Quotes about wizened, page 2
Rescue
Our love lies in a darkened room
Bleeding in the gloom.
A fresh faced maiden, aged and week
A bold young man now wizened and meek
Dying well before their age.
The sunlight fading from memories' page
Gasping like landed fish
Looking skyward for one more wish.
To touch again on midnight station
Escaping on that train- to nowhere
Kissing all the way.
So who will rescue?
Who holds a key
To save us from eternity
Alone in that darkened room
-Called home.

Cubicle
Through the window of my cubicle
I see the day graying into night
And a world I can’t reach.
I yearn to come out
If only to see the corpses of the day
That passed by me unnoticed
Turning my world old
Unlived, stale and cold!
I see the birds fossilized
The trees bare and wizened
Songs are stifled moans
People as aloof and distant as dead!
I was born in a warm cubicle
And destined for a life in it
To dream of day from the dark
And long for a world I can’t reach!

Marriage... fixed in time
With gathering wonder
I take within my eye
an ocean of diamonds
And rainbows that hold up the sky
Cliffs that stand sentinel
With feet in the sand
Time-wizened boundary
Between sea and the land
Mist is the icing
Frosting the wake
Of waves shattering the glassy
Silence as they break
Fog rides the tide in
With buttery grace
Then steals out again
To it’s hiding place

Ember In My Soul
Fire once raged fervent in my soul
A universe of potential and wonder
Needed nothing to bolster or console
Till growing older stole my thunder
Today slow and steady wins the race
Because body, mind, soul remember
All gets done although at slower pace
Within a wizened soul I fan an ember
The wisdom I offer can be debated
Some will scoff, others will take heed
Myth of “Golden years” is overrated
As every flower dies and goes to seed
The road of life is both cruel and kind
Only God knows that man is predefined

Word Flow
My mind spews an endless stream
Of words that flow 'n flow the more
Active mind filled with many dreams
A realm of fact, fiction, myth 'n lore
Who gives a damn what I think or utter
For men care not what I do or say
Alas, my bread is dry so pass the butter
For it’s my wizened soul I must obey
Condemn me not I only speak my truth
Words not meant to cause you hurt
Nay, that would clearly be uncouth
For it’s with your fertile mind I flirt
Relax my friend, watch my halo glow
Often happens when I let words flow

Memory Basket
The basket of memories
had started growing heavy
on my wizened hands.
The apples therein
looked as fresh as ever
Every fresh dropp of tear
added to their tone
Every latest spill of blood
improved their colour.
Few more yards on that
dimpled sandy shoal.
I can see the end
half clear; half blurred.
Somewhere I have to stop.
The roaring waves looked kindly
at me.

Arrival of the Newborn
Every birthday
I turn a year older
But when you wish
“Happy birthday,
Many happy returns of the day”
I feel younger than my age
And long to be here for
Eternity!
Inside me is a world
Unaffected by time
Outside the world changes
Faces grow old
Beautiful people become wizened
Every beauty comes to end of term
My eyes mirror all these.
I look for no shore
I don’t stand before the mirror
The transforming reflections
I abhor!
I love to live on

Story of An Unknown World
Peering down from the bed,
I see the carpeting below,
I see it burst with life aglow.
Unfurling before me, a mighty sea,
telling a world unknown's history,
of how it began.
On the sea was put a ban.
As midwives of the sea,
the winds upon the knees,
pulled apart the womb,
and the land they saw bloom.
Teeming with emptiness,
shouting with happiness,
born in the tumult of a fracas,
between forces higher,
and forces within
such land was set to last
and it's face was wizened fast.
The sea like a gourmand feasted

A Match With The Moon
WEARY already, weary miles to-night
I walked for bed: and so, to get some ease,
I dogged the flying moon with similes.
And like a wisp she doubled on my sight
In ponds; and caught in tree-tops like a kite;
And in a globe of film all liquorish
Swam full-faced like a silly silver fish;—
Last like a bubble shot the welkin's height
Where my road turned, and got behind me, and sent
My wizened shadow craning round at me,
And jeered, “So, step the measure,—one two three!”
And if I faced on her, looked innocent.
But just at parting, halfway down a dell,
She kissed me for good-night. So you'll not tell.

My Valentine Has Come Again!
Seated in togetherness,
Wizened by past experience,
Craving for things that we missed,
Yearning for those yester-years,
Staring at the firmament;
Pining for moments of love.
Shrugging off all bickering;
Forgetting all suffering;
Hugging endlessly entwined;
Daring for love we can’t reach!
The breeze reminds of former love;
The cloud patterns like heart of love;
The air we breathe seems fresh with love;
The time has stopped for now with love!
My Valentine has come again,
To fill my heart with love like rain,
And take me through a dreamy lane,
