The pain, an architect, a construct where I have had to lose myself Looking for a way when reason fades and seasons vulnerable to the times There are no wrongs, I have not chosen left or right, a diversion that I created through the facade Being on a journey, but dragged back by memories Every single moment, starting early isn’t enough; wish I find the … Continue reading Find A Way
Nought! Utter those words, feel those emotions, they’re purely yours, takes courage to spill them over Already too much turmoil, spaces encroached with trivialities, a trick to lure, away from reality Whence do you gather that courage, a timely intervention to escape the prolonged drought Lines and passages do not have a promised contract, literary journeys are lonely; face your own chaos Not the best … Continue reading Incentives
Sift the differences It’s a tedious process When life is being pulled apart By the stubborn distractions One can only rely on courage So, one can hope Look through the finer details They all tell a different tale ~Amitav Continue reading Different Tales
Transgressions of a silent type All that happens is silence, with resilience Memories cleansed by wailing Thus, surrendered to the flow There’s not much hope in the morrow Sorrow, the world joins All that negativity could gather The courage to be curious About a feeble heart; waylaid Whispers become crisper Cuts mercilessly through the silence Changes are uncertain But time is inimical and clinical Meek … Continue reading Transgressions
How kindly you hold on to the cold As if your dear feelings are settled deep Gliding those words of comfort, but they freeze You try to warm them further Whatever you can gather from the scant weather Even the dwindling fire from your soul Just to save them from the harsh times It aches, it does; you hide it from the world You loathe … Continue reading What the Winter Holds
The evenings aren’t content, yesterday, and today too In between, the day plunged due to the diurnal routine Darkness grumbles about the spaces being ceded casually There is no one to allay the fears that gather courage Turbulent shadows hum the sinister subliminal tune Fumes the nature of change- horizon blazes ominously The paths are unsure and life chases across dim alleys Built on so … Continue reading Uneasy Confluence
A salubrious spirit and the independence it seeks Won’t remain a tenant here, it decides to flourish Transform with the influences of independence From that same tradition, wish to flourish eternally Spirit of life ought not be usurped unceremoniously Of remaining under constant scrutiny of tyranny Suffer from the choleric moments and bitterness Fallow lands always yields insensitivity and anger Sympathies cannot be an ephemeral … Continue reading In True Spirit
Impassive eyes reflect the world in dreary colours A world it has become, of torment, and heavy with daily feuds No freedom to travel anymore, but to pray in disguise Burdened tales are narrated by the anguished tongue Thinned blood flow under the slackened skin A brutal world avows to avenge the altruism of eternal world All the songs and stories of love and courage … Continue reading One has to Wander
Walls are not porous and the ceiling bears the weight of frantic paces The study seems lethargic and the books give off a smell that burns the nose Old charm once, have now become too rancid from being consulted obsessively Choosing a corner is not a reprieve from the blank stares of the harangued walls Once when they were fresh and anticipated some vibrant conversations … Continue reading Courage to Dream
Embracing love out of fear Perils of putting the feelings into a trap Fear of love and love for fear- a Machiavellian reflection Neither love is justified nor fear addressed Intimate harangue continue to destroy It’s a bloody battle of foolishness Intelligence weaned away by flattery Trapped feet won’t allow the journey Fighting yourself does not battle fear Deceptions and disguise erase reality Renaissance times appear every … Continue reading About Love
