With unholy eagerness, the words were gathered Their origin and values misconstrued due to a dearth of time Harrowingly pulled to be presented under the limelight When it becomes natural to please the rapacious demands Indulgence in the superficial composition is a secret joy Charming they may read due to the heavy adornments Those you cannot love dearly but eager to release them soon Youthful … Continue reading Valiant Denial
We can barely hold on to time if it starts to self-destruct In the eyes of this world, it is expensive; dear to some and miserly too It appears to have been transformed into a commodity Objectification of time is a fatal error Everyone carries a unique definition and convenient truth about it Inconvenienced by time, the world implores the idle minds To wake up … Continue reading Time-Erroneous Perspectives
Is it difficult communicating with the nameless one Most of the time the seeking for a name, an identity becomes important A dwelling is not decorated with doors and windows alone The foundation, the homeliness, reflect from the welcome feelings Monasteries and places of worships are open to all Spirituality isn’t confined to the soul but held in the eternity’s soul Where everyone is nameless … Continue reading Seeking an Identity
Rarefied shadows, their presence undeniably overpowering Lingers across different realms- no qualms in pursuing them Source of intrigue and excitement create an alternate environment Prudent seeking; swallowing time and forgetting about it Buoyant feelings sail through the cosmic waves- horizon rejoices Deciphering the shadows of reality through a surrealist perspective ~Amitav Continue reading The Shadows

Tedious as it may feel, one has to endure the unwelcome silence Language lacks the emotions and unsure feelings search for a safer place to hide There are no legitimate questions that can really awaken the true principles Dare not visit … Continue reading Cessation of Dreams
It appeared to be a flimsy partition Eyes were curious, neck twitched, and the head decided to peek through It was a buffooning moment, almost devastatingly dense territory A mistaken choice to plunge the head into a viscous reality Who creates these ultimate illusions? Diabolical bastards of a vicious world Eyes stuck now, trying too desperately, neck can’t swivel- no sense of direction Mouth is … Continue reading Who Knew
Knowledge without wisdom is foolishness! The fools will try to emulate that knowledge, but due to their inability to comprehend the wisdom of knowledge they can interpret through their convenient ignorance and distort them. Being friends with such fools can elevate the gullible people to a world of arrogance and conceit. ~Amitav Continue reading Foolishness
With the personification of pain, there isn’t any clarity On the innate desire to breathe life into lifeless things It’s not the soul’s command to paint a dreary colour Time is not faithful; it’s corrosive nature disintegrates The thought of recovering barely stitched to the heart Is pulled away by the persistent gusts of a chaotic world Impulsive personification, a distortion between parallels That floats … Continue reading Another Reality
Poetry explained is poetry weakened. Let my curiousness allow me to read poetry without the unnecessary introductions and explanations. The lure of poetry has to be such with the right amount of emotions and metaphors. If I am influenced by the lengthy prelude and that orchestrates my imagination and interest in a poem, I won’t be able to experience the metaphors with freedom. A poet’s … Continue reading Poetry (Un)Explained
