Waiting for that light to comfort sleep when the night is frighteningly dark. Even the mind cannot dare to imagine a new dream; its solitude drifts towards another reality. A meek passage to escape the expanse of a dark dramatic deluge that threatens to erode the shrinking space. From where the cultic thoughts arose is difficult to trace, but one can never be allowed to … Continue reading The Darkness that is Difficult
Some darknesses are friendly, some are not, others curious, or maybe not; often they are responsible for not recognising the time and the faces around. Darkness can be mysterious, nebulous, and intriguing too. Sometimes, one adopts the mood, not out of choice, but compulsion; the coercion of such darknesses is inevitable. Darkness is magical; it finds its way with clarity, to be at the right … Continue reading It’s the Darkness
When the plunge into the unfavourable air grips me with chaos Time feels inimical and fleeting shadows mock for this foolishness Night has trouble lifting itself from the from the dense dreams In a wintry night, the clothes are dead cold; it embraces with icy fierceness Even my bones feel shaken from the harsh plunge I have taken It was not a pledge, but a … Continue reading The Plunge
Anything that starts with a perception of denouement can become an awkward interpretation. The approach to process such a piece can be exhausting to the mind. An artist perceives it to be the best beginning; from the ideological perspective, the altered sequence provides a glimpse of surreality. For once, it feels that being in a muddled state is necessary to prepare for clarity. What is … Continue reading Interference
Surprises of being lost when not pestered by the acrimonious thoughts So many feelings come floating towards the euphoric emptiness Indifferent to the rising and setting sun, the days just lose their identity Pendulum times freely sways between the souls stirring and cosmic light Waves cannot be contained in the midst of a vast expanse of nothingness Inimical thoughts drown willingly and find a new … Continue reading Some Surprises
How many poorly painted paintings can you display Against the walls that are fragile and garishly coloured Promises of that utopian falsehood depicted in many ways Surrealism distorted, with every breath taken in haste Colours were wrapped in suspicious packages Enveloped with artificial sentiments and suspicious blends Overzealous promotions to join the league- symbolic fame Perspectives lack depth while crudely annotating The medium of averages … Continue reading Distorted Perspectives
The mirror has a mind of its own and the freedom to hold or reveal Different lights, perspectives reflected in a different light- either light up the eyes or brings shadows of anxiety Gilded or barren contours, the unseen vulnerabilities test the abilities Of facing them or turning away abruptly from the unrepentant revelations Suddenly, all the images feel naked; the flimsy covers of unconvincing … Continue reading Horrors of a Mirror
Imaginations become feeble when you allow them to become strangers Eyes favour the undesirable, the barren thoughts seat themselves comfortably Discussing the impulsive change in routes that are unkindly and difficult to traverse Palpitations of the wind, tremulous feelings of the valleys, and widespread neglect No hallowed mornings, lights appear and then melt into some unknown reality Nursing negativity in the bosom; it sighs and … Continue reading Of Those Imaginations
Thoughts diffuse into solitude, an ephemeral reality lingers every day That unseen chasm between a being and this Earth absorbs all the light A faint hum in the mind escapes into the wilderness to echo the truth Unaware of the changing sentiments from morning till night But the thoughts seem to curl into different patterns; contrary to life’s designs From the faintest corners, some sparks … Continue reading In Solitude and Illusion
Away from the idiosyncrasies, seeking an ideal world, where idyll moments are preserved in verses Preferred silence hums the profound mantra of a picturesque reality preserved by Truth Who does believe in the pristine beliefs that were hidden from the view of existence? Here, sleep is not laziness, but a rejuvenating journey across the pastures of emerald green Sprinkled with inspirations from the celestial rains; … Continue reading Eyes of Admiration
