Approaching Darkness-Another Journey

Eventide returning to the darkness again, another surrender, lonely soul sighs Time takes a pause before hiding the shadows; a quiet existence takes over Repetitive goodbye’s, tired soul reminisces the vanishing memories Darkness reverberates through the altered existence, a coexistence of reflections and contradictions Forced dreams are boring, better still, to stroll the deserted paths No hurried movements there, not even a whisper of influence … Continue reading Approaching Darkness-Another Journey

Messing with Memories

Wondering if I dwelled too long in scattered spaces where memories were in a disheveled state Unsettled conversations, trying to keep pace with stopped clocks Revisiting those places, uninvited, in a stupor, an unfulfilled desire luring me often I failed to differentiate between the altered memories, but faint hopes still tormented my dormant mind Here, in the present, I have the time to rethink, the … Continue reading Messing with Memories

Early Pathos

Not thought of anymore, abandoned feelings murmur still Stirrings of an ethos from which this present entrapped me, into silence Forced me to promise a silence in this chaotic world; still I enter the faint space Feels heavy on my soul, many voices, their resonance pure, although everything has changed My silence has shadows on a moonless night, but I may never dream again At … Continue reading Early Pathos

Delayed Love

Overpowering silence survived the chaos Feeble stirrings disguised their feelings before dawn Waking up lonely and empty while greeted by mundane mornings It was the wickedness of time that restricted any passage Emotions stopped reminiscing the missed opportunities Some paths never meet but come closer at a bend Different travellers determined to reach a destination Wary looks and hurried greetings are escape routes Delayed aches … Continue reading Delayed Love

Writing

Why write?

Write when the creative juices flow, struck by a passionate creative angst to carve out our own stories, nurture them, praise them or put them on a pedestal, with ink, carving out their space, before presenting them to the world for some sincere scrutiny and sometimes harsh critiques. Writers write, stories and experiences accumulate, memories tickle the pen…everyone of them wants a tribute. -Amitav Chowdhury Continue reading Why write?

At a Favorable Distance

If not your unwanted curiosity, there isn’t any reasonable explanation of your query We’ve not met; meant to be distanced by time and the circumstances imagined by you I have wandered too far away from those days, in a way seeking the ephemeral Now the voice too sound unfamiliar and my ears are accustomed to the silence Without being restrained by the stifling memories, a … Continue reading At a Favorable Distance

Overshadowed

Occasional congregation of the clouds Grumbling at the despairing landscapes Thirsty eyes frequently stares at the sky Time has etched a difficult pattern One cannot revisit the earlier moments Aching hearts unburden fine feelings Shallow craters do not hold much woes Escapes maddeningly towards oblivion Not that rainy days have arrived yet Only the horizon looks threathening Angry lightning annihilate unseen places Long before one … Continue reading Overshadowed

Where Light Cannot Reach

Morning fails to reach all the corners of the room That of yesterday, and even earlier, been kept away from everyone Convenient corners are filled with those memories Latticed patters decorate them for some time and leave There is no scope for the morning language to initiate a conversation Those stories have a secret language and a special fragrance Accommodating them and even keeping them … Continue reading Where Light Cannot Reach

From Ages

What is left behind is taken away by time Only as a memory they settle down deep They may fade, or remain there for a lifetime In an unborn reality, they can seep Struggles of mankind with a burdensome reality Faintly forgotten due to life’s feebleness Again, a consciousness awakens after brief mortality Somewhere life is tricked by a deviousness Encumbrance of time is a … Continue reading From Ages
