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
I do not wish to wrap myself in a blanket of thoughts that cannot save me from harsh winter Somehow, woven hastily with tattered thoughts, they weaken the entire fabric of the mind The inclement weather pulverise the being repeatedly and there’s no defence against the tirades Everyday harangue with the flawed ideologies cannot stretch the already frail life any further Let the mind be without ideas … Continue reading Blanketed
There are those things that need attention Usefulness cannot be decided by their relentless fracas Engaging with the chimaera Reality has adopted them unwillingly Screeches of imaginations Hauling the desperate emotions in a haphazard trail Wearied heart has arrhythmical tones Concentration can pin down life Perimeter of life and endless concentric circles ~Amitav Continue reading Attention
Sliding towards a darker side of the day There have been enough distractions and tiring thoughts No regret! Heart was engaged to identify the heartbeat of life Spine seems fragile but can bear the weight efficiently Arched according to the curvature of life’s leanings Body does start a monologue to narrate the undesirable burden Eye rolling can gather all the rage that surrounds Sometimes trailing life … Continue reading Waiting
