Adopted Thoughts

No even boundaries, unclear spaces with blurry imaginations, struggle with mundane reflections Routine thoughts, nothing provokes the mind- they do not stir up the senses, gasping for some freedom From the forced ideas, the experiences they everyone else has had, incomplete inferences Obsession with the unknown, the extravagant efforts to trespass time, this warped reality While reflections have exploited the vulnerabilities, desperation to outperform the … Continue reading Adopted Thoughts

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

Fragile Dreams

Fragile shell, of which, the shattered pieces are strewn there Couldn’t bear the tenacious lies; prevalent through the seasons Every Spring the heart reflects on a new dream, but distant it remains Somehow, they rush towards the untimely winter… frozen melancholy It is man’s laborious work to deny the visions of the Maker The kind of consciousness amplifies anthropomorphic distortions Often, the hasty journeys carry … Continue reading Fragile Dreams

Diminishing

How does one adust the vision according to the day’s demands Is there a scope, even a slim one, to provide some promising image Considering the light has not been tampered with Some intentions of the darkness’ have been duplicated since What is that liberty of thoughts that you speak of In the stale breath, that speaks in some offending language Clearly, it is a … Continue reading Diminishing

The Stretched Thoughts

Are those thoughts really durable enough Or just sticky and stretchy to mess around the surfaces Some enthusiasm is born of prolonged boredom Leaping out of a tiring reverie like a lost dolphin in the sea How would one believe that the world is not the same anymore? Few yesterday’s have transformed it into a swirling mess Every day, the rotation creates a long narrative … Continue reading The Stretched Thoughts

Different Tales

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

Through The Window

It is not always that one has to stand near the window to keep an eye on the world Even when barely open, the world just rushes in with scattered voices of stresses The dialogues may only be partially translated, but the sentiments seem to create a stir The window has to adjust its opening and allow the other half of the dialogues to let … Continue reading Through The Window

What could the Day offer…

Nothing that the day could offer, but life has to wait outside the door like a weary visitor. Each day forms the accordion and blow out the worthy sentiments with force. Discordant notes fill the air with a vengeance, but one cannot complain; while expected to sing along, reiterate, and glorify them, the rhythm is set at a different level. Pure perfumes are drowned in … Continue reading What could the Day offer…

Escapes

How many escapes it would take to close the doors on all the escape routes? Feeling like a prankster, who wishes to befuddle the truth by running away Many disguises and excuses, masks and sly speeches, are not enough The self-imposed wall waiting for those hands to puncture them for an escape Each of them unique portals to a dark land of delusion and defeat … Continue reading Escapes
