Living yourself, only with your dreams can be a lonely strugglePressured into adopting an image, a character defined by societyPeople complain if masks when rarely they get an honest replyLove damaged by vagueness until all the layered disguises wear off Not in a lifetime, may be luckier if you probe deeperStrange, when eccentricities turn into a diabolical game While born, the soul begins its struggle … Continue reading The Struggle is Real
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
Inattentive soul, aspiring to imagine half-tone images Walk away further, tilt your head, the eyes prance between the spaces, and figure out a stymied outcome Natural lights are neglected, hushed tones, as imaginations drift sharply Neglected memories, the cunning time that builds a craving withing, without which you cannot step out Distancing from the self, transforming with a designed fashion, overlooking a perforated landscape Piercing … Continue reading Neglected
There are days I am not willing to share my thoughts Like to be alone in a crowded scene and study every detail After staring for some time, the silhouettes start acting Reacting to the intense occurrences, as an individual Trying to construct a separate world, and yet, connect Comment on the popular topics of the day; political stirrings Although the voices try to be … Continue reading When Thoughts Fail
There are some forces, their efforts, to create a divide As you try to be closer to yourself, the more you are ridiculed As if you are inadequate… a failed protagonist and raconteur Encouraged to travel exactly in the opposite direction… wherever they may lead Trying to catch that ephemeral dream and turning into an undying passion As much being controlled by the predestined past … Continue reading The Divide
The individuality shines brighter amidst anachronistic expectations Rhapsodic dreams in wakeful moments with brilliant visions of life Definitions stare at failures and a strict dilemma of their proposed plans A world ecstatic about mediocrity- alienating the primordial sentiments What kind of dreams can transform into objects of disparity and chaos All that resides within cannot be purged out; this is anti-cathartic Standing alone, enveloped in … Continue reading The Individual Dreams
When thoughts do not arise from a pure necessity, but predominantly from the interdependence between a complex common consciousness, then you do not have control over the way you perceive reality. Caught between a void and clamour for giving up freedom. -Amitav Chowdhury Continue reading What About Thoughts
It is a dilemma- whether to remain sleepless in a busy world Or, be drowned in a celestial sleep and disconnect from time’s torment The kind of desperation cannot be fathomed I cannot be in a conflicting duality; a reality split by erroneous calculations Abandon the soul and venture out to a wild chase of inferior dreams Contribute to the conspiracies woven around to prove … Continue reading What to Settle For
From afar, the nearest things appear to transform Eyes their natural inclinations at a patient moment Without the desire to look any further Once being away from it all seems to be enough Knowing about the reality from a different perspective Their shadows whisper the real desires While the mind crawls along the path Not trying to take the same route, but a detour This … Continue reading Distant
