Eventually they pay me in rude silenceTurn away from my shadow, bypassing my soul Creating a rift within me, since I start doubting my feelingsVisions bifurcate, there, in front of me two identitiesManipulating my integrity, yet, the world is in motionLife loses momentum, these moments create a dense fogWhat once felt like a dream turns into a miasma of despairTime loses relevance, my reasoning repulsed … Continue reading Recurrent Events
We can regard our life as a uselessly disturbing episode in the blissful repose of nothingness.-Arthur Schopenhauer Continue reading Life and Nothingness
Not even a whistle as the wind blows through the idlenessShadows have been playful, they play hide n seekNot really a daydream, but a slice of another realityWithin, everything is quiet, now less curious about tomorrowIt comes…wish, silence was more meaningfulQuaint reflections, only glimpses, nothing substantialNothingness being amplified, but consciousness is enjoying a recessWorried about those stories- they may vanish without a traceStoryteller’s fear is … Continue reading Radio Silence
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
Perhaps only people who are capable of real togetherness have that look of being alone in the universe. The others have a certain stickiness, they stick to the mass.-D. H. Lawrence Continue reading Lonely World
On the deserted land, barren and shamed, hoping for the return of pulsation Ears on the ground sometimes, looking East, days collapse on the West’s tired cradle Hopeful of the night, fewer stars, a confused and tired soul wishes a clearer sky Dense consciousness, lonelier stillness, closed eyes and prayers in the heart Waiting to reconnect, retrace the paths forgotten over time, historical blunders Passages … Continue reading Pitter-patter
When Time springs to life and I feel that I exist, in a reality still preserved It’s rarely true when life is not defined by common approvals, only if I trust their agreement An escape from the common desires, not tired anymore from the compulsory contracts Constructing a dwelling out of pure freedom where I can dream Suffering from perceptions is not my deal, and … Continue reading Rare Moments

Turning away from the haste, the hate, stopping the clocks and becoming impervious to the ridicule Claiming my space, sanctity of darkness, when I longer fear the silence, for midnight calls with a different tune What I wasted in the rush, my dreams became a blur, I could not recognize the environment Tiring to wake up to the noise, misdirecred by the massive push towards … Continue reading Acquiring Silence
A strange feeling sweeps my consciousness towards another reality Feels alien here, the silence that I absorb makes me realize a truth O Heaven! It’s been eons that I have distanced myself, for my experiences were like a mirage Staring at the time I had spent, now they appear rare, like a mirage Perspectives of fractured dimensions, the sins of differences between me and my … Continue reading Fractured Dimensions
