Experiments with unsteady reality, in it but not without Exposed soul gets spasms, an oft repeated journey through some diabolical tunnel Primeval spirits still unawakened at this hour of vulnerability and grave insouciance Challenging each other to get entangled into a dystopian pattern Those who slow down or lack the passion to indulge in fornicate with untamed delusions Social pariahs, “aren’t their conditions mentioned in … Continue reading With Nothing On
Time recedes, shadow diminishes, lights fickle, I am satisfied when there’s fewer interference Becoming less involved in mere interpretations and interactions; I like the pause, where all the moving images slow down, some grainy memories vanish too Life is less definable, I do not even know the keywords anymore; I do not fill in the lengthy blanks with abbreviated emotions I cannot explain anymore, but … Continue reading Receding- A Poem
Night contemplated taking away the dreams farther I cannot risk the comfort of a numb darkness… indifferent time and region Some spaces are anomalies, like sunken areas, where I have fallen I can recognize myself, the language I speak, even as I struggle outside the realm Impassive faces and cold souls, there are languid movements, but no progress Have I missed the time? Forgotten to … Continue reading A World of Two Nights- A Poem
The mirrored reflectionA defiant stillness of inner chaosAges have not mellowed the soul yetForsaken the warnings of timeTransient remembrance of lightning realizationsSoon forgotten, the pursuit of beguiling dreamsBroken and tired willCreating frantically, carving out from the vortexTemerity of challenging timeThe still piercing gaze of reflectionsUnfazed by the worldly tusslesEnmity between soulsUnraveling the accursed fateReflections of unrepentant existenceImpetuous journey, fighting reflections© Amitav Chowdhury Continue reading The Reflections-A Poem
Evergreen floats on the overcast reflections Dense time and its late ripples, the expanding circumferences Slowed down, but it feels awkward when its time to reminisce Turning time to suit my existence is a dream that spirals around Like a serpentine reality wounding itself, stifling my breaths Consuming me, while I try connecting the blurry points Grappling with the echoes of forgotten epoch, a present … Continue reading The Shadows that Float
The thoughts ariseBut man cannot think themselves out of themDefective patterns, daily trials, by an unknown forceNothing can be discussed anymore without the volatile responsesEager eyes, not anymore, lascivious visionsLooking for the darkest hours to evoke unsettling dreamsThe thoughts ariseMan cannot rein in the urge to imagineProvocative and out of controlTypical replies, a culture that has been numbingTo each other they lie, disguise in the … Continue reading The Thoughts Arise
It was not even close to being a day! The shortest and most complex moment which was carrying a little portion of the night and early hours of a gloomy time. Waking up with a startle; well, that was not a new experience, but the dream, the sequence, and images evaporated from the mind sooner than expected. It was like inquiring about the ephemeral experience … Continue reading Another Morning
Inside the house, but it feels I am nowhere near my home That I had in my dreams; it is a place, where I rest but thoughts flit about Edgy doors and windows unsure of the sentiments A growing contradiction is visible- weather outside is indifferent The night will be over, the morning will arrive on time Life will knock at the door and pull … Continue reading At Home
Is it only a faint faith in life that can give clarity? Placing yourself in the most difficult turns to a blurry road While you cannot stand sincere criticism Surrendering to the untruthful stories; a greater manipulation You assume life to be only that is being whispered Senses lured by the guile of a misdirected crowd Fear of standing alone, seeking peacefully- not fearless enough … Continue reading Choosing a Way
Like to believe that changes do occur It feels unnerving- their intentions unreal Certainly, it will change… raise concerns too As if like a premonition; senses crawl Beneath a fearful body worried about being Amidst fearful weather funnelling down A deep chasm of discontent- insatiable hunger Always arriving at an incompatible time Posing danger and obliterating resistance Wrongful turn- a fate entwined in turmoil No … Continue reading Nothing Changes- Time Transforms
