A dreadful dream of everything bowing due to intense pressure
A grim desire to be in a pride posture and look scornfully
The dishevelled reality will be pulled away and folded
Discarded somewhere in a dilapidated structure- a reminder of past conflicts
Yes, the clocks are too tired to move ahead at a frantic pace
The feeble tick-tock announces the dreary moments
One by one, the half-open doors close; looks like the domino effect
Those shy curious faces hide behind them forever
Disappears the human interest from any new dreams
They are perceived to be ill-omen, from the unknown world
Hope feels alien to the residents of persistent dreariness
Paper-thin courage is unable to resist the gust of melancholy
Slender structures fall unceremoniously, as if, they too bow down

Thoughtful words, Amitav.
Going along with the popular sentiment, we feel the time running frantically when the balance wheel weighs down on the positive pole and vice-versa. It’s amazing to watch how the external milieu changes through the prism of our mood swings. When one is happy, the whole world seems like a spring canvas, bright and blooming. And when one is gloomy, everything looks like a sepia-tinted canvas 🙂

Thank you so much, Deepa! ☺
Mind is so powerful and we are yet to realise its potential. Engaged with mundane and traditional beliefs, we fail to see or feel anything beyond this reality. Time, I feel, is a constraint; given the definition set by us. When time and space is in perfect harmony, the true reality emerges.
As you rightly said, we are affected by the extrinsic factors and manifest the turmoil in various ways. The behavioral anomalies and incoherence leads to obsession with negativity and melancholy.
