Blue to Gloom
Eshwara Prasad Oct 2021
Blue sky above
Blue sea below
in between
Blue sensations.
Eshwara Prasad Nov 2022
We are travelling quickly on a path that is blind to our misery.
We believe that destiny will unfold itself.
Our goals change, and so does our path.
Nothing appears to be close to where we want to be. But we keep moving.

Jolts of emotion
Eshwara Prasad Jul 2023
Filled with delight.
There were no obvious causes.
Around me, it felt like joy was everywhere.
Life seemed straightforward for a moment.
I know these feelings are ephemeral, though, deep down.
But it is difficult to understand why we sometimes feel such jolts of emotion.

Life Together

Emotions that had once driven us
into each other's arms have disappeared.

Realization
Eshwara Prasad Apr 2024
Regaining a sense of your true self through awakening a latent consciousness and letting go of regrets about the past—which was a necessary step toward its fruition—is what realization is all about.

Old is New!
Eshwara Prasad Jan 2023
All feelings are out of date.
The year alone is new.
The aches are all very old.
The year alone is new.
The dreams are all outdated.
The year alone is new.
Every wish is out of date.
The year alone is new.

Status Quo
Eshwara Prasad Mar 2021
Sun and Moon wished to swap their positions.

I scoffed at their idea.

I told them that, in addition to the devastation of the world, it will also result in the irreversible destruction of my poetic creativity, which I believe, is untenable.

They decided to maintain status quo.

Don't wear life
Eshwara Prasad Jan 2024
Don't wear life.
For it clings to you from birth to death.
It's etched with tales of triumphs and woes. When it's on you, it entices you to dance with passion, embrace the strife,until we stumble down, to the silent ground.
