Scribbling:
Tragedy of Wanderer:
“They
held each other, as if holding on to time, carrying that tick tock on their
shoulders while keeping world on their laps amidst it all being sleepy. Who were
watching them, who were there to listen to their confessions to each other, their
giggling, their mischievous acts, their playfulness all along, who knew
suddenly it all will turn against them, conspire and hard, to make them silent,
confiscate, force them to bury their heads beneath ground, and make them burn
through the warmth of the breath of their own.
Well! And
completely unknown to all such conspiracies they were still holding on to each
other, still keeping pace with that tick-tock, caressing each other as if
caressing wounds inflicted upon through those numbers on the dial. They touched
each other, his fingers dipped upon her skin as if one puts his finger in a
pond of still water, lost in oblivion for so long, and this touch fuelling life
back into them, made them breathe. Breathe as if a storm raging, as if they
would wipe it all, wipes all those walls that had kept them a prisoner for so
long, as they kissed, as they loved. As the storm surged and raged.”
