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 Mar 2015
Life is but freedom
Born carefree
Simply the way we live
Nothing but love
For the beauty and acceptance
Deep within our world
We are aware of this simple rule
Acceptance, gratitude and change
Then we feared the simple
Started weaving a web of intricacies
Society was never the same
More complicated and prejudiced
Simple were looked at as insane
True love was under suspicion
Societal dogmas, mankind’s contribution
Vengeance against the tenets of life
That originally was gifted to us
Mired in numerous strings, which controls
Restricting our movement
We long forgot, life is freedom
True love is real, than ephemeral ones
We created this reality, we are in
None but us have to live like this
Until the time comes for us to break free
Go back to the unwritten golden rules
Where life should thrive
Without the fear from life itself
Amitav Radiance Aug 2014
Life is worthwhile when you see the sunrise
Listening to the chirpy birds making merry
Glinting dewdrops are nature’s solitaire
Pirouetting on the edges with nimble feet
Sun rays kissing life into all the half sleepy heart
Waking up to the fresh aroma of pristine dawn
Walking on bare grass to get a strong foothold
Feeling one with nature embracing me tight
It’s a symphony of the grandest orchestra
Starting our day with a pledge in our heart
In making this day all the more worthwhile
Amitav Radiance Apr 2015
Life’s agendas
Its workings and
Different paths
A written scroll
Hidden from us
Meanderings
Challenges
Meanings
Incidents
Happiness
Sadness
Fa­ilures
And
Successes
Mixed feelings
Fleeting moments
Shackled by time
Cosmic trails
Lonesome travelers
Chance meetings
Many influences
And languages
Plethora of emotions
Insatiable minds
All included
In life’s agendas
Finally released
From time’s grasp
Amitav Radiance Mar 2015
Life’s not an instant gratification
A tedious and rewarding journey it is
Patience is the key to learning
Life, the teacher, which shows the way
Everyday a new chapter, a different lesson
In humility, kindness, compassion and gratitude
With patience, it is an enriching experience
Hold on to life’s hand, trust a rewarding journey
Amitav Radiance Dec 2014
Life gives you a whirlwind spin
Tumbling here and there
And then wrung, almost dry
Then sun dries out the rest
Left hanging on the line
Amitav Radiance Dec 2014
Life’s like a beautiful painting
When you hold the color palette
And you have the urge to be a painter
Apply the beautiful colors
To create the most attractive painting
Brush away the blues
Put more colors of love
Mix the colors to get the desired hue
Let the canvas remind
How beautiful a painter you are
Amitav Radiance Apr 2015
Retrace the light’s path
Go back to the origin
Started with a flicker
Now, burns itself
Infinite and inexhaustible
From an unknown source
Only eternity
Keeps alive the core
Life’s caressed by light
Centuries of gratitude
Path of light
Is a revelation
Amitav Radiance Feb 2015
Caught between the mesh of rays
Light plays with the life’s existence
Oscillating between dawn, twilight and night
Etching out the horizon of life
Intrinsic influence on all the souls
This celestial space is swathed in new light
From the unknown origin, its journey
Cradles every life with equal benevolence
Kindles hope in every heart
Rays of light travels deeper into us
It heralds the beauty of every being here
Touches us with nimble rays
It’s an eternal repetition of the charmed circle
Amitav Radiance Apr 2015
Draw a line
Feel the boundary
Not to trip over
Or falter
Only a line
Yet, restricting
Undulating ground
No straight lines
We may try
To draw perfect lines
Futile attempts
Only chasms
Line goes deeper
In hearts and
Annals of history
Edges out many
Marginalizing humanity

Take time to understand
For you may jump to conclusions quickly
Amitav Radiance Sep 2014
Far away from the bustling town
There was a dilapidated cottage
Where the evenings were lit up with lamps
Lonely in the valley it stood, touching the horizon
Two lovely souls inhabited the home
Lamps shone brighter than electric lights
There was abundance of love to light up the world
The cottage was a shrine where love resided
There was less embellishments
But the grandeur of the souls there shone through
It was a humbling experience for any traveler from town
Amazed by the rich simplicity
With which it welcomed the weary traveler
Amitav Radiance Oct 2014
Roads don’t lead
To every place
On this planet
But the lure
Of the beauty
Of these haven
Is too much
To resist
The eyes have
Captured the serenity
And the heart
Yearns to reach there
Oblivious of the
Obstacles and barriers
Ready to carve
A road through
The rubble
Or even mountains
Scaling heights
Traveling length and breadth
Lonely feet
Will take the first steps
Towards the destination
Leaving behind
To embrace the unknown
Bravehearts will reach
No matter how
Creating roads
When there are none
Amitav Radiance Mar 2015
Lonely wanderings
Holding hands with the wind
Flying away to distant lands
Over the mountains and seas
So many questions does arise
A silent reprise of my music
None, but these ears are tuned
A braveheart’s sojourn unknown
Here for a tryst with soliloquy
Answers from the heart and soul
A new journey awaits the wanderer
Amitav Radiance Sep 2014
Words just lay scattered for long
Strewn all over the mind in pieces
Unable to gather from the corners
In the darkness, they lost relevance
Scattered thoughts waiting to regroup
But the mind had wandered elsewhere
The room locked away and forgotten
Where once the heart and soul resided
Looking for happiness elsewhere
A chance incident was a commotion
And once again looking for safe haven
Standing in front of the locked room
To gather the lost pieces of words
Depraved of attention, they lost weight
Not fed with the feelings and emotion
But once again it was time to gather
The strewn away pieces, neglected
And it was time to align them
With the ink that bled within
The pen was waiting for this moment
Amitav Radiance Apr 2014
A longing for eons
Without you realizing
My forsaken heart

