There are no elaborate or noteworthy details to brag about, in a very simple phrase, “ You will see a reflection of yourself in me” even if it is just a minuscule bit of your existence....

The Disconnect

Share

Forget “if” The if is a meaningful source Of illusions and mind games Of “but” and “could be” Of have nots the cause and creation Of desires Bound by the norms Barricaded within The metal encasement Of an attire made out of “self” The very self that stands between Words And Actions Holding back A […]

midnight dead silence a blob that flutters against the ribcage faster stronger ahead of me ahead of time never quitting just achingly alive while the rest begs to differ dry and parched yet drowning too tired to surface too feeble to begin a journey within into the wilderness of my existence incoherently ticking like a […]

The Decay

Share

Slow and torturous,  every jibe,  every single stroke  is stronger than the previous attack.  Strong enough to just shatter  and a little shy  of complete  and absolute destruction. I may have not been seeking  more wisdom to contemplate  whatever is the superior plan.  I do not believe  that an elaborate reward awaits  and my patience […]

Beyond Life 

Share

Make a fusion Of life and beyond life And foes and companions Scale companionship  And learn the myriad ways  This cycle goes on Drench into streams Of gold from the sun And richness of blue sparkling brooks Tell me which is better? Breathe into the sweetness without looking And feel the innocence of young blossoms […]

If it matters

In an eloquent But bizzare  Dreamy and blurry  Bits and pieces  of  An incomplete story I hope to heal Some gaping bruises A balm that would miraculously  heal Mend  Put together shape up  And re-model The truth  Behind a very gray Almost dark  Practically non-existent  Hierarchy of events Re-write the plot Punch in some beleivable […]

Apathy

what is the proposed plan? offered to guise the dreaded silence, the hard exterior, the mute display, the  mental block, the concrete stone wall, the indifference, how can I pour some chaos? shift the sales, of a boat headed into the misty stagnant currents, it is sickening, how still my soul lays these days, there […]

While I was gone..

Share

you plunged, and dived, into the softness, into the very depth, of the darker, more gullible, phases of the story, story of my life, very benignly, penetrating into the sieves, into the disaster borne, blunderous mess, one after the other, slowly occupying victoriously, every possible, barren piece of prohibited land, promising  a reward for being […]

Creeks of nothingness.

Share

Amidst the  graveyard of metaphors, There is just this .. Soul, Plucked out of a body, That lay limp,   Symbols of carnal needs, Snares of folly, Greed, Hunger, All evils, That make the gravel and cement Of a blinding bridge, Glistening, And charming, Obscuring the vision, Engulfing the judgement, And power to recognize, To speciate, […]

Midnight sky.

Midnight sky, And tapestries of dreams, Dreams and moons and you, Dazing and luring, Enticing, Drawing, Tempting, Captivating like a prey, A prisoner, Dumbfound under the spell, Succumbing, And starving, For sustenance, Of maddest journey, Into the passion, That consumes, All fears, Fusing the adventurous souls, Gloriously, Scribbling their story, On the wings of time, […]
