Anachronistic

Ambled away from the path

Never realising all it starts

Away from blemished redundancy

Carousing to a beloved resplendency 

However wrong it may seem

Right will prove it's deem

Over the glooming tune of clocks ticking

Nuggets of mask deteriorate, cracking

I fade beyond the stares of past

Simply wishing to start at last

Tilting the reasons away from me

Inward to the goal to be

Calling upon the hope, wish to be free. 

Author's Note

The word defines itself as belonging to a different time, probably past. I feel as such as well, placed in a wrong place, wrong time but not essentially craving for the past.

I must admit instantly to struggle with form and altogether find it difficult. So when I even attempt to do something like this I either spend hours and it just doesn't come or something does come but it means I found a way to avoid the form. Either way I struggle. Ultimately it is a skill... you seem to navigate the form without the constraints I find. Great descriptive language, straight away inviting into depths of meaning. Making one aware that meaning indeed could just be part of trying. Even if the cause seems hopeless... Try it. Why? Because nothing is cast in stone and you might be suprised by the outcome.

Full of hope.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot Rene! Hope is the only thing makes me aspire :) I wrote this among three days where first two resulted In Three lines and remaining all on a third day. But I did not push myself a lot to pen cos that didnot help me to frame even a meaningful sentence like you mentioned. Overall thus was fun and I'm amazed many find this as good :)

[Sindu]

Btw thank you so much for such a thoughtful review. It's always amazing to read how you add a moment, opinion, memory or something of sort to it :)

[Jamestown]

I am into the situation that I am dying to go back in time, stand in crowd at Woodstock'69, see the The Beatles and Zepplin live... everything was so good with modern tech, writing journals on paper instead of typing on MS Word... phew!

[Sindu]

I still write my journals on paper, poetry, art.. all of it :) MS word doesn't capture the essence of the true spirit, most of the times. I like what you say.. those prospects seem livening :) Thank you.

[Sindu]

Thank you sir! May your howls be reciprocated :)

I liked this acrostic poem Sindu. Although as much as you may think that you are an anachronistic, I do not believe you to be completely such. A young girl that yearns for a different time, does not have the negativism of someone that wants the wrongful deeds of the old back to power. And your poem sheds life to it.

[Sindu]

True, moon :) I do not wish for the negativism or the pain of the past to creep into the lives in motion at present. May be right some wrongs, second chances you know. But we do have second chances as the time unfolds, only in a very disguised manner. Mostly it is to escape elsewhere. Thank you :)

[Surya pradha]

soul stirring poetry. great use of words, they make your poem rich!

[Sindu]
