There’s a gradual shift in the discourse, the pledge to disclose nothing that may unsettle the established status quo. As if, a sharp object either creates more serrated edges or aggressively blunts it, like a candle is extinguished Sharp flames of clarity burn down the prejudices, dulls the mediocre opinions of the opinionated Writing is doubtful, literature even vague, between cruces of a quantum transformation … Continue reading Misguided Flow
If you make people think they’re thinking, they’ll love you; but if you really make them think, they’ll hate you. -Harlan Ellison Continue reading Thinking Troubles
Vision is the art of seeing things invisible. -Jonathan Swift Continue reading Vision
Nought! Utter those words, feel those emotions, they’re purely yours, takes courage to spill them over Already too much turmoil, spaces encroached with trivialities, a trick to lure, away from reality Whence do you gather that courage, a timely intervention to escape the prolonged drought Lines and passages do not have a promised contract, literary journeys are lonely; face your own chaos Not the best … Continue reading Incentives
Probably the unheard stories of the soul will never make it to the real world Suppressed but defiant, the remain relevant, but ignored for the sake of vanity Stories that scream and enters your dreams, but dreaming is never an acceptable job Curtailed time for creativity, daydreaming is considered an errant life Punishment for the emotions, a consciousness that cannot endure the reality of inception … Continue reading Quiet Composition
The overemphasized and romanticized simplistic narratives sans the daring stressors of creative freedom, from a space of prismatic distress of artistic insanity is to produce some bizarre mundanity in the artistic world. Why can’t we have a sudden euphoria of dandelions romancing the wind? Without intimacy with the brokenness, the experiences and exploration of human consciousness, the use of emotions beyond what is available in … Continue reading Inspired to Write and Endure
Overexposed piece of writing, the vehement justifications seeking validation through vague commentaries of winding paragraphs. Devoid of literary tastes, aimless ramblings through hard imagery, objects placed in odd places, stories that run through parched areas. Looking for some soul, some life, where time could surrender deeper, but, there is no transparency in a craft less or lack of artfulness, some raw, insipid words with rough … Continue reading Missing in Writing
The reflections disperse and dissolve, arrested by the ripples, the scruples and fading imageries Unfriendly time, timelessness and nothingness remain relevant, descended horizon, half Moon and unadjusted darkness Lopsided discussions, crude observations and lamentations, mirror images, trapped ideologies, lack of breathing space Even before I fade, I feel dazed by an uncomfortable presence, persistence of a tiring conflict, among existence, in a pattern of complicated … Continue reading Fading
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
Eager waking, darkness nostalgic, the assuring cover of lightless resonance Time to assure yourself of your existence, to reflect without the distractions; soul pulsates with cosmic energy Days meant to sleep, withdrawn from the push that propels everyone towards hurried existence When you cannot even listen to yourself, your conscience medicated with daily dose of nonsense No one can reassure life like a balanced darkness, … Continue reading The Lure of Darkness
