![]() Such Winter A Poem in the Dark by Sushant Thapa Such Winter The water is freezing, There is an outbreak of laziness. I have a youthful sensation rising. We had a battle For love. You see the irony. I care for a plant And it flowers. I care more And it withers like time. A smile is a dream For the life of tear. I met you And unexpected happiness Brought me the spring of kisses. I was on a battle For love—such ironical longings Has taken my youth away. I have forsaken Rich man’s gold And bought me How much land I need. The graveyard isn’t a home But it is the winter of heart I am afraid of. A Poem in the Dark In the dark Music plays. In the brightness My heart goes silent. Shadows on the wall Remind me of you. The landscape lightens And I move within. Keys type, I have lost the feeling of ink On my frozen fingers. I gift a candle because You do not invite me for candlelight dinner. This poem is like a handkerchief You forgot to carry, But you always needed. Childhood loses the chance To become a child again. We will meet at crossroads ![]() Bio: Sushant Thapa is a Nepalese poet. He has published seven books of English poetry.
