Some of my poems have been published in Nepali Nepali magazines. Recently, some of my poems have also been published from Vietnam. I am preparing to publish a collection of Nepali poems after some time.

FIRE

Once upon a time, our love
was like a river.
We both were flowing together;
for so long,
we both had been like water!

But today,
You burnt our love.
You are no longer like water,
nor like a fire,
you escaped untouched
But I have been burnt
not for once, but twice.
At first by the fire of departure,
and then, by sprinkling the lamp oil on my own!

The Red

You always disliked it; the RED color
I found out later,
you had always disliked
those red roses of valentines.

I wrote to you with my blood.
You disliked those red love letters.
You even disliked the red sindoor,
I had brought to adorn you.

One day
You, caught in an accident;
were in need of blood.
After your relatives’ refusal,
how come you accepted my blood?
How did you like your colorful life
survived with my blood?
After all, that too was RED in color!
