Approaching Darkness-Another Journey

Eventide returning to the darkness again, another surrender, lonely soul sighs Time takes a pause before hiding the shadows; a quiet existence takes over Repetitive goodbye’s, tired soul reminisces the vanishing memories Darkness reverberates through the altered existence, a coexistence of reflections and contradictions Forced dreams are boring, better still, to stroll the deserted paths No hurried movements there, not even a whisper of influence … Continue reading Approaching Darkness-Another Journey

Divergence

It must have stung, but the skin has been unresponsive for a while Determining the emotions in the dark; a tiring work, disrupting the schedule Impatience has hastened the confrontations with a world upturned The shadows have been persistent, like the puppetry of unseen hands Dilemma is now an intense divide- two characters accusing the reflections Waking up to exist in a life that pulsates … Continue reading Divergence

Pain of Today and Tomorrow

When you say goodbye to the day. reluctantly. after a sigh and a glance Through the corners of the tired eyes, so wary of the unworthy images Garishly painted over the incongruous objects, the homes sigh alone Towering through the rarefied environment while spaces shrink here Either taken away to be designed in a restrictive plan or hidden from view Of the rightful people, who … Continue reading Pain of Today and Tomorrow

Crossing Paths

Emotions running across the unsafe wilderness There is no choice! To choose freedom for them amidst the chaos Scary, being hurled in a viewless reality, dashing toward fatal surrender Now the morning grips the soul with an unfriendly embrace Hovering ravens know of a cryptic secret, hovering like a premonition While in this idleness, so many feelings have crossed each other Oblivious of each other, … Continue reading Crossing Paths

The Prolonged Winter

When thoughts are feverish and the winter melancholic All the emotions curl up within, a rare display of trust Everything is touched by lies and stories unsuitable for the fainthearted Without fair warning, the deep covers of lamentations hide feelings Trickled down, whilst went unheard for a long time Someone authorizes the forceful surrender of the pure emotions Taking over the consciousness, as if it … Continue reading The Prolonged Winter

Where We Are- A Different World

How life can provide a glimpse of unprecedented times O’ the solitariness became more intense, an arbitrary choice May be by design of the unpardonable nature; after maligning the universe Acquiring this serenity so early in life, abandoning the flock of thoughts Struggles in silence are difficult for the mightiest of warriors Patience can be like the faltering light of a sacrificing candle So much … Continue reading Where We Are- A Different World

To The World

After a prolonged recess the winter is like a familiar guest Fleeting thoughts while rarely journeying anywhere A new world has emerged from another realm, not anyone’s dream Hoping for a pleasurable goodbye and waiting for another time Peaceful overlap of fresh colours, wiping off the dreariness Unable to bear the absence of frolicking moments anymore Childhood reminisces have been more frequent these days Waving … Continue reading To The World

Stare

You cannot breathe through glass But feel the breathing of another world Separated by unfair feelings In hues of contradictions, they reflect illusory dreams One can be tempted to chase them Fantasy cannot be held with mortal hands The Spirit of the mind is different Residing in a parallel world Receiving directions from a mirage Across vast landscapes of elusive nature Reality in a flash, … Continue reading Stare

Arriving

Brief moments of respite Sidestepping the tumult Growing protests and chaos Tranquillity is necessary If, still fond of life Time to entwine Emotions and patience Facing the stiff challenges The soul may be weary Dreams are necessary To steal from the darkness Some sanity, stealthily Temporarily overshadowed Light will be there If one has to walk Tirelessly through uncertainty Courageously, seeking answers From the ancient … Continue reading Arriving

Dreams of Peace

Through the raging times, looking for peace Willing to douse the fire that is uncontrollable Rebels revel at the kind of a dystopian cure Without watching the steps of wrathful time Lingering sorrow and a frowning reality Cruel reflections across the once placid waters Distressed ripples distort the images of a world Once again the space is devoid of consciousness Raucous words devastate the faith … Continue reading Dreams of Peace
