Passive voices earnestly chooses a time to speak urgently About that moment, when everything was dark, and sounds faint An unrest became too much to bear silently; abrasive feelings Hurt even more, when that time chose to stir up a controversy While facing the mirror, the enduring faces and expressions revisited Your expressions had no meaning and became feeble When the other contours became sterner, … Continue reading Passive Voices
It is not much I can gather during that curtailed moment From second-hand narrations, grudgingly trying to sound sane Listless days… the mornings wake up with a gloominess Lengthening the night’s mood to influence the day Opinions that are unverified, walk in, through concealed doors Non-literary glorifications across those tired pages Voices read dispassionately- only the alphabets matter Vacuous emotions sound too haughty to disguise … Continue reading Not Much To Listen
While we do not condemn the rush, being pushed around unnecessarily Without permission to speak against the culture of inaccessible freedom There is a feeble definition of freedom that is being painted in a shameless gloss Is there any scope of narrating the desires like the peaceful storyteller Who can reflect on every possible sentiment that human existence could not articulate Much of the emphasis … Continue reading In The Rush
Some voices are true Speaks fluently of life, full of positivity Reflecting the inner light Of courage that erases the grey From the other side of unspoken sentiments There are new realizations Maybe, the long pauses are meaningful To translate the tranquil Voice vibrant says, “Time to rejoice” Crafts the most beautiful conversations From near or afar Time is inessential Moments shine like cosmic stars … Continue reading Voices Different
If I were to speak of something unknown, would you try to stop me because it makes you nervous? It’s perhaps the usual feeling to be wary is such situations! That feeling of uneasiness paints a melancholic feature and the eyes become hauntingly gloomy. Looking at them is saddening, but there is no way I can walk back and change the course to return with … Continue reading The Freedom to not Listen
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
A voice too faint, vacant, wishes to rush towards a welcoming emotion Pacify its palpitations, doubts, and nullify the abuses by a hostile world It can be a desolate world when people assemble to pillory the mild voice The Earth trembles from the hostile languages; knowledge becomes a trickle Somewhere, they are still available in exotic places; away from interventions While this approaching voice will … Continue reading Vacant Voice
Rare saner voices seem to be more distant than ever; somewhere, the deepest forest has taken over the territory The crisp air is a contrast to the haziness, in a world surrounded by more cynical voices Slouching and cribbing, their language seems to be emaciated from long exposures to harsh environments Why buy more time after mortgaging them at the dreary looking shop where stingy … Continue reading Sane Voices
The exaggerated vibrato feels ostentatious Echoing the amplified feelings jostling within Lucid areas of turmoil expressed is resonance Reflexes of the vocal chord stretch and strain Even touching the horizons of evening despair Dome feels like an archipelago midst of nowhere Voices of infinity speak in silence to the soul ~Amitav Continue reading Articulation
What you tell, is what you hear from sundry voices Wait! Listen keenly to that feeble voice trying to connect Distracted heart and impatient ears go off to faraway lands Following those voices narrating from antsy moments When tongue gets tied with unscrupulous feelings Language dilutes with pessimism and sudden outbursts Disparaging the healthy language and discouraging hope Of listening to optimistic voices of transformation To … Continue reading Listen with Purpose
