“Did I really paint this? Did I really expect mountains to be black, leaves to be grey, the sky to be orange and sun to be blue?” he wondered as he took a silent ride to the past - his drawing book. It was bundled with the dust on the outside but wonderfully innocent in its imagination on the inside. Those drawings on the pages, whose weight he can still feel on his shoulder, were unhinged in its creativity, unparalleled in its curiosity and unsophisticated in its naivety. Using crayons to paint the water green, drawing a guy with three noses and one eye, asking the moon to be up in the middle of the day, and letting the stars know that flipping the coin will decide their fate that day, the book had everything but reality.

“I am still the king in my own world, am I not?” he pondered as he closed the book with a smile on his face. He realized that reality bounds the innocence of creativity, why not let the imagination take over for a while.

Dead of the Night

In the dead of the night, Where do you go searching for answers? When the shadows merge, To form a beautiful yet unconventional picture, Interpreted wrongly by the light, Surrounded linearly by the dark, When the silence of the night listens, To the chirping of the stars, When the dead trees shout, At the stillness of the wind, What do you do when the night gives up? And yet your eyes look as far as the horizon for answers, With no option in sight, you close your eyes, The deafening silence hits you hard, The picturesque shadows rush to whisper, And the intruding light creates an uproar, Then you interrogate the questions, Aren’t they always supposed to linger? Till the purpose finds another distraction, Till the curious soul finds another body, With this thought, you smile, We, the mere mortals can only question, Maybe searching is the only purpose Maybe answers are never to be found, And you shut your eyes, To dream of another world, Where the silence laughs and the light hustles, Wh...

#TheLogicalAbsurdist

“” She enters the world, steps into the unknown territory, haunted by the spirits of Lucifers of the world. Looks around, stares at her openings, the instant scanning of her body, the judgment passed through the eyes, she feels harassed, she feels abused. But she stands tall, wondering why can’t someone be punished for the impurity of the thoughts and not just actions. Oh the thoughts, the range is infinite. “If only I can pay someone to limit my thoughts”, he thinks. His world is surreal. The curse of his limitless thoughts is it actually limits the reality around him. The judgment is passed, the behavior is observed and the mortals compartmentalized. “It could be the other way around” he wonders and then corrects his action. “Action, yes, this is what is lacking in these people” he mumbled as he looks down and forcibly bows to this unjust treatment by his God. He is carefree in the eyes of the rich and careless in the eyes of the downtrodden. This share of happiness is unfai...

A Dreamer's Legacy

Where can we roam to discover our ‘selves’? From a bird’s view To see ‘I” with another’s eye The eyes that can judge the lost kid Trying too hard to be remembered In search of a unique philosophy To stand out but only as a bubble The bubble in which he sleeps Dreaming of a great debate Between life and death Between God and Man Wakes up stuck in chains In a century gone wrong A generation divided Along darker invisible lines He looks up at the sky A blue mirror with the face Resembling the lost kid stuck in chains Still dreaming of a great debate He realizes it's all the same, The judge, the jury and the judgment No honesty in the absolute truth No shame in the comforting lie And then he concludes With everyone watching the same view There is no point To see ‘I’ with another’s eye
