Only If You Call So
Sushant Thapa
Be my ice
Be my summer
Be my dice
Be my dart
My sensation of dark
My desire of light.
In all you shine.
The tough and tear,
The rough and sour.
You pour and never be empty.
Keep the sunshine
Shy moon beams
Stars shine true
And do not fall to bid goodbye.
Loss is not the name of hope
Only if you call so.
