The existence delays its rent, it owes a lot to Time, spent force, a delayed start and incoherent response to the morning Almost a fancy disguise to avoid the probing glances of time, a messenger running synchronously with a tired journeyer Out of the fancy little spaces, spilling over to the crowded extravaganza, every little soul claustrophobic within the modern designs Plans, not according to … Continue reading Claustrophobia
Paroxysms translate the restlessness, and peace is not pleasurable Painful it may occur, but there are numerous instances of broken promises Deliberate actions contrary to the soft-spoken assurances, but lies evolve Again and again, because furious feelings are unsettling, extremely melancholic Manic winds pass through the wretched and wrecked environments Lifeless, harsh, and devastatingly greedy to demolish the scarce abundance Depleted landscapes, brittle trees, poisoned … Continue reading Deprived
Cannot reduce the glowing sun Hold it in greedy hands Stare at it with lusty eyes Glower at the bright morning Whilst feeling gloomy within Alas! Feel helpless? Become aware of human frailty Glory and gratitude is truth Insignificant facade across the earth Cannot obliterate the truth Embrace eternity? The mirage of lies will vanish Myriad desires like shifting sands Erase all the untruths ~Amitav Continue reading Cannot Be
Caught between the true reflections and illusions There is a danger in adjusting the perceptions According to the crafty mirrors creating apparitions Life settles between the wrinkles- reminiscing quietly Toiling away during unearthly hours; till the last breath Tricks the clocks to move toward an unsure reality Of all the abysses, the one of fearful nothingness is perilous Unaware of what life will be beyond … Continue reading Entangled
None can prophesise about the night Or, about what darkness with it will bring Numbed senses do not feel any more Unaware, full of fear, walks directionless Humility is not reflected as a virtue Life’s synonyms are erroneous- appear disarrayed There are mighty claims about untruths Feeble souls speak in an uncouth decibel Problems treble amidst mindless existence Only fragments and absurd arguments Night freezes the … Continue reading Unclear Time
Those who walk along not to support, but create barriers Listen to the most important desires, decode them in a convenient way Their privilege to interpret in an unfair manner, in inadequate language Appearing and disappearing as conveniently possible Implausible meanings added like uncomfortable appendages Describing changes that will be interfering with daily dreams Partisan thoughts seeded generously- a dishonourable act Unable to prove to … Continue reading Not In Rhythm Anymore
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
Silly defiance scrapes through every settled alternative Slipping further into a state of turmoil- harsh times ahead Stories nebulous, a decry… all truths have to be obliterated Signs of forgotten memories, missing ages, unclear narratives Stiffened hearts have to bear the burden of explicit lies Straddling across the undulating and rough paths is uneasy Stupefying ignorance- defies all the reasons from other ages Striking indifferences, … Continue reading Stunning Imbalance
It is not about the silence, but the tone it bears You can be artful in dealing with everyone’s emotions Unaware of the feelings that perish within In the eternal scope of existence, only animosity Tireless agitations and evolved heartless comments A kind of leap towards oblivion… unavailable spaces This silence is fatal; follows an unbecoming end Trite race, uncomfortable silence, and regret None can … Continue reading The Uncomfortable Zone
You have woven the lies masterfully to enervate the environment Without being distressed over rapidly eroding trust from the soil Roots are losing the instinct to go deeper and find their strongest region A willful surrender, too often struck down by the inimical stories Every day you have to quit… although, there is enough time to crawl Across rough terrains, on bruised knees, and pain … Continue reading Nothing But Surrender
