A curious man’s complicated mixture of emotions stare from the fragile apparatus Strange dyes of the confabulated world mix like an enigmatic solution Intermingle in a serpentine manner, as if the desires of the man is aroused by some ogre’s charm The rancorous smell emanating from it fills the dingy room like a ravenous demon This may not be enough; if the soul and flowing … Continue reading Curious Complication
If the words become too stubborn Spending too much time in the kiln Emptied emotions through the cracks Scorched and transformed, indifference The magician’s potion is not potent Torture of drowning them in a crucible Such drama to revive them; pithy sorcery Inescapable torture from excesses Embellished with fraudulence There’s a spectacle for everyone’s eyes Contempt and jeering for the hollow drama A spectator cannot … Continue reading From Words to Wisdom
Empowerment is a word that sits enigmatically between the dictionary pages. The mystery surrounding this word (empowerment) and the continuous apathy of humanity towards building a positive culture have failed miserably. Weakness is a human trait; it becomes ferociously pronounced when it comes to presenting power to someone. Power is a sensitive word that is stifled in the clenched fists of a coward. Mention of … Continue reading Of Empowerment
One can only hope after staying away from the unnecessary inclusions It is difficult to be away from the culture of crowded thoughts Why does the mind wish to cling like a sycophant? Thus, speak of ideologies such as revolution and evolution When the light seems dim at the brightest hour of the day Desecrate the mind with outrageous thoughts that kill the consciousness Why … Continue reading When one can Hope
Mobility isn’t agility; sounds contradictory, but if you think over it, it may be clearer. Everything is energy, and any movement requires you to spend it, to transfer you from one point to another. Even while you are thinking, you use certain amount of energy and the kind of thoughts matter too. Positive thoughts surround you with a sense of goodness and lessen the effect … Continue reading You Decide
Listen! Those seismic words pulsate with unrecognisable energy Silence enhances their pulsating expressions; ready to create ripples Fine reflection across the glassy undulations create anticipations It’s not a slippery emotion, but a reality expressed in spectacular rhythm ~Amitav Continue reading Listen
Not sure, if my contemplations went on for too long Missed the youth to express myself with adequate sentiments Searching for the right words and times of sincere commitments Or, maybe the right moments never occurred that early Is it poetic justice for those times which tried to consume the soul With apparitions luring away the heart towards conclusions They were in cahoots while attempting … Continue reading Let that be the Course
Misinterpreted reflections smudge the landscape of existence Blemishes of incoherence drag the simple lines along unsettled roads Sewn into a twisted tale of convoluted words between parallel tracks Languages burn the truth while minds are busy contemplating deviously Eyes squint from the excessive glare of lies spreading to untouched territories Lunatics desire the inferno that can sustain those burning desires of power Bones resemble dry … Continue reading Distorted Reflections
An attempt to reconcile goes awry after humanisation of perceptions Components of ideas unable to fit in the naturally carved spaces Numerous instances where they protrude disgracefully Raising their head unnecessarily; an estranged relationship amplified Manufactured and controlled with altered state of particles Struck by time snags, numerous false implementation of mutant thoughts Power of abnormality presides over the minions forced to adhere Hand in … Continue reading Reconciliation
Present the natural face of Zen Contours defined by pure indulgence Without being enslaved by words Holding on to the Sutras of Sastras Verses profound elevates consciousness Focus on non-conceptual concepts Take time to align with the facets Brevity of discourses are profound Take care not to nurture sharp focus And egotistically cause distress Allow the thoughts to wander Carrying their heartfelt narratives Keep yourself … Continue reading Face of Zen
