Strangeness is a poem written by Maryam H. Viqar and shared with The Ugly Writers for the month of June.
Strangeness
Last year’s Autumnal moon
Vanished
Into a dreary, monotonous day
Old melodies hummed Lastnight
Before sleep
Are forgotten
After one dream
Ruthlessly shattered
Into countless shards
Verses woven while gliding
In the dimly lit corridors
Between the two realms
Of sleep and consciousness
Are lost in the cruel haze
of wakefulness
Rhythmic Couplets writ once
Upon someone’s breath
Now distress like
Coarse cacophony
Words imprisoned, enchained into misery
All fountains have long ceased to flow
Even dreams fade
By morning Sun’s growing light
This time
when it passes
Shall leave me a stranger
To myself.
