Medha Upreti Poems

June's birth flower, the honeysuckle,
has bloomed near the fence.
Fragrance of the blossom,
is a flirtatious tease.
...

A butterfly flew nearer.
With no intention of scaring it,
I sat still, breathing slowly.
It flew directly at me,
...

खाली थियो जमीन
बर्खायाम को समय
निरन्तर पानी पर्‍यो
पानी निकास हुने ठाउँ थिएन
...

On Saturday
trespassing upon a
Hibiscus' radiance
...

Daisy and Sweet Pea -
beauty, innocence, love, purity
April's birth flowers.
...

The white flower blossoms
catch my eye.
The green leaves
are soothing to the eye.
...

खुल्ला सफा निला आकाशमा उड्ने चरी म
रीतुहरुसँग रमाउने परी म
फुलकै नजिक नाच्ने मौरी म
कालो रातमा मधुर बत्ती बल्ने जुन्किरी म
...

आज मितीनीसँग
धेरै दिन बाद भेट भयो ।
उहालाई चिया सारै मन पर्छ ।
चिया पिउन फोन गरेरै बोलाए।
...

'Thulo Mama', as I loved to call you,
My dearest mother's eldest brother,
You were the heart and soul
Of one branch of the Mainali clan,
...

speak first
speak last
speak it soft
speak it loud
...
