A moment holds Time eternity
A life is moment stretched
Trying to define and set boundaries
We are just travelling through eternity
So many episodes and memories
As our consciousness allows us to hold
Events, stirring the still waters inside
Our body just an encasing for the soul
Soul is indestructible, for it is eternal
Not bounded by the chains of expectations
Rises above all, to meet the cosmos settlers
Mutual handshake with the eternal Truth
We are on a journey, travelers within Earth
Our destination, is eternity, beyond time and space
It’s one big dome, where we all are audience
Once we have traveled through Life
Waiting for the extravaganza to begin
Where we do not judge and compare
As we are all the parts of the same Choate
Just wrote this. I don't know if it really makes any sense, maybe ramblings of a poet. But couldn't stop myself from writing this and posting it here.
Amitav Radiance Dec 2014
When words comes calling
Begging for your attention
Meddling with your feelings
Wanting to drown in them
And mix with your emotions
A potent concoction of poetry
Is splashed all over the pages
The ink spills over
And you get lost in the reverie
Amitav Radiance Dec 2014
Sketching the life’s anecdotes
With a heavy charcoal pencil
Weight of regret trudges along
Smudging the present feelings
The lines of the palm are hidden
Behind thick darkness of charcoal
Haze of blackness colors everything
Regrets leave an indelible mark
Hard to erase the deep trail of regret
Amitav Radiance Nov 2014
The voice in your head
Is not a deception
We seem to mute it often
Listening to the explanations
Given by many
On the issues close to your heart
Not privy to your situation
Only solutions
A recipe for disaster
Tune into your inner voice
Listen closely
For, the solution is there
Amitav Radiance Nov 2014
If calmness prevails, within
One is not perturbed easily
Soul that has seen real love
Appreciates the simple things
We are the universe
We can achieve much more
Than we have
Amitav Radiance Nov 2014
We emphasize, we are different, but there is an underlying sameness, which we ignore
Amitav Radiance May 2015
The heart’s ways
Take a forlorn path
Mind takes time
To appreciate
Long before
A realization
Of two parallels
Never to meet
Amitav Radiance Aug 2014
The songs we sing
Composed in nature’s tune
Don’t ruin it!
Amitav Radiance May 2015
Let the sun kiss your soul
Wake up the silent world
Meditate on the paradise
Released from night’s caress
Simple seeds of wisdom
Sown just before dawn
Let the sunlight rejuvenate
And paradise be in full bloom
When night eases into dawn
Dreams get a lease of life
Imaginations beyond hold
You are a free traveler
Let the sun kiss your soul
Amitav Radiance May 2014
Her soul was clenched in the hands of distress
The feeble screams were reverberating in the dungeon
Not even the faintest light were allowed to entertain her
Till her soul regained the power to scream
Only her soulmate in distant land could hear it
As everyone was oblivious of her agony and suffering
Defying all odds, the soulmate reclaimed his Love*

Soul is the sole sanctuary
A sojourn for serenity
A soulful journey starts
And sorority with peaceful self
Salvaging the soul from strife*

The soul finds solace
In the soliloquy
As sense prevails
Sonorous voice
Touches the self
Making complete sense
Simple moments
Salubrious to the soul
Mind and heart in sync
Simple seeking
Worth the search
Amitav Radiance Sep 2014
Standing here in this celestial space
A small stage in the cosmic arena
Looking up at the vast canvas above
Wondering, what I may stumble upon
Is there a replica of this planet anywhere?
Or, am I lucky to inhabit this isolated planet?
Where we have only each other to rely on
And the only place which harbors life
And let go of our delusion of supremacy
For, we maybe all alone in this universe
Maybe, we do not understand it yet?
