Absurd Days

Days start with trepidation, vain lies and lazy expectationsSupine dreamers in a world caught in chaotic web Our own work of ambition, the development looks like concentric circlesAs if consciousness spirals in a certain domain Unaware of other dimensions, change feels repetitive, arrested freedomSome rare references of brilliance, borrowed from passages of melancholic expressionsDarkness with frankness, unabated passion stolen from the fierce opposersWhen they had … Continue reading Absurd Days

Listening too Late

I should have listened to the inner warningsReduced the volumes outside, pulled myself away from the repetitionsBefore habits destroyed the transformation of lifeNot too late though, now I have realized that I relied on conformityHow every idea form a complex clot in the system, resembling a ball of tense nervesIt happens, when too much worthless ideas are poured across the channelsHoping to sail across, a … Continue reading Listening too Late

Seeking a Space

Silent hysteria of seasons, celebration of being away from everythingEvery day might feel similar, unaware, the leap is beyond the mundaneInsignificant pulsations birth another dimension of lifeOne cannot reason out of the world, some insanity is absolute blissProsaic images stretch themselves through a tunnel of timeImaginations framed, the colors might be missing, or run out of bordersMismatched dreams harasses the dreamer…it’s confusing to detail the … Continue reading Seeking a Space

Radio Silence

Not even a whistle as the wind blows through the idlenessShadows have been playful, they play hide n seekNot really a daydream, but a slice of another realityWithin, everything is quiet, now less curious about tomorrowIt comes…wish, silence was more meaningfulQuaint reflections, only glimpses, nothing substantialNothingness being amplified, but consciousness is enjoying a recessWorried about those stories- they may vanish without a traceStoryteller’s fear is … Continue reading Radio Silence

The Struggle is Real

Living yourself, only with your dreams can be a lonely strugglePressured into adopting an image, a character defined by societyPeople complain if masks when rarely they get an honest replyLove damaged by vagueness until all the layered disguises wear off Not in a lifetime, may be luckier if you probe deeperStrange, when eccentricities turn into a diabolical game While born, the soul begins its struggle … Continue reading The Struggle is Real

Cure the Pain

Sapless day, words scattered here and there like distraught emotions Knelt before an unsparing timeHoping for auspicious signs, as long as this body can bear the heatFeels stifled; the unbearable stillness evaporatesTears of pained earth dries up- sometimes pain is unexplainableNature’s hardened landscapes offer no solace Eyes drift beyond the consciousness, hoping to find magical changeUndoing the harsh treatment of existence is an arduous taskIf … Continue reading Cure the Pain
