On every wrist, Time on a strap. Movements of people, Constrained by time’s leash. Time was the master, Commanding and holding sway, Doling out favours To those who obeyed. So it was a partnership. Between time and society’s famous, rich. A few however strode a different path. Slipping out of time’s vice-like grip. These handful … Continue reading Time
A dream, That recurs, Fills my mind. Colours of the rainbow dance, Inside the kaleidoscope, Mixing and turning, Weaving patterns before my eyes. Colours flow, Sunlight trapped in gold, in the wide expanse of the river. Colours stop and stare, From a bright flower. They entice as they cover, The land in green expanse of … Continue reading Colours
On some days, Thoughts come to haunt me. They come riding on wings Of the dry autumn breeze That is laced with snowy chill. Scattering the fallen yellowed leaves it comes, Kindling bygone days. My mind then goes into a whirl. Like waves of a turbulent sea, Memories rush in Crashing with fury Hurting, Stinging … Continue reading Repentance
Such is life; Like walking along a road- Sometimes fast Sometimes slow. To enjoy the journey at one’s own pace. In nature’s beauty, finding solace. A brief stop, mesmerised by the beauty. The setting sun spreading its glow, fiery. Propelled by hope Of a brighter tomorrow. Walk on, Unmindful of the contours, high or low. … Continue reading A Companion in The Journey

Stubborn rain! Comes in torrents, Whenever I am On my way to work! Laden, heavy with water, The raindrops pelt hard, Threatening to tear the umbrella cover, Before sliding down In frustrated demeanour. Aided by the boisterous breeze, Sometimes the rain attempts to swing in; Spraying my face, My clothes, As if they have something … Continue reading Nostalgia of Rain
Is this what can be a home? A rocky bed In the midst of a sea? Beneath the open sky Exposed to nature’s elements Can humans truly survive? Why have we humans For centuries strived To shield us From this openness? Why have we tried to cover us From nature’s elements? Building stronger barricades Erecting … Continue reading In Nature’s Lap
Lurking shadow from the past; Mistakes made Have taken shape Of the executioner Perhaps? The veil of secrecy Is torn apart. Very soon It will be time When the past- My past, Reveals itself It’s true colours! Copyright @ Goutam Dutta Continue reading Catching Up

Planetary pull, With an aim to rule, Interfering in our lives, Since our birth as a child. The subject of astrology; Complex and at times perplexing, Talk of energy of celestial bodies Defining and directing Destiny of the human being. So there is Jupiter casting a benign spell. While Saturn, cold and ominous, may be … Continue reading Journey with Astrology
