Dr. Bidur P. Chaulagain, Kathmandu
I keep moon inside my bowl
I put water
full to rim
in a bowl
then illusioned moon
came into
inside my bowl
and then I covered
the bowl with a lid
to not the fickle moon
run away
now
putting the bowl with moon
in my bedside
in my room
I can stay
with her together
but for how long?
until —
the water in the bowl
taming her
not being bored
for itself
then after
leaving the moon alone
inside the skull
the thinking of mind
escapes out !
Spreading illusion-step by step
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
to create ripples
around your life
in this way…
love flourishes
in this tiny world
spreading
illusion
step by step
from person to person
unifying us.
an imagery call
Oh!
Poetess!
while reading you,
I see you as like
you are a fragile night jasmine
and its inherent fragrance descended
right from the heaven
but this joy too
sublimates
in no time
leaving
me
in pain
to think often
to look at moon
how do you landed and stayed
for so long in this earth
with an imagery call
by a human
just with
a poem
of
mine ?
poetry on you: a screenshot
poetry
on you
for other to read
an imagery,
for you
an encroachment
by me,
but
for me
a screenshot
of you
for other
by retina
for you
cataract
on my eyes
for me
inside out
of my
heart.
