The justifications of unjustifiable, the absurdity of lies Speaking at inappropriate moments in a debased language Cringe-worthy exaggerations of body language Like the magician’s distractionary tricks to pull off a show The urgency of deception crafts many masks skillfully Who are they? Whom to believe? Is there no one to whom one can speak without being ridiculed Silent, but that scathing judgemental eyes grabbing the … Continue reading Chaotic Order
Wedged between heaps of ignorance Where does one find momentary sanity Thoughts, like dust, settles inconspicuously Trapped with many other particles Incoherent, insouciant, and incisively destructive Devouring the soft fabric, till it looks ragged Some idiot must have planned all this Thinking of switching off the consciousness Seeking clemency at the precipice of foolishness Wild dance, celebrations of absurdness ~Amitav Continue reading The Futility of Seeking
Silently, this time speaks of willing surrender in nature’s language Shedding the colours, like it is a tribute to the earth that is about to become wintry Hold the precious feelings closer to the bosom, somewhere, keep them warm Nurture them deep in the soul, for they can have boundless energy to spring in joy Shy twilight goes home earlier, waiting to be wrapped in … Continue reading The Silent Transformation
The truth does not change with the sunrise and sunset It is there, omnipresent; visible to some, felt by others In there, deep somewhere in the being, when life is quiet Sometimes when the day fades and transforms Into a celestial beauty; there, look into her eyes Angelic, cryptic, and shrouded in mystery of that truth One cannot deny but defy at the daring insistence … Continue reading Timeless Truth
Trying to see above and beyond won’t extend the neck any further Desires of fugitive eyes pull the idle mind towards an anticipated mayhem The defunct compass, the shattered integrity, and heavy breaths of fiends All the delinquent reasons to quench the thirst with some unknown potion Dissolving the remaining reasons of morality to completely subjugate Ruthless desires stretch the neck beyond the boundaries of … Continue reading Beyond Expectations
The universe is clothed in profoundness, brilliance, clarity, wonder, magic To the mind that wishes to settle in the darkness who cannot experience them all Marvel that this life is, becomes a burden with the adoption of troublesome thoughts Sliced between two realities, the thin balance is incredibly a tricky time to negotiate Diffusing negativity and shadows thereafter menacingly drive life towards obscurity Vital nature … Continue reading Distressing Reality
Curtains lifeless, the bed indifferent and less caring to the supine body Eyes startled, and maybe a little lost too, survey the sharp corners of the room Contrasts bring out the disproportionateness of a life that is yet to come out of a reverie At times like this, the senses are half-awakened, but the mind is quite frantic Searching for that meaning beyond the discrepancies … Continue reading Contrasting Reality
The defiled walls waiting for that moment When profane thoughts will be confiscated and discarded Life cringes at the attempts to create a satire from sarcasm Chasm between the life and numerous convulsions of the mind Grind the residues of profanity and swallow Callow senses catapult themselves to the highest position Through revenge, vengeance, manipulations, and exploitations Misaligned minds without the inherent human sensibilities Seek … Continue reading Fragmented
The spirit wishes to be nestled in silence and stare at morning’s gentleness Not the fragmented reflections, but the light pure from a celestial soul Tender cold embraces the being and the morning warmth rescues Perhaps, the discrepancies arise from a different state of existence Synchrony with the inner spirit and universe is not magical, but truth Of a reflection from it becomes an image … Continue reading Promising Outlook
Poetry explained is poetry weakened. Let my curiousness allow me to read poetry without the unnecessary introductions and explanations. The lure of poetry has to be such with the right amount of emotions and metaphors. If I am influenced by the lengthy prelude and that orchestrates my imagination and interest in a poem, I won’t be able to experience the metaphors with freedom. A poet’s … Continue reading Poetry (Un)Explained
