Tune at a Glance – Poetry from Nepal

Art is a festival
It is a divinity at joy.
I play this tune
To sacrifice a disharmony.

Tune at a Glance
A second glance
Is not a mistake
If the look is not wasted.
I keep along
The watchtower
By my side.
I read your eyes
By the stream
The water tasted divine.
Come close
Or I will have to go.
Wake me up
When you leave,
I shall send you an invitation
Again when the world
Speaks louder
Than the heart.
Art is a festival
It is a divinity at joy.
I play this tune
To sacrifice a disharmony.
