-t. kilgore splake, author of escape to the wild

“This collection is an embroidery of love and time beautifully juxtaposed in the poems composed by poet Sushant Thapa. The earthy demeanor with which he expresses his thoughts has left me wanting. Various different shades of love can be found in the book, all of which scripted in a down to earth fashion and while I was reading, I felt as if sitting under the cool shades of a large banyan tree. The visualization of love as a breezy chariot that carries us smoothly till the end of life’s journey comes out very clearly in these poems compiled under the title Love’s Cradle. Usage of philosophical expressions in the midst of so much simplicity tends to take one by surprise and that I think is unique in Thapa’s style of poetry writing.”
-Moitreyee Raju, author of Call of the Hibiscus

Excerpt:

Sustain

Running exhausts a runner
But the next game always awaits
With greater intensity.
Writing finishes the words of expression
But something again wakes up
From the sleeping bed of life.
Open up like a wordless house;
To write means to peep inside
The under construction house.
Peep from every open door and
Peep from every possible window.
Yes, the house is wordless because only
The echoes can be properly heard.
To write is to be quiet
Yet, the ears speak in unison;
They speak to the paper
And forget not to hear.
Miles and miles of spaces
Always keep in mind
The spaces between the flower and the
Bee filled with nectar.
Anything might sustain -
The emblem of kisses or
The dumping of bouquets.
