I Am Hamlet No More Poem by Aimanu B. Ali

I Am Hamlet No More



A wild feeling crept into me
and wanted to yell, to holler out.
May be a drunk feeling
arose from a fascination
and the fright at the vast depth
of the sky or the towering height
from where everything down assumes
an ant like existence.
I felt like the solitary kite
soaring high in the sky.
I roused myself from meditation.
It was no more
the 'to be or not to be.'
I hated the Hamlet in me.
A storm began to rage in earnest.
I looked up at the lonesome sky,
a bright blue, placid.
In the gentlest of murmur
a voice said to me,
the storm would soon
dash through the air
the dark fear spreading out
tentacles like the Octopus.
At the edge of the mountain top
I spread out my arms like wings,
ready to explore
the vastness of the sky
and feel the freedom
of the wild wild wind.

a readable and enjoyable poem no doubt...the killing procrastination, and too in a bold soul can become a sound reason for such a composition...i love many things in a poem, the special ones are...a Metaphor and the flow...v.nice subjective poem...
