Namaste!! Welcome to Nepal!!!

     

The flame of a candle

Bright, clam and smooth
is the flame of a candle

As if
its the face of a beautiful young girl
looking lost in wonder
smiling all alone
with her virgin presence
languishing in the autumn sun
having just had a bath
after her first menstrual period.
Bright, calm and smooth
is the flame of a candle

The eyes watery with pain
but the pupils smiling in joy
as if
coming to sense after a surgical operation
despite her excruciating throes
rising her head up a bit
staring at the newborn baby
its a contended eye
of a sons mother.
Bright, clam and smooth
is a flame of a candle

On the one side
the face beams with shining light
on the other
tears gush out in the torrent
as if
its the face
of a window of the moment
when she remembers all at once
her late husband and their honeymoon night
Bright, clam and smooth
is the flame of a candle
