The world loves to be amused by hollow professions, to be deceived by flattering appearances, to live in a state of hallucination; and can forgive everything but the plain, downright, simple, honest truth. -William Hazlitt Continue reading Easy Deception
They were not faint beliefs… persuasive and relentless Even chases your shadow at the dawn of faintest hour Bothersome, because they interfere with your dreams Stripping off the fine disguise of life and exposing lies Dreams as a child are more meaningful and beatific Adulthood brings its own woes and apprehensions Becoming irksome… the character still believes Those faint beliefs at the oddest hours of … Continue reading After Contemplations
That intense euphoria may not be what it seems to be Consisting of extreme sadness, exaggerated by a faulty reflection It becomes difficult visualising the entire canvas… the unreasonable fusion of colours Alone, it dawns with a gloomy truthfulness- the stark reality of grief Upending an entire life with a mere push of impulsiveness Everything that once had splendour is covered with an incoherent sheet … Continue reading The Unreasonable
Hope is a temporary feeling, but persistently knocks the door It has its own reasons to mediate with the obdurate reality Tempers simmer… the days feel excruciatingly longer than they are Of shapes and distortions, objects and their rigid edges Painful manoeuvring through shrinking spaces- spiteful paths Opening them for anyone, without understanding their disguise Guile slithers through the pristine world of hope and love … Continue reading Hoping
How many escapes it would take to close the doors on all the escape routes? Feeling like a prankster, who wishes to befuddle the truth by running away Many disguises and excuses, masks and sly speeches, are not enough The self-imposed wall waiting for those hands to puncture them for an escape Each of them unique portals to a dark land of delusion and defeat … Continue reading Escapes
Men strut around with ignorance like a fine plumage Learn some fancy language by repeating and memorising When cities are full of unreal dreams; lights severely truncated Dialogues curated by the adorable and stupid minds Since everyone starts to loiter around the same premises From there starts a synchronised march of the crowded mess Tinkering along the way with individuals like a game of chess … Continue reading Unfolding Drama
The defiled walls waiting for that moment When profane thoughts will be confiscated and discarded Life cringes at the attempts to create a satire from sarcasm Chasm between the life and numerous convulsions of the mind Grind the residues of profanity and swallow Callow senses catapult themselves to the highest position Through revenge, vengeance, manipulations, and exploitations Misaligned minds without the inherent human sensibilities Seek … Continue reading Fragmented
The inextinguishable time that keeps reminding about the beauty of life Cursed lies always hyper courageously trying to discriminate the truthfulness A spiral world slowly awakens to blossom another reality; a delightful one Celestial flame guides the vital life through the contradictory and defaming journey To believe in the reality that is forgotten- of truth, glory, humility, self-realisation Those who jeer, caricature, condemn, humiliate to … Continue reading When the World Awakens
Is time wicked or it senses the fickleness in the air Of fictitious reality intercepting the unrighteous thoughts Muses aren’t amused by the stories that follow None can reign the winds spawned by evil forces Lies travel with immoral intent across the dark territories Awakened by the sinister chants from deep caverns Conspires with the rogue time of some malefic age A cold breath of … Continue reading Vile Time
Looking for permanence in a world that firmly believes in rapid erosion of moments Briefly held near the eyes, before they are taken away for reasons unbeknown to man It difficult reading hastily changing faces and holding on to slowness during times of urgency The killing of desires is a violent act too; “But it’s only desires being slayed”, says a stoic voice Searching for … Continue reading Impermanence
