Not In Rhythm Anymore

Those who walk along not to support, but create barriers Listen to the most important desires, decode them in a convenient way Their privilege to interpret in an unfair manner, in inadequate language Appearing and disappearing as conveniently possible Implausible meanings added like uncomfortable appendages Describing changes that will be interfering with daily dreams Partisan thoughts seeded generously- a dishonourable act Unable to prove to … Continue reading Not In Rhythm Anymore

From Stories that Emerge

Fables are real compared to the reality that births them Who can focus on life and probe its nature so patiently? Life’s truancy becomes unbearable even to the misbehaved boy How much muck can those hands gather? Deface and defame the facade of life with vulgar graffiti Unclean thoughts desecrate the mind at odd hours Abuse finds its legitimacy in mainstream communication A foolish mask … Continue reading From Stories that Emerge

Losing the Momentum

Grasp over reality slips away unceremoniously Sometimes there is an effort to hold them back in a stubborn way Mostly they disappear, leaving a sinister trace A backlash of time wakes up the otherwise unfelt existence Without remorse; there is always a sense of unknown anxiety Conveyed to others who are around There is an eerie frequency at which feelings are communicated Somewhere, the deep … Continue reading Losing the Momentum

The Infinite

Pray that you don’t have to justify time From time when you steal the precious moments The word ‘eternity’ seems to be a fairytale  Some unknown philosopher’s diary may have given it away Even, the cryptic hieroglyphs may have spoken silently Off the walls of ancient rituals that still stands Occultists may have had some different experience of eternity Misunderstood by inadequate translation and constrained … Continue reading The Infinite

The Crowd

Once you are absorbed by the crowd, you forget the yearning of solitude Cradled by the multitude, the thoughts go through a tumultuous time The intoxication of seeking approval by the myriad possibilities that are promised Frenzied delights the heart racing towards the masquerading euphoria  Ineffable persuasions lead to the enormous dome full of masked realities It was unexpected for the soul to feel alone … Continue reading The Crowd