Amitav Radiance Oct 2014
So much space here
Yet we are jostling
Each other to create one
So much we have
But dissatisfaction galore
How much we need
We cannot decide
Spaces have become abysses
Fighting triviality
And our heart is void
Of all compassion
Empty spaces and barren
Hearts that don’t feel
Empty spaces
Where no feelings reside
Amitav Radiance Apr 2015
Spaces within a space
Small abodes demarcated
With blank spaces
Unusual emptiness
Desertification of
Fertile spaces
Once vibrant with life
Now abandoned
Strife and turmoil
Creates vacant spaces
Where love should dwell
Mistaken emptiness
Where bonds are strengthened
We widen the gap
Creating new empty spaces
Leaving it open and vulnerable
Amitav Radiance Nov 2014
Soul stirring kiss
Feelings are aroused
veils lay scattered
only the bare truth
articulating love
revealing secrets
of the souls
world’s anonymous
this, the only truth
Amitav Radiance Feb 2015
Spoonful of hope
Poured with care
Elixir to rejuvenate
The dim realities
Gulped down
For it to find its way
Through the
Corridors of malady
To infuse hope
Bleak moments
Will surely brighten
Gaining strength
To fight another day
Amitav Radiance Dec 2014
We are all into this together
Yet, thoughts are fragmented
Creating innumerable islands
No one willing to extend support
Bound with invisible constraints
After years, unable to move
Cloistered, with deformed soul
There is an eternal drought
When devoid of emotions
Amitav Radiance Apr 2015
When the world will come to a halt
And words will be frozen within
Feelings halted in dark corridors
Emotions buried in piles of debris
World will be shocked to react
Humanity will be jolted to numbness
These idiosyncrasies’ will have no effect
No philosophy will be able to decipher
World will be shown the truth and futility
So much hurt, pain, wars and bloodshed
World will be scarred beyond recognition
As we hide behind political correctness
We have already marginalized humanity
From the deepest cosmic philosophies
We may have erred many times and still do
Lest we find ourselves orphaned one day
This abode will not be our shelter anymore
Left deserted, emptiness will reverberate
Opportunity lost, we have plundered it
Not much of a path is left for tired limbs
Our journey of futility and exasperation
Disconnected from the cosmic bonds
World will be a standstill, and time frozen
Amitav Radiance Jun 2015
Gazing at the star filled sky
Makes the silent night worthwhile
These bright spots of light
Birthed from starburst galaxies
This diamond studded night’s canopy
Brings glimmering hope in my eyes
Chiseled with perfection
Lights are not going to shut off till eternity
Looking at the night sky
Is gazing into eternity in this lifetime
Amitav Radiance Jul 2014
When I am looking at the stars
I can feel the sparkle within
Makes me wish for sky
If I could walk amongst them
For now I wish upon a falling star
To welcome me every night
With the starry canvas
Nights become festive
Amitav Radiance Aug 2014
Soulful existence neath the stars
Millions of hope sparkling above
Its blaze is just a soothing light
For me to contemplate on the past
I try to connect the glittering stars
Sketching the thoughts in my mind
How far they maybe for me to touch
I connect with them from my heart
Eroding the distance between us
Hoping to find a place amongst them
Waiting to sparkle in the night sky
And connect with another stargazer
Amitav Radiance Jun 2015
This is better than that
Abhor change, as always
Why not this?
It has been like this
Change seems a tough choice
Why make choices, yourself?
When choices are ****** on us
Let’s not talk
Lest someone objects
Maintain silence
Easier way to live
Why right the wrongs?
