On the deserted land, barren and shamed, hoping for the return of pulsation Ears on the ground sometimes, looking East, days collapse on the West’s tired cradle Hopeful of the night, fewer stars, a confused and tired soul wishes a clearer sky Dense consciousness, lonelier stillness, closed eyes and prayers in the heart Waiting to reconnect, retrace the paths forgotten over time, historical blunders Passages … Continue reading Pitter-patter
How impatiently the contemplations have been, from untidy thoughts the feelings have rooted themselves Spoiling the paradise! The involution, across the vast desertification Intense heat and scorched times, volatile clocks wait watch over the impatient dreamers Dealing with fatalism, the unpardonable mistakes; a display of destruction like a celebration A tumultuous existence, an existential extravagance causing the early death of dreams Infirm roots easily uprooted, … Continue reading Impatience
My curled up days, the fetal position, when days give a slender chance Stubborn chill the amplified shrill amidst a silent uprising of desires Staring at the primeval fears when cosmic churning are vigorous Blank spaces have become aggressive and possessive, it a wild chase Up there, beyond the clouds, much deeper into the celestial abyss Change of consciousness, a new plan is written on … Continue reading Is this a New Awakening
Oh-so incredibly perplexing the order of the events Tired of rearranging them; they settle on their own On unsettled segments created by irregular lines When boundaries look like feverish insecurities Unfamiliar nights vehemently lure the restless soul There are no remedies for a trembling world Shrouded in the inscrutable mystery of incognito time Stillness of the watches bury the vibrancy of life Living through laboured … Continue reading There is Fear
Pinching out from the rotting layers Spreading them across the fragile cloth Fragments of forgotten time between the fingers Bending down for a closer look Is that still a reality which can be compared? Decayed time smells unpleasant Surrendered to the immense pressures of change All those ill-fated clocks have been abandoned The fragile cloth cowers after some time What else could be revealed? Trite … Continue reading Unearthed
Even the most prolific ones feel they should have said more! The silent repentance, the fumbling for words affects them too. What an affliction! There are times that coil up uncomfortably around the emotions and rarely allows them to articulate freely. It feels like desertification! Suddenly, the barren and harsh moments wither the emotions prematurely. The aperture of the eyes gives a silent treatment to … Continue reading The Hostile Climate
Through the ages the Earth’s reply is unheard Suitable questions never arise from dread and fear Every night the dreams disappear in a world absurd Morning’s brightness does reflect on a life austere As dawn turns into chaos, rest of the feelings aren’t heard Selfish fear and loathsome behaviour impales like a spear For lack of imaginations the profound silence is stirred The inconsistencies limit … Continue reading Remains Unheard
Mountains, the enormous vaults of nature Safekeeping the eternal legends from indiscriminate destruction Rogue particles of a world gone awry can rebel anytime Change is an inevitable truth, but mere consciousness cannot comprehend An outrage is a reflection of the fear of the unknown Seeking all possible ways to propitiate the umbrage against change This relationship is communicated in nature’s cryptic language One can reason … Continue reading Unfathomable
A hunchbacked hillock gives specific identity to the region The identity of who carved this has been always a mystery Couldn’t the craftsman reach higher to chisel the crown On a bed of rocks, it meditates, unaware of the worldly pain Looks indifferent to first-time travellers Wait, till the tranquil cave is found in the earth’s deep womb The positive vibes resonate clearly, welcoming and … Continue reading Arched Rocks
When clouds build up with intensity, the monstrosity is striking Only to melt away in a torrential expression of unsaid feelings Magnanimity of the Earth will absorb the furious nature; giving them passage They will flow quietly like pacified child deep in its embrace Between two contradictions the mortal eyes wonder about its true nature ~Amitav Continue reading In Nature
