Radio Silence

Not even a whistle as the wind blows through the idlenessShadows have been playful, they play hide n seekNot really a daydream, but a slice of another realityWithin, everything is quiet, now less curious about tomorrowIt comes…wish, silence was more meaningfulQuaint reflections, only glimpses, nothing substantialNothingness being amplified, but consciousness is enjoying a recessWorried about those stories- they may vanish without a traceStoryteller’s fear is … Continue reading Radio Silence

Cure the Pain

Sapless day, words scattered here and there like distraught emotions Knelt before an unsparing timeHoping for auspicious signs, as long as this body can bear the heatFeels stifled; the unbearable stillness evaporatesTears of pained earth dries up- sometimes pain is unexplainableNature’s hardened landscapes offer no solace Eyes drift beyond the consciousness, hoping to find magical changeUndoing the harsh treatment of existence is an arduous taskIf … Continue reading Cure the Pain

Learning to Know

It all starts with thy shadowsLittle unbalanced steps and curiosity It’s gestures were reassuring, sometimes felt like mockingDarkness has a mischievous sideKnowing yourself, that concept never occurred until time filtered the realityFinding oneself alone, there is enough time to think of a panoramic view Not everyone will be destined to write a biography A world that forgets the presence and identity of an isolated soulCalculating … Continue reading Learning to Know

It was the supremacy of … Continue reading Shaw’s Reflections

The Insignificant Time

An hour is too long, sometimes the clock seems tiredHere, souls hold their breath just before dawnFirst tip of light, a golden arrow shatters darkness’s mythBefore comprehending the changes, clocks speed up Life subsides, later shaken by untimely interferenceImpeding tranquility of a house, home yet to be a realityFinding solace between the splits of time, spaces of freedomLooking for that long pause and awakening before … Continue reading The Insignificant Time

Angry Time

Constant glare, thousand dilemmas like recurring puzzles Foul moods of the world, every morning, only a brief moment of pure light Constant provocation through stultified languages, messages unsettle the core Cede whatever you’ve gained into the residues of time Note, an artificial intelligence, an unusual feeling of adverse events Actions determined by some forces; beyond your control, a weakening constitution Experimenting with excuses and trying … Continue reading Angry Time
