Early morning, smoky screens, filtered light Indifferent time, but irritates the sanity of life Half-awakened posture, not a masterpiece Is it laziness or perfect apathy towards busyness Difficult to know from a reticent fellow One positive outcome is that voices are mellow Filtered the baloney, but some swearing is heard Still preferable, the laid back observations They are quite keen, incisive, and critical It’s still … Continue reading Not Every Day
There are times when the whispers grow at a commanding pace Without raising their voice, they threaten to occupy the little space That I call my own- a slice of a world that balances between me and my soul It depends on how I defend it from faltering From the intense soundwaves inaudible to the human ears All that I can do is to keep … Continue reading When It is Essential to Walk Confidently
I know I can’t win by racing against time It cannot be usual to suppress the morning Carry someone else’s dreams on my shoulders Walk around for a purposeless errand Think consciously about unconscious impulses And run the course like a lunatic trying to subdue time All the dreams capsize; the waves are rogue Why should death be turmoil? Living considered a struggle against an … Continue reading Against Time
Contributing to the contradictions in a carefree manner Ceaseless attempts to change the subject is a charade Conflating the other sentiments with this careless rhythm Call of ambiguity echoes the deep voice of the wild Coarseness in the air reverberates a continuous warning Condensed silence emboldens the contradictions even more Careless detours cannot take away the journeyer’s troubles ~Amitav Continue reading Contradictions
Evening carry the burden of the day tirelessly It does so without a complaint; as a responsibility Still manages to keep its tranquillity Settles down and urges life to take it easy Not to rush through the troubles and hastiness Those who may not have listened Argued with the fury borne out of insecurity Thought, without thinking about you Often, the burden of others cannot … Continue reading Carrying the Burden
Crimson worries, rhythmical silence notes down secretly The calligraphic notes brushed finely by the excellent winds Language divine, pacify them- the heart feels assured for now Dusk covers everything like the loving concern of a mother Says, “sit here as long as you wish, but settle the worries” Tonight, before the long walk back home, feel confident Tired legs must walk towards the bed with … Continue reading From Evening to Dawn
What drives them in droves towards the futile waves Where everything will be lost or dissolved in no time Some will sink deeper than the known abysses of a land Others may be hauled by the strong current to an unknown shore It started with a trickle of saltiness; now encrusted in its corrosiveness Deep down, the lost objects lose their desirousness It’s all gone … Continue reading They Disappear
Today it is a studied silence, not really sure of the sulking appearance at twilight hours Melancholy decided to be an accomplice to stir the already palpable restlessness Thoughts are like wolves loping on unsuspecting predators anticipating a feast Nature’s mechanisms seem to have rusted and thoughts have become obstinate cogs A workman has journeyed through the troubles and stumbled on the way home Here, … Continue reading Studied Silence
The heart inexhaustibly tries to reason with burning desires Eyes glisten with inimitable pride- resolute bearing unmistakable Shouldering the haughtiness in spite of uncomfortable posture Journey of meagre hope surges ahead to shatter prudent ideas Reflecting on the mirage for a lengthy period of fanciful dreams Yesterday’s journey is repeated, only to be meted out a similar fate With each advance the fate recoils with … Continue reading Uncertain Walk
When we stop walking we feel the road has come to an end A solace for the tired legs, but the heart is wilder and eyes curious to seek more Till one can reach the horizon and finally see where the Sun goes to rest It’s a test for the heart to rise above the pause and clear away the inner darkness Thirsty for more; … Continue reading Endless Road
