I'm the end


Rusty doors open with a crank

A soul walks in

Two violinists and a puppet

A coin is dropped

and puppet comes to life

Break for freedom

and a doll for prize

A coin is dropped

and a hat filled with candies

Two violins are crossed

and a train ride

with no one else on it

A coin is dropped

and balls are passed

One stretch

and glass is shattered

One more stretch

and some more

A black drop trickles

down the cheek

And the doll is dropped

beside the ballerina shoes

You have a dark side. I know it! You leave witty comments on everyone's blog and somehow when you start writing on your own one, your andar ka Mogambo comes to life. :P

Hmmmm... darkly delicious. My onveractive imagination went on overdrive with the imageries.

And yet.. reminded me of this beggar girl and man who I once saw performing at a railway station. The look in her eyes... as if nothing mattered anymore. No child should look like that!

Ankur said...

dark n sad yet so marvellous!!!

its an amazing read again, and it depicts the emotions so very well... :)

Cheers!!!

rantravereflect/ jane said...

wowwwww..
tat was dark n deliciously spine-chilling.. ya should pen lyrics for a death metal band :)
they'd die for ya lyrics..
i urge ya 2 pen poems more often- they have a ghastly innocence hiding mehind the ghost..

"a black drop trickles down the cheek, and the doll is dropped beside the ballerina shoes"- wowwwwww, it reminds me of kajal streaming down a malnourished child's face, and her glittery dreams shatter just like that coin dropping..

awesummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :)

Is this a horror movie?

kyamaloom said...

Bhai, I guess I don't need to say how much I loved this one.
Honestly this is one blog where since the time I've started reading it, I've loved all the newly born posts!

What a symbolic shot with every element used over here.
I can so visualize the entire scene line by line, and so want to project it through lenses. ;)

Hats off Saar! I'm working for a script for a short movie. Lets see how it finalizes. But you can surely be of great help. :D

kyamaloom said...

And yeh Johnny Depp bhaiya toh aur perfect lag rahe hain with the post. Add marta hun aapko kisi samajik vartalaap karne ki website pe. :P

broca's area said...

hmm...nice poem!!..[nice blog!:)]...[u a depp fan?]

chacha said...

ladke seriously good stuff...

hey one question, is this symbolic of somebody, don't really think so. But what were yo thinking about or experiencing when you wrote this. The bigger picture?, the source?, the reason of existence of the piece or rather the reason the post cam to life?

Crazy:
Thanks. And I told you that time also, that was something which I wrote when I was in the mood of writing something but not a story or a poem, this one's a deliberate attempt. And I'm glad that you liked it :D

Gonecase aka. Shutter Singh said...

Chacha:

firstly..abbe tu itti jaldi jaldi kaise updat karne lag gaya posts??

secondlyy... yaar kya vreative imagination hai..i mean how can you think like that unless u are in that situation ...main to agar to hilaane waali movie dekh loon tab kuch aisa sochun.. per sacchi bolun..mujhe samajh ni aaya.. per likha kiss intention se hai?

chacha said...

ohh ladke tabhi tu thik hai fir...
and one more point, it is not required to go through all the emotions(read miseries) to write about them, you are creative then, creative, poet and writer in true sense then...

Beauty and the BEast said...

A puppet silent, in the dusty stall
The only life at the carnival
The only noise; the winds of change
Everything is mute since the day they came

The laughter echoes now in memory
Emptiness a reminder of what had been
On wooden legs the puppet wakes
In forlorn hopes of another day

chacha said...

@beauty and the beast: good one

Gonecase aka. Shutter Singh said...

Samby:

Gonecase aka. Shutter Singh said...

Gonecase aka. Shutter Singh said...

Beauty and the beast:
Buried under the webs of time
Choked of life by hands of fate
In the dusty stalls of fare
Still glimmers a ray of hope

Thanks for dropping by :)

Beauty and the BEast said...

Of hopes and dreams and crystal balls
I dare not speak, lest a curse befall
Turning me into a heap of dust
Much before I have time to rust

P.S. Thanks Chacha!

"Sounds like a rocking guy".. somebody said for you, thought I should pass on the compliment

crasiezt said...

Just because I never said I'm your fan, just because I never said you sound like a rocking guy, doesn't mean I don't think so!

And just because I didn't say so you don't visit my blog any more:-( That's not fair buddy!!!
