I tried, but no one was listening to me, earlier it was those scornful looks Now, I do not exist, my opinions are dead, my shadow isn’t trampled by anyone either There is no friendly light that can even feebly help save my shadow You know, to communicate my feelings- where have my feelings been so alien Never embraced by anyone, I started doubting my … Continue reading What if No One Listens…
Some walk out when darkness calls, hoping to meet some other soul to share their stories Here, I play hide n seek with darkness, hoping it would not find me at all Never find out about my existence, but still encircle like an insane entity I have not acquired anything, so don’t trouble me with anymore unwanted dreams Sneak in, and plunder my peace and … Continue reading Hide n Seek with Darkness
The innate spirit travels not in a linear way Not about the lineage either, but free-spirited experiments to understand the truth Constraints of time, the entire body spins in a clockwise rhythm Natural harmony, the cosmic cadence, robbed of all senses and pleasures No more contemplation after birth, but conditioned to react to disturbing stimuli Split between to existences, one prefers the quiet corner of … Continue reading Worldly Blocks of Spirited Travel
Adjusting to the sudden luminous celebrations Missing the controls; preferably, a dimmer, a more sombre space I yearn for Pages exposed long enough scorched, looks pale, my emotions half-burnt and ashened I feel ashamed to sit through the spurious spurt in anomalies My skin feels the burn as I shiver in utter despair in rented darkness Looking for a place to retire, to recuperate, dissolve … Continue reading Mighty Dazzle
It is tiring to sleep in a haze, a strong presence of a pandemonium Restive moments feel like a surge of an anxious moment lurking within Waiting for the night to spill over and seep deeper through the chasm All this is familiar, the stimuli of unwarranted interests and curiosity When they are eager to mess around with someone in a cocoon Seeking individuation through … Continue reading Clichéd Dreams
Looks like it is disconcerting to walk around with an empty crucible When the world is bustling with it’s share of woes and triumphs So many events and shows, entertainment and distractions, performances and glaring spotlights Like a world has opened its doors for little sparks of extravaganza In one little corner of the world, somewhere, there still exists loneliness Doors slammed against the bits … Continue reading What do you do when thoughts avoid you…
Do not be awake to honor the clocks Here and there, measuring life like stern sentinels Sometimes warns us, restricts the adventure Even before I contemplate being a wanderlust Time spies on us, the most ancient spy on earth Confessions of our vulnerability tricked by time Seek healing from time? It knows every grain of secrets Keeps us distracted by the setting up of events … Continue reading Being Awake
The lonely soul is lonelier in a formless world Surrounded by a haze, the tranquil waves of across a thoughtless mind Lonely time follow the cosmic flow around a bend, a steep descent Nothingness embraces again like a mother’s womb Deeper into an eternal sleep for unknown eons Loneliness heals while an out of sync era transcends An escape after a long history of turmoil … Continue reading Evolution of Loneliness
Is there a tree where different types of fruits tempt you, but there is that one fruit missing, the one you love the most. You remember the tenderness, the succulent feel that satiated your soul. Yet, this tree crowded with fruits, burdened branches where crowds rush in, as if this is a miracle. One tree can yield so many different fruits, but the hunger for … Continue reading Observing the Tree
Overpowering silence survived the chaos Feeble stirrings disguised their feelings before dawn Waking up lonely and empty while greeted by mundane mornings It was the wickedness of time that restricted any passage Emotions stopped reminiscing the missed opportunities Some paths never meet but come closer at a bend Different travellers determined to reach a destination Wary looks and hurried greetings are escape routes Delayed aches … Continue reading Delayed Love