When we can’t spot the differences
Go with the flow
Join the bandwagon
Let’s maintain the status quo
We choose
What others have chosen for us
We do not differ
For we my stand out from the crowd
See, it’s a status quo
You fail to visualize
Amitav Radiance May 2014

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
Amitav Radiance Jan 2015
The night’s canvas
Sparkling with solitaire
Astral tales
Woven in the tapestry
Intricate designs
A stellar spectacle
In the eyes
Are new desires  
Blink, you miss
Amitav Radiance Sep 2014
I can feel the stillness around
The harbinger of secret knowledge
Wind whispers the message in my ear
Stirring the silence within me
And everything finite becomes infinite
As I lose myself in the depth of stillness
Amitav Radiance Jul 2014
All around there is stillness
But the mind is racing ahead
Flashing visits of memories
Zooming across my eyes
Stillness can’t put my mid to rest
Amitav Radiance Jan 2015
Oscillating between
The known and unknown
More unknown we have
Speculations and hypotheses
Trying to make it believable
Greater part of reality
Cloaked in anonymity
Wonder, when truth shall
Reveal it all
Amitav Radiance Sep 2014
The walk along the streets of fame
Streetlights illuminating the night
Dazzles are but fleeting moments
Adulation of the crowds will wane
Looking through the dark glasses
To fend off the bright camera flashes
Offered the spotlight by bright lights
They will switch off during the day
Temporary embellishments will disappear
With ease walk the streets
Where fame is just not a stereotype
Amitav Radiance Aug 2014
Strong breeze blowing
Walking against it, defying the force
Swept away the melancholy
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
Amitav Radiance Aug 2014
The roots that run deep are strong
Facing the harsh winter and not wither
Holding ground and waiting for spring
Amitav Radiance Jun 2015
Strong winds may uproot you
Unsettle your stoic resignation
You will be shaken and stirred
Lot of ponderings and doubts
In the middle of nowhere
When gravity does not give hope
Become a fearless traveler
Encounter the strong winds
No matter where you settle
Continue to spread your roots, deeper
Your soul is still with you
Nothing can stop you from reliving
Every unsettling episode
Will teach you to be more resilient
Amitav Radiance Aug 2014
The subtle makes an impact
Our eyes are enticed towards embellishments
Blinded by the glare
Amitav Radiance Jul 2014
Suffering stirs up the soul
In agony, there are new realizations
Right in the middle, starts a chaotic vortex
Draining up all the energy, leaving the body numb
The mind is aware, yet it can’t control the situation
Getting more and more ****** into the commotion
The uneasiness unsettles the whole constitution
Shaking the belief for some time, yet, takes a heavy toll
Suffering gives a new awakening, to life’s adversities
Sometimes, we have to silently and vehemently fight
Like a lone fighter, up against, so many enemies
The mind as a weapon, is all you have
Sharpen it and keep it agile, as it’s the only weapon
To fight the sufferings, that gets hold of you
Amitav Radiance Mar 2015
There’s sunshine in every heart
Sometimes cloudy and gloomy
Days may seem longer than usual
Sun is on leave for a brief period
Heart surrounded by heavy clouds
It may not hold on for much time
Before the showers overwhelm
Parched soul and heart is relieved
Drenched heart may feel melancholic
But rains shall wash away the pain
There’s sunshine in every heart
Warmth and hope will shine through
After the rains the world is clearer
Sunrays through the prism of life
Rainbows shall adorn the horizon
There’s sunshine in every heart
Amitav Radiance Oct 2014
Life’s beautiful surprises
Are bunch of flowers
Adorning the otherwise mundane
Delighted heart
Brings tears of joy
Amitav Radiance Oct 2014
Take a deep breath
And close your eyes
Images comes rushing
You thought may have faded
From the memory
Yet, they now come back
Where had they been?
