ship-wreck











Rested in a deep dark nook,
Of the immortal ocean.
Retired. Relinquished.
Devoid of any emotion.

Wooden hopes,
Already given in to decay.
Iron memories,
Slowly being eaten away.

Life and essence gone,
A dead world inside is preserved.
Doomed till eternity,
For unknown sins to be served.

Some seek after me,
It's more of curiosity
Less of sympathy.

Ship-wreck
Is what remains of me.

  3. It is indeed curiosity that makes us probe into things of past, and to dig up past.

    Nice thought.

  4. Actually, I feel intrigued by these lines..

    Some seek after me,
    It's more of curiosity
    Less of sympathy.


    Does it mean that you like it this way or it is a subtle observation which you wanted to mention here. I ask this (and you can choose not to answer) because somehow I think these lines are incomplete and something unsaid has been intentionally not written...may be...

    I could get the meaning of the rest of the sentences..but felt that the meaning of the above sentences is a little obscured...

    Rest is all great... :-)
