Tragedy of Wanderer!


Scribbling:

Tragedy of Wanderer:

“There was no escape anymore; being made in-charge of his own solitary ruins, he was supposed to make a castle upon them, for his kingdom of solitude, with bricks of lost moments lying here and there as if pebbles of no significance. He would have to choose them one by one and raise walls around, for they might let him hear echoes of his whispering heart, to which he has failed to hear mostly till now. He would need a bit of light too, once inside. He could use rays of broken thoughts hanging here and there upon the mists, for they carry several colors, he remembers how he stole some of them while wandering around, passing by those left-over huts around that sea-shore. What next? How about a bit of fire, to keep him warm, maybe he could use fireballs made of scribbled paper which he has been keeping in the pocket of his shirt, placed just above heart, for it was what has kept his heart warm, though his skin carries scar of several burns deep inside but he never took it serious, for his heart felt better in their warm embrace, though burning.

He thought about what else he might need in that kingdom once built and locked, forever. Oh! how could he forget, he would need to scribble still and then he smiled, he needed nothing else, for He has his skin as paper, blank as a pathway walked a long time ago by a pair of soft feet and numb ever-since. For pen, he had those fingers who probably knew more than him, of scribbling, for being the first to hold that flying kite, first to touch and feel the tension of the thread, first to be robbed when they got to hold his own head, cut and bleeding. For ink, he would use his blood, before it dries to be dusted and red being his favorite color ever since he has learned about colors, fascinating and hypnotizing, he has felt its power once upon his lips and has carved for it since then. The thoughts made him shiver yet glad, filled him with a kind of aderline rush in his slowing nerves.”

Tragedy of Wanderer 9

Scribbling:

 Tragedy of Wanderer -

 "For only if he would have dared to look into the eyes of his own image in front of mirror, he wouldn't have needed to hide himself behind those glasses upon his eyes, for may be he was scared to face himself, afraid of being haunted by it's questions forever, for he just chose not to and ended up being eaten inside-out raw. And now those glasses placed beside mirror sits there silently watching in that hollow void around his image hanging upon the wall, as if still mocking him, offering him a solitary glance, for free, Alas!"

Tragedy of Wanderer!


Tragedy of Wanderer!

As sensual, that touch appeared

Never any other, O why

As seductive those whispers seemed

Voice none another, O how

So lovely that one kiss felt

Lips and tongue got feathers, O what

Turned bodies all red

Rivers flowing onto each other, O heaven

Suddenly one looked so beautiful

Eyes were pleased as never ever, curious wanderer!

 

A mere illusion, a lie to self, O whether

An enduring truth, amidst false rage

Walking through a burning desert, O when

Thy shadow offered a little solace

 

Unable to fathom silence of own heart, or

Desired to forego what waited ahead,

Good or bad, this or that place

Devils own trail or a sacred trace, O none

But magic in that instant, that shows

Brighter to appear, pleasing than ever

Soothes one’s soul, leaves no fear, and there

Love being of fools, life of wise

Wanderer whistled past them wearing grand smile, O dear

For one being there just to perceive, and scribble

Hold thy close in that little closet once in a while, O again

Only to be lost in self exile

For, he learnt no good, he knew no bad

He found no love, he owed no life

Tragedy of wanderer -

"Probably he sensed the coming destruction from the very moment of inventing an urge of self-renaissance, to understand the very nature and desires. it always followed him like a shadow from that moment., like a deja-vu he tried to ignore them initially, kept his eyes closed despite their repeated attempts to sneak-in, not allowing hidden to take-over, for probably he understood the consequences but only till it started giving him the nightmares and what followed was even scarier though not un-expected, Disconnection!"

Tragedy of Wanderer!


Scribbling:

Tragedy of Wanderer:

“He wasn’t sure why or how but felt his thoughts had turned colder than the night and even beneath layers of blanket his lungs were being filled with cold air, he felt his bloods clotting and bones cracking, weight of frozen thoughts were getting heavier upon him. He felt his heartbeat being dragged away by the tick tock of that wall clock that announced its authority over his silent screams and forced him to try harder to look around, but only if he could see those thoughts, for they had turned darker than his blind eyes. Alas! He could not help but wait for a sleep; more of a nightmare, like a pathetic creature dying slowly waiting for the end.”

Reflection!

Reflection!


A reflection

We are, of whom

We ask, to self

Who knows, but us!

Too naïve, we are

To understand, ridicules us

Our image, too grand

For us, to look into

Those eyes, it scares

Dare not, we decide

To focus at, our toes

Blackened, dirty nail

We see, ashamed, to hide

We try, to dig, to hide

A hole into, ground

Shakes, already sinking,

Unable to carry us? Our sins?

Or just weight of our fear?

To not to fall, anymore down, high

We lift, our hands, which hangs

In that void, above

A silent scream, did he hear?

May be he would hold us

May be she would save us

Our reflection, our image!

 

Strikes one suddenly, that question again

But, of whom?

Hypnotized, are we?

Wake-up; look around, for hell’s sake

Better to forego, we decide, for instant

Tired, unable to think upon

Whoever, we say to self

He is our savior, or she is my master

Who else, but us!

Who knows, but us!

Hollow Man!


Hollow Man!
 

Tick tock tick tock

Lub dub lub dub

Dragging each other

Through the void

Hollow man

Has no choice, but

To listen, to follow
 

Its morning, wake-up!

Still that same

It’s night, sleep!

Yet no change

Programmed manners

Mechanical acts

Rein of noise

Tick tock tick tock

Lub dub lub dub


Growing all over

Locking all escape route

Hollow man imprisoned

Finds nothing to salvage

And whom, what for

Hears nothing, lost in those shrill

Tick tock tick tock

Lub dub lub dub
 

No more than a living dead

Piece of rotten flesh and blood

Or a walking ghost, cursed of its own shadow

Desires none, runs behind unknown

Walks by mirror, irresistible temptations

To see self, vows to be unbiased, yet

Only if it could hold, thought’s threshold, and

Finds it drowning in the beats of

Tick tock tick tock

Lub dub lub dub.
