Slipping Into Another World
written by: Bhuwan Thapaliya
@nepalipoet
A fragrance of serenity
erupting from assorted flowers
in the wilderness of her smiles
moisturizes my emotions
and takes me far away,
very far away from a landscape
which has familiar elements
to a place where there is
no conflict between
human proportions
and the proportions
of the discarded
manmade objects.
The surge of her smiles
has transformed
my mind
in many ways.
I feel I am slipping
into another world.
A world
where the heart
of the democracy
isn’t cracked open,
parched
and sun-dried.
A world
far away from
blaring horns
and choking fumes
of their
vociferous thoughts.
