About The Poetry Book This enigmatic collection of poems explores and equates the boundless possibilities of life and death and delves into each intricate inexplicability of survival. Parekh's roving philosophical eye brings the unconquerable richness of life to the fore and yet at the same time explicitly highlights the veracity of 'death' as the absolute certainty of every existence. The poet joyously celebrates the occasions of both life and death with equal panache in each poetic stanza sewn with the uncanny mysteries of this Universe. The poems within immortalize both life and death as the ultimate victories and the two most contrastingly amazing and divine sides of creation. Catapulting the reader to the threshold of ultimate ecstasy; they bring about an impromptu twist with the closure of breath and what lies beyond. This charismatically woven collection of poetic verse would equally enamor the narcissist as well as the simple humanitarian to the core. This book is a humble attempt to enlighten the readers with the equality of life and death-and to live in both of them to the most unparalleled fullest. Embracing only the religion of humanity, as the Lord has commanded every living being on earth. You cant die in life and cant live in death-each of these components are irrefutably equal in every respect and should be worshipped with due obeisance. CONTENTS 1. INEVITABLE DEATH 1. INEVITABLE DEATH Every day I polished my teeth with scintillating toothpaste; scrupulously scrapping even the most minuscule chunk of dirt trapped in the interiors within, Every day I washed my body tenaciously with raw soap; intricately extracting even the most infinitesimal particle of dandruff from my scalp, Every day I trimmed my nails; judiciously seeing to it that they didn’t protrude even a trifle more than necessary, Every day I placed my soggy shoes in blistering sunlight; in order to fumigate even the last ounce of fungus disdainfully adhering incorrigibly to my shoes, Every day I ironed my clothes with a steaming iron; profoundly ensuring that every single little cringe metamorphosed itself into handsome neat folds, Every day I applied tons of redolent powder on my skin; spraying every cranny of my armpits with rejuvenating fountains of pungent scent, Every day I massaged soothing sandalwood paste on my cheeks; in order to impart my fatigued complexion with that immortal shine and bountiful glow, Every day I wore expensive designer shirts; with an array of stunningly gaudy designs embossed within; making me the darling of all teenage girls, Every day I consumed several bottles of sparkling spring water; to pacify the unrelenting fires smoldering violently in my scorched throat, Every day I drove in a new car; letting its swanky interiors and Herculean speed flamboyantly ignite the dormant adventurer in my persona, Every day I visited a myriad of valleys and royal palace; with a festoon of glittering images taking complete control of my fading imagination, Every day I conversed with the most mesmerizing of fairies every existing in this Universe; let the enchantment in their eyes drown me into a valley of perpetual bliss, Every day I suckled boundless cans of succulent food and ravishing beer; gulped and chewed indefatigably to my ultimate heart's content, Every day I philandered in rustic cowboy boots through sprawling territories of the meadow; chasing the sheep and peacocks; blending myself profusely with the natural environment, Every day I sighted my reflection in the most fascinating of glass on the globe for hours immemorial; sipped delectable streams of honey and herbal tea; seated within the plush interiors of the grandiloquently golden aircraft, Every day I signed countless number of cheques with my bulky leather pen; shaking hands with towering business magnates and a flurry of prominent ministers, Every day I listened to the most enigmatic of tunes floating passionately on this planet, relishing the mystical froth of the waterfalls cascading through my curled eyelashes, Every day I gobbled down a battalion of robust vitamins; to fortify and replenish my body against dirt and inexplicable disease, Every day I donated millions of currency coins amongst all those who badly needed it; dispensed the colossal treasury of my wealth with gay abandon and according to my own will, Every day I basked in the aisles of unprecedented desire; possessing every intangible object I laid my eyes upon; with the unfathomable power of my wealth, And yet one day; I found myself buried gruesomely under the morbid corpse; with all my so called ostentation and pretention; now thoroughly blended with small specks of smoky dirt; Inevitable death had unsparingly mixed me along with infinite others in the soil; and the thing that I was never ready to believe at any stage of my bombastic life; had now snatched me away within fractions of seconds along with my entire mountain of so called wealth and fame. 2.

were a teenager, You can't yawn with your Jaws wide open and still remain dry eyed, You can't be an insane lunatic and still be able to scrupulously recite each stanza from the Shakespeare, You can't adorn a diamond ring on your finger and still audaciously declare that you weren't engaged, You can't get as pink as a radish and still say that you didn’t blush the slightest, You can't protrude out your tongue in anger and still convey to the world that you were a revered saint, You can't have dark circles under your lids and still perceive yourself to be an innocuous kid, You can't keep lying

like nine pins, You can't apply mud on your hair and still experience the silken follicles shine, You can't keep looking at the changing sun and still tell the exact minute of the day, You can't have a badly fractured hand and still expect to challenge the mightiest wrestler, You can't have red ants inside your trousers and still sit unperturbed throughout the business meeting, You can't have savage blood coated on your hands and still divulge to the world that they were as sacrosanct as God, You can't be incarcerated behind bars of the prison and still play hide-n-seek with your children in the park, You can't wear a flimsy night suit and still stand without shivering on the frozen lake, You can't have infinite blemishes of chicken pox and still compare yourself with the shimmering

baselessly and still make people around you wholeheartedly laugh, You can't maliciously envy your counterparts and still reach the top, You can't drive a truck blindfolded and still be able to reach the other end of the You can't be sitting in one corner of the dark room and still imagine yourself to be a complete man, You can't develop nerve-wrecking stress and still have blissful peace, You can't apply effeminate lipstick on your lips and still claim to be Tarzan inhabiting the wild, You can't drench yourself wholesomely in the rain and still catch blazing fires the very next instant, You can't draw incongruous lines with your feet and still visualize yourself as the greatest artist, You can't brag like a donkey and still whisper to the society that you were You can't keep surging down into deep waters and still view the pinnacle of the tower spiraling high towards the Sun, You can't roll amidst heaps of glittering gold and still cry hysterically that you were poor, You can't walk in stark darkness and still sight your shadow following you at close quarters, You can't have black lizards slithering all over your body and still remain as stoical as frozen ice, You can't lick hard dirt and still find your tongue as clear as the transparent mirror, You can't run like a whirlwind volcano and still feel your heart completely dormant in your chest, You can't sway flirtatiously

dictionary, You can't live imprisoned behind the dingy brick wall and still inhale gallons of blissful air, You can't keep looking at your watch every minute and still announce confidently that you weren't a trifle anxious, You can't emulate every action happening beside you and still cognize yourself to be entirely independent, You can't sit languidly in the air-craft to smoothly glide up the hill and still bellow at the top of your lungs that you clambered up all the treacherous slope standing on your toes, You can't deluge your mouth completely with water and still want jewels to tumble

