Choka Poem-Shreeram Shrestha
At midnight
Formed darkness
When fear grown
In a frightened sleep
When the light penetrates
The matter played in my mind
Side sleeping
Trying to sleep
The sun shines
Sleepy eyes
Tragic scene
By becoming like a mirror
Teases
Unforgettable memories
Tried to forget
The time slipped
I felt anxious
Dilemma at the crossroads
Alone traveller
When you become frustrated
Lost consciousness
Life is restless
Chest piercing
The hope of vomiting pain
Becoming emotional
Unable to handle
Looking for support
Support not received
Selfish world
When fighting a war alone
Falling as the log.
-Trans. By Saroj Bogati
