Aman Basnet Poems

The Flower I Never Plucked

I saw her flowing hair
moving softly with the wind—
...

He was warmth in the freezing cold.
He was like a shade under the scorching sun.

He walked like morning light—
...

I heard you live beyond Earth,
I want to share a glance after rebirth.
Maybe there are many divine there,
But I think you are the most amazing and rare.
...

I woke as something I had never been,
With fragile wings and feathers washed in pink,
The sky was wide, the water standing still,
But something in my chest refused to heal.
...

Wake up as fragile seed
Violence hums beneath the ground
Even when heaven shines I get hurt
It was suffering to get through dark
...

Silent coast in endless sea
Wanting to flee Away from this sea, searching thee.
Who? The inner voice of me.
The endless storms made spirit suffer
...

The night was dull
until they arrived—
small lanterns breathing
in the grass.
...

Working hard though no result.
I am a bird pursuing it
With feathers as fragile
As paper.
...

Selfless love

Heaven blooms with countless flowers,
Their fragrance drifts like whispered prayers.
...

कससँग दाँजूँ तिमीलाई म?
चन्द्रमासँग कि स्वर्गका तारासँग?
तर तिमी उभिँदा नीलो आकाशमुनि,
चन्द्रमाको उज्यालो पनि
...
