Swings
Samjhana 1990 (Kathmandu)
Swaying temperament
Harbouring infinite possibilities
Clinging on something immensely
Or letting go so easily
Sometimes
Out of world
Happy and sane
Sometimes
Upset and insane
One starts everything
Knowing it will end
One arrives somewhere
Knowing essence to leave
Causing pain that never heal
Hailing something that never appease
Smile and tears
Warm hi and empty goodbyes
Everything and anything
Crossing paths undeniable
Self loving or loathing
With a reason persisting
