~Bikram Subba~
Seeing you the first time
It seemed I had found
my lost sun and moon
But you said –
These are my eyes!
My dream had been lost
And even while watching
It seemed I was meeting it in you
But you said –
This is my body! My vastness!!
My music had been lost
Suddenly one day
It seemed I found it in your heart beat
But truthfully, you said –
This is my heart speaking!
In the same way
My happiness had been lost;
It seemed I found it too
entangled in your lips
Again, you said –
This is my smile!
Now what can I say?
What can I think?
Are you the heap of
my priceless possession?
Or are you the small cottage
in my small country?
Tell me
Who are you?
What are you?
– Kathmandu
Poet himself translated this poem from his Nepali Poem.
