Common

Sometimes the simplest of gestures puzzles usTruth feels disgustingly surprisingCoarse words without emotional rhymes feel sweeterWithout the knowledge of nurturing lifeIt’s common to release the passionate embraceNature seems unnatural; finding solace between fragile timeSways that bridge, it won’t allow them to passProbably there resides Shangri-La, the mystical clouds are secretiveLike the Mother who is angry on the child, a punishment Till they mend their behavior, … Continue reading Common

Delayed Love

Overpowering silence survived the chaos Feeble stirrings disguised their feelings before dawn Waking up lonely and empty while greeted by mundane mornings It was the wickedness of time that restricted any passage Emotions stopped reminiscing the missed opportunities Some paths never meet but come closer at a bend Different travellers determined to reach a destination Wary looks and hurried greetings are escape routes Delayed aches … Continue reading Delayed Love

Still Exists

A fragile night collapses during the numbing silence Moments are erased from the memory Time slackens its hold over the submerged world Laboured breaths curse the slow progress of life Once it was a free world, now the emotions are confined Experimentation with the artificial truth Natural beings are eager to synthesise random patterns Ecstasy, untruths are delusional drugs Insincere remedies, unhealed souls, more suffering … Continue reading Still Exists

In Vain

Attuned to the disharmonious process Awake, while the earth sleeps still Preparing for another journey to digress Darkness has the willingness to kill Lest the dreams speak out for freedom Nothing alike in the thoughts of two That’s a world waking without wisdom Drifting apart, the souls won’t woo Faltering language they can’t fathom Time goes wild in an unfruitful chase Precious feelings pay a … Continue reading In Vain

Not Aligned

While everything dissolves so easily in the murkiness All the particles lose their consciousness… mere blurriness Esoteric desires are pure; cannot be compared with present times Existing on different plane of consciousness- not destined to meet Greedy hands want to reach for the galaxies, understand the stars Another yearning, a sinister one, to witness their destruction Heavenly bodies do not align anymore to birth a … Continue reading Not Aligned

Where We Dwell

It is not darknesse’s fate to melancholy hold In its bosom, and cries of an unfulfilled world Tired souls can shake off a tiring feeling Such an hour need not be full of mournful wishes Consciousness can awaken with positive omen Bidding adieu to tales of unworthy storytellers Choosing to be silent and a universal dweller Anguishes can lessen the sanctity of time Oh! This … Continue reading Where We Dwell

A Silence Speaks

It is not that quiet after all There is a kind of mysterious silence which is enthusiastic About finding something Thoughts flow like the meandering brook Changing landscapes, different realities Myriad echoes, past truths, and sleeping spirits The past is still relevant Everything surrendered to eternity transforms Even the kind of reality that dawns Birthed at a chosen time, life takes a new meaning The … Continue reading A Silence Speaks

Silent Reflections

A thirst that’s unquenchable Busy throwing rocks at the river Hoping to gulp some of the sweetness Or, disturb its tranquillity With broken pieces of burden Jealous of the playful fishes Lustrous souls dive eagerly To unknown depths of joy Mocking at our fear Averse to universe’s happiness Not willingly surrendering to life Trickles down at intervals Not essentially to rejuvenate Only to soothe thirsty heart … Continue reading Silent Reflections

Omen

Blushful world appears from the shadows of dim reality Timorous smile waiting to caress the vibrant crimson clarity Timid heart dreams of owning a world of freedom and truth Eternal sphere arranges the rays to revive fountain of youth Winking sparkles lure the soul towards a blissful celebration Nimble feet leave behind worries and join the congregation Children of awakened souls immersed in waves of … Continue reading Omen
