Writer’s Odessey



With the luminous diamond
crown glorious gold star
and fame she voyage in the
ocean of literary world.

Soon popular among all the
wordsmith. Hunting with
her royal ink,
defeating her predators
well
she desires to fathom her
success ,
diving deeply for a treasure
hunt!

In the depth of aphotic zone
She gets lost in abyssal
plain,
but guided by her moral
sinew
She surfs on the surface,
surprise to witness
‘The ship of the pirate’s!

The corsair robbed the
crown
snatched medals and
kidnapped her muse!
leaving her lonely on the
shore.

In her dark solitude
She was broken without her
guiding friend
‘Her pride and ego hides in
shadow.

Her ink parched
and refused to flow
, ‘ she decides to travel
around the world
in search of her inspiration.

Travelling to the Red land
where the pirates drove, ‘
A landscape of sand, harsh
cacti and crumbling rocky
.
Atmosphere filled with
dunes ,
like a rattlesnake on hunt
,blindfolded her.

Spying on pirates,
When she reach the
gateway of pyramids and
shockingly finds her muse
being murdered and buried
in
‘the coffin of ancient
Pharaoh’

Anguished and
disheartened
starving and out of sight
for water
, the moon rises in hour
long syncope.

A loud voice wakes her up, ‘
The Sphinx
 guides her to
travel a new destination’
where she may charge
herself up and find a new
Eureka!

The Auburn Sphinx eye
levitate and teleport her to
the snowy cold desert.

Thick icebergs and glaciers
and fjords and mountains
with wild flowers
attracts her lost soul.

‘Capricious auroras pink
and green
like a dancing curtain over
the night sky,
facinates and channelize a
magnetic rhythm
to arouse creative mind, ‘

Reminding her the Auroric
verses of Emily’
her rusted ink, ready to
inscribe,
the journey
 of her fall and
 Rise! .
