Sushant Thapa, Nepal
Clematis flowers in my soil
I am the earthly touch;
I understand the pause of growth.
Rain has pauses and
Beauty is a swinging music
Singing about the pouring happiness;
Novelty and brevity in my arms means
I can reach them.
I shoot my gun and it hits the bone
Of the town I live in.
My meaning is a poplar tree
When I search for the greenery.
Something is old like a door
Waiting with a room full of surprises.
Happiness is a touch of heart
It is being away from the cobweb of life.
Tangled in my tune
Forgotten pauses bring smile;
Smile in remembrances.
No one notices a secret happiness;
It is somehow sacred like the sun.
The sand is warm in the desert somewhere
Sometimes, concrete gets cold in my abode.