imagine yourself to have created new life, You can't bathe in a river of sweet honey and still want the bees to shirk away the instant they sighted you, You can't lie breathless in the stone clad coffin and still come out bouncing You can't have a reserved heart wandering materialistically and still fall madly in love, 3. PRIORITY My top most priority was my God; who had bestowed upon me the power to exist and holistically fight for my survival on the surface of this earth, The next to follow in my life was my Mother; who actually gave me birth; evolving me in the first place to be what I was; at this very second today, The next to follow in my life was my beloved; who harnessed the true potential lying dormant in my mind for years; triggering me of to achieve unsurpassable realms of success, The next to follow in my life was my sister; with her innocuously mischievous grin; causing intense rejuvenation of my mind, The next to follow in my life was my Godfather who played a pivotal role in providing his armory of experienced tips; whether I liked it or didn’t like it, The next to follow in my life were my grandparents; whom I overwhelmingly adored; but at the same time the ones who tried to drown me into the ocean of their age old and stringently mundane theories, The next to follow in my life was my pet dog; who incessantly wagged its tail in ecstatic jubilation; the instant I entered my dwelling, The next to follow in my life were my selective bunch of friends; who always supported me in my times of bizarre affliction and inexplicable distress, The next to follow in my life was my tiny little hutment; appearing as an inconspicuous speck of dirt amidst the dense camouflage of trees; yet providing me shelter to bear the ominous night, The next to follow in my life were all the impeccably smiling children; whom I got a chance to encounter on the streets; and with whom I felt as if I had gone right back into my innocent childhood, The next to follow in my life were all the birds perched on the grass laden meadows; enchanting me unrelentingly with their gorgeous singing, The next to follow in my life were baby carrots sprouting in clusters in the perennial fields; which I merrily munched with gusto to placate my gluttony, The next to follow in my life was the mesmerizing and boisterous river; in which I splashed indiscriminately and bathed my body for long hours in the morning, The next to follow in my life were my sagacious teachers; who taught me to be prudent; judiciously execute every activity of living, The next to follow in my life were all those who might have unknowingly crossed me on the path towards indefatigable struggle; illuminating my life with transient moments of laughter and joy, The next to follow in my life was the infinite number of Poems I had embossed with my blood; which had imparted me insurmountable happiness as I metamorphosed each of my exotic dreams into reality, The next to follow in my life was the century old deep well; from which I extracted pails of sparkling mineral water; to quench the insatiable thirst that tickled the burnt chords in my throat, The next to follow in my life was my contemporary and ultra modern contraptions; the unfathomable perceptions I felt prey to every unveiling minute; to lead life like a king, And the last of all priorities that followed in my life; was the modest bundles of currency stashed in my Bank account; and an inexorable urge to earn many more of these; to thereby give concrete form to all my fantasies; as well as the fantasies of all those which needed to be desperately satisfied. 4. PAST, PRESENT AND NEAR FUTURE As innocuous as the wail of a newly born infant; sleeping blissfully in his As speedy as the flying aircraft; cutting placid currents of breeze at electric velocity, As mystical as the unfathomable gorge; the echo reverberating loud and stringent across the valley, 5. WHAT REASON HAD YOU If the small and inconspicuously tiny ant; could foment the mammoth elephant to collapse on the ground, If the dainty and fragile wave had the power all by itself to gradually culminate into the entire and colossal ocean, If the minuscule spider could spin its web again at thunderbolt speeds; even after it was viciously destroyed infinite number of times, If the man who was completely blind; bereft of indispensable centers of sight; could browse through boundless lines of Braille in a single day, If the frigid looking and slimy worm could build a mountain of mud; within just a matter of few hours; dexterously carrying small pints of sand on its back, If the newly born infant could win over a million hearts; without even uttering a word; just by the virtue of its innocuous smile, If the single and infinitesimal flame of candle could illuminate the entire cover of ghastly darkness; as it burnt waveringly inside the solitary hut, If the child horrendously orphaned since birth; could become the Prime Minister of his country one fine day, If the profoundly lazy and potbellied tortoise; could win the race even when competing with the whirlwind speed rabbit, If the miserably stone deaf beggar; could sing melodious songs of enchanting music; being oblivious to the most faintest trace of sound since his very birth, And If the person even after being dead for infinite years; be immortally present everywhere through the spirit of his benevolent deeds, 6. ONCE UPON A TIME Every tree standing lanky and towering on the hills; was once upon a time a minuscule seedling, Every dog barking discordantly on the streets; was once upon a time an innocuous pup; yelping incoherently in the darkness all around, Every bird soaring handsomely in the sky; was once upon a time a glistening Every alligator slithering menacingly through the marshy swamps; was once upon a time an inconspicuous tadpole floating nimbly in still water, Every desert sprawled over infinite territory; was once upon a time a small hillock of disdainfully colored mud, Every star shimmering brilliantly in the cosmos; was once upon a time a tiny flame of glowing candle, Every mountain towering domineeringly on the landscapes; was once upon a time an infinitesimal lump of clay, Every tiger with a deafening growl philandering through the jungles; was once Every leaf gargantuan in proportion and cascading from the tree; was once upon Every volcano fulminating into sizzling fountains; was once upon a time a placid stream of molten liquid, Every patch of ominous cloud in the sky; was once upon a time thin wisps of atmosphere, Every slab of fortified wall; was once upon a time a finely pulverized blend of burnt stone, Every large bone of the body; was once upon a time a profoundly squelched mass of intermingles flesh, Every squall that swept thunderously across the city; was once upon a time a Every mass of lethal dynamite that exploded; was once upon a time an incongruous piece of lead, Every wind that mightily blew in the monsoons; was once upon a time moist breath that flowed intermittently through the nostrils, Every dinosaur trampling indiscriminately through the meadows; was once upon a time an obnoxiously scented insect, Every mother surrounded blissfully by children; was once upon a time a freckled and embarrassed girl, Every reptile profusely impregnated with poison; was once upon a time a stinging beetle, And every man trespassing on the surface of land; trying to reign supreme over the entire earth; was once upon a time a particle of saw dust; simply a short stub of compressed thread; one out of the millions lying scattered in directions unprecedented. 7. THE GREATEST TRUTH; THE GREATEST LIE. The greatest comfort existing; is in the moist arms of the impeccable mother, The greatest light existing; is the dazzling glow of the flamboyantly fiery Sun, The greatest depth existing; is in the poignant eyes of your beloved, The greatest salt existing; is in the undulating waters of the saline ocean, The greatest blessing existing; is the one imparted by the impoverished heart, The greatest noise existing; is the deafening roar of the fulminating volcano, The greatest scent existing; is the one emanating profoundly from the redolent rose, The greatest taste existing; is in the succulent cluster of ravishing plums, The greatest length existing; is the colossal expanse of crystal blue sky, The greatest dirt existing; is the massacre of the innocent and the deprived, The greatest voice existing; is the enchanting sound of the nightingale, The greatest hand existing; is the one that philanthropically helps others in times of distress, The greatest color existing; is the one circumventing the resplendent rainbow, The greatest water existing; is the one trapped delectably inside the hard skull of coconut, The greatest language existing; is the one symbolizing humanity, The greatest mirror existing; is the one intricately lining your soul, The greatest perspiration existing; is the one that dribbled profusely after a hard days work, The greatest joke existing; is that life is a bed of roses, The greatest bye existing; was one executed by a dying soldier, The greatest lie existing; is that man can live forever; and never die, 8. THE LAST DAY OF HIS LIFE He smiled as the milkman dropped milk; when usually he would swap his fingers menacingly at him; for arriving even a minute late, He hoisted the dirty urchin high in his hands; when usually he would shoo all stray children running helter-skelter in the streets; with his stick, He gave a handsome tip to the waiter; when usually he would scream at the top of his lungs for not being served properly, He strolled bare chested in the sun-lit balcony; when usually he would adorn himself in the tightest of suit and glossy pant, He danced rampantly in the rain outside; when usually he would stringently admonish all servants to shut the windows airtight; as soon as the first patch of black cloud lingered in the sky, He ate the most piquant of chili; when usually he refrained from tasting even small pinches of common salt, He talked loquaciously all day in a host of languages; when usually his moved his lips sternly; only when