Hiding, when the eyes were open
Now in silence
You start reliving those events
You were a part of
Marred with sadness or
Joyous moments you cherished
Take a long breath
You are overwhelmed
With the rush of images
So profound
Yet, you were not aware
With eyes open
But they had been locked away
And closing your eyes
You looked inward
Unlocking the secret vault
It’s quite a time
When the mind goes berserk
Creating a turmoil
In the usual life of yours
A small storm
Which rocked the boat
Images are profound
Amitav Radiance Sep 2014
Out beyond all that are seen and felt
Looking out for what maybe or could be
That never has been experienced before
The quiet imagery that’s been painted
Which traverses the line of conformity
Surrealism seems to take over
Decoding the new found reality
Amitav Radiance Apr 2015
Surreal landscape
Silky smooth winds
Assuring caresses
Enlightened bonds
Glamorous display
Enthralled spectator
Nature’s sanctuary
Alluring wilderness
Untamed hearts
Rolling over
Nature’s carpet
Enticing gazes
Euphoric moments
Pristine backdrop
Unrestrained hearts
Sweet surrender
Intense meanings
Amitav Radiance Dec 2014
The cosmic pendulum swaying
We are trying to dodge it for long
No one has ever been successful
To devise a means to be eternal
Swishing us away from here and there
No one will ever lay their hands
It will still be swinging away
When everyone will be gone
We are running against time
Before, the universe releases its grip
Amitav Radiance Oct 2014
Flowers are hope for bees
That there will be nectar
Served on their every visit
Amitav Radiance Jan 2015
Pulsating resonance
Symphony to the ears
Heart beats for you
Orchestrated moves  
Straight to your heart
Signature tunes
Auras hum simultaneously
Known steps
Dancing to a frenzy
Claiming each other
Souls are entwined
Enchanted settings
Stage is ours
Perfect moments
Can’t be explained
Only felt
When times are right
Nothing transient
Only hope in soul
It’s a promise, till eternity
Amitav Radiance Aug 2014
Dreams within you take flight
Embraced with the wingspan
To wander the high skies
And deliver messages of love
Shower from high above
Stars that you have plucked
Glittering with your generosity
Amitav Radiance Oct 2014
While sitting under a tree
I could touch the roots above
Wondering, how deep they traveled
Each one holds ground
Creating a network
With the synergy
Communications takes place, there
And passes through the trunk
Right up to the branches
When leaves whisper among them
Trying to communicate with wind
To pass on the messages
Those are rooted deep
What may be going on there
We will not know
Roots that explore beyond
Century of stories buried
This tree stands testimony
To the events
The tree stands tall
Weathering many adversities
With roots to bear all
Which have traveled deep
Enveloped by rich soil
Amitav Radiance Aug 2014
The sun rays invade the hall
Swathing the floor with warmth
Artifacts of yesteryear look grand
The stained glasses add to the aura
Reminiscing the magnificence
Resounding voices of commands
So many at the beck and call
Slightest whisper was authority
Twilight descended on the dynasty
Sun rays reminding the past
All faces but remains in portraits
Years ago, the tales that transpired
Writ all over the walls and artifacts
Glorious past lit up by morning rays
Amitav Radiance Oct 2014
Water is boiling
In goes the tea leaves
Plain water no more
Distinct aroma wafting-
Dried leaves get new lease
To show its true color-
A light golden brew
Leave settling down quietly
Slowly at the bottom
A sense of contentment
As the brew is ready
In few minutes
A golden drink
Whose aroma is intoxicating
Swirl it in the mouth
Waves of freshness
Sweeps away the tiredness
Amitav Radiance Jan 2015
Luscious words drip from your lips
Stoking the embers, waiting to burn
Wild fires aren't meant to be tamed
Dances to the wild beats of passion
Glow, you cannot stay away from
Lured to the way of the swaying walk
Path that leads to ecstasy
Never looking back again
Everything’s lit by the beautiful fire
Flares of passion play together
Inciting the deepest desires
Truth bares all
Can’t deny your way tonight
Nothing, but acceptance
Amitav Radiance Nov 2014
Those moments touched
The core of my heart
Bringing back memories
Marooned for long
When rough waves battered
The soul
Swimming aimlessly
Just to keep afloat
Paddling frantically
For years
Losing hope and strength
To carry on
Then a shudder ran down my spine
Woke me up
That touch, once again
Memories came rushing back
The hand that held me
Saved me
From turbulent waters
Felt the fresh air again
Filling me with hope
Your touch was buoyant
Now days are brighter
A thirsty soul
Feels rejuvenated again
