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
Dreams you would not like to interpret visits regularly Troubled feelings try to settle in you to make you uncomfortable Although you may try to be numb, the sleep transforms into a devil Like a pleasure-seeking trip through an unknown journey Surprisingly, the initiation to all this is like an attack The senses, the feelings, the soul (if the dreams become ghoulish) You have to … Continue reading Unpleasant Dreams
Words wilt, a weary world’s stillness worries the waiting travelers There are no stories to be believed anymore… an undesirable calm Evaporating happiness and trust- when can one believe again It is strange that the houses did not feel comfortable during the night A change as hard as the stubborn boulders shatter peace and dreams Following every possible lie was easier… convinced about them Grief … Continue reading Far Away from Home
Lack of sense in sensible things- all things have been grouped It has become a thing to stretch the groups from the sycophantic amalgamation Of all things, emotions and their being is also at the centre of controversy Scarce reflections, creepy deflections, foul breath torment the blooming ones Painted alluringly, the colours of subservience steal the independence of eyes Garrulous groups gather to gossip and … Continue reading Listless Things
It’s not those dreams that resemble, but the ones that are simply yours Struggle for your attention, while they tremble and mumble timidly Surrounded by the high decibel troubles that ensure anxious heartbeats At the centre of an arrhythmic life of falsehoods and disguised reasons Of unfounded principles, they become the behemoth that shadows conscience Tyrant dreams continue to busy life with worries, challenges, and … Continue reading Unheard and Distant
Wedged between heaps of ignorance Where does one find momentary sanity Thoughts, like dust, settles inconspicuously Trapped with many other particles Incoherent, insouciant, and incisively destructive Devouring the soft fabric, till it looks ragged Some idiot must have planned all this Thinking of switching off the consciousness Seeking clemency at the precipice of foolishness Wild dance, celebrations of absurdness ~Amitav Continue reading The Futility of Seeking
The trembling words do not embrace the mind dearly Rarely, they are delightful of the heart’s lovely desires Weary days and nights, tiredness takes possession of the soul Spiritless words scattered here and there- an incoherent bundle Of denials, futile communications, and tiresome relations With the uninspired soul that camouflages itself with melancholy Ridiculing the happiness of nature for being truthfully expressive Invoking the night’s … Continue reading Uncertain Moments
You cannot shape the mirror by hammering it The desire to alter the reflection and reactions Rattled by the truth, the pounding is in haste Hate; the tendencies to abuse and overpower Even one’s own reflection- the mirror is sacrificed Horror! When the world remembers the abuse Scars everywhere, yet there’s no remedy It’s not hunger, but some deep-rooted anger Subjugating life with terror; cries, … Continue reading Ignominy
Impassive eyes reflect the world in dreary colours A world it has become, of torment, and heavy with daily feuds No freedom to travel anymore, but to pray in disguise Burdened tales are narrated by the anguished tongue Thinned blood flow under the slackened skin A brutal world avows to avenge the altruism of eternal world All the songs and stories of love and courage … Continue reading One has to Wander
Inebriated times; difficult to match the stupor and whimsical behaviour As if, the ocean of time is disturbed by persistent effluence of negativity In abundance of such nature, purposelessness flows through murky channels Of woes, carved by greedy hands; satiating the monsters residing deep Ferocity of mobs spill over and arises the foulest of rebellion; distressing time Mutinous souls unable to exist and coexist as … Continue reading Inopportune Time
