On the deserted land, barren and shamed, hoping for the return of pulsation Ears on the ground sometimes, looking East, days collapse on the West’s tired cradle Hopeful of the night, fewer stars, a confused and tired soul wishes a clearer sky Dense consciousness, lonelier stillness, closed eyes and prayers in the heart Waiting to reconnect, retrace the paths forgotten over time, historical blunders Passages … Continue reading Pitter-patter
When Time springs to life and I feel that I exist, in a reality still preserved It’s rarely true when life is not defined by common approvals, only if I trust their agreement An escape from the common desires, not tired anymore from the compulsory contracts Constructing a dwelling out of pure freedom where I can dream Suffering from perceptions is not my deal, and … Continue reading Rare Moments
The era is quite dry, humid sometimes, but sudden deluge of nature’s rage Dampened moods, there is no other way out of this conundrum Light, not bright enough, clouded by the tired industries, demands, more demands Not simple dreams, it’s said, “you’re a failure, when you lose the urge to possess more Like a surrender to the persistent distractions, corners of life crowded Devoured spaces … Continue reading There is No Pure Light
Can you promise the Sun to wake up with the same integrity? Look directly at the morning and vow to exude that kind of warmth Match the mirth of this Earth and walk lightly across life Without hurting the sentiments, discriminating life with frugal sense Let consciousness be like a happily flowing brook Searching for generous tributaries, creating arteries to sustain life Allow the same … Continue reading Only Assurances
As there are no plausible replies to the genuine queries Timeless ardour has settled elsewhere; there are only voids Indiscernible time wearies the nobility- only empty promises Initially, there are no guilty feelings, only euphoric desires Somewhere, deep down, there are docile pleasures Pretentious communications fail to convince the soul There is nothing to be bewildered anymore… only usual worries Unanswered questions, incarcerated heart, and … Continue reading Your Questions
I wouldn’t let them rush in, as my heart cannot reason The proliferation of change threatens to ravage tranquility Only apathy towards the reckless manifestations It is dreadful standing near the crumbling precipice Chaos pushes hard, unsettles the foothold Emerges that space, uncomfortably whimsical about life No promises to the fearful one; only panic amidst cheer Lusty eyes and satanic intent carry forward the reality … Continue reading Resistance
You lavishly impose your idiosyncracies Would you ever consider the dreams you had? The way you look at me makes me invisible Your voice sounds entirely different now Have you transformed your intonations? A slight change exaggerates the modifications At the onset, the stories were more desirable Understandings have been stretched painfully How confidently you altered your accents The aslant sarcasm weighs heavily on life … Continue reading When It Deviates
When we cannot keep pace with peace it feels absurd Calamitous dreams flow like the unknown rivers of the netherworld That warm feeling of drowning the self in the desirous current There could be an uprising of a wintry feel- the self-contradiction Frozen time stabs threateningly like a thousand steely knives Stalactite thoughts claim to subdue the mind with fierceness When shadows become bigger than … Continue reading Eluding Peace
A pleasant knock on the door Early morning visitor guided by the night Here, at the doorstep waiting for a response The startled eyes and unprepared soul Dreaming of a distant time deluged by falsehoods Who arrived here isn’t trusted Ignoring the gentle reminder from a visitor Woken up from the bed by two realities Ears pressed between the pillows To soften the cacophony of … Continue reading Unknown Visitor
Spent clock does not wish to translate time Cold silence agrees with the wintry sentiments Words won’t be used for depleted emotions Heart won’t wait for the unreliable promises Tears will be joyous and sparkle with love Secrets will give way to clarity and hope Eyes will seek the other side of life in earnest Voice not a murmur but distinctly audible Words aren’t useless … Continue reading Evolve
