A Drowned Man’s Reminiscence

Gradually began the submerging. So slowly,
Hands shook and struggled with
The hardened water.
Damn agitation with craving fear for life.
Life-sick.
A date with death, unspecified.
My legs crouched. Chilled a little
Due to the freezing cold. Snowdrops fallen on the water surface.
White. And dark.
Underwater.
The limbs stopped for a silent enslavement
I fagged. Stopped motion.
Eyes protruded. Hands wavered, Heart chill cold.
Decreasing energy. Breathed. Breathed.
Exhausted. Choked
Starving Oxygen.
The water drank me, As I
Drank the water. Salty
Fainting fortunes, feverishly.
The silken thread connecting the
Conscious and unconscious broke.
A few eras elapsed....
Pavements on a path towards an unknown land
Where apparitions move forth.
Dirty smell of sinking ships.
Algae. Amphibians.
A conscious blackout.
Apparition again. Pavements clean.
Bluish tinted fog. Blurring images.
A palace ahead. A hooded figure of a man, I thought
Death comes for a row.
An encounter with death.
Inviting charm and a coarse voice of ancientness.
Total Blackout.
I drowned.
