Poet appears before a worrisome world Conceive the power to convey the essential feelings Truth isn’t ephemeral and love is the eternal mother The clenched world has to relent and release the emotions Looking at the blank pages for some inspiration To raise some eternal moments devised by the universe Accursed seasons shall weaken and fade away The prayer composed by the poet for soul’s … Continue reading Benediction
If you really wish to write you have to fall in love with the language. There is no other escape other than to surrender every day to it. If not, there will be a time when feelings crowd your heart and question you for not expressing them adequately. They will keep tormenting you, and your writing will appear wobbly; nervous writing usually doesn’t do justice to those passionate feelings. When you look within as a writer, to seek inspiration, reminisce, … Continue reading If you Wish to Write
A fantastic poem by Shalini Some days, some wicked thoughts… Reigning them in, is the only way Some days, some wicked thoughts Holding them close, keeps them at bay Some days, some wicked thoughts Though they go far to make my day Some days, some wicked thoughts Like a witch’s cackle, they started in May Some days, some wicked thoughts Lest they boil, I have … Continue reading Wicked Thoughts- A Poem
Perceived through the eyes of a poseur Guilefully cultivated visions that appear to dazzle the hungry eyes Smoky skies obscure the hollowness Quavering voices learn to pulsate with the undivinely rhythm Fabulous poisons disguised as the flowing enchantress Hoping to flow through the thirsty spirits waiting to satiate parched hearts While bitter abysses overflow; a rare phenomenon of a deluge From the world of grisly … Continue reading Poseur’s Fatalism
Don’t crawl through distorted perceptions, for all, it may be a twisted, shape-shifting labyrinth, capable of squeezing out the life force mercilessly. From (un)truths are birthed numerous demons who gnaw the intellects. It is not a classical warning or some historical excerpt, but a reality of clarity to precisely read the characteristics of such perspectives. ~Amitav Continue reading Crawling through Perceptions
Don’t labour your mind because of the intransigent thoughts around Fill the heart with remorse and paint the day with a melancholic colour Colonies of vermins may have hollowed the souvenirs of close sentiments Now the canvas has been lit up with obstinate lights igniting flaring designs Paths mired in most sinister controversies are strangulated remorselessly Travelling without the helpful thoughts is to journey in … Continue reading Stubborn Thoughts
Lies love to betray love as love lies in a disheveled manner For there is no antidote for those lies, but an unwilling ailment grips the heart Surrounded by the nemesis, there’s no way love can wake up soon Faithless prayers won’t urge the universe to intervene to settle the ultimate treachery ~Amitav Continue reading Love, Lies, and Treachery
We cannot seek a safe abode when we are on a mission to destroy the invaluable relationship with nature. While there is much rhetoric about its well-being, there are those belligerent enough to call every such effort to be a drivel. Remember, the adults are troublemakers; disrupting and destroying not only nature but the fragile ecosystem of life. We are bullying and trolling nature and … Continue reading What the Farce
Cunningly, time changes the environment that is unbecoming As if, some banished thoughts have breached the particles; changing their pattern and behaviour Some secret vault may have been opened to unleash them One sinister night wished to be the gracious host to this unfathomably woeful transformation The intention may be to mock the universe and derive some evil pleasure from this impious celebration Saddened fate … Continue reading Cunning Time
There will be an attempt to drain the life of vital forces with all sorts of negative thoughts and actions that will disrupt the flow of life from time to time. Storytelling of the distorted types will inculcate aggressive thought processes, only to jeopardise the internal mechanism of perceiving life from a completely antithetical viewpoint. Gradually the lethargy sets in; to take control of the mind to influence and tutor it to decide on some inelegant actions … Continue reading More than Storytelling
