Freedom from Rush Hour by Sushant Thapa

The crowd makes me 
More lonely.
When I am alone
And having my great time
It is called solitude.
I pray in my belief
To kill restlessness.
I want to embrace
The soul's music
And write its lyrics.
I want to pass through
The boat of life,
Pay attention
To the pulsating music.
I want to pause life
And study art closely.
More closely than a thorn
That pricks and bleeds.
The Salvador Dali's painting of
Melting clocks
That I study
Is freedom from rush hour.
I used to be your crazy diamond,
Waiting for you to shine, still.