required, He sat for hours on the bed of squalid grass; when usually he never transgressed on anything except shimmering slabs of pure marble, He sipped chilled champagne with gay abandon; when usually he didn’t touch anything except Herbal tea, He laughed thunderously at the slightest of joke; when usually he was far too stingy even on smiles, He drove his car himself at lightening speeds; when usually he incorrigibly refused to leave the house ever; without his driver, He left his wrists bare; gauging the time from position of the Sun; when usually he even slept the entire night with his watch strapped tightly, He viewed television incessantly at strident volumes; when usually he preferred to brood desolately in solitude, He sang romantic tunes from contemporary songs; when usually he always condemned and rebuked the advent of pop music, He masticated at raw slices of poignant cucumber; when usually he commanded the cooks to boil his food to unprecedented limits, He shook hands magnanimously with the peons; when usually he held a handkerchief stuffed snugly to his nose; to superficially avoid their odor while confronting them, He let his hair descend down in wild streaks; when usually he made sure every morning that each follicle was combed and oiled; till its last root projecting from He wore a loose and threadbare ragamuffin shirt; when usually he was embellished in silken fabric; with the most omnipotent of scent inundating every pore of his skin, He even winked at witnessing lovers in the park; blessing them for their future lives to unfurl; when usually he put such trespassers behind iron bars of custody, And today he forgave everyone he interacted with; lived life the way he did when he was just born; as he knew it that this was the last time he would ever see this marvelous earth; the last day of his life. 9. A SINGLE GROWL The inconspicuous little tadpoles kept fluttering their fins; hardly able to make any impact on the violent swirl of water, The diminutive stalks of grass swayed pretentiously; being mocked by the wind The flames of the grandiloquent wax candle appeared insipid and weak; abysmally diminishing with the slightest draught of breeze leaking from the window, The paltry spray of fountain was delectable to witness; although it subsided The chirp of the sparrow was weak and fragile; hardly making an impact on The superficial string of bombs emitted clouds of frigid smoke after exploding; although they pathetically floundered in making any impact on the colossal structure, The fairy tale was embodied with a blend of flowery and disdainful spellings; The effeminate whispers of the teachers; could hardly pacify the bustling And the Goldsmith banged his hammer thousands of times; but wasn’t able to 10. LIFELESS COMMODITY When I stood on the earth and stared at the sky; I wasn’t the least ruffled by what I saw; continuing to stroll at a leisurely pace humming a mystical tune, When I stood on the stony ground and sighted the building; I profoundly ridiculed the clothes flapping astray; with every draught of weak wind, When I was born blind since birth; I could hardly perceive the benefits of vision; infact made a mockery of those who walked without a stick, When I was as black as charcoal; the blistering rays of afternoon hardly having any producing effect on my ungainly complexion; I chortled loudly at people applying make-up creams to protect their skin, When I was transgressing on ground for several years without feet; I sympathized with people having bulging legs; infact quite happy to crawl delectably all around using my hands, When I was illiterate; signing every document with my back of my thumb; I was at blissful peace; unaware and miles away from the intricacies of this When I was philandering in the dark lanes; I slept like a demon on the park When I was overwhelmingly sad; struck by hysterical grief since my childhood; And when I was poor; endeavoring hard each day to fight for my bread; I was 11. I WANTED THE WORLD TO RECOGNIZE I wanted people to recognize me as a poet penning down volumes of mystical verse; not as a mundane businessman, I wanted people to recognize me as true perspiration trickling in the Sun; not as the sleazy bottle of artificial scent, I wanted people to recognize me as bare skin battling all seasons; not as gaudy cloth camouflaging every part of my demeanor, I wanted people to recognize me as crystalline water cascading down the pristine slopes; not as obnoxious whisky bubbling gently in the barrels, I wanted people to recognize me as raw power of muscle; not as radiating boxing gloves fitted snugly to my palms, I wanted people to recognize me as milk naturally oozing from the cow; not as chunks of pallid ice-cream stored in the refrigerator, I wanted people to recognize me as a ray of sun in the cosmos; not as bombastic gleam of the bulb piercing effeminately through the night, I wanted people to recognize me as original hoarse voice; not as shrill tunes diffusing over the silver coated mike, I wanted people to recognize me as impeccable eyes; not as slinky tint of Sunglasses blended with a myriad of beastly designs, I wanted people to recognize me as a soldier; not as a parasitic leech suckling fodder from the rosy tree, I wanted people to recognize me as a dreamy yawn fantasizing unrelentingly; not as matchbox steps leading to the corporate office, I wanted people to recognize me as a stalk of grass with glistening dew drops; not as ghastly spray of fertilizer causing animate to perish in vicinity, I wanted people to recognize me as wild undergrowths of the valley; not as the glittering castle carved out of polished sandstone, I wanted people to recognize me as choppy waves of the ocean; not as disdainful ringing of the alarm clock at dawn, I wanted people to recognize me as a nostalgic philanderer; not as the broker manipulating intricacies of the stock market, I wanted people to recognize me as a vivacious rainbow draping the velvety sky; not as flickering lights of the modern disco, I wanted people to recognize me a scarlet cluster of sensuous grapes; not as the meticulous array of white spoons and forks, I wanted people to recognize me as my mothers son; not as a towering And I wanted the world to recognize me as individual burning every second in 12. BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE ? You may have washed your hands; cleaning them scrupulously of the most invisible of stain, You may have eaten stupendously sizzling slices of mutton; masticating the morsels after blending them with handsome salt, You may have laughed the loudest in the crowd; propagating the same infectiously in pedestrians around you, You may have dressed in the most glamorous of coat and trousers; sprinkling your entire demeanor with an ocean of passionate scent, You may have spoken the most flowery speech on the mike; drawing loads of adulation from all those who were mesmerized by the beautiful essence in the lines, You may have driven in the most contemporary of car; with its golden wheels traversing the meandering lanes of the hill like a galloping panther, You may have drunk cartons full of mineral water; quenching your thirst under the scorching sun of midday, You may have lived for a 100 years; surviving on the most conventional of medicine and steroids, And you may have loved; imprisoning every girl you set your eyes on with the 13. BEARDED I didn’t need a pair of scissors; glistening wildly in yellow Sunlight, I didn’t need a knife; protruding gallantly from the slender handle, I didn’t need a hostile blade; with edges as sharp as a savage vulture, I didn’t need after shave cologne; emanating a scent more stupendous than the rose, I didn’t need a pungent slab of aluminum; having its surface as smooth as white ice, I didn’t need a soft sponge; with its body profusely dipped in tingling antiseptic, I didn’t need tablets of colored soap; evolving a bath of bubbles after vigorous scrubbing, I didn’t need high pressured foam; diffusing into a stream of spicy froth the instant I compressed it, I didn’t need long spools of cotton; triangular heaps of bandages to drape across my wounds, I didn’t need shimmering tweezers of pure steel; to scrupulously pluck my hair, I didn’t need sleazy colored dye; with its shade resembling rotten vegetables decaying in the dark, I didn’t need a blow dryer; ejecting out tones of hot air at whirlwind speeds, I didn’t need a barrel of vanity powder; to spuriously illuminate the contours of my face, I didn’t need a bowl of moisturizing cream; to incessantly massage each pore of my skin, I didn’t need sizzling face pads; to caress the breath flowing harmoniously out of my nose, I didn’t need a mirror; to admire my reflection for marathon hours in the I didn’t even need to waste a single second more in the morning; reaching the office well before the boss came in, And the strange thing was; that even if someone donated all the above contraptions to me completely free; I still would blatantly reject them, By now you must be at the edge of your seats to know the secret of my existence; well the answer to this is more simpler than your voice; as I didn’t have even 14. A SINGLE DEVIL A single rotten apple