Amitav Radiance Jan 2015
Night’s raven black
Perched surreptitiously
Soaking in the stillness
Waiting for the first gleam
Of dawn to sneak in
So it can fly away for now
Nestled between time
Of juxtaposition  
Night’s been a wait
Before the day’s out again
Amitav Radiance Jan 2015
Unheard goes the inner voice
Influenced by so many callings
Grandiloquent words
Shimmering with enticement
Inherent power becomes feeble
Pulled in different directions
You may not want to tread
Amitav Radiance Jan 2015
Soft rays of the morning light
Are in a playful mood
Playing hide n seek
Between the leaves
Seeing my window ajar
They plan to invade my world
Radiance permeates the air
My heart leaps with joy
Mind wanders across the sky
Unleashed from any prejudices
Makes the day worthwhile
As they swathe my soul with gratitude
Morning light, harbinger of hope
Sun, the talisman
Bringing all the happiness together
A new day and new beginning
Beauty, that’s eternal
Amitav Radiance Jan 2015
Misconstrued is the thought
Not aligned with popularity
Looked upon with skepticism
Maybe it shall not find its place
And due recognition, today
There’s always a tomorrow
To welcome with open arms
It shall be bestowed
With the rays of a new Sun
A new day
The thought shall outshine
Every rejection
Amitav Radiance Jan 2015
Façade colored with
The brightest colors
Yet, they look lackluster
Every year a fresh coat
Making it a ritual
To paint away the yesteryear
When blemishes appear
Once the colors loved
Now, fade away from memory
Layers upon layers
Trying to hide realities
Fault lines and cracks
Making the walls weaker
No one cares anymore
Not time to sit and ponder
Colors can only hide temporarily
In the long run
Even the brightest colors
Will fade in front of, true colors
Façade with discordant hues
Trying to wipe away
The discordant world
It may take years, or generations
But façade will be exposed
Amitav Radiance Jan 2015
From consciousness
Are birthed your thoughts
Whose rays
Strikes the mind’s mirror
To create a reflection
Of your imagination
Silhouette at first
Bordering the edges of light
Finally, becomes clearer
To those with vision
Amitav Radiance Jan 2015
The trembling hands
When you look at the blank pages
Minds wandering for inspiration
Wary of touching the pristine
Ink raging, bubbling with passion
When the pen shall write
The first words, and then another
Minds afresh, it’s a new day
Pen, held between the twirling fingers
Wondering, what a circus
Reeling under as many ideas
Poet’s mind is on a roller coaster ride
So many facets of life
Reflections of each and every event
On the agile mind, wreaks havoc
Ideas, ideas, and ideas
Hoping the ink shall flow as fluently
Not leaving a blotch
But, series of beautiful interpretations
Of life, there are many
As many we choose to portray
Finally, the pen shall kiss the paper
Continuing the love story
It’s a trilogy, of the poet, pen and paper
