New Poems: Sushant Thapa



More Pain 

 

The rage is beaming, 

There is a hole 

In the heart. 

Like talents that stumble,  

Like gardens that empty, 

There is nothingness 

That is not like

The wheelbarrow. 

Whatever grows 

Will see the world. 

I am raging at 

The nuclearization  

What should not be 

Is only valid when 

It appears. 

First, it appears

Then we are able to say 

That it should not be. 

I break the flowerpots 

To find my breaking heart.  

Now this has lead

To more pain. 

 

 

Take Me As I Am 

 

Take me as I am, 

The garden is all set. 

Fragrances haunt 

Like deep longings. 

There is an aftermath 

Of everything. 

Hold on 

Till the ways 

Run wild. 

All that is thrilling 

Is worth the ride

Of life. 

In simple tones,

Nature lives 

And reveals 

That the fog is beautiful. 

I seek your voice, 

To listen

Something soothing. 

Take my name, 

I shall meet you 

By the evening's stupor. 

 

 

Nothing to Hide 

 

I wake up, 

A force in design,

The sipping life

Is not empty 

Of its cup.

Talk of the day, 

The remaining hours 

Are passing by. 

I am blessed to live 

Like an artful recollections. 

Let the hours pass, 

Let the sky sink 

And the dawn arrive 

Like a sketch. 

With you by my side

The distances could 

Solve the equation 

Of detachment. 

In telling, 

There is nothing

To hide. 

 


Garden and Distances 

 

I am 50 miles 

Away,

And 50 miles close 

To become an art 

That you choose. 

I am the affection

That you pulled close, 

In the hour of need. 

Soul does its searching,

Weaknesses are like 

The dark night 

That melts like 

Candles in the wind. 

Music rains like kisses,

Wild flowers grow 

With no planted seeds,

Love is a garden, 

Where colors bloom,

In mesmerizing phases.
