Kathmandu Monsoon *Haiku*
WHAT IF TIME IS RUNNING OUT? What if time is running out, there's so much I've yet to do see the sunrise in the desert, watch it set from Kathmandu Meditate in Angkor Wat, eat Sushi in Hong Kong its been nearly 40 years now, you think she changed while I was gone Scuba dive the Barrier Reef, go snowboarding and live Make my peace with everyone, because there's nothing to forgive Explore India like locals do, travel on top the train armed with my black umbrella, just in case it starts to rain Pay my parents back for everything, for all the love they shared Find a way to tell them thank you, that does justice to how they cared To show my son how much I love him, and how proud of him I am and how that once scared little boy, has turned into a man. Tell my sister she's the best there is, that I am proud of her and ask for her forgiveness, that I was not the brother she deserved So, what if time is running out, there's so much I haven't done there's one more thing left on my list, to see if you're the one.

What if time is running out...
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 burning cigarette and a cup of coffee My companions again Gloomy day Loud traffic Not a single pretty girl in sight Kathmandu afternoon at its finest Nothing to do but smoke a joint And write this poem My attempt at creativity With a mind under influence Thoughts running wild I could start a religion But I'll just sleep instead.

Gloomy Day
If I were an elephant I know just what I'd do I'd pack my trunk with all my junk And move far from the zoo I'd bring with me my monkey Best friend and sidekick Preston If memory correctly serves me He's a **** at giving directions Cause I'd like to move to Timbuktu Either that or Kathmandu One thing is clear as long as it's not here Any old place will do I'd then open up a doughnut shop Run by Preston the monkey and me Where we would toss sprinkles on top With banana creme in-between We'd be known far and wide for our doughnut delights Oh and fancy schmancy eclairs too Yes if I were an elephant That's exactly what I would do Wouldn't you?

Kathmandu a quaint, romantic name, had wanted to go there now it is a dream. Nepal, this small mountain country often used a golf ball between big countries for purely selfish reasons. Thousands of people killed and classical palaces are reduced dust covering mountain tops as a fog of sadness Cry my lovely I can only offer you friendship. But for the tourists who evacuated on Himalayas’ sacred top. Filling valleys with empty cans of beef and toilet paper flapping in the wind, I have little empathy rich tourists that had to bestride and befoul a holy mountain.

If I was a king of Asia I would give you all the gold there is But I'm not even prince of Persia, all I have is love and dreams Let me show you land of legends, land of honeymoon and rising sun I am not as rich as Ali Baba, but I promise we'll be having fun I'll take you to Bali the gem of Java Sea Then we'll go on to safari a little south of Abu Dhabi I'll take you to Maldives to swim in coral reefs We'll enjoy the sweet papaya on the islands of Pattaya I'll show you lake Baikal, Tibet and Taj Mahal We'll see Macao, Yokohama, Hanoi, Jeddah, Jaipur, Jakarta I'll take you to Dubai, Dushanbe and Mumbai We'll spend some starry nights in yurts near the city of Yakutsk I’ll take you to Tashkent where melons got their scent We will taste all sorts of apples in the city of Almaty I’ll take you to Beirut we'll go nuts on dried fruits And the coffee with vanilla we can try it in Manilla I'll take you to Kashgar to shop at old bazaar Then we'll fly a magic carpet to the markets of Qatar We'll see ruins of Karakorum the old capital of Moguls Then we'll go to Kathmandu and then Karachi and Kabul We'll discover caves with treasures, make three wishes all at once All at once will turn to a fairy tale, like in one and thousand nights Let me show you feast of colors, take you cross the dunes in caravans Even if I don't look like Alladin, I sure know a thing about romance I'll take you to Taipei to see its lovely bay We will sip on Coca Cola on the silky sands of Goa I'll take you to Shanghai where towers touch the sky And the best of architecture we will see in precious Petra We'll go to Ashgabat, Bishkek, Busan, Baghdad We will see Great Wall of China and Cambodian Angkor Wat We'll see the Everest, mount Fuji, Gobi Desert And it's certainly my pleasure to take you all around Asia!

Hello Sumina
somewhere in corner Like roses waiting for dew I wait for your warmth Soaked in rain Your memories run down my spine (Morning Nostalgia) Pashupatinath temple The rain drops on the golden roof the mountain breeze to pacify my soul The life can be beautiful When serenity surrounds to bind us (Afternoon Divinity) Thamel Crying strings, the music of life White smoke in air The sound of cheers Wish the time stopped here (Evening Bliss)

