The Common Tiredness

Dubious outcomes are not uncommon Wrapped in insincere embellishments Broadcasting an auspicious future At the intersection of human feelings and electronic interference Only inference possible is that of exaggerated announcements Scripted like an oddly shaped vest to envelop the mind Since the arrival of seasons have altered, even, misappropriated Fruits of such laborious diatribes are insipid The world does not feel illuminated, but it still … Continue reading The Common Tiredness

Let it Sink In

I would let it sink in deeper, longer than the world would like to Then agitate them again to observe their reactions Adequate rest is essential for them to obtain a degree of stability Patience and control, while a world unravels its volatile reactions Resting, while the entire world is busy, is a thoughtful risk It is a retreat, to retrace the steps, count them … Continue reading Let it Sink In

Sudden Retreat

Sullen retreat from the celebrations A spectre of impending reality Dreamers are aware Of sudden changes in feelings Drunken revelry over widening chasms It feels so mundane to remain quiet Away from crowded opinions Shattered languages Half-hearted communications A kind of distress everywhere Irregular sighs and complaints Lonely contemplations are rare Hounded by intemperate thoughts Whirlwind adventures Excesses of impulsive decisions ~Amitav Continue reading Sudden Retreat

Forgotten

The peaceful thoughts, tired and failed, slumps resignedly Cannot complain about the effort to suppress them It was the daily reminders of how too much romanticism fails A world corners them repeatedly They bury themselves in the soul Peacefully, away from the accusations and suspicions No one would have understood them Only the magnanimous soul who understood their language The delicate moments unable to weather … Continue reading Forgotten

The Indecision

Yesterday is overstaying and tomorrow isn’t over yet Now that is the odd predicament this present moment is in Yes, laughable that it remains creased always One who desires to iron out this can only hope so Not only this world but this microcosm is also compromised A pattern only scooped out of a defiant pattern Of being worried and fretting over the unfulfilled expectations … Continue reading The Indecision

Inadequate Translation

A greater portion of the day is not translated at all We assume, react, and wait for the favourable responses It is not about the day being dwarfed by the inclement time No! The day is just a day; it should not be heard with patience Even the summaries are terribly narrated and rushed through Why lift the consciousness from the wailing moments? Drown the … Continue reading Inadequate Translation

Finding Yourself

Ever get tired of finding yourself? When they insist that you are hiding something If you say, “Nothing”, they look at you compassionately With disbelief within; for they are reflecting on their perception To create a persona they wish to visualise For it to be the final version, in their eyes Plenty of erosions and aberrations, cliches and tightfisted comments Where the hell are you … Continue reading Finding Yourself

Unwelcoming

Dawn’s serenity rattled by the discussions over goodness Perceptions of it being a necessary evil in a world mired in chaos As truths sprout exceptionally slow according to the hasty times Despondent lies shade the morning from pure brilliance Pluralism of truth needle the environment from different directions The desire to kindle the enthusiasm in the disheartened souls Such aimless interpretations demoralise the purpose of … Continue reading Unwelcoming

Vacant Voice

A voice too faint, vacant, wishes to rush towards a welcoming emotion Pacify its palpitations, doubts, and nullify the abuses by a hostile world It can be a desolate world when people assemble to pillory the mild voice The Earth trembles from the hostile languages; knowledge becomes a trickle Somewhere, they are still available in exotic places; away from interventions While this approaching voice will … Continue reading Vacant Voice

Chaotic Order

The justifications of unjustifiable, the absurdity of lies Speaking at inappropriate moments in a debased language Cringe-worthy exaggerations of body language Like the magician’s distractionary tricks to pull off a show The urgency of deception crafts many masks skillfully Who are they? Whom to believe? Is there no one to whom one can speak without being ridiculed Silent, but that scathing judgemental eyes grabbing the … Continue reading Chaotic Order
