Reminiscences

So many things are flying inside my head,
Like dusts in the desert, scatterring in the air.

Once, I smashed the mirror in the state of emptiness,
As the world turned colorless and everyone seemed faceless.

I reminisce when the life was so much flooded with melancholies,
And I wailed in the roaring deluge, ranting that the god doesn't exist.

When the life was blowing in the storm of insanity, hopelessness prevailed,
And I banged my head, shouting to my reflection, why these turmoils never end.

While the droplets of rain crashed onto the peaceful pool of water, creating ripples,
I realized our mind is peaceful otherwise, if not tampered by the droplets of feelings.

The twinges of rejections, dejections casted by the world, and my weaknesses and addictions,
In differnt faces, crippled this life, sporadically, but this heart thanked them for their aggravations.

Once I was a prisoner, locked and lost inside the appalling prison, and when released as a bird from the cage,
I am liberated and flying, running wherever I can, and I am walking on a different road, never been walked before.

Anticipations

Time passed with ambivalence and in restlessness,
the man persevered in the despairing wilderness.

He sighs longing on the verge of his endeavour,
as the nights tingle and envisage unsure rapture.

Yet, amber of hopes are glistering in his eyes,
that sparkle like stars even in the gloomy nights.

Dreams

The hanging ropes of hopes,
connected and twined infinitely,
as ladders, in the garden of dreams,
gesture to climb and connect to myriad ropes,
which are hanging under the skies of utter uncertainties.

Just Let Go

Roaring sky,
Pigs might fly

Bloody wine,
Killing time

Fleeting time,
Yelling deadline

Still life,
Black and white

Around the bend,
Crammed brain

bitc*y life,
Itchy parasite

Dust and ashes,
No surprises

Dog tired,
Uninspired

Pathetic character,
Freak of nature

Poisoned chalice,
Apocalypse

Vertigo,
Just let go

A lucky escape

The boat kept drifting,
like a boat without a sailor,
Across an endless sea, in the stormy weather,
But the boat survived even if the relentless waves
Swallowed it innumerable times, in the merciless hours.

High hopes

Above the clouds, there are high hopes,
higher than mountains, larger than life.

I really enjoyed these, dibyendra. The versatility is quite impressive, yet they all seem to be connected thematically. All seem to be about man teetering on the edge of hope and despair, typically beginning with tormenting uncertainty and ending with a gleam that meaning can be found, a spirit of perseverance in the face of life's relentless pursuit to wear one down. I especially love the first, with its increasingly elongated lines that build in tension and anticipation, before finally releasing with that last line, echoing the freedom found in flying. Both Dreams and Just Let Go are essentially perfect little gems. Very, very good.
