Yearning for the soft dreams, milder darkness and brighter starsRest my head again, feels heavy amidst the unnecessary bargainWhen spaces feel uncomfortable and I forget the reality of eternityWhy mornings should feel like an intruder, rays blinding, signs of rageSelfish pursuits that put uncrowned kings on pedestals All gathered here to rush and push, oddities of human natureMinds trapped between perceptions, written tenets, also, skewed … Continue reading To Dream Again
Perhaps only people who are capable of real togetherness have that look of being alone in the universe. The others have a certain stickiness, they stick to the mass.-D. H. Lawrence Continue reading Lonely World
An hour is too long, sometimes the clock seems tiredHere, souls hold their breath just before dawnFirst tip of light, a golden arrow shatters darkness’s mythBefore comprehending the changes, clocks speed up Life subsides, later shaken by untimely interferenceImpeding tranquility of a house, home yet to be a realityFinding solace between the splits of time, spaces of freedomLooking for that long pause and awakening before … Continue reading The Insignificant Time
All we are notstares backat what weare. – WH Auden Continue reading What we are Looking at
Dreary dreams demonized in details, an early warning echoes Strayed communications, the bilious environment, time defeats all Perished once, they come back in dreams, even shapes the future Dragging the suffered time once again, like a heavy shackle wound around reality One looks at the depths, some stare at the skies, unaware of what lies within Like lost traveler asking for directions; but unaware are … Continue reading Time Before Nothingness
Sometimes the proximity and familiarity with the future questions the past The past has either failed miserably or proven itself to be friendly Given some memories, also, prepared for the future, with a terse reminder of course Don’t lose the course, drift away with flimsy reasonings, or surrender to unreasonable depths Or, lose the soul and exist with a frame, a constitution with weakened senses … Continue reading Repetitions Gain Momentum
Wherever the mind sets, does it rise above the rest Journey is not about settling there, waiting for the sunrise Resurgence from the East, a squint of light, teasing the little gaps between the curtains Darkness retreats, somewhere, not judged by the prejudices All that plodding along the conservative ways returns to a void A circuitous path becomes a recurring theme in life, nothing yields … Continue reading Mindsets
Carelessly bypassing reality As if time has no hold on the truth A desperate rush, resembles a tornado Threatening the core of existence Nothing is memorable anymore Truths are mere experiments In a controlled environment Suspicious ingredients of warped world Like a double helix being fixed With new information, a cautionary tale Of being taught to ignore the signs Many, many more to arrive, devious … Continue reading Ignore
On the deserted land, barren and shamed, hoping for the return of pulsation Ears on the ground sometimes, looking East, days collapse on the West’s tired cradle Hopeful of the night, fewer stars, a confused and tired soul wishes a clearer sky Dense consciousness, lonelier stillness, closed eyes and prayers in the heart Waiting to reconnect, retrace the paths forgotten over time, historical blunders Passages … Continue reading Pitter-patter
I am busy with the characteristics of being extremely laid back during a busy time Over-embellished designs to keep time, faltering at the original concepts of existentialism Just being there, peeking above the haze, even down there, the earth does not divulge much An ornate interface that displays reality, errs, the overemphasized concepts defy the truth Staring at a screen full of disinformation tickles the … Continue reading Atrophy
