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
Seeds broke open with the force of natureSpring at the time when wilderness was pureSeeking deeper, the stability, the deep-rooted knowledgeOnce that originated from the churning of the oceansNow, only traces of which man can seeMesmerized by the monstrous reflections that cloud the consciousnessDarkness weaves a sinister and fibrous ecosystem of fragile disastersForgotten reality of inception, now the intentions are suspectStrongest foundations revolt and uproot … Continue reading The Broken Promise
Waiting for something, the eyes are wide open Slumberous souls entangled in a wily web of time For a few moments the first light looks pleasant Insurmountable losses flow like coarse grains of sand Adjusting to the new language, a kind of consolation Emotions jostle there, deep in the soul, repentantly Nothing more to gather around the grave ditches Faint borders, but steely resolve of … Continue reading Helplessness
Adamant opinions raise the temper of an already flustered day Too many of them have joined the crowd, now almost resemble an overblown bubble Interesting to see how long the pressure remains subjugated by the reasons Mischievous hands are always there to unsettle the fragile relations Threads of relationships can barely keep the incensed environment under control The settling Sun is in despair, an unrecognizable … Continue reading Tensed Fragility
There is a flaw in our thinking process because we believe that glass is fragile. It shatters and lacerates the reflection, the images we hide from, and the reality of the prevalent world. The weather if filtered to give those eyes a false dream, or a changing canvas that represses the feelings and voices. None can gauge the health of glass, and its transformation to … Continue reading The Flaw and Reflections
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
Just carving is not enough How long can you go on creating something unimaginative? It becomes fragile in those hands Days are not enough, nights feel peeved of unnatural lights If only the eyes could focus and hands acquire that skill They slip away somewhere into the mysterious air Where desires are not in any relation Eyes glare at other creations in desperation Waiting to … Continue reading Not Enough
That was very narrow, yet, the feelings were squeezed inconveniently To gain passage, to the meadows of some inconspicuous imaginations Looking for freshness, brilliance, and cheerfulness- but overturned dreams Capsized feelings gasp for air; though, the vitiated air occupies the space Whatsoever was the dream, these are being excruciatingly passed through They are apparelled in oddly for the occasion- the journey wasn’t thought of Things … Continue reading Narrow Passage
A curious man’s complicated mixture of emotions stare from the fragile apparatus Strange dyes of the confabulated world mix like an enigmatic solution Intermingle in a serpentine manner, as if the desires of the man is aroused by some ogre’s charm The rancorous smell emanating from it fills the dingy room like a ravenous demon This may not be enough; if the soul and flowing … Continue reading Curious Complication
It is fallacious to think that character is for a masque display Express wonder and applause at all the dialogues and monologues Entertain various interpretations of the masks of each character Distractions of potent illusions and their rehearsed spontaneity Filled with strangeness, the stage is ignited with a tempestuous feel A forced tragedy fortify the plot with numerous ways of deceit What is so rich … Continue reading A Fallacy
