[246] Confused Clarity

June 17, 2019by Rahul Gaur7 Comments

My distraction is aware of all that it lacks. It can be missing out on the various sounds of rain or it can be not holding the knowledge to appreciate architecture it falls on. I accept that there is a lot that I don't accept. I understand that there is a lot that I don't [...]

[186] Mindful Days

September 4, 2018by Rahul Gaur12 Comments

When it feels like present with no weight of the past or the worry of the future it was under the shade of a tree with your hand in mine when you called me mine When it feels like present when I slept in your arms it was a night’s sleep with no dreams even [...]

[174] Limbo of Love/Loud Music

August 1, 2018by Rahul Gaur11 Comments

Monday blues with a crippling sickness I wait for Friday night to not hear from you when I'm in the midst of loud music and carefree souls It drowns out my inner voice that calls out your name Eyes closed, swaying bodies and feet moving in this little space Thoughts no longer turn into sentences [...]

[152] The Purpose of Everything and Nothing

May 22, 2018by Rahul Gaur6 Comments

An original thought is an accident and an invention is inspired After all, we live in another man's idea of a mind The creation by you is laborious like making a sculpture from a stone It's not the movie version of progress where it seems entertaining in a montage It's a slow burning sensation of routine [...]

[129] Mind As Summer

February 27, 2018by Rahul Gaur12 Comments

My mind is summer now. Languid in its breathing of thoughts and idle in its progression of time. There is a blinding of the heat that is not surprising as it numbs the mind. Time & again it finds a shade of hope only to realise that it was an illusion of my own scorching [...]

[128] The Constant Struggle

February 25, 2018by Rahul Gaur14 Comments

a mere appearance of wisdom a mind full of questions a laugh full of deceit what will I really be? Imperfect memories make me Unformed thoughts are my pillars When change is the only constant what will I really be? What I am is not what I was What I will really be is not [...]

Hi fellow bloggers, In 2017, I started this blog with the intention of becoming a consistent writer. In 1 year I've gained 1,100 followers with 33,500 views but I feel like I don't know the people who read my blog enough. So, as I delve deep into this community of WordPress, I want to know [...]

[121] Pursuit of Stillness

January 22, 2018January 22, 2018by Rahul Gaur17 Comments

So focused on where I'm going I forget where I am Loneliness masked as solitude Caught in a corrupt mind's reverence The evil masked as aspiration I live under the devil's imminent invitation unconcerned and unperturbed The nihilism and existentialism soothe and caress my worries but does it make them go away? for that, I [...]

[113] A Case Against You

December 30, 2017by Rahul Gaur13 Comments

There is a hearing in the courtroom. You sheepishly pull yourself together to the stand. This is a case against you. A drop of a nervous sweat trickles down your forehead as you wipe it away before anyone can see it. This is the dominion where you are put to the test of life. You [...]

[112] Tiny Blue Dot

December 29, 2017by Rahul Gaur33 Comments

The duality of it all conflicts when the astronaut walks on the ground the oxygen in his tanks leaks to light him up the bleak space up above fainter he closes his eyes until it closes his mind a stargaze up above lands itself on the ground the astronaut twinkles to the ones far away [...]
