Ushered to my life stealthily
Through the backyard
Basking there patiently
Finding an appropriate moment
Knocking at my window
With an ardent plea
Once, I let her in
She was there to remain
Forever in my heart
Time flew away
With her presence
But memories won’t fade away
Still, the window is open
In remembrance of her first step
Into my heart, that still beats for her

Find what ye shall seek
Wish for the rarest treasures
Don’t spin web of complexities
Rendezvous with the silent voice
Be alert, lest you miss the calling
Extraneous attractions are detours
Towards a maze of unsavory destination
Choose to make the right choices
Patience is the key to open such avenues
Make every travel worthy as a traveler
It’s a satisfaction, none greater than any
Soul basks in realization of the truth
Eternal glory, which outshines the darkness

Words may be a hindrance
Forming hard crust over feelings
You wanted to convey
At the core of those words
The true meaning is lost forever
At times, when words don’t suffice
Pure and raw feelings are more potent
There are many miles traversed
Between the feelings and the words
Somewhere, the line is drawn inadvertently
Hurdles imaginary are the toughest ones
Endless numbers of words do not right
The wrongs meted out to the true feelings
Heart will wither away, if not revived
At the avenue where words are shunned
It’s where hearts shall meet, without prejudice
Not weighed down by the frills of words
Life is embellished with silence
When hearts do the talking, sans the words
Amitav Radiance Feb 2015
Darkness seeds the deepest crevices
With life-forms unknown to the world
Away from the glare and light of day
Unknown, yet they continue to thrive
A parallel system of lifestyle
Adapted to the harshest of conditions
Not in harmony with the lit up world
But in perfect sync with darkness itself
Amitav Radiance Feb 2015
The blink of an eye
Is an eye-opener
So much change
Eyes can’t believe
As if eyelids
Are pulled by strings
Puppetry of events around
Our vision in a time warp
Soul has already envisioned
The events here and beyond
Late we realize this
Trusting our eyes for guidance
Soul and eyes aligned
Gives a deeper perspective
Much beyond the surface of things
An eternal understanding
To foresee what we are and will be
Amitav Radiance Feb 2015
So many imprints
Left behind by memories
Idle moments
Urges us to walk back
Down the path, almost faded
Time has not yet
Obliterated the territories
Inhabited, at different times in past
Now, barely manages to hold
Over time, will be completely erased
But, for now slide down, unwillingly
Revisiting the memories
Some happy and others heart wrenching
Insipid and sepia moments
Memories that the mind won’t let go
Sometimes they become a vortex
And you are siphoned off
To a known, yet now, fading events
Amitav Radiance Feb 2015
Free the heart of prejudice
Unleash the mind from impaling thoughts
River of life, poisoned with lethal ideas
Do not bleed unto death
A stoic existence, between the dark alleys
Life will never be the same
Give freedom a chance, breathe the exuberance
