I was lost and knew not the way back,
Knew not even, where I was,

And I was trapped in a pit.
I could see no […]

शायद यादहरु फोसिलहुन्

समयको,

मस्तिस्कको कुनाकाप्चामा

लुकेर बसेका फोसिल,

शायद फोसिलहरु सपनासङ्गै

ecdysin र juvenile hormone

उत्पादन गर्ने कारखाना पनि हुन,
जिन्दग […]

कहिले आउँछौ ? प्रश्न

ए ! मरुभूमिमा

ऊँट चराउदा चराउँदै

ऊँट जस्तै भएका छोराहरु !

ए! विदेशीका कामेच्छित नजरले

घोचिदा घोचिदै

आँसूले बलात्कृत भएका छोरीहरु !

तिमीले पठाएक […]

It’s been a while,
every night feels the same,
Metaphorically speaking, it’s like the pages of a notebook,
exactly replicated.
What differs are those little spots and marks,
on some pages there is more and in […]

I don’t wish to tame your free soul.
You need not complete me.
Just walk by my side,
we shall discover the enigma of the skipping beat,
and search for the cause of the Adrenaline rush.

Just walk by my […]

There are a number of names people use to mention him, “Mental”, “Thhiss”, “Pagal” and even “Baula”. I remember seeing him walk around like a sane person before, but now he’s changed.

The girl with a mask on
People often misunderstood her for
any other normal girl
but she was different.
She put on a mask
that would fool everyone,
except for her own self.
She neither put on […]

One eventful morning, I was getting ready to go to the hospital for a regular check-up. It wasn’t until I reached the hospital, that I found out that my doctor would be arriving an hour late. I couldn’t go hom […]

His love was a lie
I dressed in red,
added colors to my lips,
did my hair right,
and walked miles to him
Yes once again I tried
and yet again he lied.
He looked at me
didn’t find me pretty

To you,
with an enduring love,
 
Right now, I am not being able to sleep. I can feel my belly churning. It seems like my ovary is high today(haha). The pimples on my face are giving me some extra pain, […]

If I die today.
I would fade away like those petals
which fall away as the winter embarks,
my makeup would switch its color
like those leaves as the autumn starts.
My body would be as cold as the chilled […]

Circling in an abyss, with what seems forever; a constant loop of thoughts and emotions; it’s as if we’re screaming at the top of our lungs yet the muffled voice reaching nowhere. Lying in bed, eyes wide open, sta […]

The Battlefield

Yet again,
The fire in me has died a little.

I felt like a very small matter.
Something that occupied space
And had mass.
That was the only matter I could […]