with flies feasting on its succulent body; decays the entire ensemble of robust apples, A single stain of black dye sprawling rampantly; spoils the beauty of the entire white fabric, A single hole in its heavy and metallic body; uncouthly drowns the entire ship, A single stream of venom oozing gently; contaminates the entire river of impeccable milk, A single bit of sewage smelling fetidly; annihilates the beauty of the entire garden laden with blossoming petals, A single virus in the blood stream; metamorphoses the individual from rubicund and healthy to insane and sick, A single particle of dandruff loitering in animosity; pollutes the entire conglomerate of lustrous and shining hair, A single nail overgrown and dirty; imperils the look of the entire palm embossed with mystical lines, A single dark cloud in the cosmos; adulterates the entire sky which is blue and A single town clock running late; delays the life of the entire city; with most of the people yawning as the sun crept up in brilliant afternoon, A single loophole in the house; entices the entire team of burglars to maraud at will; pilfer stealthily through closed doors at night, A single crack in the bone; foments the entire leg to walk in contorted pain; limp across the road for mercy, A single spark of white electricity; electrocutes the entire family; triggering the house to explode in volatile fury, A single crease in the crisp shirt; debases the entire demeanor which was otherwise quite sparkling and flawless, A single snore thunderously emanating; breaks the silence of tranquil and A single shiver down the petrified spine; engenders the snake to pierce its lethal fangs and bite, A single stroke of stringent red; disturbs the harmony of the otherwise splendid marksheet, A single lie spoken; condemns a person beyond all anecdotes of his honesty, And a single devil in the mind; not only ruins all the sanctity previously existing; but also finishes a person in mind, body and eternal soul. 15. ALL I WANT IS EVERYTHING All I want is a chain of thick gold adorning my neck, All I want is a stream of white champagne to incessantly titillate my throat, All I want is a swanky car that can transport me long distance, at the mere caress of a button, All I want is a book of spell binding fairy tales, which flood my mind with intrigue and enigma, All I want is a castle with towering walls, carved all over in delectable sandstone, All I want is an appetizing meal of vegetable cherry, which makes me slaver till my last drop of saliva is exhausted, All I want is a silken sheet of floss, draping my body in entirety, All I want is golden globules of sweat, tingling me exotically as the cascaded down my nape, All I want is swirling waves of the ocean, splashing their raw salt on my lips as they struck, All I want is an ensemble of voluptuous reptile, lingering loosely from my scalp, All I want is silver chained wrist watch, its dainty twinkling resonating in my ears all day long, All I want is the rubicund apple sprouting from the tip of Mount Everest, bite through its body with gusty fervor, All I want is a sparkling pillow impregnated with white pearls, the mysticism in their reflection drowning me into their splendor, All I want is a candle with a perpetual glow, its resplendent radiance illuminating my ghastly night, All I want is a dream that never ended, took me on a wild journey of waterfalls and snow clad penguins, All I want is a pot-bellied tortoise, snuggling close to my heart when I was tense, All I want is an ivory broomstick, which could fly me high and handsome towards blazing portions of the sky, All I want is sizzling soup of spicy coriander, which caused tears of satisfaction to roll down my cheeks in tandem, All I want is a robust pigeon perched languidly on the rooftop; fluttering its wings to produce delectable draughts of air, All I want is immaculate milk; bombastic chunks of cream floating in a silver bowl, All I want is peanut butter; with its dazzling slices of yellow tingling the most remotest bud of my taste, All I want is a ravishing watermelon; titillating my tongue beyond the point of no control, All I want is long sheets of flawless paper; to embed its surface with a million lines of poetry, All I want is a mind functioning unrelentingly;

with their shine tearing apart all premonitions of poverty and disgrace, All I want is an academic degree of the highest pedigree and status; without even slogging it a single hour in the day, All I want is a necklace sewn with a myriad of pearls; attached to innumerable oysters live and breathing alive, All I want is eyes with lids of the most toughest of steel; ensuring that I didn’t become blind even in an atmosphere swirling with pugnacious thorns, All I want is a bohemian hand;

tingling each pore of my skin; with every bite of theirs, All I want is a shirt sewn with glittering diamonds; which I used as a substitute for my mirror; whenever I felt the urge to sight my reflection, All I want is a room so obsolete and remote; that I could distinctly hear even the sound of my breath, All I want is a ring embedded with a magical stone; that turned my fortunes dramatically; a few hours after wearing it, All I want is a whale fish as tall as the sky; which would let me marvel each part of its glistening body; feel its royal snout with my bare fingers, All I want is a pool full of steaming water; with droplets of cascading wine revitalizing each patch of my dead skin, All I want is an echo reverberating deafeningly through the valley; that reached out to every entity; sprawled across different quarters of the globe, All I want is a hive of discordantly buzzing humming bees; oozing sweet nectar; slowly caressing my lips on their periphery as it fell, All I want is a slogan;

caused you to yawn several times; as the list is endless; the entire world is rampantly revolving in my brain, and my fantasies to unveil are tremendously boundless to be contained in this plain text; so let me instead sign off by saying that all I want is everything . 16. WHY WAS I LIVING Why were you smiling spuriously; when actually you were completely shattered from inside? Why were the trees blissfully casting their shadows; when actually they felt that they would wither away? Why was the sun shining; when actually it felt that it would submerge into a pool of darkness? Why was the rose blossoming handsomely towards the sky; when actually every droplet of its juice was being savagely sucked by the parasite? Why were the birds chirping melodiously; when actually their nests were completely destroyed? Why were the waves simmering placidly; when actually they were soon to be enveloped by a tumultuous storm? Why was it raining; when actually the clouds had faded decades ago? Why were the fish swimming gleefully; when actually they knew that they were going to be devoured by a hostile shark the very next moment? Why were the eyes radiant; when they were actually going to be besieged by wholesome blindness within a few seconds? Why was the car traversing like a prince; when actually it was going to plummet into the steep valley; as soon as it reached the bridge? Why were the fires blazing vivaciously towards the sky; when actually they were going to blend with loose mud; as soon as the rain came down? Why was the businessman busy in millions of dollars worth of business deals; when actually he had lost completely in matters of the heart? Why was the rainbow shimmering bombastically in the cosmos; when it actually was going to fade away into thin wisps of oblivion; as soon as the clouds gathered in? Why were the buildings standing fortified; tall; and domineering; when actually they were going to be reduced to inconspicuous rubble; with meager strokes of the devastating earthquake? Why was the mosquito greedily sucking blood; when actually it was going to get perennial rest in the lizards stomach very soon? Why was the ghost wandering in the dilapidated mansion; when he actually knew that he had left for his heavenly abode centuries ago? Why did a human being consider himself God at times; when he actually couldn't even guess; as to what was happening just a few centimeters behind his back? Why was the old lady shouting exuberantly at the top of her lungs; when she was actually going to relinquish breath any second; due to diminishing old age? And why was I living; showing the world my stoical demeanor; working like a machine as If I wasn't the least affected; when in fact I actually knew that I 17. MOOD When I was in a good mood; the elevator seemed to be made of pure gold; transporting me towards the cotton wool of clouds in the sky, When I was in a good mood; the verdant patches of soil looked mesmerizing; with vivacious stalks of grass appearing splendid to sight in the backdrop of the valley, When I was in a good mood; the upper story’s of the building; looked like biscuits of pure silver; shimmering profoundly under the Sun, When I was in a good mood; the Sun seemed to be a blazing ball of fire; flamboyantly permeating every rotting cranny of insipid earth, When I was in a good mood; the waves of the ocean seemed majestic; rising and falling delectably with each current of enchanting wind; When