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

I tend to be a bit jealous of poets who can get their message across with a rhyme scheme.I can only manage free verse.I think this is an excellent poem,I think the line dainties and devils dwelled appeased deserves to go viral...Good work.

You have infused a power in those words... the experiences, the contrasting and extreme sights, the voyage of this person makes him see has been so subtly described in this poem.. Yet it has a tale to tale... the harsh realities of life shatters the trance of make-belief world.. Excellent work :)

I don't really feel comfortable reviewing poetry, it's not something I know too much about. But, I must say that I really liked: "Words are worlds of wanderers." Love it!
