Looking in the wrong direction Some mysterious events are distracting Considering you are inattentive Even naive; the reality was not a good tutor Like an early arrival A new destination for an uninitiated traveller Who wished to move around Untrained eyes always look elsewhere Unsolved riddles become trickier Restless soul plans to leave Without planning for the next journey Carrying a troublesome fortune ~Amitav Continue reading Misdirected
The thoughts that are led across a difficult path Waiting for darkness to descend, for lights expose Those deeds of rapscallions to spin a sinister deal Wrapped in a suspiciously garish disguise of lies Handed down to propagate a dishonourable theory A curse that has sunk deeper and flows effortlessly Dragged along difficulties in rushed fascination A heart leaps out of reasons- a known betrayal … Continue reading Down That Difficult Path
No one can decide the calmest of times Until the heart feels it is time to deviate from this path Time gathers like a cloud, only to threaten A quivering moment speaks some uncomfortable truth Looking at the clock is futile Time is completely out of breath; the way seems Startling! The alarm clock is jarring Stretched comfort, the body feels the weight of it … Continue reading Looking for Calm Times
Let the roads branch as freely as possible Unfurl the thoughts along each path as wavy and ecstatic journey Bring you back to the roots of that evolving consciousness Events of days and nights are not the only reality Time does speak in the recess when everyone stops speaking That moment, when time stands still and reality unfolds Hear the echoes and hum those emotions … Continue reading In your Heart
When words collide with inimical time The eternal heart blooms to cradle emotions A solitary wanderer contemplates the path Is it necessary to rhyme with chaos?

Crushed rocks jostling for space Jagged edges stare at each other in rage Feet wishes not to tread on conflagrations Seething with fury of the Sun Most likely to burn and lacerate the unsure feet Only way available through unnamed valley Unburdening along the way Exhausting it may seem to clinch a piece of solitude Desires of the soul reach a pinnacle ~Amitav Continue reading The Only Way
Dwindling light and advancing darkness It’s time to choose- this way or a path that seems elusive Eyes take time to adjust at this juncture Difficult to focus beyond a point Confabulations create a contrary image Fingers point, but paths seem to bifurcate Life smells different, a mysteriously lingering aroma Hopeful for the greenery and abundance Is it too much to ask? Confines of unrealistic dreams are … Continue reading Decision
Beautiful feelings entice the ears Surrounds the world with mystical mantra A soul leans forward to embrace them They speak to you in hushed voices Wondrous moments for the spirit Seeking the guidance from Universe Narrating the glory of the unseen Revealing the honest paths of Paradise© Continue reading Seeking Guidance
I will trace not the crowded path My feet hurt from being trampled No one stays to express their regret Meanwhile, someone elbows past Race becomes intense through the day I wish not to live with repentance Of imitating the unwanted actions I choose solitude not out of fear I do not run away from the love The path I have chosen is not easy One … Continue reading Crowded Path
Don’t lose your way in life by asking for directions too frequently. Quieten your mind and have faith in the Self and you shall be shown the right direction. We are continuously depending on someone else to show us the way to a destination which only we can choose wisely. ~Amitav Continue reading Directions
