Inappropriate sleep takes me to a distant reality My spirit had neither thought of it during the recess Feeling of surrender to a predacious nature of sleep I could not get the time to express my disapproval A weak no from me did not hinder its plans From a fiendish journey, there’s no escape now Heavy eyelids, a numb body, mysterious rotation In me, the … Continue reading Trapped In Sleep
Attuned to the disharmonious process Awake, while the earth sleeps still Preparing for another journey to digress Darkness has the willingness to kill Lest the dreams speak out for freedom Nothing alike in the thoughts of two That’s a world waking without wisdom Drifting apart, the souls won’t woo Faltering language they can’t fathom Time goes wild in an unfruitful chase Precious feelings pay a … Continue reading In Vain
Familiar voices speaking of unrecognizable emotions As if there is nothing more joyous than discussing these On being asked more, the voices fumble and become distant Uncaringly leading the way, also, asking everyone to follow Towards fallow lands, while earthless feelings vanish Noises everywhere, but there is little sense in everything Walked into a trap without realising the true sentiment At the will of an … Continue reading Where It Leads Us…
Blithe spirit abandons the gloomy and immodest times Not shall wait for it to disintegrate in the deluge… timely reminder is a saviour At the proposed time, a decision Divine willfully guides the journey To the future that may have been visited in the profound dreams Time and again, a safe reminder towards the path of healing Disconnected from the drivel, the indifferences, and intolerance … Continue reading Before It Happens Again
As there are no plausible replies to the genuine queries Timeless ardour has settled elsewhere; there are only voids Indiscernible time wearies the nobility- only empty promises Initially, there are no guilty feelings, only euphoric desires Somewhere, deep down, there are docile pleasures Pretentious communications fail to convince the soul There is nothing to be bewildered anymore… only usual worries Unanswered questions, incarcerated heart, and … Continue reading Your Questions
I wouldn’t let them rush in, as my heart cannot reason The proliferation of change threatens to ravage tranquility Only apathy towards the reckless manifestations It is dreadful standing near the crumbling precipice Chaos pushes hard, unsettles the foothold Emerges that space, uncomfortably whimsical about life No promises to the fearful one; only panic amidst cheer Lusty eyes and satanic intent carry forward the reality … Continue reading Resistance
It is a dilemma- whether to remain sleepless in a busy world Or, be drowned in a celestial sleep and disconnect from time’s torment The kind of desperation cannot be fathomed I cannot be in a conflicting duality; a reality split by erroneous calculations Abandon the soul and venture out to a wild chase of inferior dreams Contribute to the conspiracies woven around to prove … Continue reading What to Settle For
The absurd waves have been screaming from far Now they surge ahead and threaten the tranquillity Doors have been closed and rooms erased of dreams Outdoors is home now, during inclement times No walls and divisions, but peace can be evasive Earlier, tight spaces restricted the freedom of time Absurdity compelled the world to feel smaller Where dreams would be contained in small sections There … Continue reading The Waves
Whispering words Tired words Struggling words Uncanny words Tragic words Condemning words Redacted words Where in the word is any space left for curing it? Diminishing chances, fading hope Scope to build on hubris Yes, accumulating debris The glitch in the minds Trying to overpower the space Constellations to be rewritten Fate repositioned Again, the words are not enough But the free will to desecrate … Continue reading Rogue Words
A moments lapse widens the chasm Yes, the journey continues through naysayers’ claims Paths riven with a force vigorous and pernicious When contemplated nothing, choices become violent Pledging over the banality- time utters new diktats Walking across the reality; a rhythm of silent rampage Lusty eyes speak of the diabolical dreams Cosmic silence is a mysterious language to interpret Cryptic signs, designs other-worldly, appear faintly … Continue reading Moments Lapse
