Poetry Came To Me

My essence dangled in
Time's barren boughs
And winds of emotions
Passed hurling silence 
Rising from crypt
My eyes fixed on hourglass
Watching trapped moments
In nodules of despair
And the strange me
Thriving in my own orphic world
Ever widening galaxy of restless feelings
Swirled in monotonous orbit of 
Lights and shadows

It was then 
Poetry came to me
To hold my wandering heart
I leaped through 
Sands of time
To find my moist reflection
Beneath filament of poetic lines
Reminding me the
Colour and magic
Breathing in the hidden verses
Home of metaphors
That my ink-stained soul
Kept undemonstrative
Even unknown to me
Poetry showed me 
My inner world
Muses celebrating in dance of words
Now I traverse through lanes of emotions
That destiny never gave chance
To walk through
With poetry entwined
My heart knows no regrets
Poetry bleeding from my thoughts
Says all 
That my voice
Has forever failed to
