Tragedy of Wanderer!

Tragedy of Wanderer!

The dark skies of the evening

Intimates of a forthcoming storm

While the howling winds

hustles the remnants of the day

and yet it fails to intimidate

a gloomy heart, which carries

the bits and pieces of it

nonchalantly, while walking towards

                                                                                   the edge of a cliff

holding on to the dear chaos

collected, over a walk through

the ruins of solitude,

a sacred piece of land, destroyed

off the fickle of a promise

the night never made, and yet

this mere thought; however hollow,

of having the night by its side

and the darkness to witness their romance

of having the screams finally echo beyond

the rumbling of ages,

and the fading trails of tears leading to the bosom

finally, to be unshackled of the consistent reminder

The dawn brought, of having being forsaken

Or simply being caressed at the end of it all;

Alas!

The hallucination

Marks the end

Of a journey

The fragile heart partook

Unknown of what it takes

To overcome the dirty tricks

Played upon

By none other than

the self,

drunk upon

the words…!”
