The Loss, the Devalued Journey

Its that you possess is being taken away Leaving you with fewer senses and weaker consciousness Distracted and disillusioned by the energetic contradictions Now the feeble thoughts do not inspire any actions Not vigilant anymore during the daily trials Of a fate surrendered or snatched away by dark shadows Watered down language cannot protest the accusations Diminished path of weary travelers against a parched landscape … Continue reading The Loss, the Devalued Journey

Unable to Determine

Our imaginations wish to believe in the beautiful manifestation of nature Dreamers, idlers, and innocent vagabonds always think of being there When communications fail and conscience dictates in a firm language Revolting time shuts down the consciousness too Another reality makes an appearance, but the mirrors are unable to reflect It can be a depressing revelation We are perpetually frozen in an antithetical dream All … Continue reading Unable to Determine

Time Visits

Time visits with so many offers Moments of surprises, moods, and revelation As if a mysterious box holds them all Seasons change and life takes unknown turns Still, the past clings to it There is no immediate escape From the efforts of time to vanquish life Is that the source of persistent rancour? Sometimes solitude is chased Not as a destination to rest, but to … Continue reading Time Visits

The Emphasis

There is much more emphasis on lies to build a narrative Written in charcoal hues, the papers surrender to the deep smudges Bold claims along with wild promises form the letters in a convoluted pattern Expected to chant, memorise, and propagate them with passion Now, the tongue too has a darker shade of the language; their inflexion is also an indication The path they are … Continue reading The Emphasis

Retreat

Wisdom retreats at the hint of the setting sun Unhallowed time trickles down at a steady pace Through space and reality offended by darkness Not the archetypes, but an alternate manifestation Some magician’s interesting twist to the moment Now there is time to interpret the phobic gloom Whence flows time from the conduit of fear The course of time derides remnants of wisdom Apparitions speak … Continue reading Retreat

Of Fury

It is not about feeding on anger and trying to digest it entirely, but also the adverse effects it has on the innards. There is a conviction that you will stomach it without being affected by its composition; the sense of anger being palatable and regularly feeding on it can cause a dietary aberration. The sudden churning in the abdomen may be neglected, but on … Continue reading Of Fury

Writing

If you Consider…

If you consider the process of writing, it may feel pointless, lethargic, and indescribably excruciating. A story never starts with the idea of convincing anyone; not even the writer. The genesis of a plot, be it poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, can surprisingly spring from a forgotten moment. Time slows down, no doubt; there is an overwhelming moment when so many ideas rush towards the seemingly … Continue reading If you Consider…

Insufficient Explanations

The explanations wear off, casual references wake up dreary reasons Interrogations by wildly confident ideas concocted in the laboratory Contradictions for mere puerile behaviour create a ragged conclusion The inclusion of plenty of audacious conspiracies to outlaw the senses Inherited problems are modified for vilifying the contemporary times Mannerisms and schisms pull away the differences further in a frenzy ~Amitav Continue reading Insufficient Explanations

Fragmented

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

Who Blinks

Who blinks first? One who mocks nature or when nature upturns all the dreams Where that bitterness has time to mingle with the multitude Withering love and eroding elegance; fate mocks the mysterious attitude Of cursing the silence and solitude; dar’st everyone challenges the universe Speaking in wretched language, the sentiments of meanest nature Bearing the dull load through the journey There’s no time to … Continue reading Who Blinks
