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
Improvidence is the ultimate luxuriousness Scrapes echo louder every day As feeble walls display the plunder Time won’t heal maladies that are immune Fragile frames will crumble Grandeur won’t withstand amidst empty promises Lewd designs and freakish desires Egomaniacal bragging fill up the void ~Amitav Continue reading Accumulated
Those who stand by their promise of delivering the lies Weaves a mask every day with the convincing fibs Parched wound and the wrapped gauze still fresh memories Lies weren’t the sponge that could absorb hurt None can drink from a chasm; an agony of unknown depths Masks cannot mask lies but shorten the lifespan of truth By exposing the vituperative languages and their intentions … Continue reading Words of Falsehood
Impassive houses jostling for space, only for recognition Today, the drenched walls express city’s despair Shroud of glamour soaked in overflowing emotions A stoic evening exposes the insensibility Glassful of extravaganza insufficiently hides the woes Future promises are coloured with suspicion Emptied heart wishes for some truthful talk Ambitious instructions are cunning enough to mislead ~Amitav Continue reading Of City Thoughts
Dreams often devastated by broken promises Like false kisses that caress the feelings for a while An uneasy query knocks at the door, disturbing the calm Not reassuring for the solitary soul Time does not understand these lost moments Intense looks rarely fathomed by cursory relationships A soul alone feels the trickles of lamentations Slowly flows the sentiments towards an unknown course Distant voices float … Continue reading Dreams
