Finding Home by Sushant Thapa

Take me away From the staggering walks Of life. I see a clear bright day, Heart is concelaed And yet at task Without an ask. I want to mingle In the aftermath of love. We found each other In passage of distances. I weep by the garden, You bloom like a flower. Come and surprise me With eyes of irises, And fragrances of beholding. I have stumbled on the way, Have been under the weather With an aching soul, In you I find a home. Bio: Sushant Thapa is a Nepalese poet....

Take me away  From the staggering walks  Of life.   I see a clear bright day,  Heart is concelaed  And yet at task  Without an ask.  I want to mingle  I…

Child, Stand Up by Su Yun

Translated by Cao ShuiA child crawling out of a stoneThe world seems unable to accommodate your innocent movementsYou are holding flowers, jumping and swayingThe cannon covers you with ferocityYou touch the graffiti and turn around the windowsillSharp blade blasting threatens your chestStripping away your unformed cognition of loveDo you remember the vines planted in your childhoodDo you imagine the expected blooming of flowersDo you know that your mother also onceGradually deepening the waitWaiting for your heart to be opened by love…...
