Author’s Note : The following is a ‘Worambling’ (Rambling with words).
The night woke up in the dark
Surrounded with silence
Calmness overtook the litle patience
As I drifted from one thought to another
Winds swirled in the air
Somersaulting with the hot currents
The dark became dearer
While the patience worn out slowly
For life is such
Whispered someone from behind my back
A voice so familiar
For it was none other than mine
While my strength drained
While my thoughts faded
Time was winning in its part
For it is a competition
Little moments of bliss
Flashed like an old movie
Overwhelmed was I so see such serenity
For my mind never accepted such beauty
I failed to retrospect
When I realized struggle is not my type.
At my helplessness, People laughed
while Arrogance subsided the little hope.
Defeated , I did feel
For my will was shattered
Surrounded in darkness
I felt the suction into the black hole
In vain, I tried to escape
Which seemed like a distant dream
Determined I was to get out
Only to realize that I was already lost.
Little hope tried to keep me alive
Pushing me hard to relive
Every passing moment
Slowly belittled my determination
Deep was I in the despair
For a little ray of light, if at all
Faded midst the torturous dark
While I tried not to lose hope.

But I didn't take ages to write nor am I that talented. Just rambling with words.

Haha.
Well, Poet is a very high qualification which I won't really fit.
I am amateur in Photography as well.
I second your last line .. ” just of a different form and different resolution. . Totally agree on this.
Thanks, by the way. 🙂
Made my day.

Can relate to this poem, it describes my mood!
“Little moments of bliss
Flashed like an old movie
Overwhelmed was I so see such serenity
For my mind never accepted such beauty”
There is no bliss and beauty isn't comforting during despair..Beautifully written!
