“Trust me”, I had said at the beginning, the spilled laughters and stern looks created a divide Realizing, which side of the divide I was in; reality setting in, but receding like magical sand dunes Looking for truth in the reflections of a mirage? Yes, the least troublesome would be the truth that destabilize the paranoia Looking away while trusting, interestingly, the fissures had always … Continue reading Upon whom you Trust
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
Crawling time develops thousands of feet, towards wilderness Thinking of arriving at freedom, from all pain and misbeliefs A lonely existence amongst a crowd infusing interpretations, meddling with the consciousness Illusions aren’t enough, contradictions are like the Lernean Hydra Slow progress of time through a tunnel misguided, without a beginning and end Coexistence with misappropriated truths boldly etched on a fragile surface Everything seems to … Continue reading Still, It’s Still not Enough
Night exploits the timorous light while the universe is busy surrendering As reality blends into a blinding cavern, to never appear again Tomorrow will be hidden like a secret message, yields it not to everyone, elusive Rarely its true nature evolves, before another darkness magically prepares a concoction Of rare lights, unfinished events and stories, souls yearning to decipher the undisclosed fate Reflections like apparitions … Continue reading Manipulative Darkness
The world blinks, it’s momentary, even evades our consciousness Shadows slink and move towards an oblivious horizon Skipping a beat, the heart beckons the mind, a timid response from an hyperbolic instance Without realizing the shift in instincts from the overburdened reality Nothing is realistic, noting down some variety of deviance Rising degrees of conflicts, a perpetual delusion off the hazy landscape Feels unreal, but … Continue reading After the Shadows
How long have you known the present, when it’s fleeting nature takes it elsewhere Search through your memories, even at the backyards of abandoned time Honestly, the present is reduced to other particles, dwells in another dimension Yet you want to grasp it, but escapes magically like ethereal dust Wounding the consciousness around a fundamentally unstable reality is insanity Truth has a cultural tone, disguised … Continue reading What Really Exists
The world loves to be amused by hollow professions, to be deceived by flattering appearances, to live in a state of hallucination; and can forgive everything but the plain, downright, simple, honest truth. -William Hazlitt Continue reading Easy Deception
Could not entrust you with my trust in the elongated spectrum of reality Things are not what they appear to be, but every day, trust is designed by an insincere vision My emotions are protected, still fighting the projections; boundaries helped me to remain sane While the talkative world drowns me with drivel in the wake of an unrestrained time Who are those trying to … Continue reading Upon Whom It Rests
Drifting and darting around insanely, mine, but once-in-a-lifetime, not anymore Dying like a shooting star, flashes of brilliance through their brokenness Lighting up my horizon, but here I am misaligned, not even a parallel existence Exited the misunderstood reality shadowed with innumerable untruths, unfaithful promises Mirrors are thoughtful, exposing the reality of altered reflections, I go deeper through a portal Another world, another type of … Continue reading Quandary of Reflections
If not you have been still and thought about the primordial darkness When thoughts were not born, only silence deep, divine stirrings of existence Time was not segregated, but a flow through the meditative cosmos Stays in our minds, deeper in the unexplored word, within, vast unknown A struggle of existence, while the soul seeks in the wintry darkness It is an existence, infinite cycles … Continue reading What you Seek in the Dark