Always looking around
Every day events unfold
In front of our eyes
And beyond
World is spacious
Abode for us
Why things happen
As they do
Why not any other way
Do we know all
Or, are we in the know at all
What we try to find
May not be there after all
We are on the fringes
Yet to be in the core
Are we afraid of depth
Or think it’s an abyss
Where we will get lost
We look around
Yet we can’t see
What eludes our senses
Just a thought
For us to keep looking
We maybe mirroring it
Without knowledge
Amitav Radiance Feb 2015
Loosen the strings
Attached to the world
Full of misery and darkness
Unbind the heart
Let free the soul
Unbounded spirit
Soars beyond happiness
Something extraordinary
Boundaries do not hold
Living the essence of free
Felt all over the being
Nothing but free spirited
When you loosen the strings
Amitav Radiance Jul 2014
When all the words lose their meaning
Only there are meaningless gestures
Fervently trying to make up for the loss
The body language gives off a paradoxical signal
And the soul is disjointed from the shell
Leaving speechless, for words have revolted
Futile attempts to convince the other
When nothing is in sync anymore
Syllables, dialogues, monologues fall on deaf ears
Speak from the heart and soul
And let not precious words lose their relevance
Amitav Radiance Dec 2014
Between the interpretation
And misinterpretation
Of Love
It suffers the most
Silently shedding tears
For it was never given a chance
To express itself
To the hearts that yearn
In all this conundrum
Love loses
And we blame it
For our misfortune
Amitav Radiance May 2015
Let love blossom in your heart
Set the intoxicating aroma free
Love, appeals to the deepest senses
Journey starts through sensual awakening
A realization of intricate facets of love
So many desired perceptions reflected
Eyes reflect the inner garden with blossoms
Paradise in waiting for the souls to roam
Every step takes further to a crescendo
Final awakening for the souls to real love
Amitav Radiance Dec 2014
So many paeans are sung
Yet so often misunderstood
Leaving the heart grieving
Not nurtured with caring hands
Grief and heartbreak are companions
Amitav Radiance Sep 2014
Forever the flame of love burns
Pure love transcends time
Embracing every seeker
Holding their hand to guide
To the abode filled with peace
An indestructible bond
That embraces every heart
Being grateful for what you have
Never a moment of darkness
Every day being grateful
For, love resides in the soul and heart
Dispels all the darkness around
Guiding even the vagrant travelers
To follow the path of love
Amitav Radiance Jan 2015
Love is not a hyperbole
Truth is in the subtleties
Arrives unexpectedly
Like gust of wind
To blow you away
And transport you
To a land of truth
Souls dance to its tune
In harmony
Till eternity, in your heart
Loves takes special space
In the realm of your life
Brings eternal sunshine
Amitav Radiance Apr 2014
The universal religion called Love
I am an ardent devotee and
Although I may stumble with words
Gestures of love help me bridge the gap
Surely it’s a feeling which has to be felt
When love resides in your soul
Making it the only hymn running across your mind
Love transcends all limiting boundaries
Opening our mind to new vistas
Traveling through the journey of life
Becomes so easy with the religion of love
A sense of gratitude engulfs me
Shielding me from the prying eyes of hatred
Seek within and spread love all around
Born out of love is our existence
Continue to live and leave a world full of love
For our children look up to us as teachers
And let us teach them the religion of Love

In proximity love may not thrive
Right foundation to build Love
It’s not like castles in the air
Love bridges the distant hearts
Connecting the two souls to unite
Expectations strangulate Love
It is not a silhouette of two
Love is the light that glows within
Not a fabrication of scheming minds
Trust the depth of Love and delve deep
Unsure if you are, stay away from it
Don’t taint the sanctity of Love
Everything has been said about Love, I guess. Sometimes, writings about them may sound clichéd. Tried to just pen down some thoughts about them.
Amitav Radiance Jul 2014
Very often the lies of lust seems more authentic
Credibility of the truth of Love is at stake
Amitav Radiance Dec 2014
Words seem to fade away
In the labyrinth of time
Feelings are carved within
The walls of our essence
Mellow light burns eagerly
To keep us warm
With the blanket of memories
Emotions are intricate designs
Beautifully crafted
With the love that holds true
Chiseled in every crevice
The walls beat with anticipation
Words have no meaning
Living with the deep emotions  
Called love
Amitav Radiance May 2014
Passion blossoms into a flower
Spreading its alluring fragrance
The wind is the messenger
Carrying the invitation of Love*

