Out Casted



Out casted
(One single Impression - Prompt : Oubliette)

They all left
Never to look back,
Leaving him alone..

Out casted.

He
Restless.. ..lonely….cursing…..suffering….
Confined to himself,
In oubliette.      
Nights darker & longer,
& tears heavier.

Gradually….
Reality sinks in.
He is calmer….


Silent…..


Having passed through those dark nights
now
He rejoices in twilight of   space  within.

He no more curses
He has empathy for them….

For all.

He is no more alone.

Very nice Harshad...

'that inner struggle and after some tears, loneliness, solitude...' you have overcome that oubliette-like situation...call it a willingness to survive...

Thank you for your comment. I can relate to your 'outcasted' poem having had my apparently wicked poem removed from this site.
Should I oubliette myself?:)

You expressed a progression of feelings here very well. From dispair to hope and/or calmness.
I also like the way you incorporate your blog name into the poems. That is limiting, though, right?

Harshad, I'm liking your progression here. From absolute destitution to a calm acceptance.
When he remembers who he is and what he is capable of the true person comes from within to rescue his mind. Not his body, no rescue there. It may rot in darkness in that dismal place.
