Ode to Kathmandu

-

This painting in Acrylic (size 24”X18”) is an ode to Kathmandu and also an interpretation of the poem "The Green Eye Of The Little Yellow God" a 1911 poem by J. Milton Hayes

..................

There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu,

There's a little marble cross below the town;

There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,

And the Yellow God forever gazes down.

Lost Traveler

-
As the sun sighs and slowly disappears, Smoke swirls and heavy smell of the weed, Recollecting a thousand lies and fate of time, To be forgotten with finished glasses of wine. Often, marred by the roads less traveled, Always, d iseased by fortunes misconstrued, He lives a life that doesn't exist, not even real, And drifts in silence, in a world so cold and lost. Confused over why he travelled all way till here, Whether to draw a smile or maybe drops of tear, Mistakes he has made plenty, including loving you, However hard he tries, forgiveness is always on due. Blurred ahead, but cleaner mark of where he had been, Fear runs down the spine, if he thinks of going back again, But he is not dead yet and he is not in the ground, Just a lost traveler, a lost traveler down that lost highway. .........counting the days but never to be found again! .........counting the days but never to be found again!! .........counting the days but never to be

Lost Love

“I don’t love you the way I did some weeks ago that's true.” Marinha typed her message. “I’ve kinda had this feeling… and was having the fear that I‘d lose you soon” Stephen replied with a heavy heart. “But….… I don’t mean…” “Ok, things aren’t going fine and this distance isn’t helping us either. Lets end every hope but lets be friends” “Ummmm… I mean I didn’t stop loving you and you're saying: ok now friends ” “....coz I know its decreasing... why would you spare little love for me?” “Coz I know how good it was before. And I still wanna hold you” “Dear, I know it’s troubling you now. But soon things will be fine. And moreover, I promise you I will always be there for you whenever you want me. It’s being really hard for me, but still I want things to be the way it makes you happy. And in your happiness I will find happiness for me . Soon you will find someone much better than me. Don’t spare little love for me. Give all your love to him and I’m sure he will give u all his love.

A moment

A walk into the trees, enjoying the song of the bees Tap foot with chirping of birds and rustling of leaves Smiling the way the flowers bloom when sun shines A moment to forget the poor life full of care and tears Lie down on the meadows looking at the clear sky Feeling free as birds when I see a flock pass by Clouds appear to make faces of all people whom I love A moment to forget the poor life full of pain and goodbye Enjoying the games children play with laughter full of cheers Mother’s love in the cuddle, when one falls and breaks into tears Purest of all relations, nothing to ask for nothing to take A moment to forget the poor life full of compromises to make I find moment to appreciate a smile that begins in eyes Heart can feel warmth of love in hugs full of friendly ties Blissful stare in the reminiscences that turns into a long gaze A moment to forget the poor life full of twist and awful mazes A moment to forget the poor life full of twist and awful mazes! A moment to forg
