Return Ticket Poem by Vijay Sai R
Return Ticket
Fleeing forcefully in speeds of unmentionable limits,
the soul, lifting and pulling itself from its occupant,
traveling in criss-cross paths of darkly lit tunnels,
settled in a place of undisclosed destination,
where I searched for my forefathers, but could never find,
When a strange echo put me through a triplet of questions,
to one, which I responded, it said,
this is the one I expected,
and to another, it said,
you are the only one to give this answer,
When someone called me by my name twice,
I heard, it ordered,
take him back to where he belongs,
in a split of a second,
I realized,
I am back to where I belong!
*A patients narration of how his soul traveled through unknown destinations when he is being operated in a theatre and how it returned back after operation is crafted.
This poem disposes the reader to a lot of imagery - packed full. Until i reached the end I was thinking maybe this was a memory of a birth experience, if there is such a thing. Anyway, quite a trip.
If you travel in Chennai Autos you can experience the same effect. Nice Poem.
This one caught me off guard. Lol not saying that In a bad way. I love the out of the box thinking put into this one! The idea itself is amazing. Wonderfully expressed
Could n0t grasp the idea of the poem but the rhythm is good, Thanks for sharing
Cosmic idea... That is something out of our common perception of life.
soul travel? some spiritual experience... the level of experience of this novel is good. it gives us a view of the continuum of life.. on the level of verse and rhythm, it does not strike me as a strong poem. I appreciate the experience all the same
