Tanka poem
- Shreeram Stha
1.
Germinating betrayal
Steamed heart
Scare proliferated
Hard to size
Vanishing in a diverged road.
2.
Gimmick love
Fake love affair
Hard to understand
Taking enthusiasm
Tried to reach near.
3.
Cool weather
Scarching warmth
Frozen smow
Trying and trying to throw away
Struggle all in vain.
4.
Inside the lake
Diving suddenly
Water splashed
Pasted with dirt
Water became muddy.
5.
In winter season
Cooled body
Searching warmth
Covered with fog
Kicking off darkness.
6.
While shaking the earth
Fear in heart
Lost consciousness
Peretrating destruction
Circled society .
7.
Became past
Not able to forget
Being unseen
Scratching mind and heart
Dark shadow in eye.
8.
Spent in hatred
Being an eyeball
Hard to forget
Frightened by past
Love became ghost.
9.
Wrong task
inspired by selfishness
being stupid
walking by closing eyes
shy by biting tongue.
- Trans. By Saroj Bogati
