Two Poems by Deepti Shakya

 

CALL OF THE GLACIERS 

The rapidly melting glaciers call out,
O! Human, please stop your cruel attacks,
Why do you commit such atrocities on us?
How long will we endure your fatal activities?

You chose only the ambition of development,
In your greed, you never listened to our pain,
You have no qualms in going against nature,
Aren't you worried about the adverse effects?

How toxic have you made the atmosphere?
Rising temperatures have raised extreme dangers,
Don't you remorse your deeds even a little,
Why don't you stop your dangerous activities?

Can't you see the rising sea levels?
Think quickly, don't turn your heart into stone,
Climate cycle is constantly getting disturbed,
Countless disasters will come, life will be destroyed.

We are breaking apart and melting, save our icebergs,
Aquatic creatures will become extinct, you will yearn for water,
Control excessive amount of carbon dioxide emissions,
Stop harmful activities, otherwise you will invite a massive catastrophe.

HOW MUCH I ADORE YOU 

How do I express how much I adore you?
O my beloved, believe me my love is true.

I can't bring the stars and the moon for you,
But together we can see the starry night view,
Your name is printed on the walls of my heart,
Now you have become my life's precious part. 

How do I express how much I adore you?
O my beloved, believe me my love is true.

I can't show you many false rainbow dreams,
In my eye's ocean, you can see surging love streams.
Ask these winds what is hidden in my silence,
My soul yearns so much in your absence.

How do I express how much I adore you?
O my beloved, believe me my love is true.

I can't make many spurious promises to you,
But I'll try to paint your life with golden hue.
For once, listen to my heartbeat's sweetest call,
Life without you feels like an endless downfall.

How do I express how much I adore you?
O my beloved, believe me my love is true.

Two Poems by Deepti Shakya

I FEEL REALLY HAPPY WHEN 

I feel really happy when 

the cool breeze gently caresses me 

as if an invisible divine feather 

is passing by touching me.

I feel really happy when 

the scent of flowers intoxicates me 

as if the sacred perfume 

is dissolving in me.

I feel really happy when 

the chirping of birds mesmerizes me 

as if soulful music 

is resonating inside me.

I feel really happy when

the gentle raindrops secretly wet me 

as if sheer heavenly elixir 

is slowly purifying me. 

I feel really happy when 

the moon's bright rays fall upon me

as if an iconic lunar energy

is flowing within me.

O' BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY

Oh! I wonder how a beautiful creature emerges from a cocoon,

How beautifully God created you, what a magical boon! 

O' beautiful butterfly! You undergo a complete metamorphosis,

To become a butterfly, you metamorphose from egg to Caterpillar and then to Chrysalis.

Ahh! Vibrant colorful patterns on your shimmering wings,

You are the prettiest insect among all the little pretty things.

O' little butterfly, You flutter from one flower to another,

You dance merrily, kiss each flower and sip the pure nectar.

O' sweet butterfly! You paint the world with beautiful colors that mesmerize,

You are the symphony of happiness, your presence gives an ethereal surprise. 

O' beautiful butterfly! You come from the sky and then suddenly disappear,

You fly away and whisper softly "live life without fear".

Two Poems by Deepti Shakya

THOSE MOMENTS

Whenever a star was broken,
I wished to God to have you.
Prayed for your well being,
Always prayed for us to meet.

You were the canvas of my life,
On which I painted you.
Only you occupied my heart and mind,
Your name was written there in golden letters.

Every moment I thought of only and only you,
I tied a thread in your name in every temple.
It was you who introduced me to the treasure of love,
You were my happiness and you taught me to live.

I felt safe in your shadow,
With you, I also used to love getting wet in the rain.
Time used to pass while talking to you,
Every moment spent with you was so beautiful.


YOU CAN'T MEASURE MY LOVE 

You can't measure my love in inches or meters,
This is my heart which has no parameters.
You can feel my love in your heart and soul,
The treasure of my love makes you whole.

Believe me I am your shadow when you're in sunshine,
Feel the immense depth of my love which is divine.
I am your echo when you are sad and silent,
The magic of my love will keep you calm not violent.

I am your healer when you're in lots of pain,
You will forget all the sorrows with my love's nectarine rain.
I am your shield when you are stuck in the storm,
The Power of my love will help you get out of the rainstorm.

I am your light when you are surrounded by darkness,
My love is a celestial symphony that will fill you with blissfulness.
I am your courage when you feel lost,
Whatever happens, I will not leave you at any cost.

AUTUMN'S INSPIRING BEAUTY, A POEM BY DEEPTI SHAKYA

Seasons never last, they change cyclically,
One season goes and another comes happily.
Tumbling leaves, a splash of vibrant colors,
Onset of autumn, fervor among nature lovers.

The sultry heat ends, wispy winds whisper,
Cascading crimson golden leaves are crisper.

The beauty of change, so vivid and profound,
The spectacular views leave us spellbound.
Breathtaking autumn hues, from sky to earth,
Seasonal magic, a world immersed in mirth.

Like seasons, changes keep coming in life,
Don't be afraid of falling, fight with strife.

Two Poems by Deepti Shakya

What Will Tomorrow Bring

In life's uncertain journey, we know nothing about the next moment,

So we can never predict what's going to happen tomorrow.

Don't worry unnecessarily about the future, have hope and be ardent,

Make sincere efforts with positive perspectives, try to forget the sorrow.

What will tomorrow bring, it's just a mystery,

Time always changes, one day problems will also end.

In life's game, sometimes we lose but sometimes we get victory,

God has plans for everyone, so trust his process, my friend.

We should not focus on what will happen tomorrow,

It may bring a dawn of surprises or a night of troubles.

Always remember that heavy rain is what causes a rainbow,

Live in the present, life is a tapestry of struggles.

Overthinking about tomorrow can lead to anxiety and depression,

Life is all about moving forward in every situation.

A Tale of Parenthood 

A melody of existence whispers in the air

In the delivery room, a new life blossoms

A moment full of joy, so surreal and awesome

A journey begins with immense love and care.

An intense longing to see the newborn's face

Tears of happiness flowing amidst excitement

An eternal bliss of becoming a blessed parent

A precious miraculous feeling of tender embrace.

A most beautiful gift sent from the universe

A unique bond that connects hearts deeply

A child's cry and laughter create a symphony

Lullabies weave golden and delightful verses.

A sweet tale of parenthood beyond description 

Emerges as a blessing with fervor and elation!
