled with misery, and in the dead liberty. It screamed of peace, and it was shaken, given the nude clothing, cut through the scars, mutilated through the wars and bereaved  like an uncanny grief. Silent it stood, with the obscure of black obstinating  through the core.  And then in the abyss it stayed empty awake, peace was never an option. Yessing, guessing and dressing, sins of hopes, and dreams of hypocrisy, surprisingly wise, sublimely unwise, and when the trigger clicks, the rainfall, colors of transgression, a rainbow of just unjust, disrupts the ever scared sacred breath, just to tell it, the color white always gets the dirt quick! Like the monotonously pierce riot tearing the canvas, a humble silence breaking the crowd, cheers of life, applause of a beginning, the show began. The cage ...

11:11

I feel sad. I feel cold. As if something just ruptured my heart to endless pieces with a stick, I feel empty. Like a bare bottle lying around, like a crumpled sheet of paper, like a worn-out shoe and like the crusty leaf someone just stepped on. It's agonizing, you see, to be this fragile, to be this broken and to be this futile in the grand scheme of things. How could you do this? As the visuals of the car rushing into my bare skin haunts me every single day as I stand uptight, as the shower curtains slowly trap me in their whiteness to make me feel smothered, I don’t know how long someone can hold onto this numbness. But sometimes, yes sometimes, I do feel you, your warmth, the way you could always find happiness in life, and how I am no way between them and am far away hoping to be asleep. Please, let me sleep. I don’t want to do this anymore. There is no more hope left in me now, beloved, no more.  Don't lie to me anymore. Make this over. I’ll never be me again. Please, shu...

Snow

How beautiful is the world outside me! The blue of the morning and the foggy afternoons I crave as I stare at the leafless trees drenched in vast nothingness, holding onto naked branches as they try their best to let go. Nature always has a say in the chaos, in the entropy of life and lifelessness, but it missed the human soul. In those shimmering lights from cars and buses, I see a foreshadowing of my own, with trembling fears and a scarred red, waiting silently for the lights to go green. It snowed, and I could sense that wet feeling of coldness on my skin. For once, I knew what cold feels like when it does not come from within. For once, I knew that there was something colder than me. For once, I wasn’t alone in this coldness, and for once, I felt happy. In the nights without jackets as I walked in the streets waiting for the coldness of the wind, I was reminded that there was lifelessness waiting for me. It was cold, it was what I needed. In those sweet shivers I felt with every br...

I hate sunrise

I remember nothingness as it seized my being into this voodoo doll of cascade of mourning smiles and loud silences. Walking to the mountains, clipping the fingernails with my teeth beside the campfire, the hollow stare at the white snow, the breeze of allegory of the stained flakes that pierced the sunshine the same way the abyss does to me. You see, I have always liked mountains for this scene. You see a sunrise; I see a murder. Who said sunrise was a beginning was perhaps a coward looking for hope. But the reality of existence is one of non-existence: one cannot fathom a sin of not living, and yet he lives a dead life every day. He is rotten with every sunrise. The depth of loneliness he feels in those bright black walls – all shining through his epiphanies and lifelessness – the closed eyes that see life more than the open ones, I am disgusted by everyone who calls darkness horrible. They don’t feel his honesty, they don’t feel his breathing beats and they don’t feel the rusty smile...

Ghost

 I remember the summer night with me on the stairs wishing,  wishing I could let go of you and see you past that door of epiphany, but I stood there holding your arms. I couldn't set you free.  As I look around running cars now,  a trepidation slithers through me. I see you in front of them --- your shallow, hollow figure  caressing the cold with your bare hands, smiling at the unknown and I pass to you --- through you because you look beautiful. Nah, you look happy.  In the rain, as my wet self walks around in its adventure, I see your hope piercing my heart  questioning my silent epitaph and feeling so grotesque.  I lie down, in those desolate muddy roads and cars pass by me, but I am strangely still there.  I see you asking me for a cup of coffee. I see you explaining functions to me.  I see you.  But this happiness that arrives with you,  my dear, I can't take it anymore.  Don't corrupt me, please.
