A liar
Ankur Dutta Sep 2019
A pen cannot see the words of satire;
as I condemn the words that I disguise.
I'm a hypocrite of sorts,
penning down are lies,
I'm a liar.

Lying has been my job,
since I stopped trying.
I certify it with my pen,
(that) I lie & I like it,
I'm but a liar.

Rain has often faded my words;
ink pens are my speciality.
I'm in love with it.
Lies are now fading,
but,
I'm still a liar.
How the lies in this world fade with time and people forget that the liar is still a liar. So the liar continues to lie, trying to convince the world that it is but the truth, becoming a hypocrite all but to thyself, living in an illusion, under the mirage of truth.

A poem about poems
Ankur Dutta Mar 2019
In the red light of desolation,
when loneliness seems less lonely;
in my crater of existence,
in my loud mind, a resonance
of lyrical thoughts,
are inking my world
with fading blots...
how the overwhelming sadness and the sound of desolation leaks out into the real world in the form of prose and poetry,
the fading blots of our lyrical thoughts

The raining pain
Ankur Dutta Sep 2019
I've seen the clouds, and the rain;
fear and sorrow drowned in pain.
Raining spears from a raining sky,
Please touch my eyes and say goodbye.

'O clouds of sorrow, clouds of pain,
wash me away oh mighty rain.
My telltale heart is wearing down;
wash me away, away to drown.

A mess of a life, a hectic ordeal;
I'm cold and numb, there's nothing I feel.
It's raining winter, in summer time.
My life is out of rhythmic rhyme.
How the life is testament to various battles aginst the pain that the world rains down on us, how it derails our goals and causes confusion and numbness in our hearts.

Guns 'n Roses
Ankur Dutta Mar 2019
Glimpses of the bygone days,
as the bygoners are now gone;
feeds up the memory lane,
where the future once did dawn.

For, life and living are both meaningless,
with the lives i lived with gone;
for guns n roses (together)  ne’er  prevails,
a blind eye of the human race.

Shadows of those caravan camps,
Haunt those blood red lands;
red roses crown the graves,
lost are those men as slaves.

Aimed for peace,
Aimed for love;
war killed thine aim.
Roses over graves,
Roses for love;
both are not the same.

With whom to share the victory marks?
friends, family, (too)many gone;
for guns and roses can ne’er cross roads,
as one uproots and the other sows.
on the pains and pangs of wars

Clouds Of Hope
Ankur Dutta Mar 2019
Sitting in my room,
i stare sharp at sky;
a mountain of dreams
i see, as clouds floating by.
Stars on the backdrop twinkle to me,
as a ray of hope in the darkness i see.

Passerby, moving figures,
are just a waste;
you'll loose your clouds
just by a glimpse in haste.
If lost, you still have time to learn;
next day, next night, your clouds will return..
about the genuine paranoia about getting distracted; I feel at ease when I am distracted, I see new random things, which i may never revisit, but in those lighthearted moments of a distracted mind, is when you are truly at peace, without a worry in the world... just those moments

— The End —
