Lovely Adventure
Amitav Radiance May 2015
Two love adventurers
Welcome the night
Many curves to explore
Trace the unknown haven
Clues spelled out with soft sighs
Finding each other’s comfort
Soul’s feel the warmth to the core
It’s an inseparable embrace
Sending shivers down every nerve
Finally to love adventurers
Exploiting the lovely terrains
Reach the peak of contentment
Now they lay exhausted
After a satisfying adventure

Stronger Bonds
Amitav Radiance May 2015
Pick up the strands
Unwounded painstakingly
Making the rope weaker
Hands that held on to it
Now cannot rely on its strength
Weakened bonds may give away
Before it’s too late
Pick up the strands
Let the hands work together
Test its strength
United with passion
Now bonds will be stronger

One Word
Amitav Radiance May 2015
There is only one word

Cosmic secret
Amitav Radiance May 2015
The cosmic secret
Revealed to the seeker
Aware of every particle
Everything becomes tangible
For the soul
Reality is conveyed
Through the simplest life forms

Avarice
Amitav Radiance May 2015

The Search
Amitav Radiance May 2015
We keep on searching
Inventing and re-inventing
Dexterous minds
Looking for solutions
Problems seeded deeper
Takes root firmly
As we hone our skills
To mitigate our fate
We create a bid divide
Chasm wide and unfathomable
Disarrayed paths
Somnambulists take the lead
Unknown hurdles
Every time they falter

Fine Lines
Amitav Radiance May 2015

Splitting the thick veneer

Scraped away to the core

Being You
Amitav Radiance May 2015
Is that you?
Standing against the whole world
You and everyone else
Difficult stand, no doubt
Feet firm on the ground of individuality
On the verge of iconoclasm
Feel the world staring at you, in disbelief
Why not conformity?
The usual stance taken by others
As if you are standing trial
Nothing seems to be convincing
Your ways do not seem trustworthy
That’s how it is, with the world
Convicted of not being a part of the whole
Standing out without remorse
It’s you against you
When the whole society will push you
Towards trials and tribulations
You have to be stronger to hold your ground

This Wanderer
Amitav Radiance May 2015
Undulating meadows
Glimpse of the horizon
Blue and green is a contrast
Deepening colors
Sun kissed grasses
And dewdrops sparkling
Trees sway in merriment
Romancing the wind
Birds give a clarion call
Into the heart of nature
It’s a realization of different kind
Hope springs in heart
This wanderer is not lost

In Retrospect
Amitav Radiance May 2015
A retrospect fit
Modern dilemma
Unanswered questions
A disconnect
With yesterday and today
In between life happens
Vacillating mind
Heart’s left behind
Trying to gather
All the memories
Do not answer the puzzle
Scattered pieces
Unfulfilled spaces
A retrospect life
Soul lives for today
With many questions
Hovering in the mind

Paths
Amitav Radiance May 2015
We have created paths
Where there were none
Humanity marches on
Roads interconnected

So many crossroads’
Crowd of humanity
Wading though

Destination
Roads shall remain
New crowd will join
Same roads and destinations
It’s time to take
A different route

A Traveler
Amitav Radiance May 2015
The heart’s not homebound
Wanderlust soul seeks to travel
Through the enormous universe
Feel the harmony of cosmic energy
This heart wants to travel beyond

Our thoughts
Amitav Radiance May 2015
As we congregate
For centuries
Humanity had
The best thoughts
To create an ecosystem
Where all lives can thrive
But somewhere
We have lost the plot
And veered away
From the values
That all lives matter
Now minuscule section
Takes decisions for us
Manipulating the ecosystem
Creating a façade
For us to believe
Lot many minds think alike
Individual thoughts drown
Mirror is the only escape
Where we can talk to ourselves
Without the distortions

Everyday
Amitav Radiance May 2015
Everyday things fade away
Without us realizing
While we try to embrace them
Trying to cherish them forever
Not realizing our fleeting existence
Like grains of sand, they slip away
Life itself starts without our knowledge
We know not our destination, yet
We have to trust the cosmic cycle
And let everything fade away
Now is all we have to ponder upon

Near the flowing Stream
Amitav Radiance May 2015
Look carefully
At your reflection
Water stands still now
Yes it seems so
Quietly flows downstream
Every moment
Flows with the water
To an unknown destination
You stand there
Water carries away your thoughts
Your reflection
Silently giving you a new identity
You can feel lighter
After cleansed of the past
Look at the flowing water
And choose to relinquish any agony
Your tears shall blend
As part of your inner turmoil
Is washed away
Giving you a new lease of life

To Comprehend
Amitav Radiance May 2015
Not everything can be comprehended
Although few things might exist in obscurity
Before we condemn and deny their presence
We should either try to look for a path
That leads to the obscure existence
Bring them to the light and let the eyes believe
Or we can live in complete denial and not try
If we fail to comprehend, it’s not a shortcoming

Train Journey
Amitav Radiance May 2015
I want to board the train to nowhere
Two parallel track never to meet
Through verdant landscapes
And long dark tunnels through mountains
Through the morning dew
And torrential rains
Between deep woods and loneliness
Let the train travel till eternity
Filled with passengers who does not know time
Winding through the trails of nowhere
This train journey will be on tracks for eternity
Crossing breathtaking bridges
Looking at the dangerous abyss makes us dizzy
Train continues with the journey
Sitting by the window, landscapes scrape by
This train to nowhere, is the ultimate journey
We are all passengers traversing various lands
Two parallel track never to meet

Rage
Amitav Radiance May 2015
Dragons spewing fire
Incarcerating the burning soul
Hatred seeded within

Blown away by the winds

Scathed with dark stains
Fire burns one and all

Through poetry
Nothing else matters
When you
Just write

To the euphoric celebration

Faulty Premises

Hold on to sanity
Understand the chaos

Ignore the peripheral fracas
Whirlwind of ideas
Guarded by faulty premises
Nurtured for long

Look beyond the edges
Cacophony of hearts
Drowns the sanity
Hold on little longer
Sanity will prevail
Face the chaos
Trespass the faulty boundaries

Slumber
Amitav Radiance May 2015
An illusionary sleep
Has taken over every soul
Eyes wide open
Yet the vision is blurred
Every step is a stupor
Across broken paths
Not an inch of freedom
Spaces are traps
Detached from the soul
Every waking hour a tribulation
Truth swept under the delusion
Under an unknown spell
Magic wand instructs every move
It’s time to wake up
From an illusionary sleep
