Holding Hope

4 Comments 
At the kink of your wayward words,
when you hesitantly display your tentative smile, 
eluding the traces of that eroded love, 
right there, 
the residues of some patina thoughts
get scattered in the thin air of nothingness,
while everything stil remain blurry,
one thing that shall hold against the atrocities of any gale 
is an incandescent flame 
that screams in silence but firmly
about a possibility called “US”

By, Shantanu Baruah

Kink - Bend
Patina - a green or brown oxidized film
Gale - A strong wind
Incandescent - Emitting Light

An Evening to Remember

Honest Try

Leave a comment 
If you are trapped in a gossamer 
weaved by your miscreant mind 
entwined in some unwarranted quagmire 
if you remain asphyxiated 
confined in some abysmal blind 

If you are unsure at time what to do 
anxieties caging you 
leaving you frustrated without any clue 

If your hope has diminished 
and your life has become a dismal tale
and you feel entrapped 
in a reel of gory thoughts 
rising from some obnoxious hell

Despite such unruly times
I implore you not to give up just yet 
I know it is hard to find me
for we are not together anymore
your heart may be hollow and our hands aren’t clinging like the times from the yore 
but remember one thing and never let this thought die 
that my love still remain like a cinder in my ethereal heart 
and if all doors are closing on you 
give my love another chance

Are you Getting Used to a situation?

2 Comments

The irony remains that though, at times, we are sequestered by the clutches of societal norms, we seldom raise our voice, for we accept it as our fate, and unknowingly we take proclivity towards the atrocities of the world.

By, Shantanu Baruah


Sequestered- isolated 
proclivity - liking 
atrocities- act of cruelty

What Shall Define you

4 Comments

Your virility is not marked by your dominance on the world, neither it shall veritable by anchoring your scepter with a loud thud, nor by any boisterous claim on how you own boudoirs spoken with an amorous tone, but shall be visible by your relentless consecrate on uplifting humanity, and through the care that you shall bestow

By, Shantanu Baruah 

Virility - manliness 
Veritable - metaphor to intensify
Scepter - ornamental staff
Boudoirs - women’s bedroom
Amorous - lustful
Consecrate - dedicate

Fooled Again

2 Comments

Drenched in encomiums of illusionary praise I marched with boisterous strides not realizing I got blinded yet again by the perfidious panegyrics of some ostentatious words

Illusion

They say true love gives freedom. But when love becomes a mirage, freedom disappears into oblivion in a whiff.

Never let Goodness In you Die

13 Comments

Sometimes broken people’s love is a mirage. They remain in your life, for you give them hope to fight their inner demons, encourage them to attain the unattainable, and give them interminable love. But the moment they find their grip, or are entrusted with a new zeal, or a new milieu beckons, they leave you in a trice. As if you never existed. Then you will be changed, a scar will remain like a goblin’s curse within you, and your love will never be the same. Yet be proud, for it is your love that has resurrected a tormented soul, and it is because of your unwavering faith you could assuage their fear and be with them when they needed someone. Be proud that you have the power to lift broken souls, and given another occasion, never relent to shower your kindness to another wretched soul again.
