Why not relinquish the consciousness to the darkness, a burden, an unwilling heaviness amidst morning A sharp contradiction of brightness and dormant emotions, enjoying the gloomy moments Pushing back sleep, the healthy desires, the space to dream of beautiful moments, even if they cannot fructify Defying the odds of them revisiting me, again and again, I fail to shut the door on them, knowing they … Continue reading Reluctant Waking Up
Pressed against time, beyond its limits Again, everything for gain, but losing its shape The creaky folds give out a warning Disturbing the uneasy silence Weighing down on the freedom of life Helpless earth, patterned with erratic movements Timeless echoes become louder Cutting through the fabricated reality ~Amitav Continue reading Against Time
How endearingly you unsettle the tranquillity Chide silence, and compel it to murmur fear Exploit the emotions unerringly; remorselessly Expressing the fatal contradictions convincingly Precious feelings become ordinary in the turmoil Perverse light affects the pure morning emotions Once insignificant, the errors become menacing The ostentatious display of arrogance is sinful Time shapes into a dagger and kills the dreams Frail remaining hope lost in … Continue reading The Bold Choices
The disturbances in the symphonic feelings Trying to restrain the soul from realising a worthwhile tune Not of the selfless pleasures of life, the simple happiness Only thinking about everyone else’s perceptions Stripped of the honest soul’s meanings, they are not your own Wrecked by the heavy words, the adamant sinking In the deep recesses of melancholy- feeble voices worry What are the chances of … Continue reading The Disorder
Thoughts skid across the awkward mind There are times when the mind is preoccupied with insane ideas Well, even the days could give up talking to the solitary one They say, “Leave him alone, as we are not allowed to peek.” Whether it is their curiosity or obstinacy to eavesdrop on someone What would it take to teach some etiquette to the indiscreet days? For … Continue reading Rushing Through
Waiting for that light to comfort sleep when the night is frighteningly dark. Even the mind cannot dare to imagine a new dream; its solitude drifts towards another reality. A meek passage to escape the expanse of a dark dramatic deluge that threatens to erode the shrinking space. From where the cultic thoughts arose is difficult to trace, but one can never be allowed to … Continue reading The Darkness that is Difficult
Sometimes the quaintness of hell one has to settle for Well disguised, the motives; abducted by the alluring feel Hands of Hades, or the spirit willing to take this course Happens, when the cunning mists obscure the reality World’s fortune transforms into that menacing rapid Slippery and hazy, the life tumbles down helplessly Raised hands signal the heavens; in prayer for rescue Beautiful dreams in … Continue reading Unsettling
Lamenting Sun pulls down the curtains There is solace to be found in this new found darkness Preferable silence over the discomforting fables Foibles of the day are enough to unsettle the rhythm Spasms! The day contorts due to uncomfortable questions Propositions of scandalous desires Let it all settle down; they will sink deeper and taint Still, this stillness will rescue the advance of such … Continue reading As The Curtains Come Down
When was nature requested to bloom and reveal all the hues If it was not from love, but an inconsiderate expectation Probably, nature has deliberately forgotten to satisfy the demands With some fanciful clamour of vulgarity resonating persistently There cannot be a peaceful existence when there’s wantonness Time hoodwinks the onlookers with a mysterious transformation Never has a rude destiny brought satisfaction, abundance, and glory … Continue reading Alienating Nature
Timid thoughts dare to run the course Wants to disentangle from the intimidations Of being called names by the unknown voices O’er there, the solitude is overbearing Foamy skies darken the spirit of the day Unknown sorcery wields the sinister wand Not all the forces here are friendly to life Incisive time scythes the emergence of new Dismal thoughts translated with dreadful ink Nothing moves, … Continue reading Timidity
