Tragedy of Wanderer!

Scribbling:
Tragedy of Wanderer:
“Moments, when you cannot get high enough on alcohols but only blood, your own, which you must drain off your veins and collect in goblet you kept to grow a pair of dahlia by the window; Instead that goblet grew pair of eyeballs that hung there as if peeking in and watched him all through dusk attempting to drag himself out of that void. Void, which was sinking him down and deeper, there was no ground anymore beneath but an abyss. An abyss created out of his own flesh and bones, for his shadows were as shallow as drown dead body floating by a marsh.

It did not happen in one night, he did not even fall singe piece, for he was too stubborn to be dragged opposite so he insisted but hands of wall-clock pierced his ears and sliced through his lungs in the epitome of twilight, as if it were cooking a delicacy to serve the darkness, his royal highness, after all he was a faithful slave. And now, abandoned, Piece by piece he fell down as those notes hit the chord; his hands attempting to catch his leg, his leg trying to run behind his face, his face as twisted as a crooked finger-nail and made his heart screamed thinking of it a ghost. There was him falling down in pieces yet with a hope in his heart, his beloved night would catch him, stitch back his pieces, caress his scars and bring him back by the dawn before even he could himself realize he was neither alive nor dead but a spectre at large.”

Tragedy of Wanderer

Scribbling:
Tragedy of Wanderer:
When suddenly out of nowhere he realized being at a crossroad, which way to go, which way to turn his back, which one to face up, dilemma was pinning down and it was a must for him to stand his ground. Strangely every side appeared to show his face, he felt he was walking down in all direction simultaneously, as they say in quantum mechanics of parallel universe he saw happening in that moment. Was he drunk, was he high or was he watching it happening being awake, he could not make up his mind. He kept on looking at them in certain awe. Apparently, none of those faces cared of him being there, they were acting as they did not know him; or may be knew him to be of no good to know. He was appearing wasted to himself. He felt embarrassed in front of them. He felt strong urge to prove them wrong, he screamed louder, and jumped down, away from them all. Alas! Force of gravity was too strong to design his speed, he could not breathe, black air filled his lungs and eyes burst out to give way to darkness within.

He remembers no more then, when he woke up to find his pieces lying all around. There was no face anymore. He did not exist even for himself anymore. He did not mind having no flesh and bones, for he just convinced self of being a stranger to him and shook hands. It was easier this way to carry scars of those violent moments of solitude.

Drop by Drop!

Edward J. Steichen - Figure with Iris, 1902.
"Drop by drop
She collected darkness
And the night
Rolled down her cheeks
Onto her palms
This she raised
As if to let the moon
Taste her
In salted dreams
She carries
In her eyes
Where life gleamed
This she collected
Drop by drop
While passing by
The twilight hour
And lighted the path
For to show
Way to her dreams
Where they belong

Drop by drop
She collected herself
And the night
Watched her, mesmerized
For her wings
Made of broken glasses
Brought a thousand stars
Upon the earth
Beneath her feet
This she walked upon
Like a fawn
Scared a bit
Curious too
Watching night watch her
By the chasm
In the vicinity of moonlight
She kissed it
Held it close,
As if soul-mates
Who complete, fill
Complement each other, and
Drop by drop
They melted to be one
While the moon
Witnessed their romance
In chaotic silence."

Waylaid!

"What could man do without guilt?
A sense of fear, sense of shame
Sense of regrets being all over
Only to buried, beneath
Lies! One watered whole life

What could man do without hate?
A sense of wicked desire, sense to kill
Sense to smell blood taking over
Only to be burnt in the fire of hatred
One kept the flames high several nights

What could man do without death?
A passion to kill, urge to fill
Lands with dead, while
Pretending to be animal
One always thought self to be

What could man do without life?
A dreadful journey to commence
One hitting walls and again
Yet dragging through flesh and bones
Only to be lost in the void of own screams

What could man do without darkness?
Mirror, which shows one more than one could hide
And lays down his body bare open
To be loved, despite being drenched in filth
While maneuvering hard to be loved back, alas!"

Tragedy of Wanderer!


“Night screams
 Words whisper
A Lullaby

Solitude withered
Darkness offers solace
Embracing shadows

Fears howling
Trembling, stumbling
Eyes on a look out

Holding its place
Scars, stars
One must navigate through

In silence, at chaos
Loud heartbeat
Tick-tock, tick-tock”

Tale of a Night!

"Only if it would have been a night
A night that offers a glimpse
Glimpse of world, away and afar
This sees through gleams of star

Instead, this night offers dark alleyways
To steer through, unheard-unseen
For stars does not carry life tonight, but
Death, black and bleak as it deems

Death, for what else could paint it all black
Black as night without stars and the moon
Moon, for it did choose to hide behind clouds
Hide, as if being aghast and blind

Aghast, which one feels passing by
Field of death, bodies sleeping beneath ground
Ground, that echoes screams through graves
Graves, still carrying open wounds

Wounds, for what else
Could help one die yet live
A life narrated out of scars,
A life beyond flickering of stars."

At the Dawn!

"She collected sunrays at dawn
Dew drops upon rose petal
A few resting at thorns

Walking past woods she heard cuckoo sing
Song of love, coming alive
Heart whispered dreams

She keeps them safe
In her bosom
Dreams bloom even beneath nightmares

Standing by the sea watching it flow
Carrying few pebbles in her pocket
Stone skipping, she jumped off the cliff

Broken pieces of glass
She held a mirror in her hand
Scars complimented her face

She looked at the passing by moon
Fading through the dawn, yet
Promising a life of her own; she smiled."
