Choka poem-Shreeram Shrestha
Sweet past
Unforgettable
Becoming a mirror
Around the eyes
Becoming a dream
Comes to tease
When got scared
While trying to find shade
I became lonely
Cursing myself
Empty fate
In a pile of disgust
When drowning completely
Lost consciousness
Becoming corpse
Assuming the life as burden
When sitting being shrinking
Frightened by myself
silent Lake
Outrage erupts
Being Stunned
When the head raised
In a panic voice
A song of own pain
Rhythmically
Echoed voice
Vomiting the pain
With the stream of tears
In a melodic way
For a long time
Crying by screaming.
