A disconcerting contradiction of finding comfort in chaos Absurd ambition! Without losing the centre, of the presence, the sense of being There is a chasm, a sinister void, threatened by the whirlwind, a directionless journey Missing the core essence of existence! Wishing the wild desires like wildfires threatening the landscape I don’t owe you an explanation where I seek comfort, the shore where my destination … Continue reading Comfort in Chaos
The straggling words pull the mind through a maze Unsuspecting mind wandering there was among the crowd Pulled along the damp ground for the desires to be scattered No, there are no eager hands to nurture them For convenience, the comparisons are laid to rest A world that is embraced by the darkness feels pleasing Sometimes, sprinkled with stars, the only reason to hope Perspectives … Continue reading Where it Leads
Trying to see above and beyond won’t extend the neck any further Desires of fugitive eyes pull the idle mind towards an anticipated mayhem The defunct compass, the shattered integrity, and heavy breaths of fiends All the delinquent reasons to quench the thirst with some unknown potion Dissolving the remaining reasons of morality to completely subjugate Ruthless desires stretch the neck beyond the boundaries of … Continue reading Beyond Expectations
Compelled to bathe in the glorification of jealousy Such is the pride that sweeten the thoughts Those who guide and guile through the chosen alleyways Lifeless eyes tired of the artificial lights Heaped thoughts weigh on the mind- forever, forever Dance of the dunces celebrate the glorification ~Amitav Continue reading Glorification
It’s vain to nourish the soul with jealousy and pride The self-traitorous one wants to snatch away someone else’s morsels Innermost greed weakens life’s forces and consumes the soul like ravenous termites Vainglorious wisdom set-off the unfortunate events of destruction Insalubrious mind wouldn’t mind unleashing a tirade against freedom and love Ignorance is unrepentant; a hardened heart and crumbly soul is perfidious Avaricious dreams devour … Continue reading It’s Vain
Don’t flatter yourself much Even the mirror would want to relinquish its power to reflect the truth It wishes not to be scarred by the crisscross remarks, incisively self-aggrandizing barrage Even cursing the mirror if it fails to reflect the desired narrative Condescendingly controlling the inflated pride Caring not to smudge the frail edges of the images that are coloured offensively One may not read … Continue reading Mysterious Scenes
If not the thoughts are entertained by the considerate host Where do they turn to, if they feel troubled by constant scorn If the unstable world collapses on them even before their wishes are fulfilled Parting with them will be unfortunate and heart feels like a pauper The commands to tame the unruly thoughts seems an utter waste of energy What is it, if not ineptness … Continue reading Unfriendly Host
Conscious diatribes aren’t effective to shame the obvious uselessness A profitable companionship cannot be split by words of honest jurisprudence The delirium becomes concentrated and settles comfortably in minds If it is about the desire to possess the inessential to win a war against wisdom Wants are quantified by the irreversible casualties of humaneness Impatience to create another Paradise is ambitiously reflected in mortal idleness … Continue reading Intoxicating Pride
Wonder which language the ancient monuments speak Once grand and glory of an Age they survive the onslaught of time Many mysteries are whispered by the walls, remain still in oblivion Not all the stories have been narrated and those spirits await liberation Narratives remain relevant forever as eternity carries them Listen to the murmurs of the mountains and impatience in surrounding winds Echoes between the … Continue reading The Echoes
Words sprint ahead without the feelings Impatient tongue influences a conversation Serrated intentions inflict lot of pain Debilitating definitions from pages of prejudices Unabashedly flaunting the lack of knowledge Freedom trapped under colossal pride Minds do not mind leading a devious life Every karmic act comes with their consequences© Continue reading Words and Intentions
