Frayed time looks pugnaciously over an extended gloominess Smudged smiles, furrows run deep across the eccentric actions of mankind Sways of time, indifferent weather and an impatient excitement runs deep Across scrambling feelings; even the little pauses jolt them out of a reverie For those who have pushed back and withdrawn from the incessant chaos Might have discovered another world of unlit passion with ancient … Continue reading When Paused
At the sight of first light, even before all other eyes are ready to dream Of a future that is obedient to the desires, and think of closing the boundaries How they will advance is discussed excitedly, philosophically and apprehensively Emotions are poured in a vessel in anticipation of a favourable potion Life can tame time and redirect it through a convoluted space; an artificial … Continue reading Another Route
Let’s dissociate from everything and allow myself the freedom to idle the mind. I want to interpret the hypocrisy that I have been dealing with. To be honest, I cannot arrive at an original thought if I engage with the craftiness of boisterous surrounding. I can spare my feelings from the ignominy of accepting the lies that are delivered every day through various mediums. The … Continue reading Dissociation
You never really wake up It is still a dreamlike situation, where reality fades away Like an unnamed river rushing towards the deepest cavern Numerous compulsions to realize a common dream Keeping away the precious ones, but rarely spoken about Eroding the equilibrium- the reality is not interchangeable At the peak of a hectic day, it sometimes feels like waking up A sudden jolt from … Continue reading Waking Up
Correspondences at night have more clarity As the crowds disperse There is a kind of transparency when masks fall off The discomfort eases a little Little scope to fool around with the darkness Persuasively pulls the real character out Glorified struggles take shelter somewhere Leaving the character bare- unnecessary liabilities So many feelings escape the commotion A cumbersome day misdirects the soul Night returns every … Continue reading When Darkness Has Clarity
A sulking evening is held feebly by the fading light Stories of a day frivolously spent narrate only spite Always a trembling insincerity while visiting a place Celebrations everywhere, but the heart has a grimace Azure skies have been less hopeful earlier in the day Distressed feel from a journey of travellers who stray Slanting light flows into a tremulous and loosened earth Traveller’s memories … Continue reading Fading Somewhere
Lights have been long gone Glitches of time or modernity struck by lightning Complete darkness; an evening flinches Used to flashiness and bytes of noisy media Candles that have been forgotten Kept away in a dark corner- just a fancy buying Now, it becomes essential To rush towards that nondescript place Nervous fingers tackle the forgotten items Once lit, they seem magical; medieval too It … Continue reading Dispel the Darkness
Grave silence flows into another world Moment of reckoning! Time breathes laboriously There was no scope to contemplate Flashes of consciousness blur everything Sick thoughts and woes against a truth Everything flows towards the unknown conduit Reverse flow towards another beginning ~Amitav Continue reading Flows that Silence
Sighs saunter along the garden streaked with melancholic colours When dreams are difficult to attain at the peak of evolving turmoil A garden loses touch with the beauty of life and colours fade too soon Languorous season lean against the grey sky to signal early slumber Frantic ripples now settle down deep into the hidden vortex of the stream The growing restlessness reflected intermittently in … Continue reading The Sighs
Silent brooding turns into an uncomfortable tradition of creating a situation With words first, then the emotions start articulating discomfort with language Words drag the mind from the gloomy silence to the centre of conflict and speculations When silence become hard as a rock, it weighs on the soul with its troublesome attitude Deep indentations blemish the once pristine environment of solitary dwelling Every day, the unravelling … Continue reading Silent Contemplations
