Just a poem



Rhyme of the ancient mariner.

The Conclusion


Episode one


My journey took longer

Years than a thousand

Before ten thousand

Years B.C


Not even one planet

Throughout the universe

Would let me land

Or welcomed me


In a void of silence

My ship was cruising

In darkness infusing

Space endlessly


The hull was harder

Than iron and steel

But that sea was not

Like any other sea


Storms put a fight to

Claim all the right to

Which will strike more

Vigorously


The ship resisted

But the metal twisted

Shattered to pieces

Thrown randomly


Episode 2


Floating in darkness

Like dying in harness

Deafened and blinded

But can hear and see


When it was all over

For the torn down rover

Lights were gleaming

Repeatedly


Slowly approaching

A ghost then another

Then appeared more

Than two and three


Distracted, broken

Feeling like crying

Nightmares trying

To inhibit me


Episode three


Dragged to a planet

Of floating dwellers

With different colors

But had no face


Clusters of creatures

With deafening voices

And screeching noises

Filling up the space


Creatures of light

Without complexions

Different than any

Species or race


Deservedly, may claim

If solace was a name

Given to a planet

This was the place


Episode four


Then suddenly silence

Took over voices

Limited their choices

Just to disappear


My life was a hectic

Duel with skeptic

Fears, but not a different

Domain of fear


Cast in a circle

Inside of a spiral

Inside of a whirling

Atmosphere


My mind was full of

Blurry illusion

Safe for confusion

Nothing else, was clear


Episode five


Thrown on a floor

That felt like steel

Pain was the only

Feeling I feel


Shivering and shaken

Where I was taken

To a land forsaken

Or maybe unreal


If this was hell,

Then it will be odd

For I have never

Disobeyed God


In the book I might had

Sometime a thought

That what they wrote

Looked like a fraud


Was that the reason?

For which, I'm punished?

Tortured and banished?

It did not look fair


But fair is a synonym

To explanations

And solicitations

Leading nowhere


When before long

In times, so many

Never believed any

Thing written there


Some prayers maybe

Did comfort me

Or omens that some

Toss in the air


But all those maybes

Were empty and hollow

Loaded with sorrow

Wrapped in despair


Episode six


Summoned to a dome

That looked like glass

Beyond its circles

No one can pass


Millions of flickering

Lights in the back

Full of every color

Yet all were black


Voices of every

Hiss of a sound

In a virgin ground

No human trod


Knocking on the floor

With his lightning rod

A caller announced

Appearance of God.


Episode seven


Eyes can't reach Him

But feelings can

The first encounter

Of God and man


It was dominating

His presence on all

By force mandating

All others were small


"We have there put you

Where We thought best

Why did you leave and

Come to this test"


Roaring like a thunder

Never heard before

The sound kept echoing

More times, than more


For that court was not

A place for who can lie

Silence was the best

Answer I came by


Couldn't hear, or see

Or move or walk

Couldn't feel, or think

Or breathe, or talk


Quick was the trial

The verdict was clear

"Being in denial

This, you must hear


Rebellious creature

Hear what We tell

Sentence for denial

Is banishing to hell".


Episode eight


Silence dominated

Haunting the place

All evaporated

Without a trace


Alone, with a thought

Chasing a thought

Sailing confusion

In a broken old boat


But one thought, maybe

That was the least

Expected from a baby

Thrown to a beast


Fight back as long as

I shall exist

They will not break me

And I will resist


Visions and feelings

Of power and glory

Changed what seemed

End of my story


Standing up right

In the core of night

Ready for the fight

Of generations


I shall control

My fate and all

My body and soul

Expectations


Episode nine


All my intention

Was to go back home

But question was how

To leave that dome


No walls or bars

No locks or rail

All of my breaking

Attempts did fail


I'm there and sentenced

No chance for a bail

Confined to the most

Solitary jail


How I thought hell

Was fables of the old

That people told

In a fairy tale?


Episode ten


Lost the track of

Time long ago

Solitude haunted

All things I know


After long waiting

I heard them coming

Fiercely drumming

In a fiery show


Ogres of fire

On beasts were riding

No place for hiding

Nowhere to go


Paralyzing horror

No book or lore

Described before

Witnessed or saw


Devils and demons

Darker than darkness

No man was born yet

For fighting such foe


Episode eleven


No matter how I

Tried to pretend

I think my story

Never had any end


My ship was cruising

In an endless night

No words were right

To read or write


Thousands of years

Journeys did take

Rendered but nothing

Except heartache


Reel after reel

Spin in my head

Was it unreal

What I have said?


Reel after reel

Spin in my head

How could I feel

When I was dead?
