It is an untimely push to wake up at that hour Said in a colloquial language which carried a harrowing sentiment Of a world in a hurry; where a man cannot rest until the last breath Time is entirely essential for a selfish reason What are the chances of escaping an inhibiting world? One cannot perceive freedom as a betrayal- anomalies of an opaque world … Continue reading After An Untimely Push
Silly defiance scrapes through every settled alternative Slipping further into a state of turmoil- harsh times ahead Stories nebulous, a decry… all truths have to be obliterated Signs of forgotten memories, missing ages, unclear narratives Stiffened hearts have to bear the burden of explicit lies Straddling across the undulating and rough paths is uneasy Stupefying ignorance- defies all the reasons from other ages Striking indifferences, … Continue reading Stunning Imbalance
You have woven the lies masterfully to enervate the environment Without being distressed over rapidly eroding trust from the soil Roots are losing the instinct to go deeper and find their strongest region A willful surrender, too often struck down by the inimical stories Every day you have to quit… although, there is enough time to crawl Across rough terrains, on bruised knees, and pain … Continue reading Nothing But Surrender
Sometimes you forget too easily… it can be an inevitable circumstance Losing track of all the necessary feelings; some sinister magical spell, maybe There are other urgent thoughts to attend to, even if they are ordinary Rare occasions when the sky is tinged with blood orange hues… it’s another sign Of approaching darkness, without the ostentatious display of emotions Quiet changes are misunderstood- it is … Continue reading Lost Moments
When fear stops you from allowing freedom into your life Thoughts caught in the fences, and the air feels stifling Freedom of the valleys is restrained… only helpless stares Contrived opinions from the other side of a divide are painful While happy dreams float around in a liberal world There are indecent ideas also to contradict and defeat the purpose Of a life complaining, gasping … Continue reading Unfair Ways
Who plays behind the masks, betrays the guesses Abundant reasons to convince the well-meaning heart Swabbing the patience away- exposing unfortunate truths Content with weeping and looking at life’s melancholic hues Shall be convinced, but the discontented feeling stays For whom shall you feel, listen, and care about the next day Only you will be there listening to a voice sane… it’s painful Those who … Continue reading What Plays Behind
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
Absolve the soul of unnecessary ridicule Unable to yield to the conspiracies Through numerous unplanned journeys Out of desperation and restlessness Whose fault is it to venture? None of those dreams troubled thee It was the rush to possess something else An affinity to roam the darkness Erasing the directions and guidance Befouled languages crush communications Life on an uncontrollable flame Struggles of a soul … Continue reading Unnecessary Ridicule
Untrammelled journeys lead to surprising destinations A whispering of silence reveal many secrets Time leaves a soul alone; almost forgotten by a busy world Feels unfamiliar after a lengthy disconnect Past sacrifices itself in the present tranquillity Future dreams appear with cryptic messages Nothing startling after freeing the soul from obstinate time Unburdening opinions of mistaken identities A persistent battle of perceptions and avaricious deals … Continue reading Different Expectations
A silence of shame, on being confronted by the truth Guilt measured in a muted breath Murmurs give away a disarrayed narrative So many words have been stolen and placed erroneously To structure definitions conveniently Allaying failures with lies- diagnosing some fatal maladies Of which there are no remedies, but more woes In silence, there is complicity too Most of what life could have gathered … Continue reading Muted, But Heard Everywhere
