To Dream Again
Yearning for the soft dreams, milder darkness and brighter starsRest my head again, feels heavy amidst the unnecessary bargainWhen spaces feel uncomfortable and I forget the reality of eternityWhy mornings should feel like an intruder, rays blinding, signs of rageSelfish pursuits that put uncrowned kings on pedestals All gathered here to rush and push, oddities of human natureMinds trapped between perceptions, written tenets, also, skewed … Continue reading To Dream Again
Of Writing and Storytelling
To handle a language skillfully is to practice a kind of evocative sorcery. -Charles Baudelaire Continue reading Of Writing and Storytelling
Quiet Composition
Probably the unheard stories of the soul will never make it to the real world Suppressed but defiant, the remain relevant, but ignored for the sake of vanity Stories that scream and enters your dreams, but dreaming is never an acceptable job Curtailed time for creativity, daydreaming is considered an errant life Punishment for the emotions, a consciousness that cannot endure the reality of inception … Continue reading Quiet Composition
Inspired to Write and Endure
The overemphasized and romanticized simplistic narratives sans the daring stressors of creative freedom, from a space of prismatic distress of artistic insanity is to produce some bizarre mundanity in the artistic world. Why can’t we have a sudden euphoria of dandelions romancing the wind? Without intimacy with the brokenness, the experiences and exploration of human consciousness, the use of emotions beyond what is available in … Continue reading Inspired to Write and Endure
Missing in Writing
Overexposed piece of writing, the vehement justifications seeking validation through vague commentaries of winding paragraphs. Devoid of literary tastes, aimless ramblings through hard imagery, objects placed in odd places, stories that run through parched areas. Looking for some soul, some life, where time could surrender deeper, but, there is no transparency in a craft less or lack of artfulness, some raw, insipid words with rough … Continue reading Missing in Writing
Tell Me A Story
“Once upon a time…” Stories rarely begin this way now Memories fade Storytelling has transformed, losing it’s art, the passion, because time is fickle There aren’t any storytellers, the crowds gathered elsewhere Stories will live, somehow, may be in our soul Till it weighs us down Tired and bored, we may rest again, find the connection Stories will have soul once again A storyteller’s pride, … Continue reading Tell Me A Story
The Forced Reflections
Some of the reading are laborious indeed! The words are extremely ornamental, crafted by someone else, but awkwardly set in a design that diminish their glorious reflections. It is life going out to fetch some fancy pieces to enthral the reader with some borrowed vanity. First, the eyes feel tired, trying to extract some meaning from them; by then the mind shuts off, and the … Continue reading The Forced Reflections
It Started Somewhere…
I must have started somewhere, at the behest of my consciousness, trying to wake me up to a different world, where I can look out for words and transform them with meaning. Not the meaning that the words carried, but something more creatively crafted with feelings of my own. This is where probably, I tried to look out for more words, the more I stumbled … Continue reading It Started Somewhere…
Let’s Go Back
Now the days are slower, you often drift towards a comfortable past Discuss it often, with overlapping memories, and repetitions It feels good not to hear about the present for sometime Travelling leisurely, without taking permission from the daily routine Skipping the time table and ignoring the calendar blocks For once, not reprimanded for being late, because there is nowhere to go Life paused for … Continue reading Let’s Go Back
