Writhing, churning the mind of insolence
A seething Pain oozing, creating a trance
Suspended inside undulating darkness
And heavy chains shackling lightness
Ripples, swaying the animated mirrors
Reflecting violent, psychotic thoughts
Unabashed by the reality collapsing in
Leaving a hollow, empty husk therein

Walk with me on the edges of a thread
Waiting for you and me at the knot’s end
The needle joining the seams together
By the hands of an unknown master
Stitching the cloak with such intricacy
That recreating it would only be fallacy

Still, as the untouched glass of water
Flowing, as the memories dissolve inside
Absolute, as its essence remains unchanged
Wavering, as it absorbs the experiences
Time unhinges the very fabric of existence
Only to become its preexisting condition

Convoluted emanations of the intellect
Proliferating pillars of translucent light
Spheres of thought orbiting infinitude
Ascending past the perception of time
Colliding the past, present and future
Creating the void that is imperceptible
To arrange the very fabric of existence

Twilight pouring in the atmosphere
Filling the sky with it’s heavy dose
I’ll wait till the sunset empties itself
To watch the dancing stars myself
Playing with my only friends tonight
Until I doze off soundly till the first light

He unfolded his red turban lying on his khaat
Seeing me in my new ghagra-choli he bought
The evening sun setting in his eyes like a candle
While the stars sing as I watch him eat dal bhat
Tonight, I will be awake in all the quarters of the night
Watching your dreams tune away by the sarangi at my side
​

The victors of war raging in their voilent wrath
A loom of clouded darkness wrapping the world
Death over shadowing life like a burning chaos
Within it all foaming under the bloodied sands
The fury, the miasma, the ferocity like wild hounds
Tearing apart the judgment, one by one, slowly
Of those who fell and those that finally survived
But at what cost? When their mind has already died
And for what reason? When their soul is already lost

The crackling waves speak gently
Come back from the distant shore
Nobody is waiting for you anymore
Only thousands of memories buried
Only an empty pain hidden beneath
Asleep peacefully inside the cold earth
So come float away with me in this berth

Where are we?
When I ask a stranger
Standing above the city
Inside this world, I wake up
Recollect a dream inside a dream
Did I sleep, I want to believe
And then my thoughts wander
I see the busy street fill up
Thousands of different faces
Why are they all here?
Alone, I speak my mind out
The people still keep staring
And I close my eyes again
Standing above the city
When I ask a stranger
Where are we?
