Fewa in A Mug of Coffee
A moment on the Cyber Café at Fewa Lake
1.
In the Mug of the Fewa Lake
Reflecting the pure blueness of the sky
With the fluttering of the Fishtail
My eyes sparkle with
The taste of organic coffee
That chills my throat
By the tranquil and serene Fishtail
My whole heart at ease
In a mug of coffee.
2.
Faraway in the foothill
A heavenly village
Of the stone houses in row
From the black slated rooftops
Pours the rains of golden rays
By the blushing evening
My tender lips taste
The beauty of village green
Into mellifluous nectar
In a mug of coffee.
3.
From the field of greenery
Resonates the incredible laughter
Of the village girls
With the flocks of sheep
Back to their village homes
Reveals their enticing beauties
This dusky moment creates
The heartthrob of the village
As an allegory of folk song
In a mug of coffee.
4.
On the west side of Fewa Lake
In harmony with the Eve
A charming couple, newly married
Inebriated in ardor and fervor
Cruises on a wooden boat
Into the waters of the Fewa lake
With dancing rudders itch
The ripple and surge of
Foamy and bubbly love
In a mug of coffee.
5
Around the Annapurna range
Tiny airplanes
Like the white butterflies
Fluttering in the air
The corneas of the eyes
Kiss the tops of the Himalayas
In the Annapurna ranges
Perceive the gesture with
Miracle and marvel
In a mug of coffee.
6
In the lucid and clear gloom
Before the breaking of dawn
The Eyes of the Sarangkot
Grasp the Himalaya ranges
Glowing like the blaze
Of the golden mountains
My beholding eyes in awe!
As the sun rises up the East
The Himalayas resume
Its splendor into silvery beauty
In a mug of coffee.
7
Like the fairy in Fairy tales
With imitated wings
My beloved glides high
From the lofty height of Sarankot
Her eyes scribble the poetry –
Serenity of Fewa,
Tranquility of Fishtail
Vivacity of Pokhara,
The visitors in bliss
On the verge of Fewa lake I’m
Waiting for her to land
The metaphor tastes sugary
In a mug of coffee.
8
The Raniban hills
In the south of the Fewa lake
My fatigued legs
Ascend the stone paths
To the top of the Raniban hill
The Raniban Resort
Silence of nowhere
Quiet, still and calm
As if living in another planet
With hot frothy black coffee
In a mug of coffee.
9.
Hanging from the sky
Thrives atop the Raniban
The blooming Garden
Enjoying the amazing Evening,
The unannounced rain shower
The essence of my body
So cool and weary,
Desires the tepid and balmy
Black coffee that springs into
The warmth over my body
In a mug of coffee.
10
From the top of the resort
My eyes glimpse beneath
Serene and calm Mug of Fewa lake
Tranquil and quite Sarankot
Emerald green Raniban
Surroundings of
So many hilltops
Of green and greeneries
My body enlightens itself too
Into hill of greenery
As the sky darkens
Intense black is the coffee
In a mug of coffee.
11
All my belonging left
In a city lodge,
Only me and my beloved
Only with unspoken word
Like the simile and metaphor
My poetry of love
Warm embrace
In a lone room
Of the Raniban resort
The essence of passion spills over
In a mug of coffee.
