Nepalese Royale, with chivalry engraved in every cell of the body.
He tempts me- Mara. He tried and almost tempted the Enlightened one. Mara, he calls himself, Mara that brings death. But so sensually he does so He tempts me He says, almost in rhymes, rhythm that dances like death. The wasteland around the tree of knowledge drops it fruit. He tempts, and tempts again, in snake oil, perhaps snake skin. He tempts me the same. Mara the demon, he is, and he tempts me with flesh of beauty. He tempts me with bearings of promises in bridal purse of his sisters. He tempts out of love, he tempts me to lust. He tempts me all the same. Mara is he, the demon of temptation. But temptation I've begun to love. Tempt me more, Mara. For I've begun to lust for the World and all its giving.

Mara the demon.
The Dutch brought art, mud and dirt of the Kathmandu heartland, With cigarette smoke clouding the air, and pizzas in the oven. Not overcooked, no medium rare, slight rounded, man-made The ambiance was now of Rembrandt and Van Gogh, Yellow with the hint of light. Perhaps coffee, perhaps tea. And delight in a conversation of philosophy. Maybe you'll pay, maybe me. The open doors swallow in the air of the monsoon, with the enigma of ever binding books who stuck to the wall Like wall flowers, some folded papers like petals of an unbloomed bud. They all had smells better inhaled with tobacco smoke. The music played, and people dance within the security of their thoughts, The shelter for their thoughts, the flaws of their speech. Memories,pure and bright radiated from the lamps above the bar, Lights which come to us only in fallen stars, but wishful thinking is dangerous. Hence forget it like Dutch forgot the wars. Memories are made here, where the humidity is heavy from the perfume of heavy smiles, or folded chins and forheads from a chess game. Not hidden, no worries, around the corner. But yet again man made.

At that cafe, Amsterdam
The preacher said, "Bow down before the will of Him who has made you, he knows all, he is everywhere. He is always, he is after and before." The prophet said, "He will redeem you." The alchemist said "By His will all your ailments be gone." The poet asked "Where is HE?" The man asked "Where was he when such befallen me?" The woman asked " Why is my virginity for the giving of men i dont know?" The philosopher said "I'll argue." The doctor said, "Why couldnt i save?" The survivor asked, "Why me?" The dead were silent. And the air whispered in their air, "Even He doesnt know" Reason cried "He is not!" But faith sobbed "Dont let me go." And life simply scoffed "Do whatever."

The conversation
I live i die, im all too human very human, so human ive lost track of what time it is The duration of events between my life and death is it time? is it life? I'm living and clock's ticking all the same, so humanly same time has value, like its money time is valuable, some formulae told me time is money, and we run according to it so human, so humanly insane.

Time is not real
If we are completely limited to the mind, the body and are questioning whether we have a soul than we cannot quietly tell the others how we are, by what we are But we can commune silently, where everything vile is out of the darkness within, or the vacant feelings we feel. How are we, by what we be Some exist while some just endure very less live in the present, and mos people rift in waves, drown in the past or make dams for the future for "Me, My and Mine" How we are by where we live in the time frame How I am, how are you? If i am being me than so are you. Are you me? Or me that you are is you Our name's declined us of our commune. Otherwise, How we are, is by how we become

How we are
You cannot tell a word to its meaning until it is felt in to the brain, and turned into sound. Only to make it more worse we say things we should hear, instead. Like "thank you"s and "sorry"s The oceans are, if not, the wails in words of the earth alone. Perhaps explosions of asteroids in far space are just wails of the universe. Wails, sobs and cries Are words only to describe But the question stands and might be unanswered are words hollow or are they weighted?

Wails,Sobs and cries
She gave me gloves. Sapphire lets call her I loved how she would roll her eyes close whenever i swore louder or when i- being in the mood of being an arrogant snob Told me to be, mean and so vicious But Lady Sapphire is kind as the depth of the ocean and nice as the sugar and spice of a confused fangirl, Who i believe is precious as the rock i name her from

Sapphire Gloves
Dorsovertical is what my head is in, contradicted to each other like the ocean between us But you cheer me up being the beautiful soul you are. I dont see how the the rainstorms in the New World are, but i sure know if its your eyes that see it, then its all beautiful We went walking in the rain, the sun grass, mud and gravel rocks and sometimes pavements But in that fog of the morning here and that of the mid day there We're lost to be found everyday im glad we still talk I know you dont like to be written about by me, at least please know though that i need you to stay, so slowly the melancholy of the day disappears I need you to stay, in my words

Seperation,Sunshine, storms
Can you not? Why do you ask me how my day was when days are short this season, and you dont know how my answers swings around your head and winds me up in your dreams And you would tell me about yours, but Simrik i can swear to you I want to be a part of your Camu jacket, in the cluster of your combat pattern so it could be never washed away from it except from your tears Can you not ask me why? Because the swinging of answers will roam around and keep you again in four walls of solitude

Lovie do
I can bleed a poem, from the compass blades i cut through my skins for for directions unknown For the life lived in an inertia is better than to feel and react. The hysteria of the mind is too violent to me and all on my part i can do is bleed in words Because if nature abhors a vacuum, like science says in between that space must be letters and sentences that rhyme there might have been poetry sublime And we can scribble them down on the paper Or we simply can bleed
