अनुत्तरित

 केही अन्त्य अनुत्तरित

प्रश्न आफ्नै
जवाफ आफैँ बन्नुपर्ने
जवाफदेही नहुने रहेछ
कोहि यहाँ कसैको लागि
किन?
कोट्याइरहन्छ सधैँ
हजारौँ अन्य प्रश्नभन्दा
उत्तर उति नै जटिल
म खनिरहन्छु यादका सुरुङहरु
किन? किन? बर्बराउँदै
जति नजिक पुग्छु तर
अन्धकार पाउँछु उति
काँप्तछु अनि
के म साँच्चै चाहन्छु त्यो अन्त्यमा पुग्न?
कुन्नी!
जति जति खोज्दैछु त्यसलाई
भाग्दैछु उति नै अझ
कि डराउँछु अन्तमा कतै सत्य भेटिएलान्
ती सत्य जो म सुन्न चाहन्नँ
वा ती जो म मान्न चाहन्नँ
कि डराउँछु अन्त्य कतै
अन्त्य नै हुने हो
भावनाका
प्रश्नका सियोमा पिरोलेर अझै सँगालिरहेका
कतै बगाइ जाला जवाफका बाढीले
र त अर्को एउटा प्रश्न म आफैँ नदेखेझैँ
नसुनेझैँ हिँड्छु,
अनुत्तरित
के त्यो उत्तर तिमिसँग छ
वा मभित्र नै कतै?

The Jack of All Trades

I was told I could be good at anything not warned it meant average at everything People grow up, may be I grew down on every chessboard but as a pawn Being born a cluster of potential meant so much more for me to waste The rising star they all looked up to who fell shooting down in a haste There were so many boats to ride I put my feet in all but heart in none Shuffling again and again to find the same Jack of all trades, master of none. I had this picture perfect idea of me painted gold with every medal I landed every teacher and fortune teller so sure a future set in stone waiting to be handed I was my full-marks and my first prizes my monitor badges and assembly applauses my jumping years and too good for my peers my school songs and their genuine cheers my dance rehearsals, the needles and threads my poems and speeches turning heads my raising hands and stunned teachers my voice familiar with the speakers. Now I am this collage of embarrassments everyday reminded to make amendments...

भुगोलले नछुट्टाएका मन!

आज उही बिदाको दिन जसको पर्खाइमा हप्ताका बाँकी दिन कटाउँछु म । पढाइ र प्रोजेक्टको पन्जाबाट मुक्त भएर  दिनभर यसैगरी यो शहरलाइ झ्यालछेउ उभिएर नियालिरहने दिन । अग्लाअग्ला भवनका बिचमा हुरिसङ कुस्ती खेलिरहेका नरिवलका पात हार्दै, ठक्कर खाँदै मेरो झ्यालका सिसामा ठोक्किन पुग्छन्, अनि म सुनिरहन्छु तिनमा कुनै मिठो धुन भेटे झैं । टाढा टाढासम्म नरिवलका रुख, केही पर नेटवर्कका अग्ला टावर अनि पार्श्वमा धमीला निला पहाड। मान्छेको होहल्ला भन्दा काग कराएको प्रष्ट सुनिने, ओहो! विकसित भएर पनि कति शान्त छ सलेम शहर! आफ्नो देशभन्दा धेरै टाढा, दक्षिण भारतको यो शहरमा जिवनको बाटो खोज्दैछु म। इन्जिनियरिङले सास फेर्न दिएको समयमा सम्झने गर्छु घर-परिवार र देश, आखिर एकदिन डिग्रीसहित फर्कनु जो छ। तर देश यति व्यस्त छ कि अरु कैयौँ  युवालाइ झैँ बिर्सिएकै होला मलाइ पनि। भुकम्प, नाकाबन्दी, राजनीती, युद्ध , केही न केहिले सताइरहने मेरो देशलाइ फुर्सद होस् पनि कसरी! अहिले पनि देश र मधेसको विवाद चल्दैछ रे! जब यो शहरलाइ हेर्छु, हिन्दी बोलेको नरुचाउने, हिन्दी चलचित्र नचल्ने, आफैँमा रमाइरहेको यो दक्षिण भारतलाइ हेर्छु, ड...

A cheesy poem

  You say you can't write poems about love About happiness, devoid of hurt but is it really that you cannot or that they never hit you hard enough. You've never written about starry skies but so many with watery eyes Always with a pen in the lows and never once so in the highs. It was never something you could not feel but writing it down would make it real. Maybe that would shield you for good But the end always hit as hard as it should. So you never wrote about your smiles In your theatre of memories, those blissful aisles but everytime you bled and shed you scribbled and went on for miles and miles. And though it begins so cliche with all these rhymes And will only get cheesier with the following lines I hope we're both patient with this one because today I wish to write about good times. Today all I did was exist and yet he looked at me like I won a nobel prize Today all I did was something dumb and yet he talked to me like I was the smartest pers...
