The Czar Of Nothingness Poem by KUNAL SETH

The Czar of Nothingness is
The sultan of swinging chariots of eternal fire
Existing in every era not a fossil of ancient empire
Not battling for reforms
Not for the elusive princess whose beauty he cannot have
He has nobody on his side yet a million hearts beating in disguise
A wall to break of satisfaction that we create to saturate
His weapon of choice the aura of a candle light
Like a baton passed on year after year

A Dynasty that never faced restraint
All rested in the dream of a newly born child
Where thoughts don’t exist and nothingness is wild
But as the rains of reason wash our souls
The sins of logic meet its goals
A fake impression of beauty exists
While the unseen reflection beams in myth
Nothingness is a disease for the questioning kind
It’s a challenge for the frosted brain

The kingdom of nothingness seeping through time
In an opera where the performers don’t know their style
Everything in Nothing and Nothing in Everything
These magic words are beyond science
Twilights are the testimony of its presence instead of questioning eyes
Sometimes light diminishes the light
Absence of which shadows the mind
A magic trick where the rabbit flies
Truth sits behind the curtains
His majesty has found his acquaintance

Come take over me
The scheme less scheme
I dare to joy ride with you without my sleep
I am enthralled by the miracles in thin air
This so called “everything” contaminates our lives
While the known search for their illusionary finds.

-There is nothing more interesting than the space, that hollow emptiness where the mortals dream to race…
