The evenings aren’t content, yesterday, and today too In between, the day plunged due to the diurnal routine Darkness grumbles about the spaces being ceded casually There is no one to allay the fears that gather courage Turbulent shadows hum the sinister subliminal tune Fumes the nature of change- horizon blazes ominously The paths are unsure and life chases across dim alleys Built on so … Continue reading Uneasy Confluence
Lack of sense in sensible things- all things have been grouped It has become a thing to stretch the groups from the sycophantic amalgamation Of all things, emotions and their being is also at the centre of controversy Scarce reflections, creepy deflections, foul breath torment the blooming ones Painted alluringly, the colours of subservience steal the independence of eyes Garrulous groups gather to gossip and … Continue reading Listless Things
Write to give a legitimate voice to the words. It is essential to find the most appropriate words to synchronise with the soul. The apathy towards good vocabulary undermines the authenticity of that voice. The pretentiousness of feelings does not glamorise the words but leaves them with a half-hearted and feeble nature. It is a concern when writing becomes impatient, directionless, and absurd due to … Continue reading Why Write
When nothing stirs and it feels the time has deserted the world Borders are blurred, eyes feel lazy to vision any fruitful dreams There are no more stories for now; the mind babbles still Speaking of new adventures with the birth of a sober morning This orb is not made of glass for it to be shattered by foolishness Mundane work anaesthetise the mind, one … Continue reading Of Nothing
We aren’t safe behind walls, but we are safer if we trust each other and accept the differences. Storytelling can help all the voices to contribute to humanity’s story. We can all listen and understand our purpose to become aware. The fact that we emphasize the differences and colour them with our illogical perceptions is an impediment to building a bridge to connect different thoughts. … Continue reading We Shape our Future
If the best possible thoughts are taken in a strictly negative way, it becomes a constant challenge to sustain life with pessimism. The lack of deconstruction of thoughts and every opportunity to fill the mind with negativity can obfuscate clear reasoning. Free flow of negativity slows the course of life. Contributing to negativity cannot be a sustainable idea for life. There are times when positive … Continue reading Sustainable Thoughts
It was the test of times and the restive moments were conspiring against the docile feelings that were just trying to survive. As if time were plaited uncomfortably with two distinctly opposite sentiments. There isn’t any reason for life to become restless when there are silence and harmony. Still moments always seem to stir the worst possible emotions; as if the mind is caught between … Continue reading Testing Time
The forsaken truth lieth under an enormous shroud Weird wildness, the clime ascends towards an unknown realm Obscure images lure the eyes through an unlit space Unfamiliar with the dullness of this intensity, vision feels mislead An idea of toppling the truth has become an obsession Lonesome sky flares up and surges ahead with rare fury Outspread time becomes insubstantial- the pause is stifling If … Continue reading Reticent Dreams
Interpretation of darkness with clarity is laborious Shadows become an obstacle; the mystery loiters to spread gossips Simply finding the faces is a challenge and voices speak of vices Feet move unheeded and the ground feels aloof The disconcerting disconnect, a lure of uncanny feelings All the doors are shut- of all the uninviting houses with gloomy lights It’s a pity one cannot reach the … Continue reading The Soul of Darkness
Writing is about immediate survival from the strong emotions which threaten to create turmoil, but the writings that emerge from that struggle survive the turbulent times. Writing is about the courage to persistently present the principles of survival, hope, and dignity in a creative way. It is your immediate ingenuity that can either sink a narrative or give them strength to sail through turbulent times. … Continue reading Survival of Writing