I was in a good mood; the watch on my wrist; looked like a marvel of technology; apprising me accurately of the changing seasons and night, When I was in a good mood; people hovering around me; looked like immaculate angels; bestowing upon me their mystical touch, When I was in a good mood; the fishes swimming in the glass aquarium; looked like fairies having descended from the sky, When I was in a good mood; the picture I viewed on television; seemed to be a stupendous piece of art; enamoring me to the last bone in my spine, And when I was in a good mood; life seemed beautiful & fascinating; wonderful and animated; bubbling with tremendous euphoria and excitement; as each dawn unveiled into darkness, 18. THE IDEAL HEART The ideal height is the one; that can stand tall and domineering in a crowd bustling with infinite number of unruly pedestrians, The ideal weight is the one; that can facilitate a person to sprint like a panther; even in the most obsolete of his dreams, The ideal skin is the one; which can bear the brunt of sweltering Sun; as well as be unflinching in the winds of freezing winter, The ideal feet are ones; which assist the wanderer to step even on smoldering fires, The ideal eyes are the ones; which emanate a glimmer to live; even when tightly closed, The ideal hand is the one; that defends you singlehandedly; imparting you with the tenacity to lead life; even when confronted with a battalion of thorns, The ideal tongue is the one; that oscillates to produce voice; silences its critics as and when required, The ideal stomach is the one; which scrupulously digests food; keeps itself well in proportion; to stand good stead in front of the acerbic society, The ideal cheeks are the ones; which blush sporadically; adding tinges of robust vibrancy to the otherwise pallid atmosphere, The ideal thumb is the one; which punches the air in triumph to announce irrevocable victory, The ideal armpits are the ones; which remain submerged in silver perspiration; after performing an arduous days work, The ideal shirt is the one; which scintillates impeccably; even after passing through the dust storm, The ideal tooth is the one; that chews indefatigably; till the last bud of taste is appeased and satisfied, The ideal hair is the one; which cascades down in splendid harmony; shimmering majestically under the moon, The ideal nail is the one; that scratches like a wild cat; embedding the attackers flesh with numerous numbers vicious wounds; in order to survive, The ideal walk is the one; which perpetuates the head to be always held high, The ideal prayer is the one; which asks God to bestow upon his masses the virtue of brotherhood and equality, The ideal religion is the one; which since years unprecedented has always respected humanity, The ideal philosophy is the one; which allows to live and to blissfully let live, The ideal pleasure is the one; which spreads a smile to the faces of all those afflicted and in bizarre pain, The ideal sacrifice is the one; in which you abdicate breath for the sake of million different souls to be born, The ideal love is the one; in which one is prepared to die for the other, The ideal breath is the one; which evolves passionate moisture in the air after caressing it, And the ideal heart is the one; which never ceases to beat; throbs violently; each time when given doses of love. 19. THERE WAS A CORNER OF MY MIND Even as I felt that I had sown seeds in my entire field; and felt waves of contentment wholesomely entrench my persona, Even as I felt that I had earned exorbitant amounts of wealth; inundating my treasury with infinite number of gold coins, Even as I felt that I had written unfathomable volumes of literature; simply didn’t need to emboss a single word further, Even as I felt that I had walked unsurpassable distance by foot; conquering astronomical peaks of all mountains towering higher than the clouds, Even as I felt that I had consumed the best of food; had eaten every possible dish every existing or made in this world, Even as I felt that I had worn the most gorgeous of fabric; adorned my persona in the most exquisite of attire found on this globe, Even as I felt that I had gulped the most exotic of wine; drowned my body into unprecedented tremors of voluptuous excitement, Even as I felt that I had dated the girl of my dreams; eventually marrying her to bind us in the bonds of immortal romance, And even as I felt that I had lived life to its fullest capacity; and now needed to die blending my breath blissfully with the Creator, 20. HALF HEARTED When I wore a pant with only half a button; I had to abashingly clutch it with both hands; every time I rose from my seat, When I sat under only half a tree; the pugnacious rays of the Sun unsparingly struck me from all quarters, When I wrote only half a line; I found encompassed with overwhelming bankruptcy; as my neighbors filled in the rest of the amount; and made merry till eternity, When I ate only half the food; my stomach initially felt nice; but cried incessantly for the remainder of the night; when struck with pangs of starvation and hunger, When I walked in only half a shoe; I felt obnoxious pebbles tickle my feet; barbaric thorns infiltrate into my flesh every second, When I boarded only half a plane; I found myself in my coffin soon; as it stormed ruthlessly into the ocean a few minutes after taking off, When I read only half the advertisement; I found myself sweeping the corridors of a multinational company; which I had visited; presuming to become a senior employee, When I saw only half the dream; I felt bereaved and deprived the entire day to follow; as I yet and fervently awaited for the princess to arrive, When I chopped only half the tree; I initially lazed blissfully under its shade; but soon found the remaining monstrous wood; tumble down towards my skull with a creaking & thunderous noise, When I bathed only half my body; there were people laughing at me on every corner of the street; as some part of me was as black as coal; while some was pearly white, When I cried only half a tear; my eyes metamorphosed to swollen and black; and I found it exceedingly difficult to keep them open and sight, When I closed only half the door; the thieves entered my dwelling merrily in the night; stole with gay abandon; what they had always dreamt of, When I dug the foundation to only half of its depth; the building collapsed like a ball of soft cotton on the very next day; with the slightest draught of wind kissing its exteriors, When I gave only half a punch; my adversary thought as if I was cuddling him; and wasted no time in pulverizing me to raw dust; to blend with the soil, When I penned down only half the book; the audience burnt my effigy in volatile fury on the streets; being severely anguished at being deprived of the ending, When I heard with only half my ear; the ferocious lion tore me apart to pieces; as I wholesomely unaware when he furtively crept from behind; and capsized me by my collar, When I swam using only half my arms; the perilously swirling waves of the ocean eventually drowned me to the bottom; and I was squelched to raw pulp by the ominously gliding shark, When I quelled down only half the fire; the smoldering flames gradually gained impetus in the night; viciously charred every part of my body; including the entire forest, When I loved only half a girl; I was never able to procreate my progeny in this world; miserably dithered to continue the chapter of existence, And when I lived life only half hearted; I failed at every step I took; and success always seemed a mountain above; even after I had clambered the 21. NO FORMALITY I hated flamboyant parties; strident and sleazy music diffusing from the contemporary discotheque, I hated drinking mineral water in scintillating glasses of silver; sighting my reflection in polished exteriors of the same, I hated swanky cars transporting me at whizzing speeds; embellished attendants spuriously smiling; inviting me to enter the same, I hated glittering restaurants adorned with a festoon of lights; waiters making their clients laugh; just for the sake of being showered with exorbitant tips, I hated the overwhelmingly scented businessman; whose ideals infact smelt more than the most rotten stack of sewage, I hated the word thank you; when the person uttering it actually had intentions of killing you; profoundly lurking in his eyes, I hated masticating my food infinite times before gulping; an armory of intricate knives and oval shaped spoons laid meticulously on the table, I hated it when someone welcomed me with a myriad of garlands and golden coins; ordered a battalion of attendants to fan me; at every step I took, I hated going up the hill in shimmering escalators; when infact the meandering pathways would drown me into a state of mystical enchantment, I hated sitting in the air-conditioned room; with scores of commercial delegates blowing ostentatious wisps of smoke; obnoxiously into thin air, I hated shaking hands without any sense; as a stream of visitors kept barging in I hated speaking baselessly and in deliberate slang; when infact the rustic language of my country was splendidly enough to express my feelings; put me in unprecedented ease at all times, I hated nibbling tangy gum and acting snobbish; youngsters who blew their fathers money; without the slightest of contemplation and hesitancy, I hated the conventional ways of marriage with people from distant countries thronging in; when infact the hearts of those tying the thread were poles apart, I hated the toothbrush with an ensemble of curves and spongy rubber; when infact I had the medicinal branches of the blossoming Neem tree; to clean my teeth and my cheeks, I hated individuals who praised me; escalated me to the pinnacle of Everest with their flattery; when infact there was a river of prejudice flowing in their flesh everywhere; instead of crimson blood, I hated the priests who propagated only their respective religions; when infact God was omnipresent; and resided in every heart and soul, I hated all those parents who spoke to their children in English instead of their own indigenous languages; just because it was prevalent like wild fire all over the globe, I hated artificial sweetener added to juice; when infact its original flavor was incredulously ravishing to sip and relish, Well until now I presume; you must have already understood what sort of a person was I; and for those of you who have not; let me tell you; that I was a man who hated all kinds of bombastic pretensions; infact a man of no formality . 