Whatever there is, at the depths of the mind Do they exist outside as well? Or, could they be some parallel entity that a mind is unwilling to reveal With an excessively curious world, where they could take them away Crafted with rudimentary tools and shape them oddly There’s no chance of consummate care while handling such rare gems All that is natural, stays immaculate … Continue reading Existential
Where cryptic sarcasm are sold at cheaper values Words mangled and moulded in a sensational pattern Wild, wild, and wild, the decibels decide their share Not here to buy what is being sold, just a reconnaissance Of what is being bargained for; devalued values set Against some diabolical worth of currency in coffers Sarcasm goes to the highest bidder who peddles them Frequently at the … Continue reading What’s Valued
It is fallacious to think that character is for a masque display Express wonder and applause at all the dialogues and monologues Entertain various interpretations of the masks of each character Distractions of potent illusions and their rehearsed spontaneity Filled with strangeness, the stage is ignited with a tempestuous feel A forced tragedy fortify the plot with numerous ways of deceit What is so rich … Continue reading A Fallacy
Feigning love to feel the pulse of this eternal image Created by one, for many eyes to understand its real love When worlds are living, the thoughts cannot be inert Whoever has inserted them into the mind is an impostor Mischiefs in their mind transform into cannibal nature It is wise to protect the mind from those swarming creatures Before the eyes can open, they … Continue reading Clear the Reflection
Why stretch yourself so far in the past and seek among the lost years No wings are eager to fly back into the mysterious realms of time Although its shades do not diminish easily, one can try expunging them slowly One has to decide on planting the saplings away from the remaining darkness For them to strengthen their roots and branch with freedom and hope … Continue reading Lost Time

Do the heavens rest or woken up by the fiery spirit While earth echoes the concerns of that fiery unrest Prescient nature halts for a moment to interpret the quest When will heavens open up to rain down some light Maybe the time isn’t favourable now till descent of night Reading those eyes for some foreknowledge require … Continue reading Blazing Eyes
If not the thoughts are left alone when alone in contemplation Moving swiftly through them in an effort to create hundred other ways to escape Urging the spirit to lose its way in the complicated labyrinth Weighing each one of them of their merit and even leaving some of them aside, unattended It is sinful to do so while seeking that transient happiness? If not … Continue reading With the Thoughts
It’s vain to nourish the soul with jealousy and pride The self-traitorous one wants to snatch away someone else’s morsels Innermost greed weakens life’s forces and consumes the soul like ravenous termites Vainglorious wisdom set-off the unfortunate events of destruction Insalubrious mind wouldn’t mind unleashing a tirade against freedom and love Ignorance is unrepentant; a hardened heart and crumbly soul is perfidious Avaricious dreams devour … Continue reading It’s Vain
A pen without ink is worthless But extremely lethal too Sitting there in idleness waiting to wield its dangerous nature Like an unforgiving rapier draws deep furrows across helpless blank pages Transforms into a monster Extreme psychotic behaviour; runs amok like a naked sword Distraught and wounded pages Are reminders of a pen without feelings Evils are born from sulking and deep rage Never allow … Continue reading Pen
Veneration for the improbable one who can transform this conception That a mind obeys some diktats of nebulous images of figureheads Shrouded in mysterious senses, with many faces in banal masks While there are numerous possibilities embedded in a real sense of being Wily conceptions alter the reality with engineered seeds; criminality and liability Unhindered vandalism of truth stimulates the rocks to shudder The archfiend … Continue reading Conception