"- To the left of kathmandu -"
How you know him: Gurung’s label, established in 2009, reimagines traditional textiles with a sportswear attitude. January Jones, First Lady Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey have taken memorable turns in his fiery red gowns. What’s new: Gurung is teaming up with Toms this month with exclusive designs to raise funds for Nepal’s recovery from the 2015 earthquake. For each pair of shoes sold, $5 will go to Gurung’s Shikshya Foundation to support education and relief efforts. What does heritage mean to you? When I left Nepal and told people I wanted to be a fashion designer, they thought I was crazy. I didn’t know anyone here. But I still remember coming up to the Midtown Tunnel and seeing all the skyscrapers for the first time, and I finally felt that I was home. I became myself in America, but Nepal gave me my core. The reason I am grounded and pragmatic is simply that I was brought up this way. What was your childhood like there? I was born in Singapore and grew up in Nepal, where I went to an all-boys Catholic school. I was different and made aware of it. It was a challenging time, but I had an incredible relationship with my family that helped me. Trekking became a kind of escape, and I was always inspired by the Patan Museum, near my house. I still go back for the memories attached. How is Nepal reflected in your designs for Toms, and also your foundation work? The ikat pattern is called dhaka, a hand-loomed weave that I wanted to modernize as a digital print. Black, white, and red are very typical of Newari women [from Kathmandu Valley] and my favorite colors, which I used in my first collection. Five years ago, when I started getting all this attention, I started Shikshya with a focus on education as a way to give back. Since the 2015 earthquake, we have raised more than $1 million to help rebuild, but the process is slower than people think, and the world’s attention turns to someplace else. So it’s my job with everything I do to keep awareness alive.Read more at:http://www.marieaustralia.com/long-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/vintage-formal-dresses

Your kiss would do it Just one Is that too much? It's all I've been waiting for All my life The softest touch of your soft lips The feel of your tongue What the universe was made for Your kiss Your lips pressed against mine Ten seconds to define our entire existence Is that too much? Let me slow down Forget the universe Lets rediscover ourselves I belong with you You belong with me And everything else that follows Does that work instead? Now about that kiss I've craved it to a point where I ache for it Is that too much?? Ok then let me come out straight I think we are at a point Where kissing is the only thing Only sane thing that would lead to my insanity Get me drunk enough to be sober again Hear me out love One kiss That's all I ask One kiss to save the world For I might just lose it But if you feel it's impossible Then just say it's too much And I''ll go kiss her instead.

Healing My Broken Heart (10w)
Here we are again Same place And you are starting to haunt me Talking about love lost Love not found But It feels like it's staring at me Like that cat from the other night Like it can see right through me My inside's imploding With an urge An urge to defy our truth The truth that I don't want to believe But again we create our own truth When your lips open to speak All I can think of is my open lips Pressed against yours When you talk about your past All I can do is pretend to care Honestly love I think I am falling for you I wont say forever But for tonight I want you more than this drink Begging me to finish it Or the lines of ******* Be my drug tonight Even if you give a bad hangover I want to get drunk Drinking you All night And pass out in your heaven You can leave in the morning I prefer to watch the sunrise alone.

Goodbye
The world seems strange They wont get what I feel Honestly love, I don’t care I swear this is real Time just flew by But you seem the same to me I’ve fallen for every inch of you Fallen deeper than the deepest sea I wish you were all mine All mine till the end of time You give life to my sad existence This worthless life of mine Please tell me you feel it too The chills to the bone, the highest of highs Your touch could just **** me You kiss could make me fly Please tell me you feel this too I don’t care if it’s just a lie For your touch could light all darkness One touch and I could die.

Feeling The Blues!!
Somewhere in you I see the love I lost Somewhere in you I see the love I've been aching to find Somewhere in you I see myself happy Free from the emotional trauma I go through everyday A release I've been waiting for Somewhere in you lies that touch that could make me forget That the world exists Where people stab each other's back just to be more comfortable Somewhere in you I see salvation A door into heaven where i see myself holding the hand of god While kissing the lips of angels for eternity Somewhere in you I see me loving you With all my heart, caring for you Growing old with you Taking my last breath right next to you Somewhere in you I see a darkness So deep that it frightens me to explore Somewhere in you lies the hell where I know i'll end up Somewhere in you I see my heart destined to break again     A painful journey that I know I'll take again A withered tree refusing to bloom again Somewhere in you is a knife ready to stab me While my heart screams " no more" Please no more I am better off lonely Looking at the stars and reminiscing what could've been Somewhere in you I see a pool of tears That I know you're gonna drown me in While I fight for each breath,  refusing to give up Though I might already be dead Somewhere in you lies my deepest fear that I refuse to face Yet every inch of me craves to be Somewhere in you.

Somewhere In You
A sad tune in an empty bar That's what my life has become People may surround me But I feel alone Being without you Is like being without me I am here but lost somewhere In the days when you were around Now it doesn't even feel like home I am hoping for better days Living in the past I've tried to pick myself up Put back the pieces But I keep falling apart.

Without You
I walk these streets, silent and still, Faces pass by, each chasing their will. No words I offer, no call, no cheer, In their worlds, they dwell—so far, so near. Let them wander where their visions lie, Beneath the same vast Nepali sky. Dreams of theirs I do not intrude, For in my quiet, I find my mood. Am I rude to pass and not engage? Or just a soul, freeing their stage? Each moment they craft, I let it unfold, A mosaic woven in threads untold. Beneath these hills, in Kathmandu's grace, I honor their rhythm, their time, their space. For in this stillness, I see more clear— A bond unspoken, yet ever near. Let their paths shine, let them be, As I journey within, just silently. Nepali hearts, vast and deep, In quiet respect, their space I keep.
