Bidur P Chaulagain
Gift on your birthday
on your upcoming birthday
that I am sending is
just a bunch of flower
to return back
exactly the same gift
that you have sent to me
but with few additions
of insects and,
a few thorns
to make you believe
the fragrance,
the beauty,
and the firmness
of flower bouquet
what it should naturally be —
I am sending you
this intact flower
that able to rapture
your stony heart too
for thanks to be
given to you
for your bouquet
that was in due
for your great care
but, those flowers you send
were with no niche to live insects
probably eradicated by pesticides
sprayed by you
and, those thorns in roses
that is the integral
part of that a rose flower
were also missing
probably, were taken out
by artificial selections
Now, I am sending
a birthday gift to you-
a bunch of wild roses
of a wild variety
with a few thorns
and a few insects intact
that will kiss you
to make you aware, and
to know by yourself
on your birthday
to remind
how lovely are you!
spreading illusion person to person
one mistake I did
throwing a stone
in the calm pond
inside your heart
another mistake
you did
by absorbing
the misdeed
letting the stone
go inside deep
to create ripples
around your life
in this way…
our love flourished
in our tiny world
spreading illusion
step by step —
person to person
a workshop at a local teashop
in a morning workshop
at the local tea shop
they discuss for what they did
on last night
with their sweetheart
then all fellow males came
to a common ground
and draw conclusion
regarding their sweethearts —
the love hormones and enzyme
on which they live in
denatured easily
within a blink
of heated debate
and become sour
in no time
and it is very difficult
for them
to renature back again!
