Rajesh Gurung Poems

Spare me your affected affections
Your stunted philosophies
Wipe that shallow smile
Off your façade
...

A river ran through
this valley once
giver of life
A cherry tree
...

The waves carry me
A log at the sea’s mercy
Will I ever reach the shore
And see it once more?
...

Stepping out into the silvery darkness
A chill wind made a big effort in vain
to still my bursting heart into calmness
which maddened at the thought of her again
...

I have demons battling
With angels
Who is winning
I cannot tell
...

'That's the ursa minor',
my friend points at a group of stars
'and that's the ursa major',
pointing to another group not far
...

Caged wings
I hear the flutter
Of its wings, caged
In a cage of matter
...

Do you look up into the rain
Close your eyes and let the strips
Of clear drops brush your soft skin
like a thousand fingertips?
...

I wish i could turn a deaf ear
to everything i hear
turn a blind eye
to what passes me by
...

My friend falls
hit by an enemy’s bullet
Crying out my name as he stalls
to a lifeless wreck
...
