Four Micropoems by Santosh Kumar Pokharel

I Am Not for Him
He was mine before
He was unaware of me.
And now I am not for him
He cried out loud 
His crying I will flaut
I won't him applaud. 
□

Wait
He was very unhappy
As no one recognized him.
Wait for tomorrow morning 
I will tell you,
The sun knows everything.
□

On the Mountain-Peak 
There was a light on the mountain-peak 
And another at the feet
Both were different qualities 
Got enlightened those
Who ventured climb up high
Were enlightened too, who didn’t.
□

So
I was and was not
You were as your cause you got
I had no cause 
So, I was and was not.
