Compassion

October 28, 2020 Shantanu Baruah 17 Comments

We need empathy not pity,
we need kindness not ignorance,
we need consideration not pretentious demeanor,

tables may turn any moment,
so be considerate and kind,

for today it is someone’s misery
tomorrow it can very well be mine

Lost Glory

The sabre I often brandished with glory and might is now languishing with torpor in some hovel of a lost world, for you effaced, and who should I now show my spectacle

Shadows

The shadows of an uncalled past wrap around me like how my skin clutches to my bone. And all my attempts to peel the cutis away mock me with an eerie simper, and I remain in the drapes of my lost moments of love

Caught in a Vortex

October 2, 2020 Shantanu Baruah 18 Comments

Under the weight of the pale light fighting hard to stand tall in the drape of the wind, though caught in a vortex, he stranded. For the cesspit where she shed away their love in a trice reeked with a fetid miasma, and despite all his efforts to leap away, he remained still keeping her betrayal hidden in his surreptitious smile

Love it is

October 1, 2020 Shantanu Baruah 18 Comments

Love is a complex phenomenon that often disguises under some pretentious layers of mere attraction, situational comfort, or raging lust.

Time does the litmus test for us, both when we get what we desire or when we’re deprived of it.

If we get our love and if the verve fades after some time, we soon realize we never truly loved. But if the zeal doesn’t disappear even after spending years of togetherness then my friend, it is true love. So, treasure it for a lifetime.

In case love abstains us, and the fondness we kindle thus far transpose to hatred, disgust, or into taking avenge, then we never truly loved the person. But if love survives beyond the separation pain and the only thing, we wish is the other person’s happiness, then we have found true love.

Love is never a decree, it is above all transient desires, and if we are in true love even upon separation we will remain in ethereal bliss, for the pain will be too trivial in front of the never-ending love.

An Aberrant Viewpoint

Nurturing thoughts of an abstract mind

I might be at the borderline of sounding cliche yet I will take my chance, for I know you know my words for you never falters.

I find you beautiful not from some moments in yore captured at an angle when you looked stunning, but I find you beautiful on every occasion. The neurons in my brain produce a magical chemical combination that sees you quite differently from the rest of the world 😊

And the reason is I don’t merely look at you, I look through you and behind the multitude of shades you consciously or subconsciously wear, deep within your soul is gorgeous. And I can proudly claim to always see it that way

you