From your love fountain
You offered the charmed drink
Only to be intoxicated
As I slowly drown in you

When love goes unheard
And the song falls silent
Every bend seems a corner
Lonely walk cobbled street
Shadow gives you company
Faint light and pale glow
Memories are fresh
The love moments a mirage
Weary heart and staggering soul
Lonely stroll amid love lost
Unheard goes the plea
Broken heart and faint prayer
Love goes unheard
Amitav Radiance Jul 2015
Love is universal
Irrespective of
Language
Region
Religion
Race
Boundaries
Culture
Creed
Love’s language
Needs no words
It’s the actions
The generosity
And feelings
From the
Most sacred
Soul
Makes Love
Universal
And
Eternal
Amitav Radiance May 2015
Love’s quiet reminiscing
Hearts quiver with eagerness  
Every distance conquerable
Enwrapped in an eternal bind
Amitav Radiance Jul 2014
Love is forever
Its depth unknown
No words are enough
To express Love
It is tranquility
Inner self is in harmony
Love is eternity
Futile, who measures Love
There are no boundaries
Love is omnipresent
Those who abuse Love
Are not in coherence
With the Love in this world
Inflicting self with wounds
Its harmony is misunderstood
Love is eternal
It is not a phase
Love is in simplicity
It is in the smallest gestures
Love is not grandeur
As heart in Love is opulent
Love is not momentary
It is not infatuation
Love resides in every soul
Eluding those who are unaware
Love finds you
It depends if you accept, Love
Love should be in all relationships
Love is forever
Amitav Radiance Aug 2014
What but love is
if you have to explain
Hidden not in words
but in good deeds
Amitav Radiance Jul 2014
Love is in ruins
Kneeling for mercy
Strangulated hopes
Fiefdom of tyranny
Silent weeps of soul
At the altar of Love
There is remorse
Stranded humanity
Devils show no remorse
Love is in ruins
Amitav Radiance Feb 2015
The sanctum sanctorum of love
Reverberates with the waves
From the souls that are in harmony
Welcomed with a tranquil presence
Uplifts you from mere existence
Surrounds you with the freedom
Where hearts run wild with euphoria
Dances to the signature tunes
Each note birthed from the souls
Prepare for a symphony of grandiose
Ostentatious display of true feelings
None, but the connoisseurs of Love
Are captivated with the harmony
When Love is interpreted from heart
This is for Love that does not alter
Remains etched in the mind, forever
Love is not a word, but a feeling, true
Neither what the world deciphers
It is not what we see everyday
Only with access to the sanctum sanctorum
Feel the love that's rare
Therein, lies the truth
Amitav Radiance Jul 2015
Love is contrary to popular beliefs
The heart knows when it descends
to fill every corner with tranquility
Taking you to a higher realm
where you connect with another soul
There is no doubt in the mind
when eyes have met and got fascinated
Resolve of the soul is higher
to delve deeper into each other’s world
Amitav Radiance May 2014
The frozen heart of the maiden
As the burning flame is smothered
And trampled upon, by her lover
Every tear drop that falls on her *****
Quietly drains out the love, she once had
As her heaven within, turns to quietude
There is no music playing from the flute
Only solitude has cast a spell of gloom
Clouding her heart from the sunshine
Leaving her with nothing, but pall of gloom
She can’t feel any love in her frozen heart, again*

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
Amitav Radiance Feb 2015
Love's misunderstood
By the heart
That’s unable to feel
We give the meanings
So many tags
Yet, love’s above all
We trivialize
And jeopardize
Expectations galore
None that Love wants
Above all our
Laid down rules
It’s akin to freedom
We seem to burden
It with materialistic
Paraphernalia
Love is rustic
Most simple of feelings
Complicated over the ages
Converted to a drama
Scripted by falsity
It’s above those words
Revealing the soul
To a pristine feeling
Thrown into murkiness
Sinister deals
Much effort to malign
Beautiful Love
Let Love be
Away from
Convoluted thoughts
Amitav Radiance Jan 2015
Lure of lust
Love’s lost
Burning passion
Cinders remain
Heart’s remnants
Amitav Radiance May 2014
Lovers are thirsty
Till they don’t drink the love potion
Their souls are aching
Till they don’t delve into each other*

A rendezvous between hearts  
Secrets shared with a kiss
Amitav Radiance Jul 2014
Amorous play
Heightened senses
Lover’s in rhythm
Thrilling chase
Entwined heart
Awakened passions
Fervent tango
Delicate moves
Love’s Aroma
Exhilarating feelings
Lover’s at play
Amitav Radiance Aug 2014
Lovers parted ways
Drifted apart continents
Submerged in ocean’s depth
Amitav Radiance Jan 2015
Don’t walk out on love
When it comes knocking
Leaving the door ajar
Arms akimbo
Elbowing out the vibes
Every chamber of the heart
Filled with spurn
Verbal volleys
Destroying the core of love
Fueled with disgust
Love burns
In agony is the heart
The messenger of love
Knocked at the wrong door
With the right message
To the incorrect address
Destiny plays foul
Before it’s late
Desolate becomes the house
Only regret!
