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
Equilibrium; the light feels warm today, there is no inertia, fallen dreams wake up Flickering horizon, one isolated viewer with his back resting on a flaky wall Overstretched horizon looks like a spent comet, trails of time bygone Eras making a comeback, riding on new hopes, like a chariot from a mythical world Once upon a time wolfed down time by a black hole, finds … Continue reading Sanguine
Opaque reality, sitting here, trying to rein the unwanted distractions Silence and stillness is all I pray for; goodbye time I cleaned the hazy windows, drowned myself in clear water Feels fresh, even the night looks brighter, faint, pure light of transparency Now, the connections, with reality, the forgotten truth I found a comfortable position, my mind simply comprehending, unhurried The universe has a fragrance, … Continue reading More Than Curiosity
Philosophical days will appear again, that’s the prayer Today looks contemplative and evenly timed; a contrasting reflection Of the enduring chaos, the pain and confrontations of ideologies Didactic lectures from misinterpreted ideas changed everything erroneously Infantile fascinations, no effort can elevate the thoughts anymore Unclean time runs through the numerous channels deep in the earth There is a connection between complicated downfall and rushed changes … Continue reading Meaningful Meditation

Forgiveness from an unknown power A world desires to be considered honestly Distant realities hibernate till they awaken Every season is a reason for reaffirmation Crucial moments spent on remote thoughts Consciousness blossoms in another dimension Yet, the distances remain untraversable Choosing a path, a true journey, is a task Life does not stop journeying toward the end Inevitable it is to remain preoccupied It … Continue reading Forgiveness
Some days appear cleaner- washed away by the overnight rain All the debris and worries; human misapprehensions and mistrusts Disappear, as the rains dream of a new beginning It may be gloomier and quieter, but how peaceful in stillness A difficult night washed by Providential rains looks like a child praying Even for a brief moment, the vagaries of humanity feels distant Now the innocent … Continue reading Some Clarity
I can only choose where my feelings dwell Some mornings mysteriously do not ring the bell Not that the prayers are only for edification Some shadows do linger and delay the elation Of the heart that has dreams of keeping a promise Would be foolish to anticipate that something’s amiss Not yet, all the close feelings have to surrender Time has mellowed and the clocks … Continue reading That Which is Chosen
How far can I stretch my pen I don’t know yet What if the ink refuses to flow even if the inkpot is full The images that will fail to appear to this gloomy world Even the Moons and stars would play hide n seek too often If the canopy of delusions wrap the emotions for too long Would they be able to breathe? When … Continue reading Hopeful Pen
