They have been looking for the groundless reality Taken flight with weak wings and soared through ominous clouds Bellowing their wrath among the worldly extravagance Descendant stars will never be bright again or birthed Forever in the womb of an infinite void- the inconceivable truth Echoes through epochs of lost tribes and infertile existence Now they have taken a dangerous leap towards a tremulous future … Continue reading It Gets Away From Us- A Poem
You have the answers before the questions arise A lot of vague contemplations, the untrue memories and indignation Skillfully disguised in misdirection, a way paved with untruthful words Waiting for them to falter; strike the vulnerable at a tragic moment Unheard will be the silent shrieks of the soul in an upturned world The spiteful questions smeared with poison to impale the fallen Trample their … Continue reading The Decline
The revelry around the disharmonious reality No one minds their steps As more and more people join in or being pulled Looking to create a bunch of fortunes? The riddle becomes stranger Obsession with this chaos and wave of disaster Everyone arrives here with some dream Flattened and erased sooner Roaming around the world with self-doubts The children do not ask questions anymore ~Amitav Continue reading Why the Celebrations
There are days I am not willing to share my thoughts Like to be alone in a crowded scene and study every detail After staring for some time, the silhouettes start acting Reacting to the intense occurrences, as an individual Trying to construct a separate world, and yet, connect Comment on the popular topics of the day; political stirrings Although the voices try to be … Continue reading When Thoughts Fail
There are no compensations to forego the precious moments Calling the darkness shades over a sprightly day Unprecedented void threatens to create a menacing scene For the fearful eyes… awake through a tumultuous time Deprived of sleep, awakening dreams, pure feelings Mysteries like ancient cobwebs decorate the frightened corners All are urged to wake up during the unearthly hours Innocent beings unwillingly witness scary events … Continue reading Waiting For
‘Twas the disarranged thoughts unwillingly present Assigned to delve into them, but days feel toilsome Clings to the peripheries… prophecies of a future Overthinking promises a solution- fabricated thoughts Constant friction does not smooth the journey Overt promises fall apart… surrendered too much Wise words appear to be fake; mysterious ways Expectations become ominous during forceful times ~Amitav Continue reading Failing to Rearrange
Unsettled and unresolved ages ago, they come to haunt again An apparition captures the entire consciousness- it is a surrender Not willingly; a power that is difficult to defeat and deny Feigned consciousness, the arrogance to deal with the changes Creates a vulnerable space through which the forces enter Such a wretched environment created from the fatal procession Nature begins to wilt- once that was … Continue reading Unsettling For Reality
A morning diluted with an extra dosage of bitterness Its fate is decided by the incidents that a world experiences Throughout the night, of relentless pain on humanity Honey, for extra sweetness, crystallised and quite stubborn What yields of nature, of which humans too, have done? The weather, the patterns of cynical transformations Roots deprived of nutrition and the soil of ancient toil News knocks … Continue reading How it Starts
Transgressions of a silent type All that happens is silence, with resilience Memories cleansed by wailing Thus, surrendered to the flow There’s not much hope in the morrow Sorrow, the world joins All that negativity could gather The courage to be curious About a feeble heart; waylaid Whispers become crisper Cuts mercilessly through the silence Changes are uncertain But time is inimical and clinical Meek … Continue reading Transgressions
What strikes the morning sky and ignites it The laments of the might before, or, freedom of light Kind of a lazy startle at the new awakening It takes patience to bid goodbye to sleep When dreams metamorphose from lament to hope An unwilling heart becomes an obstinate optimist To find the rhythm that’s authentic Only the heart knows, but the soul speaks too Eyes … Continue reading Following the Light
