Flaccid ideas create a trail- an uninspiring landscape Mere selfish thoughts are wound tightly; a strenuous life Jealously burns longer than the lights of the day Singes the beautiful night too- dreams run away Life is a mere formality as it stretches feebly over a reality Poor language emerges the only means of communication It fails- only misapprehensions and failed relationships Carnivals of mindless frivolities … Continue reading Where it Begins
Impatience provides a momentary euphoria Rigours of silence when the world is talking in an indecipherable language Surprises of joy from an unknown source slipped between life and you Beguiled by the slippery path that journeys through insecurity The treasures of the soul forcefully taken away by masked brigands Once, they felt like eager hands of friendship; but, they became hostile Lamenting about the loss, … Continue reading Scattered
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

With leaden thoughts trying to contort and fit in a box Claustrophobic freedom, yet there’s so much anticipation Pruned; to be fixed with some other branching thoughts Without the luxury sunshine, dependent on artificial lights Gleefully prancing around the boxed world Timed existence; always hurried and educated to follow the clock The chorus sounds strange within the confines High frequency of anxiety dancing around in … Continue reading Rise
Trapped in shadows, the feeble winter sun gives that feeling of aloofness Heart is willing to daydream about the charismatic season and calmly observe The winter’s slumber and delicate images across the idling moments It seems, time necessarily decides to slacken the pace to alleviate the pain Another dimension comes into existence and witnessed by mortal eyes Everything that feels trapped now is thoughtfully embraced … Continue reading Pause
Love lights up the cosmic chandeliers Eyes search for hidden emotions; unfolding the soft crepe An obscure silence overhears unheard passion Faintness illumined by quintessence celebrations Desires burn every obstacle, before plunging into nothingness Petulant world vanishes with the magician’s wish Love eclipses the momentary frivolous narratives Eternal chandeliers lights up a magnificent world ~Amitav Continue reading Magnificence
There are times when we do not seek time’s assent Trying to negate an illusion that is essential to keep track Open palm, few lines that criss-cross as perception of fate There are no engravings on eternity’s soul, Yet we etch deep patterns of sorrow on our heart along the way Failing to hold on to innocence, only glimpses of it in retrospect Churning in … Continue reading Times

Wrapped in eternal light The warmth urges you to forget Travails of the symbolic world Speechless, unable to convey the feeling When silence makes emphatic reasoning Light propels the mind to a higher realm Phases of the day blend around you Life has a new realization When it takes root deeper into your soul Only dreams shall be nurtured Branches will reach for the skies … Continue reading Life- A Realization
