In many a situation, the images that words hide while walking forth are the desired meaning of particular words rather than the word itself. Those words sing and dance by coming out of the paper.

More quotes by Suman Pokhrel

Every morning
I wake up with the news
of bloodshed.
I feel my body,
desperate to know whether
I’m still alive.

An uneasy rhythm of life
is more life like than an easy death.

I asked none
why life ends in ways uncertain.

Once positioned on their(children's) lips,
even the scariest of words
come out as a melodious lisp.

The dream too thinks twice,
gets filtered to go soft
to be seated on children's eyes.
