Altars of Madness

By Maniksha

We always paint humanity with beautiful colors, often forgetting the dark clouds that come with the iridescence. The part of the human psyche that we keep at bay, shushing the thoughts which are immoral. However, chaos unleashes the worst in us. Is it for survival? Or just the animalistic urge which can overpower the conscience at the time of crisis? I am not the first to feel small in front of this immense universe. I am not the first to question principles of life, time, and space. And I am definitely not the only one in search of the meaning of life. There are thousands who have undergone the same ritual before me and there are yet many more to come who will understand our existence better. Maybe find the truth.This collection is my exploration of the unknown. Painting the emotions I feel while looking into the void. This is an acknowledgement of the questions that we dare to ask ourselves deep in the night. Because our consciousness is not limited. Surely there is much more to existence... right?I am not sure when the idea for this book came to my mind. This theme has been growing on me for a long time now. And finally, I am ready to write about it. Exploring various thought processes and state of mind through poetry is something which I have always done, so this book will be an adventure.
