All I remember is her smile,
her naughty eyes,
her whispering lips,
her promise to text me,
when she hugged me bye.
A kick is all you need,
when you don't succeed,
when victory is your habit,
where no-one to compete.
High above the clouds,
Seeming tiny peaks,
Beneath is a city,
A forest of cement,
But a temple itself,
The city of Kathmandu.
A long time has passed,
Yup, a long time,
Completed an era,
Finished my schooling,
“life starts now” exactly describes,
The excitement I am captured in.
Just for a moment,
everything is still,
that falling weathered leaf,
paused in mid-air.
That tiny insect,
crawling on my chair.
No blowing wind,
no chirping birds,
nothing is moving,
even the drops,
floating in mid-air,
like tiny pearls.
