Thoughts, like crumbs, strewn here and there, after devouring the portions with an unknown hunger Thinking of wasting nothing, like precious bread, but an unwanted hurry, to take away something extra Even if it does not agree with the system, making the consciousness lethargic, emanating tiresome energies Weakening the being, the cosmic structure, feeble frames weild a war with overburdened thoughts, an insatiable desire, a … Continue reading Bits and Pieces
Darkness you have played with at a nascent time Was too early for anyone to realise a dream gone awry Barrage of inanities thrown at it Defaced; a new type of anger emerges and overflow Fragile dreams, beautiful emotions dissolve Streams of unhappy feelings submerge this realism Not only people fighting for an indentity Complexities amplify through numerous characters Reflections too fighting for a fair … Continue reading Without Identity
Through the raging times, looking for peace Willing to douse the fire that is uncontrollable Rebels revel at the kind of a dystopian cure Without watching the steps of wrathful time Lingering sorrow and a frowning reality Cruel reflections across the once placid waters Distressed ripples distort the images of a world Once again the space is devoid of consciousness Raucous words devastate the faith … Continue reading Dreams of Peace
A world gasping for the plight of human troubles Everyone unsettled, every dream affected by turmoil In solitude, I realise my deep connection with the world Not defined by my boundaries, my ideologies Also, shunning those unethical commentaries Beliefs surviving on rhetorical speeches Superstitiously stepping on the principles of the Universe Only by man alone, the course of humanity undermined Affected by indifference, intolerance, discrimination … Continue reading Gasping
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
Everyone abandons the shores in buoyant anticipation The flow seems to have gained a favourable nature It is not contemporary ambivalence, but a current frenzy Shaped by the modernity of those times; it continues Calculations give that immense confidence to surrender Not the waves of forethought, but a vague estimation Also, the boredom of staying in the cocoon of tranquillity Some unseen hands push life … Continue reading Empty Shore
It is incredible, and in fact, magical that creativity is not disheartened by rejections so easily. The true essence of creativity finds its way, despite the vanishing channels. One has to channelise the inner resilience and creative passion to rise above temporary misunderstandings (it may not be entirely correct to assume that creativity will communicate with the right audience) and skillfully find the course it … Continue reading Rejecting Creativity
The antics try to suppress the dominion of enthusiasm Of this universe, and then settling down in a carved reality To lament the mesmeric caving in of the fragments of existence Only if reality were to be encompassed by these eyes Impossible! They rover purposelessly across lusty silhouettes Contradictions are seeded in the absence of entirety There is every reason to persuade the intellect to … Continue reading The Antics
I do not have the luxury to not learn While walking on thin ice after I drill the last full stop Whether I am willing to survive the deep chilling waters Of darkness, a void created by the lack of sincere words To holler, with passion, about the turbulent emotions The world may not come rushing, but a lonely hand can be a saviour What’s … Continue reading Trying to Learn
Writing is about immediate survival from the strong emotions which threaten to create turmoil, but the writings that emerge from that struggle survive the turbulent times. Writing is about the courage to persistently present the principles of survival, hope, and dignity in a creative way. It is your immediate ingenuity that can either sink a narrative or give them strength to sail through turbulent times. … Continue reading Survival of Writing
