Vague...

When the swap of these hours,

Brings in the hilarity of yesteryears,

And breaks my notion of being composed,

My soul trapped in those layers…

And I knew, it was vague!

 

Layers of  years of memories…

And of dreams that we dreamt…

Of this bliss, we claimed…

And the layer that grew faint…

 

I love the solidity of these layers-

And love this suffocation in me,

For this, drives away to that land,

Where inhabits the actual me…

 

Of few decades-in quest of knowing,

This world around me-

Yes, ended up with something complex

Albeit, I grew up from the simplicity…

 

Kept on adding the layers over layers,

And the vision, hence, blurred…

Of no roads to head further…

And no voice, within, to be heard…

 

I shall seldom try to escape,

The cube of this concrete…

The walls that shall never let in…

The promises- so porous

And the prayers- so weak!

 

Yes, my chase is vague!

And I knew it…

My efforts- in vain!

For something subtle-

Of never-winning-games!

 

Within these layers-

My soul shall bury…

In that quest of unleashing the intangible

I shall befriend my solitude, definitely!

Though I know, it’s vague...

Again!

My friend, a powerful and emotional ride in your poetry.
"I shall seldom try to escape,
The cube of this concrete…
The walls that shall never let in…
The promises- so porous
And the prayers- so weak!"
Sometime we can fall and not see the light of hope. The poem ended with little hope. Little hope is all we have sometimes. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

[Dayran]

A poem about the journey of self discovery ... through layers of existence ... each pointing to another ... until it points back at you. Nice ...
