Uninvited-A Poem
All That Happens
Determined delusion drape destiny… damp dreary deadpan reality Words warble, warning waves wearily- whipping, wrestling, wrath Across ages, apparitions appear appallingly; apocalyptic afflictions Truth travels tantalizingly through themes thwarted- taunting time Cantankerous caricatures capitulate- citing charlatans’ credibility ~Amitav Continue reading All That Happens
Moments Beyond
Sometimes the recurrent themes become intensely boring Coagulated thoughts around the consciousness is a hurdle Those repetitive moments wound themselves in an odd pattern Apologetically reading them, for the eyes censure Even the mind disconnects from the familiar unimaginative narratives Such manuscripts pile up like the stoic hillocks Unresponsive and imposing as well, but they tend to be a hurdle How long does one look … Continue reading Moments Beyond
During Those Times
During one of those inattentive times, arcane thoughts settle somewhere Illustrious days are no more, now they are taken over by lethargy and laments It is treachery! It is not even wild purity, but a degraded sentiment Layers the skies and artefacts that are being carved and destroyed by another Is there an attempt to amuse everyone with some kind of nonsense? Strong curiosity and … Continue reading During Those Times
Letters
Letters are difficult to find nowadays When everything was poured into those words They were not authors or poets Only simple words in cursive held hands Entrusted with delivering the most intimate speeches They meant so much to the reader The eyes would reflect on the sentences Sometimes, more than once, even for a lifetime Will be kept away as precious jewels in a handmade … Continue reading Letters
Unearthed
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
Feelings About Poetry
Poetry is being written in large numbers, but scarcely discussed. I feel poetry is not read carefully, but literally. The flaws in the nature of reading a poetic piece turn into the general discourse that leaves the poet aside. The words are no doubt important, the essence of poetry is in the poet’s nature of artistic craft which transforms the words into important notes; just … Continue reading Feelings About Poetry
Some Moments of Unrest
Some moments are remembered in the epics, repeatedly We can only understand their fragments from recitations Different voices, rhythm, and the spirits of those passages It is not about mistrust, but the interpretations are different Sometimes elaborate, others believe in brevity, while some are cryptic Narrated in nebulous moments, while others, in daring light Breezy readings, as if the entire epic reveals itself easily Most … Continue reading Some Moments of Unrest
Outrageous
Savage solutions never help to clear the pile of disasters Digging deeper, an abyss right beneath your feet, the ground betrays Lethal positions, the sensationalism of human acceptance With a farcical tone, the values are never addressed but humiliated Constraints of consciousness; the indoctrinated mind awakens Every touch, potential friction to aggravate the situation Aiming for extreme freedom- look at the rubble and rhetoric Foul … Continue reading Outrageous
