Worlds Of Wanderers

Worlds Of Wanderers

A Poem by Irfan Bashir Shah

Words are worlds of wanderers;

Waning wishes, his or hers.

Time is but an apprentice

Learning lessons- Silence through noise.

 

Through my ringing ears I hear  

The nocturnal heralds of hazy peril,

Then with my weary withered eyes,

I see the oceans drowning skies.

 

I sauntered the deserts of scorching sands

With club and cryptic cubes in hands;

Skewered and shuddered the green less land,

Espying for eons to end an errand.

 

A realm through a portal I found,

Where once, deities and devils dwelt appeased;

Only to return with a broken might

When a shattered fairytale besieged my sight.

Amazing format. and amazing thought process. through every word u give a vivid picture of exactly whats happening... my best lines are :
"I sauntered the deserts of scorching sands
With club and cryptic cubes in hands;
Skewered and shuddered the green less land,
Espying for eons to end an errand."

its obviously a very interstng write announcing strength and depth in it. I love the metaphor of the traveller u used. It has enhanced the underlying meaning so beautifully. Just can say its one of the best pieces tht i have come across :) keep sharing nd thnks

Beautiful. the world is timeless and we can know and experience only the now but our imagination is the portal to the past as is the written word.

I may not fully get your intended meaning on this but this piece gave me a mental picture of a person being disillusioned. You painted a wonderful imagery in here but my favorite line is this:
"Espying for eons to end an errand" --stunning.

This is a wonderful piece of literature, I just don't eve n know what to write about it. It seems like it could be interpreted so many different ways. It was written insanely well and it's an unforgettable piece of literature. Keep up the great work!

Last line of the first stanza is one of those lines that is just so beautiful and poetic you can't forget it.

This is great! Very deep and can definitely mean more than one thing.

This is amazingly written, friend. You're right though, this poem can mean so many different things. It's hard to decide!I found it to be very inspirational and quite mystic in tone. Truly, it is an excellent piece. Good job!
