Moves on, trickles down deeper into the existence, the psyche, feels like relentless prickles Later, it had sounds, rhythms that birthed history- all happens in a flash, but feels lime eternity Laborious journey of tired souls, upon the unsettling heat if conflicts, feels like destiny conspired by darkness Drilled movements, of people and emotions, numbed senses, but marches on, tired bodies and exhausted desires Only … Continue reading Antiquated
The uncontrollable waves of euphoria Criticisms have entirely defeated witticisms Departed from the earlier waywardness More voices have joined the clamour Rudderless journey of a new tribe There is a kind of uneasy camaraderie Deafening silence amidst eroding beliefs Emerging popularity and cacophony Unsettling favoritism blooming within The frictions in the recurring dreams Quakes won’t wake up the unheavals Ripples of reflections on murky water … Continue reading Imagine the Waves
It is uneasy sitting in a crowd and witnessing a burlesque show The light around dips and flips, and takes the elements of fun away Wide-eyed, useless curiosity in the communications that are mundane No one desires to rush outside; wonder, the freedom the auditorium offers In between, the pantomime also fails to mesmerise the tedious audience Thunderous applause after the failed satire on the … Continue reading Is It an Uneasy Show?
As there are no plausible replies to the genuine queries Timeless ardour has settled elsewhere; there are only voids Indiscernible time wearies the nobility- only empty promises Initially, there are no guilty feelings, only euphoric desires Somewhere, deep down, there are docile pleasures Pretentious communications fail to convince the soul There is nothing to be bewildered anymore… only usual worries Unanswered questions, incarcerated heart, and … Continue reading Your Questions
I wouldn’t let them rush in, as my heart cannot reason The proliferation of change threatens to ravage tranquility Only apathy towards the reckless manifestations It is dreadful standing near the crumbling precipice Chaos pushes hard, unsettles the foothold Emerges that space, uncomfortably whimsical about life No promises to the fearful one; only panic amidst cheer Lusty eyes and satanic intent carry forward the reality … Continue reading Resistance
Unsettling calm stubbornly clings to reality Some mysterious stirrings are felt Unfathomable desires conspire against the day Ripples of uneasiness push away radiance A chase against an unwilling soul Cannot decide on light and darkness Sepia background changes the colour of life It hurts after trampling over despair Soundlessness is often mistranslated Sleep comes with rueful dreams ~Amitav Continue reading Uncalm
The absurd waves have been screaming from far Now they surge ahead and threaten the tranquillity Doors have been closed and rooms erased of dreams Outdoors is home now, during inclement times No walls and divisions, but peace can be evasive Earlier, tight spaces restricted the freedom of time Absurdity compelled the world to feel smaller Where dreams would be contained in small sections There … Continue reading The Waves
Lamenting Sun pulls down the curtains There is solace to be found in this new found darkness Preferable silence over the discomforting fables Foibles of the day are enough to unsettle the rhythm Spasms! The day contorts due to uncomfortable questions Propositions of scandalous desires Let it all settle down; they will sink deeper and taint Still, this stillness will rescue the advance of such … Continue reading As The Curtains Come Down
How intensely the ripples are played like a discordant instrument Forcibly, the lyrics are sung, which pierces the tranquil realm Seeds are strewn all over the ruffled and trampled ground; hopes quelled Cryptic mists gather over the graceless surfaces that cloak the environs Haughty dance steps gathered all the unsettled seeds into a muddy brawl Ages of turmoil wounded the skies and acres of pristine … Continue reading In Disagreement
While you look away and sincerely hope to glance one more time Without engaging the eyes, or the complexities of an intense gaze That can convey so many things and delay the departure Yet, wishing for a decent farewell without the fancy words that were thought of in recess But reflections do not stay on the surface; they deliberate and change the course During that … Continue reading Look of Goodbye