22. AFTER A TIRED DAY IN OFFICE The Sun had never seemed so brilliant before; with its pungent rays streaming through the eerie darkness, The winds had never seemed so exciting before; whizzing past my scalp in nervous exhilaration, The leaves had never seemed so greener before; with the dew drops on their surface shimmering profoundly in the morning light, The voice of the Nightingale had never seemed so melodious before; drifting me into waves of unparalleled rhapsody, The river had never seemed so buoyant before; with the swirling waters; culminating into tons of froth as I whistled by, The meadows of grass had never seemed so blossoming before; with the mystical camouflage drowning me into an ocean of enchantment, The clouds in the cosmos had never seemed so robust before; with each patch of cotton wool resembling chunks of rejuvenating ice-cream, The echo in the valley had never seemed so thunderous before; engendering a billion droplets of dry sweat to envelop my body, The trio of rabbits leaping through the pastures had never seemed so boisterous before; innocently bouncing over the pathway of shriveled twigs, The children dancing on the dance floor had never seemed so pepped up before; gyrating their bodies to the tunes of vivacious wild life, The sizzling slices of bread had never seemed so ravishing before; rekindling even the most dormant taste bud down my throat, The designs embossed on the walls of the caves had never seemed so realistic before; as if events which had happened centuries ago were unfurling bit by bit before my eyes, The peacock under pelting rain had never seemed so majestic before; with the kingly plumage of its feathers captivating me in complete mind, body and soul, The boats sailing on the sea had never seemed so magnificent before; with the stars shimmering resplendently in the sky engulfing them with silvery light, The tears of the new born infant had never seemed so emphatic before; with their mesmerizing softness making my heart leap in exultation, The ring on my finger had never seemed so glistening before; with the rays emanating from its demeanor adding a glitter to my morbid eyes, The body of my beloved had never seemed so tantalizing before; with each area on her skin; enticing me to coalesce into an everlasting embrace, The lap of my mother had never seemed so warm and compassionate before; luring me into invincible and heavenly sleep, And the photo of my God had never seemed so radiant before; with his omnipotent aura firmly reinstating my lost faith in all mankind, O! yes after a tired day in the office; slaving more than 12 hours under my pretentious boss's nose; the world outside seemed as if it was recreated again; and things which seemed like wholesomely dead in office hours; now struck me as if they were bouncing and alive; as if they had been just born. 23. AS THE LIGHTS CHANGED FROM RED TO GREEN A thousand heads surged forward; whizzing at electric speeds past the assemblage of dense trees, A thousand mouths heaved a sigh of relief; releasing tones of frustrated spit imprisoned inside, A thousand fists punched free air; pounded the vibrant space around in unmatched exhilaration, A thousand eyes glistened in happiness; oozing out tears of unsurpassable joy, A thousand hearts throbbed thunderously; executing several beats at a time, A thousand legs kicked gallons of loose mud; probed forward in unrelenting euphoria, A thousand tongues swished in boisterous fervor; expressing tales of new found adventure, A thousand lips opened in volatile fury; with exultating sounds of complete triumph reverberating loud and clear through the atmosphere, A thousand watches ticked astoundingly fast; increasing their pace infinite times more than usual, A thousand armpits diffused an ocean of sweat; with each droplet trickling down; merrily under the austere and blazing Sun, A thousand fingers rose animatedly towards the heaven; thanking the Almighty lord in unanimous unison, A thousand ears sprang up in stupendous arousal; regaining back their ability to trace the most minutest of sound; a thing which had relinquished for the last few minutes, A thousand shirts suddenly started to flutter passionately; gaining momentum with each slap of vivacious breeze, A thousand pair of hair stood up erect in alacrity on the scalp; with all the dreariness encompassing them; now disappearing into invisible wisps of oblivion, A thousand bones commenced to dance in ecstatic jubilation; suddenly retrieving back their energy after long minutes of boring rest, A thousand veins transported blood faster than the shark; augmenting its supply to the heart; thoroughly charged by the noise of unruly traffic and stridently A thousand bellows of smoke escalated ferociously towards the sky; as motion began once again with unprecedented ardor, A thousand wheels gushed forward in uncontrollable anger and respite; as the accelerator was squeezed incorrigibly to its maximum limit, And strangely but profoundly true; the reason for all the above pandemonium was an almost inconspicuous movement of the traffic bulb; which had just changed from red to green. 24. THE WORST THING The worst thing that could have happened to a fish; was that it fell innocently in the midst of the sweltering desert instead of slithering voluptuously in its tank, The worst thing that could have happened to a cockroach; was that it found itself perched at the top of a kingly throne; instead of feasting its tentacles on the foul smell of the lavatory, The worst thing that could have happened to a loaded gun; was that it found itself hurled right into the heart of the salty sea; instead of firing a pugnacious volley of bullets, The worst thing that could have happened to a cow; was that it was placed in an ambience engulfed with rotten garbage; instead of wandering blissfully on the The worst thing that could have happened to a tongue; was that it was dipped mercilessly into fuming water; instead of sipping delectable pints of herbal tea, The worst thing that could have happened to a bee; was that it was compelled to swim in a pond replete with saliva; instead of boisterously evolving gallons of The worst thing that could have happened to a soldier; was that he was stationed to feed new born children; instead of fighting valiantly in the battlefield of war, The worst thing that could have happened to a cloud; that it was brutally dissipated by invidious space crafts; instead of coalescing into a dense conglomerate; and showering tantalizing droplets of rain, The worst thing that could have happened to an eyeball; was getting exposed to a field of acrimonious thorns; instead of imparting it with an incessant stream of revitalizing moisture, The worst thing that could have happened to a golden ring; was that it was gruesomely dumped several feet beneath the earth; instead of scintillating magnificently under pearly rays of the majestic moon, The worst thing that could have happened to a priest; was drifting inevitably towards salacious desires; instead of inexorably drowning the mind, body and soul; in the service of Almighty Lord, The worst thing that could have happened to the feet; was to walk on blistering embers of fire; instead of stepping on a carpet of flocculent silk and Persian The worst thing that could have happened to a slab of ice; was being kept on the fire sizzling full throttle; instead of basking away in the interiors of the glorious refrigerator, The worst thing that could have happened to a building; was that it was constructed in the zone of the devastating earthquake; instead of standing tall and fortified on chunks of healthy soil, The worst thing that could have happened to the gargantuan bubble of soap; was that it was pierced a few seconds after it rose; instead of swelling profoundly and proliferating many other of its kind in the atmosphere, The worst thing that could have happened to a child; was to get orphaned as soon as he took birth; instead of frolicking merrily in the arms of his mother, The worst thing that could have happened to seasoned sticks of firewood; was bearing the brunt of unrelenting rain and culminate into a rot; instead of igniting into crackling flames in the starry night, The worst thing that could have happened to a car; was stuttering every minute while clambering up the hills; instead of whizzing through the mystical lanes of the valley at kingly speeds, The worst thing that could have happened to a contemporary watch; was to stop ticking; instead of accurately depicting time every unfurling second of the day, And the worst thing that could have happened to me was; sitting like a moron in the office; browsing through a labyrinth of bulky files and papers; instead of gallivanting on the hills with my beloved; and simultaneously penning down emphatically enchanting lines of poetry. 