Night exploits the timorous light while the universe is busy surrendering As reality blends into a blinding cavern, to never appear again Tomorrow will be hidden like a secret message, yields it not to everyone, elusive Rarely its true nature evolves, before another darkness magically prepares a concoction Of rare lights, unfinished events and stories, souls yearning to decipher the undisclosed fate Reflections like apparitions … Continue reading Manipulative Darkness
Nought! Utter those words, feel those emotions, they’re purely yours, takes courage to spill them over Already too much turmoil, spaces encroached with trivialities, a trick to lure, away from reality Whence do you gather that courage, a timely intervention to escape the prolonged drought Lines and passages do not have a promised contract, literary journeys are lonely; face your own chaos Not the best … Continue reading Incentives
If not you have been still and thought about the primordial darkness When thoughts were not born, only silence deep, divine stirrings of existence Time was not segregated, but a flow through the meditative cosmos Stays in our minds, deeper in the unexplored word, within, vast unknown A struggle of existence, while the soul seeks in the wintry darkness It is an existence, infinite cycles … Continue reading What you Seek in the Dark
Setting the time back, pushing fate towards an endless chasm Diabolical intentions of hastening retreat after defeating the soul, its surrender, fatal Time is a curse, caught in the cyclical nature of follies, of mankind ignorant of life and light Weakening the energy, no more warm vibes, but a dangerous coldness grips the world Enough hiding the bitter truth, a psychological thriller, mendacious propaganda Trying … Continue reading Inglorious
A disconcerting contradiction of finding comfort in chaos Absurd ambition! Without losing the centre, of the presence, the sense of being There is a chasm, a sinister void, threatened by the whirlwind, a directionless journey Missing the core essence of existence! Wishing the wild desires like wildfires threatening the landscape I don’t owe you an explanation where I seek comfort, the shore where my destination … Continue reading Comfort in Chaos
The reflections disperse and dissolve, arrested by the ripples, the scruples and fading imageries Unfriendly time, timelessness and nothingness remain relevant, descended horizon, half Moon and unadjusted darkness Lopsided discussions, crude observations and lamentations, mirror images, trapped ideologies, lack of breathing space Even before I fade, I feel dazed by an uncomfortable presence, persistence of a tiring conflict, among existence, in a pattern of complicated … Continue reading Fading
You cannot dictate my dreams, my commitment to imagine beyond this reality forced on me Fail! But you have not evolved to accept your failures, like each soul tormented at the defeat, yet, rising again to bludgeon my dreams It’s a dysfunctional spectacle, enough said, what grotesque power can transform those souls into My love for my dreams, the soul I want to surrender to … Continue reading Failure
I’m skillless while trying to elaborate the ordinaryFind less exciting drawing the usual reflectionsOf an excessively adorned mundanity that life isStoring the emotions in some forgotten dark spacesLearning the foibles of love that cannot endure the comparisonsEulogizing the empty sympathy with tedious speechesDressed by time, the garish overtures of striking the age into perspectiveFrom the persistent emptiness and fragile emotions, a craving for the unreal Being … Continue reading Skillless-A Poem
It is tiring to seek and bring back the forsaken moments Some journey cannot be planned while being true to yourself Time has transformed the soul, quite different from earlier reflections Unrecognizable to the forlorn eyes; now comfortable with the melancholy Breathing that familiar air, now only few breaths can survive This world has a consistency of a different nature of emotions Changes have unravelled … Continue reading Directions
