Deepak Dhakal
Image
Who said
The mirror reflects the reality in front
As it is, with no distortion?
Who said
Water reflects
The countenance of nature herself?
It has been years
I have not seen in crystal clear tears
The image of own countenance!
***
Dimensions
I was always dismayed
Seeing the gradual corrosion
Of the limits of my honor!
The thorns are living a life
Much longer than that of flowers
Merely because
They have dimensions and beauty
Much lesser than those of the flowers.
***
The Dazed Sky
She said
You are the sky; I the earth!
Indissoluble is our love
What though the fog, at times, bars our ways.
I, a fool, gazed out as the sky
At the moon revolving round the earth
And the earth, around the sun
In utter silence like the sky.