25. TILL THE TIME Till the time there was brilliant light; there existed the spell of gruesome darkness, Till the time there was perennial happiness; there existed the blanket of dolorous sadness, Till the time there was voluptuous wine drowning you into enchantment; Till the time there was the swirling and vivacious ocean; there existed the scorching deserts, Till the time there was the ravishing slice of pudding; there existed the blunt and disdainful mountain of stones, Till the time there was unprecedented security and comfort; there existed Till the time there were impeccable slabs of marble which were spotlessly clean; there existed the horrendous stains of grease, Till the time there was the king seated on the supremely embellished throne; there existed his battalion of docile slaves, Till the time there was a wave of ultra modernization circulating in this world; there existed indigenous and rustic tribes, Till the time there was succulent flesh and mesmerizing fraternities of skin; there existed the morbid corpse lying buried beneath the coffin, Till the time there was alacrity and unrelenting work under the sunshine; there existed blissful and spell binding sleep, Till the time there was obstreperous sound and thunderous noise; there existed virtue of pin drop silence, Till the time there were tantalizing droplets of rain cascading on the earth; there existed the fury of uncouth drought, Till the time there were tenacious and fortified slabs of colossal timber lined up towards the heavens; there existed a series of pertinent gaps and holes, Till the time there were fields of scintillating white fur encapsulating the countryside; there existed the obnoxiously black flow of the gutter, Till the time there were exotic dreams revolving vividly through each strata of the mind; the power to fantasize escalated to its highest; there existed complete insanity and madness, Till the time there was pure love impregnated wildly in each iota of the body; there existed blasphemous betrayal, Till the time there was delectable taste arising on the buds of the rosy tongue; there existed pools of colorless saliva strewn pathetically on the streets, And till the time there was moist breath descending down the nostrils; life going on in harmony with the Creator; there existed inevitable pain and absolute death. 26. WHISTLE It produced a melodious sound on emanating; flooding the gloomy ambience with profound tinges of rhapsody, It awoke the squirrels fast asleep in the dense bushes; as they scampered helter-skelter to hunt for their prey, It generated ripples amongst clusters of dead leaves; making them stand erect on their frigid tips, It substantially pacified the uncontrollably sobbing child; fomenting a gregarious smile to spread on his innocuous face, It engendered scores of youngsters sulking under the Sun; to dance and swirl ecstatically with the vivaciously drifting winds, It penetrated like a sugar coated arrow through the stillness of the valley; circulating delectably through every dwelling, It captivated the attention of every single passerby; causing them to blink their eyes in utter astonishment and disbelief, It had an incredulous impact on the dolphins floating in the sea; causing them to somersault in animated exhilaration, It was prolifically used amongst gangs of ominous thieves; as a subtle signal to furtively communicate, It had a mesmerizing effect on the severely traumatized nerves of the mentally afflicted; allowing them slim moments of reprieve from their debilitating and crippling condition, It gave the tongue a versatile opportunity to use itself; in the most dexterous way possible and to the fullest, It proved as an excellent alternative for a person who didn’t remember even a single line of the song; and yet had all the desire in the world to loudly sing it, It had the velvety grace of a shadow; as well as the hostility of a valiant scream well blended together, It lit an ethereal ray of hope in the eyes of the man dying; as he felt it poignantly infiltrate into his ears, It reinstated loads of rejuvenation and confidence in a person just about to appear for an interview; as he executed it audaciously before entering the boss's cabin, It broke all the awkwardness and formality between two politicians; once they did it before sitting to settle their country's difference, It was infact the best and most consummate way; in which a dumb man could communicate for long distances; after using just a trifle of his wind, And the best thing about it was; that it was the surest and sweetest signal to entice a girl's heart; when several others of its kind had miserably failed, Now could you have ever envisaged in the most wildest of your dreams; that a thing as inconspicuous as a tiny whistle; was able to achieve what the most stupendous of remedies couldn’t? Infact just an infinitesimal bellow of limp breath could have produced such a drastic effect on all mankind. 27. ALWAYS LISTENING TO THE TUNES OF MY HEART It suddenly told me to lick the road with my tongue; when I was blissfully driving enchanted by the melody in the air and the surroundings, It ordered me to eat a blanket of thorns without flinching the slightest; as I was wholesomely lost in my dreams under the enigmatic tree shade, It told me to soak my head into fetid pools of gutter water; when I was busy sipping voluptuous pints of sugarcane rum in the corridors of the rustic country bar, It told me to poke my neighbors with sizzling rods of iron; enjoy the agonizing scene that unfurled; as I placidly playing cards with my wife at midnight, It told me to jump from the aircraft without strapping a parachute on my body; as I lost in due admiration of the cotton cocoon of blue clouds dazzling voluptuously in the morning light, It told me to chew balls of steel with stupendous relish; when I was toiling in the fields; waiting anxiously for my crops to reap, It told me to cut my finger with the gleaming knife; when I was writing a letter to my impeccable beloved, It told me to cross the street when the lights were still red; brandishing my body against scores of whirlwind vehicles; as I was milking the cow for my morning breakfast, It told me to hurl out a volley of abashing abuse to the President; when I was infact munching popcorn and watching television, It told me to bathe in steaming acid use vicious scorpion instead of soap; as I engrossed in bulky files and heaps of paper at office, It told me to play hide and seek with the diabolical shark; as I blew the ensemble of candles on my birthday cake, It told me to bash my head umpteenth times against the wall; as I was traversing merrily through the hills; with the girl of my dreams sitting on my shoulder, It told me to leap up to the sky and steal all the stars; as I addressing the entire planet on the National network, It told me to swallow the venomous lizard wandering through the thick jungles; as I was sitting in rapt attention; with my eyes focussed towards the deity I profoundly worshipped, It told me to gallivant stark naked through the town; as I was assiduously involved in decoding peaceful solutions to war, It told me to count to the number of words I spoke in the day; as I combing my hair blending it with lots of perfumed coconut oil, It told me to put my hands in the lions mouth; as I was playing with small children; hugging them close to my chest, It told me to sleep on a bed of smoldering embers; as I was dancing jubilantly after tasting the first success of my life, It told me to put a battalion of stinging ants in my clothes; as I was shaking hands compassionately with the Magician outside the train, It told me to walk backwards till I reached the other side of the globe; as I gauge the unsurpassable depth of the valley, It was a nefarious monster ordering me to execute at times the weirdest of things existing in this world; when infact there was not the slightest of necessity; nor the slightest of compulsion by Almighty Lord to do so, And that's when I made one solemn resolve of never being a slave of my mind; never yielding to its irascible desires no matter how strongly it dictated me to do so; as I had from now decided to always listen to the tunes of my heart. 28.

