Wherever the mind sets, does it rise above the rest Journey is not about settling there, waiting for the sunrise Resurgence from the East, a squint of light, teasing the little gaps between the curtains Darkness retreats, somewhere, not judged by the prejudices All that plodding along the conservative ways returns to a void A circuitous path becomes a recurring theme in life, nothing yields … Continue reading Mindsets
Carelessly bypassing reality As if time has no hold on the truth A desperate rush, resembles a tornado Threatening the core of existence Nothing is memorable anymore Truths are mere experiments In a controlled environment Suspicious ingredients of warped world Like a double helix being fixed With new information, a cautionary tale Of being taught to ignore the signs Many, many more to arrive, devious … Continue reading Ignore
Mere pawns between the collision of time, the constant side-effects, persistent lethargy Low-cost extravagance, the inferior, the magnified complexes on a highly reflective and reactive mirror There is no bonhomie, jealousy, the degrees of it, sets apart personalities- the inner demons reveal the aberrations Accepting the distortions of a truth loyally has had a long lasting impressions of vigorous contradictions Stubbing out the latent rage, … Continue reading Entropy
Withstanding the ultimate dissolute ways, the senses taken over by the absurdities In half seen world, the complete interpretations, the perceptions, stand out like silly jokes Entertainment of an awkward type, even the pen pauses here, briefly reminiscing the trivialities Rare indulgence in free thoughts, still out there, untamed, the minds won’t race ahead of time Agglomerated thoughts, the debased ideologies and conflicts that burn … Continue reading The Absurd Struggle
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. -Marcus Aurelius When there are immense possibilities much beyond our ability to comprehend the truth of this existence, there are also greater chances of being mislead with false perceptions that have been etched deeply in the psyche of every age of existence. Just when we think that … Continue reading The Opinionated Truth
Everything is being pulled back with a taut wire; held in position and reflects a stifled look. Yes, suddenly all the objects have become us, sharing space, the woes, the desperation, broken dreams, setback, frustrations. How does it feel to stare at the objects, oppressed by their lifeless stare? There may be questions too, as some of our behavioural traits are embedded in them by … Continue reading Reflections of Isolated Thoughts
Losing the day too early amidst a chaotic tide There is no time to gauge the moment and gaze beyond Stricken with melancholy, the ill-gotten sentiments rule Unseen sunlight in the clouds burn like trapped embers The day loses momentum as offensive debates rage Glaring reflections on tranquil rivers are harsh reminders Clocks die down one being caught between flagrant time Uncanny isolation by strange … Continue reading Untimely Sunset
Make them so weak, they become extremely violent! Most of the opinions are unjustifiable, and actions take place after the consent from suspicious sources. Surviving on the spurious thoughts is not a dream anymore; an existential norm. The impunity with which misdirected minds are attracted to fatal thoughts unsettles the individual, as well as, the entire ecosystem of existence. Once a doubtful entrant, the expanding … Continue reading How It Unfolds
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
Someone who is essentially tired of the thoughts that float around has to decide on staying back. Allowing them to flow otherwise, because there is no mechanism to create a colossal obstruction to stop their progress. The only and possible thing is to withdraw the mind from the tremendous flow and devastating undercurrent. It is intriguing that such incessant flow of regressive thoughts are not … Continue reading Observing from a Distance
