Suffocating

Daunting dawn fiery as Hell, trembling particles swept away by furious winds Demure darkness swallowed by a vortex, dreams visited fiendish territories Deepening deception of time, torturing the soul with fiery rage Nude trees, evaporating waters, the bald Earth devoid of feelings Quarreling voices destabilize abodes, wilted will of defeated souls Sputtering and flickering candles, elongated shadows crawling across salty walls Sweltering warnings, refracted rage, … Continue reading Suffocating

Only Assurances

Can you promise the Sun to wake up with the same integrity? Look directly at the morning and vow to exude that kind of warmth Match the mirth of this Earth and walk lightly across life Without hurting the sentiments, discriminating life with frugal sense Let consciousness be like a happily flowing brook Searching for generous tributaries, creating arteries to sustain life Allow the same … Continue reading Only Assurances

On A Wintry Morning

Morning wakes me on a wintry morning At the last hours of darkness spilled Whispers of the universe with new messages For now, darkness will be dimmed Weak light conceived from the unknown reality Known to me, but distant and shines bright Fresh visage with roseate glow gives hope Warm embrace of silence assures the soul To be awakened in slumberous world My desires have … Continue reading On A Wintry Morning

To Another Year

Trying to dissolve the past moments in a chaotic time At the dwindling hour of another year that will be a memory Though it will be tough to place it amidst the bygone years Difficult chapters and an unbound manuscript written in muddled ink Another shelf hastily crafted from the decayed wood- sun hasn’t been kind Neither has poetry flowed generously from the subdued poet … Continue reading To Another Year

On a Faint Fresh Morning

The morning does look neat after a harrowing night Of growling and shrieks, the menacing threats of the skies Rage plunders the frenetic dreams, and one can hide deeper When the bed feels unwelcoming to the panicking mind Now, there are no traces of those demonic warnings Time transformed the entire reality while the world churned Slice of sunlight peek through the beaten window Peels … Continue reading On a Faint Fresh Morning

Early Ruminations

The unexpected glare of a morning disperses the gloominess Life is easy with the simplicity and not much curiosity from passersby Keeping track of time feels immoral when life just wishes to pause Leisurely looking through the haze of humanity, not an infantile fantasy A search for some promising visions, if possible for the feeble consciousness My desires may be incoherent with the acceptable moralities … Continue reading Early Ruminations

Fading

Could have been a delightful morning If I could remember the pleasant dream Abruptly erased, for I failed to embrace them dearly All these worries rush in without my consent Time descends toward uninspiring and dark depths Where the brightest have to surrender Tiring pace of monotony and the monochrome days Early shadows across the new-born light Their fading brilliance is an ominous sign ~Amitav Continue reading Fading

It’s Quiet

At the quietest hour it escapes from darkness’s possession Its anonymity helps find the passage toward the everyday ritual Waiting to feel that cosmic spark, to ignite with benevolent light From the embrace of life and sleep and frolicking dreams A serpentine demarcation between reality and illusion In a fetal position, life wakes up from another conscious separation Into the most peaceful world, wordless, without … Continue reading It’s Quiet

Poetry

The Desired Space

Oeuvre of the undisguised heart, at moments of ecstasy Entirely unbridled, expresses the feelings in a joyous rhythm Thoughtless during the most busy times; careless glances at the day Taking the morning away, from the clutches of mundanity To the most safest place, where the wandering imaginations visit A sacred place, amidst a secret location, landscapes of profundity Verdant reflections, resonance of voices from another … Continue reading The Desired Space

Another Reality

Soft tones of an early moment try to elucidate the rising feelings Quietness is a trusted friend during the luxurious realisations Becoming aware is like moulting, a new beginning, a new perspective Fresh appearance, wonderful reflection will be magnified Holding on to the purest energy and wandering purposefully Collecting scattered treasures of supernatural nature is a pride Brilliant eye, the most significant orb, is aware … Continue reading Another Reality
