The Opal of Life

She exists in nobility and purest humility.
An entity so selfless,
Part of nature's beauty.

She gleams in radiance
in the darkest of times,
The gods can only dance
while I am left in a trance
She has realized her call.
To reflect the light,
provide insights.
The lone glow in the darkest
of nights.

Jewel prized by helios
opal shine to her face.
a heartbeat she froze
never just a phrase
nectar fragrant of purpose
aware of time

Paradoxical phases
leaves my heart in cases
after flying to places
the lunar goddess I revere
close to Agni, she is here.

Time of Change


Nectar of life, achieve we must,
Within oneself, the om we trust.
Nature with her pristine beauty
sheds to fiery orange, just her duty.
Light approaches the end of term
In moral values we stand firm
A call to nature in full glory
Beauty so rich, why be sorry?

Midnight Awakening and Inspiration


The dew of night settles on placid lives
A cool breeze upon awakening cries
Cloudy sky ceases to reveal great reverence of fury,
rage and livid passion.
As the rest of the world indulges in sloth
You are armed and ready.
To fight and win intellectually
The world is yours to conquer.
Your minds shall never falter.
This is truly the beginning.

The Lone Warrior


Guarded the fort with all my might
Never let the thought out of my sight
Until the day, clouds of freedom shielding light
Yearning for meaning but the heart takes flight.
Hollow but deep.

In illustrious Armour, enters the Dark Knight.
The one with the bark that always bites.
Uphill endeavor draws the flame ignite.
A trial of duty and time leads to delight.

The moment of mutuality rewrites
Aware of the entropic thirst of nature
Never will the soul denature.

I am firm and established.
Ex Nihilo Nihil Fit
Would his mind and heart permit?
To forge the path never there
Declare, compare and share
A leaf of self drifts falling
I have heard my heart's calling.

~Nikhil~






Query From a Friend

Are people divided into the more rational or the more emotional? Are there other factors in this mode of classification? ‘Emotion’ and ‘rationality’ are like a married couple - one moment they are fighting and the next they are seamlessly working together creating a paradise within. Some believe that the two can be separated; in actuality, rationality and emotion are so intertwined that separation would be an Endeavour in futility.

In its ground state, rationality often overpowers emotion. However, when things get heated internally emotion flourishes into a powerful beast. Just like how fire is a good servant but a bad master, the animal incarnate of emotion should be one of control and good will. Sporadically, emotion disguises itself as the ugly ‘over sensitiveness’. Every action gets over read and analyzed resulting in negative interpretation.

In life, decisions often come in pairs – one seems more rational but the other just stirs up more excitement within and is definitely more attractive. People think that is an actual clash of reason and emotion. However that’s a clash between the inner voices (in my opinion). Pursue the emotional joy or engage in more rational practical trades? Tough to put your mind into something your heart has fled from. In every mind there is a perfect ideal combination and it is up to us through our life experiences to find that philosophers stone. Deep introspection and constant internal review should soon present itself with a combination of rationality and emotion that both your heart and mind agree on. Like someone? Go for it for the emotion or ignore it for the rationality? (One of the toughest decisions to make) .

There will come a time when everything soothes itself into the intricate but beautiful cycle of life. There will come a time when the heart and mind fuse into one powerful singularity. There will come a time when duty and rationality forecast the positive emotional returns of the future. Patience is often key to understanding as affirmed by experiences themselves. Look for the perfect jigsaw piece. Never stop finding, for caesura signals the entrapment. Having Freedom is knowing that freedom can never be taken away from you.

Be the emotional. Be the rational. Accept the dualities and synthesis is achieved.

Flood Of Memoirs.



Can clarity bring a case of doubt?
With alacrity comes beacon of sailing out
The breeze of the north engulfed by the seas of the south.
A forceful intrusion?
With the boat of love blooming into a great ship
The sheer trial of patience.
No one but me
I guess we will have to wait and see.
