Morning smeared with the unsettling images That the first light has to endure; a perversion Brought upon by the reflections through cracked prisms Wild guesses on the patience of time Cracks are visible on the trampled pathways Inconsistencies, and sustained injuries by the actions Tremors of dysfunctional thoughts At the prime of indecent era- belligerence, anarchy Violating the sanctity of a brilliant morning Visible absurdities … Continue reading Inappropriate
No, these are not grandiose times Everything happens according to the time A habit, controlled by a powerful world Exaltation of a different reality here It burns; the body cannot bear the heat Dehydrated minds unable to nurture feelings Heartbeats echo the scared moments Very few precious things to possess Lamentations of unholy transformations Worldly possessions disintegrate Before they appeared like an apparition Killed the … Continue reading Unreliable
Truth is brutal, buried deep, prematurely It does have its way- finds the strength to go deeper Stays relevant! Becomes stronger, and restores itself against odds A society looks elsewhere- quite mesmerised by the anarchy Hoping to create something new from the wreckage Unaware, the roots of truth has a network everywhere Omnipresent after its unceremonious burial Ideas have been compromised… relentless indoctrination Inconvenienced by … Continue reading What Kind of Dream?
Rare chants of sanity amongst the qualms of humanity Widening fault lines; a deeper malaise that worries life Insensitive choices, tired consciousness, the antagonism Patterns of intolerance etched clearly through the ages Today, the past is dissected and interpreted in vicious words Lifting up the burden on fragile shoulders The frail constitution can barely withstand the stress Yet, stressing on the unsettling ideologies- a disaster … Continue reading A Cautionary Tale
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
Predatory words took away the best emotions During some unfanciful moments that allowed them in The sanctified world of a soul’s reverie Malicious eyes already put them in a vile hypnotic state Abandoned reasons along the way Losing faith in the emotions that nurtured the heart In troubled times, when the world becomes uncaring Cajoled by the ferocity; masked in some otherworldly charm Misguiding the … Continue reading Fate of Emotions
The relentless occurrences of hatred tell a lot about the choices that humans prefer. The arrogance, aggressiveness, anarchist attitude, and apathy towards fellow human beings contribute to the bankruptcy of common sense. When the mind is starved of the senses for a long time, it can be nourished with the ideas of hatred and destruction. The enthusiasm with which the beauty of existence spirals down … Continue reading Unfortunate
The unseen fear without realising the ghastly consequences All avenues lead the thronging consciousness towards that dilemma Guilty of not joining the commotion? Everything could be wrong if the coercion was unheeded and silence preferred Desires that are passioned like the majestic bull For carnage and mayhem that will follow across the unrepentant annihilation Fear spawns the devilish acts that slay indiscriminately; macabre deeds There … Continue reading Consequences of Fear- The Invisible and Visible
It’s not about the panegyric moments illuminating each word Delivered with a stylish accent amidst applaud and propaganda The demure, diligent, and defiant- an uninspiring combination Of the austere truth, speaking in a void, but resiliently escapes From the fraudulent frequency spectrum of amplified anarchy Where there is scant determination, but persistent intimidation Once there dwelt such trustworthy voices; now only fancy eulogies Ungentle leaning … Continue reading Proclivity
Hushed minds obsess over some trivialities; discouraging frigidness feels morose Picking up the impure particles to connect the dots and form a grainy picture Hands glued to the frames as if some magical adhesive is used to enslave them Disturbed sleep in hostile beds contort the body into some disconcerting shapes There’s not enough spine left to stand upright while walking around the chaotic kingdom … Continue reading Disorder
