Who owns time, take the responsibility of winding them, set them right, straightening time, or looping it around another epoch Only if that would be enough to take the conversations to a different direction, as if cosmic time giving a pulsating push to the consciousness Sullied gardens, ruined paths, detrimental languages and evaporating water-bodies, thirsty souls taking dangerous detours The Sun shines, but it’s fury … Continue reading Missing Metaphors
After enabling the dismantling of life amidst blurry times Hostage feelings, dreadful moments travel surreptitiously Through the troubled veins, the jarred existence, and frailties Painting a wonderful lie with the artificial colours is an artistic disdain Climbing against the clamour, the hostile climes, bruise the body Unhealed heart and tremulous mind dreams of insufferable moments Where one goes wrong, and others follow like a delusional … Continue reading Being Enabled
Walled by the mirrors Reflections hate each other Tediousness creeps in Feelings claustrophobic Due to lack of air Freshness of variety Eyes feel dull Absorbing the images Oh! They are shrewd Won’t allow anyone To interpret- Except for those reflections Carefully attired By the same ideologies One addiction is enough They speak too much A comforting language Of self-praise and hatred Depending on the temper … Continue reading Between Reflections
As murmurs become thin, the patience of listening wanes An imaginary bridge seems precarious and becomes a reality Stretching the mind towards a strenuous territory Rumours widen their influence during this fateful momentum Only the fools will dare to tread on the flimsy path Silence feel docile, but the congregation of clouds feel hostile Many oblique references of the past There never have been stretches … Continue reading The Stretches and Journey

Impatience provides a momentary euphoria Rigours of silence when the world is talking in an indecipherable language Surprises of joy from an unknown source slipped between life and you Beguiled by the slippery path that journeys through insecurity The treasures of the soul forcefully taken away by masked brigands Once, they felt like eager hands of friendship; but, they became hostile Lamenting about the loss, … Continue reading Scattered
Even the most prolific ones feel they should have said more! The silent repentance, the fumbling for words affects them too. What an affliction! There are times that coil up uncomfortably around the emotions and rarely allows them to articulate freely. It feels like desertification! Suddenly, the barren and harsh moments wither the emotions prematurely. The aperture of the eyes gives a silent treatment to … Continue reading The Hostile Climate
Does the patience of the past become invalid due to presses of time Dissatisfaction marches on through the tyrannical and leaden paths Wraths of insensitivity, ignorance, and inconvenience develop many faces The hunger for sympathy grumbles and churns the stomach Stubborn steps lead to the oppressed territories where knowledge hangs in shame The courage of imbecility detonates inimical time; seeks devastation Where some still fast … Continue reading The Way Ahead- In a Mirror
Battling the phantom issues; they rise from the land of darkness Enemies were raised from the spiteful imaginations- gone wild, wild, wild The desire to see through the darkness and wishing for a gift for those warriors Messengers with misinterpreted messages and deeply flawed perceptions Waiting for some fiercely breathtaking adventures in the midst of dusty terrains Shrouded in perpetual darkness; closely, the warriors whisper … Continue reading Flawed
