Night exploits the timorous light while the universe is busy surrendering As reality blends into a blinding cavern, to never appear again Tomorrow will be hidden like a secret message, yields it not to everyone, elusive Rarely its true nature evolves, before another darkness magically prepares a concoction Of rare lights, unfinished events and stories, souls yearning to decipher the undisclosed fate Reflections like apparitions … Continue reading Manipulative Darkness
You cannot dictate my dreams, my commitment to imagine beyond this reality forced on me Fail! But you have not evolved to accept your failures, like each soul tormented at the defeat, yet, rising again to bludgeon my dreams It’s a dysfunctional spectacle, enough said, what grotesque power can transform those souls into My love for my dreams, the soul I want to surrender to … Continue reading Failure
I had to fall over, the irresistible lure of a new beginning Could I call it a natural surrender? Enormous silence had been the stern guardian The slowness became bearable when I could unclutter my mind I gathered the courage to reclaim the spaces from a crowd of thoughts Hindering my thoughts; but a colossal leap into the unknown was inevitable Smudging the features so … Continue reading Finding My Space
Dwelling on the differences inspires more differencesIndifferent I try to be amongst the urge to waste more time on themSome unknown energy turns into this formidable enemyI become smaller, but my mind expands rapaciouslyA distorted image; not the fault of the mirrorMisshapen reality has carved me out from my beingThis is not me, but I am living comfortably with my antithetical natureThere is a compulsion, … Continue reading Differences
Staring curiously at the white spaces, a little twist by the restful fingers, trying to wake up the imaginations in the mind; urge them to wander, transcend the illusions. Sooner, there’s some rhythm in the fingers, words will follow too. The pen isn’t sure now, the insipid ink hopes to lure more passion. Quite exhilarating, the wandering of wild reflections, illumiming the dangerous curves, the … Continue reading Waiting for them to return
Disappeared in an instant There was no time for lamentations Arguing with the silence Short-lived tremors go deeper Settle down in haste Waiting for the arrival of a future Fraught with distorted dreams Meddling with the darkness Alert! Its sinister character Altered by the vulgar actions Like the fall of Icarus Dreams too suffer the fate Sky reflected across turbulence Shattered landscapes spill rage Fear … Continue reading Irruption
Nothing will change if there is a propensity to exploit the situation to disadvantage a gullible majority, who also believe, they do not have a chance beyond that existence. There is a silent resignation but also dreams of fighting systemic wrongs; a dichotomous situation. Life becomes a constant struggle with the self. Perhaps, the entire nature of life becomes a distorted reflection due to the … Continue reading Diversion
There are easy contemplations Leaning towards a vulnerable reality A chaotic intensity with conviction When all the lamps have been broken Frantically looking for some light Lost pathways in accidental darkness Conundrums and connivance No ordinary weakness, only fatal Unable to disentangle from the events Intemperate world enigmatically stays ~Amitav Continue reading Uneasy Contemplations
Do not bow too close to the consciousness that reflects It becomes an odd posture and the eyes cannot determine the dilemma Like falling into another reality and drowning What happens to the other character who forced it on the contemplations It is like an unwilling surrender and aimless floating thereafter Being servile to the chaos that hid so well under the calm surface Some … Continue reading Too Close to Identify
