Samana Uprety
An incandescent light
emerges through this soul,
longing for its innate home.
Weaving joy throughout the journey,
a poignant melody sweeps within.
An inextricable mirage,
bound to fade,
boomerangs quietly
amidst a celestial echo,
through rhythms
and the presence of a lover.
A splendiferous reflection of love—
I see myself as.
A silent, excruciating war
it has fought.
An imperishable life,
born again—
rare and gleaming,
spellbound and wise,
like the fragrance of coffee.
The aliveness of the soul
matches the spirit
of stubbornness.
As the hollow void screams
in defensive pride,
it shields the heart of the cage,
blossoming into love.
Reborn like the phoenix—
ashes to wings,
triumphant in spirit.
From twists and turns,
it shall pass.
The beautiful aftermath of war
leaves a magnificent scar
upon the spirit attained.
A breathless, tender promise
from the vows we bled.
Through the labyrinth
of a quiet mind,
we wander
as arcane dreams unfold
in silent splendour.
Beyond the abyss,
the candle sought no light.
Within a single ember
lay an infinite universe.
