Life and Nothingness
We can regard our life as a uselessly disturbing episode in the blissful repose of nothingness.-Arthur Schopenhauer Continue reading Life and Nothingness

Pitter-patter
On the deserted land, barren and shamed, hoping for the return of pulsation Ears on the ground sometimes, looking East, days collapse on the West’s tired cradle Hopeful of the night, fewer stars, a confused and tired soul wishes a clearer sky Dense consciousness, lonelier stillness, closed eyes and prayers in the heart Waiting to reconnect, retrace the paths forgotten over time, historical blunders Passages … Continue reading Pitter-patter
Sanguine
Equilibrium; the light feels warm today, there is no inertia, fallen dreams wake up Flickering horizon, one isolated viewer with his back resting on a flaky wall Overstretched horizon looks like a spent comet, trails of time bygone Eras making a comeback, riding on new hopes, like a chariot from a mythical world Once upon a time wolfed down time by a black hole, finds … Continue reading Sanguine
Catatonic Time
Caressing the idea of eternity amongst the strong urge to desire the end Waiting for the extreme curve, defying the deified universe All this noise birthed from an unresolved and unresponsive age of anxious acquiring The burden of hoping in an erroneous pattern; it’s everywhere, exposing the fear of confronting time Frantically posturing in a mighty world misaligned, insufficient understanding of transformation, a primordial truth … Continue reading Catatonic Time
Off Balance
If there were no movements would you have found your stability Imaginations never liked stagnating and getting muddled with indistinct thoughts Significant moments of feeling the pulse of change; consciousness learns to balance the momentum Even in stillness, the void expands, responding to the cosmic rhythm Feels like an unknown existence while connecting to the distant hum Even before time existed and nothing was conceived, … Continue reading Off Balance
Acquiring Silence
Turning away from the haste, the hate, stopping the clocks and becoming impervious to the ridicule Claiming my space, sanctity of darkness, when I longer fear the silence, for midnight calls with a different tune What I wasted in the rush, my dreams became a blur, I could not recognize the environment Tiring to wake up to the noise, misdirecred by the massive push towards … Continue reading Acquiring Silence
Recalibrate
Unwound time, slackened pace and tiresome energy- an efficient way of de-energizing life Lost momentum of human consciousness, loosening the intricate relationship with nature’s senses A cocoon woven by a whirl, life struggles within; dimmed environment, no transmutation of existence A disorderly arrangement of life, an existential dilemma and clashes of weakening consciousness It’s too late to recalibrate defunct time, machines support the problem with … Continue reading Recalibrate
Onus
Obsequious obsession with opaque dreams Ocular distortions and oppression of objects desirable Oratory failures reverberate through the speeches Orbits shrunken by the alarming intensity Orpheus disappeared along with the beautiful creations Oaken cottages empty of any inspirations Obscene transformation of once verdant landscapes Obdurate consciousness is like a hurricane ~Amitav Continue reading Onus
The Uncommon Journey
On settling down among silence, in the cradle of a silent valley Meandering paths are not easy journeying; feels dizzier while alone Only a lonely soul trying to listen, follow the principles of the universe Leaving behind the tutored paths, walking toward gates of horizon Frequently looking at the sky, now there are no more compulsions Freedom from the routine of laying low, looking down … Continue reading The Uncommon Journey
Where Imaginations Lead
Delicate scenes born from the tranquil emotions Travel as far as you can imagine, create new destinations Between you and the Universe, the precious conversations Guides life through the undulating journey of new visions It may be seen as a betrayal by the indignant world Self-indulgent, monotonously didactic in a stern tone Easier falling into the etched out patterns, a deeper trauma Carved into them … Continue reading Where Imaginations Lead
