Dreams after Waking up
Tinged with poignant hues, rippled horizon from night’s lamentations Dulled crimson looks odd on a morning canvas, dreams are barometers of human loneliness Yesterday has a significant influence, whereas, the present looks bewildered In between, a lone man tries to train his eyes to look beyond Thinking,”this too will be washed away”, may be needs another fierce downpour It may either make the world look … Continue reading Dreams after Waking up
Adopted Thoughts
No even boundaries, unclear spaces with blurry imaginations, struggle with mundane reflections Routine thoughts, nothing provokes the mind- they do not stir up the senses, gasping for some freedom From the forced ideas, the experiences they everyone else has had, incomplete inferences Obsession with the unknown, the extravagant efforts to trespass time, this warped reality While reflections have exploited the vulnerabilities, desperation to outperform the … Continue reading Adopted Thoughts
Quandary of Reflections
Drifting and darting around insanely, mine, but once-in-a-lifetime, not anymore Dying like a shooting star, flashes of brilliance through their brokenness Lighting up my horizon, but here I am misaligned, not even a parallel existence Exited the misunderstood reality shadowed with innumerable untruths, unfaithful promises Mirrors are thoughtful, exposing the reality of altered reflections, I go deeper through a portal Another world, another type of … Continue reading Quandary of Reflections
Inglorious
Setting the time back, pushing fate towards an endless chasm Diabolical intentions of hastening retreat after defeating the soul, its surrender, fatal Time is a curse, caught in the cyclical nature of follies, of mankind ignorant of life and light Weakening the energy, no more warm vibes, but a dangerous coldness grips the world Enough hiding the bitter truth, a psychological thriller, mendacious propaganda Trying … Continue reading Inglorious
Reluctant Waking Up
Why not relinquish the consciousness to the darkness, a burden, an unwilling heaviness amidst morning A sharp contradiction of brightness and dormant emotions, enjoying the gloomy moments Pushing back sleep, the healthy desires, the space to dream of beautiful moments, even if they cannot fructify Defying the odds of them revisiting me, again and again, I fail to shut the door on them, knowing they … Continue reading Reluctant Waking Up
Fading
The reflections disperse and dissolve, arrested by the ripples, the scruples and fading imageries Unfriendly time, timelessness and nothingness remain relevant, descended horizon, half Moon and unadjusted darkness Lopsided discussions, crude observations and lamentations, mirror images, trapped ideologies, lack of breathing space Even before I fade, I feel dazed by an uncomfortable presence, persistence of a tiring conflict, among existence, in a pattern of complicated … Continue reading Fading
Neglected
Inattentive soul, aspiring to imagine half-tone images Walk away further, tilt your head, the eyes prance between the spaces, and figure out a stymied outcome Natural lights are neglected, hushed tones, as imaginations drift sharply Neglected memories, the cunning time that builds a craving withing, without which you cannot step out Distancing from the self, transforming with a designed fashion, overlooking a perforated landscape Piercing … Continue reading Neglected
Fighting the Mirror
You cannot fight back the reflection, it’s fragile and persistent, ego force, staring at your soul Strike it woth all your might, you hurt yourself, it cracks and ominously smiles at your rage Drawing blood, changing the course of life, flows away; the world is like a mirror Feel the unknown stares, the pathetic curiosity about someone who does not follow, unfit for comparisons How … Continue reading Fighting the Mirror
