Before Me

Many a poets have described 

This memory of a reflected crimson escaping eyes 

And bouncing off a breezy silk

I couldn't tell more

The difference of a sunset and those eyes

But why should I

They have far too much of it.


If you would listen, 

I know of this lush cave 

With forgotten English ivy 

Suspended like a fragile twine 

But mistrust me less

I have never dwelled more.


And you see this turquoise water 

A stranger once wrote

'Turquiose is a sadder blue'

But,

Did he ever see this?

Woe to woo.


But I might be unjust 

To this fairness I graced 

My eyes might have betrayed 

Hitherto this beauty

You could see more.

  "Sustainability Starts at Home." Sustainability Starts at Home Small Changes, Big Impacts Plastic bags were a questionably interesting replacement for the shuttlecock kicking game when I was a kid. That was what I played with during the cold months of winter, when the growth of clovers was null for a bundle formation. I remember snitching up on some plastic bags from the kitchen– plenty of them were washed and stored in a basket, as in every typical Bhutanese household. As a kid, I was baffled as to why my mother did not spare me a single one, which I had to secretly rummage through when she was not around. At the end of a tiring play, the ragged piece of plastic would wordlessly fly away, carried by the currents of the wind. That was one day, when I learned from her, “Sustainability starts at home.” As individuals, many of us are oblivious to the ecological footprint we create. The impact of one’s lifestyle on the curve of sustainability seems obscure on a personal level– ...

The Vermillion Windowpane

Her hair breathed the color of his love His love a bloody red Stubborn it remains On this window sill of roses Unscathed it seems of its past But she waits  Behind the vermillion window pane Feeling the traces of his finger In the dust  She waits  But she knows That a man once left for war Can only gift the color of his love And no more His love a dauntless red Perhaps,  He might return Through this vermillion window pane .

Every Man is Still a Child

The apricity caught my breath   like his gloomy grin  That unfurls like a cotton ball  Soft to touch  But leaden with moments of  An unforgetful past   He smells the flowers along the way  Only to pluck one and say  If it was any justice he did  I say,  It's not wrong to love that way  Because even clouds do surrender  He feels this rain on his lashes  And bends down to look  At his image in the mud  He almost jumps but considers  'Lost', he says,  I say that's okay  Every man is still a child.