ME AND MY BOSS My Boss wanted me to browse scrupulously through each alphabet of the "Economic Times"; digest the numerical figures prevailing in the market; better than I digested my whole days food, My Boss wanted me to dance to his tunes all day; sway instantaneously to the most minuscule of his commands and instructions, My Boss wanted me to sleep on a bed of bulky checkbooks and disdainful office files; dreaming about the company's profit and loss accounts even during my deep slumber, My Boss wanted me to incessantly fantasize about his corporate adversaries; trying to perceive all round the clock a flurry of ingenious ways to cunningly defeat them, My Boss wanted me to speak in bombastic slang and smile as soon as I encountered any of his revered customers; putting up an overwhelmingly spurious pretence under my meticulously ironed shirt, My Boss wanted me to sip colorless tea sitting in the matchbox shaped conference room; taking down notes as the minister spoke, My Boss wanted me to paint every barren space I saw; with slogans haughtily advertising about his company, My Boss wanted me to count daily the balance lurking in the reserve lockers; shrewdly negotiate every iota ; seeing to it that nobody got even a penny more than what they deserved, My Boss wanted me to boast pretentiously about his greatness in front of his wife; admire his obnoxiously filthy demeanor in front of every girl that trespassed across his shadow, And my Boss wanted me to eat, breathe, and sleep Business; refraining me to wander or even think beyond monotonous realms of his pathetic office, 30. THE HARDEST THING FOR A WRITER TO BEAR The hardest thing for a mother to bear; was the sudden death of her new born and sweet infant, The hardest thing for a Businessman to bear; was the abrupt closure of his Business; his goods being auctioned in the market at a price lesser than stones, The hardest thing for a bird to bear; was that her eggs got stolen by the vicious snake right in front of her eyes, The hardest thing for a desert to bear; was its barren and magnificently shimmering sands; being extravagantly flooded with water, The hardest thing for a boxer to bear; was opprobrious defeat; being decimated to the floor by his timid adversary, The hardest thing for an automobile to bear; was the dismal snapping of its brakes; as it was just seconds away from reaching the summit of the mountain, The hardest thing for the eye to bear; was its inability to recognize its most revered and beloved; even as she passed at whisker lengths from its body, The hardest thing for a eunuch to bear; was the volley of insults and ignominious rebukes it received; the hilarious laughter which it was subjected to; for noabsolutely no fault of its at all, The hardest thing for the shoe to bear; was exploding into infinite fragments; the moment it tread nimbly on the soil, The hardest thing for the consortium of diabolical black clouds to bear; was not being able to incessantly rain; even after floating rampantly for hours in the sky, The hardest thing for a robust swimmer to bear; was lying like a frigid mute leaf in the pool; when the race to the trophy was just about to commence, The hardest thing for the lips to bear; was the acrimonious society coming in between then and their enchanting lover, The hardest thing for the wealthiest man on this earth to bear; was the girl of his dreams kicking all his opulence; eloping with that beggar instead; whom she The hardest thing for the impeccable and sparkling shirt to bear; was being ripped apart to uncouth strands; as it confronted head on with the worst of cyclonic storm, The hardest thing for the conscience to bear; was overwhelming guilt pounding on it like a volcano from all sides; as it agonizingly conceived its tale of blatant lies, The hardest thing for the spring waters to bear; was getting adulterated by infinitesimal specks of dirt; as they gushed past contaminated slopes of lecherous mankind, The hardest thing for the lion to bear; was being ingeniously outwitted by the hunter; despite being crowned the irrefutable king of the jungle, The hardest thing for the hands to bear; was their inefficiency to save several lives in vicinity as they were incarcerated in chains; although they knew the Herculean strength circulating in their bones, The hardest thing for God to bear; was infinite numbers of his molecules fighting with each other on this earth; the very planet which he had created as paradise; now metamorphosing into a river of hostile death, And the hardest thing for a writer to bear; when despite dedicating all his mind, body and soul to his profession; chiseling every alphabet he perceived with his very own blood; his work didn’t sell. 31. FAKE GODFATHER For him I wasn't a passionate poet penning down thousands of lines of mystical poetry, For him I wasn't the innocuous child wandering at will through the jungles, For him I wasn’t the angel sipping milk delectably from mother cow, For him I wasn’t the fantasy eye casting my shadow on every pretty damsel that I encountered on the streets, For him I wasn’t the angel who slept cozily for indefatigable number of hours on the silken couch, For him I wasn’t the philanderer gallivanting with brazen relish through the For him I wasn’t the carefree and reckless student bunking classroom with nonchalant ease to meet my beloved, For him I wasn’t the impetuous youngster who spent every night drowned in gallons of intoxicating whisky dancing to the beats of vivacious music, For him I wasn’t just the tiny kid playing boisterously with several other of my kind, For him I wasn’t the emperor of my dreams; sitting on the profusely jeweled throne, For him I wasn’t the maverick munching toffee and simultaneously writing love letters, For him I wasn’t the mischievous teenager bursting into pools of uninhibited laughter every other second, For him I wasn’t the pampered boy feasting my eyes on a fathomless ensemble of ravishing fruits and curd, For him I wasn’t a prince swimming in an ocean of pearls; tossing an armory of jewels like matchsticks in the air, For him I wasn’t the baby cuddling tightly to my mother's invincible lap; drifting off to blissful sleep as she sung mystical rhymes into my ear, For him I wasn’t the adventurous crusader; profoundly admiring a blanket of voluptuous stars from the summit of the hill, For him I wasn’t God's vehement disciple; inexorably ringing the bells of the temple; wholesomely lost in the omnipotent aura of the Creator, For him I wasn’t my beloved's lover; enveloped intensely in the supremely volatile arms of her romance, For him I wasn’t human at all; with feelings, desires; fantasies; emotions; passions.etc., As these were the things inevitable to be done; to get that pay cheque of mine at the end of every month; and of course till that time he could take the privilege of dominating me, 32. ONLY WRITE POETRY Could the ocean ever dream of relinquishing its majestic waves; flowing as placid as the solitary pond spawned by the monsoons? Could the sky ever dream of existing without its conglomerate of puffy clouds; stare sheepishly towards the earth like a dead canvas painted with blue? Could the mother ever dream of killing her child; slicing its robust meat to satisfy her gluttony? Could the fish ever dream of living without water; slithering miserably on ground like the venomous snake? Could the cow ever dream of eating thorns instead of leafy grass; lazing in desolate solitude without oozing even an iota of milk? Could the elephant ever dream of running as fast as the spotted panther; climbing up the hazel tree trunk with the nimble ease of a bushy squirrel? Could the desert ever dream of being enveloped with pools of crystal water; all its shimmering and fathomless sands drenched completely with spongy liquid? Could the freezing ice-cream ever dream of charring an individual to raw soot; reducing his demeanor to inconspicuous particles of grey ash? Could the obnoxious river of sweat ever dream of diffusing marvelous scent; spreading its fragrance far and wide to every corner of the vast globe? Could the incongruous little street fly ever dream of sitting on the royal throne; barking orders to soldiers and countrymen instead of sitting on rotten fruit? Could the intoxicating bottle of scarlet whisky ever dream of becoming a saint; instilling godly virtues in a person consuming it; instead of making him swoon on Could the stray rat ever dream of weaving immaculate fabric; eating on the table with scintillating forks and spoons; instead of poking its nose pertinently at the cheese kept in the refrigerator? Could the wife who loved her husband over and above everything on this planet ever dream of murdering him; slashing his veins for perfectly no rhyme or reason? Could the ghost imprisoned deep inside the dilapidated corpse ever dream of facing the entire army; defeating the valiant commanders; instead of inhabiting Could the honey trickling delectably from the beehive ever dream of decimating a person; make him loose his last breath; instead of tickling him mischievously in Could the ominous beaked vampire ever dream of instilling new life in people; benevolently helping humanity; instead of brutally sucking gallons of blood from the body of human? Could the white skinned and satanic shark ever dream of giving children a flurry of amicable smiles; reciting to them stories of their motherland; instead of pulverizing them to mincemeat with its knife like jaws? Could the Creator ever dream of destroying the entire Universe; erasing the globe from its very rudimentary roots; instead of imparting fresh life every unleashing instant? Then how the hell could you ever dream that I went to office from the crack of every dawn; to the striking of every midnight; when infact my mind; body and sensitive soul; wanted to do nothing else but float in the aisles of surreal desire; bask in the glory of the beauty hovering around; profoundly admire and imbibe all the beauty existing in this world; when infact all myself created till date and still to evolve wanted to only write poetry. 33.

NO DRINKS When I was in a mood to profusely tease my neighbors; I had a drink of tangy When I wanted to swim against choppy waves of the turbulent ocean; I had a drink of wildly rejuvenating rum, When I wanted to float in the aisles of unprecedented desire; shrugging off the slightest of my stringent inhibitions; I had a drink of voluptuously red whisky, When I wanted to philander euphorically through the supremely dense and camouflaged forests; I had a drink of mystically refreshing coconut water, When I wanted to fight the lion disastrously barehanded; I had a drink of profoundly seductive wine; which instilled in me the false impression that I was greater than God, upon consumption, When I wanted to walk naked on the freezing mountain slopes; I had a drink of piquantly poignant and electric green chili, When I wanted to simply lie down on the couch; disentangling my mind from the vagaries and intricacies of this monotonous world; I had a drink of plain and rustic water, When I wanted to fantasize till eternity; live in a satiny cocoon of clouds all my life without respite; I had a drink of overwhelming nicotine, When I wanted to vomit out deliberately; puking out the last iota of what I had consumed just a few hours ago; I had a drink of disdainful soap with its bubbles exploding gently in my throat, When I wanted to emulate a mad man in astounding similarity; I had a drink of horrendous donkey saliva, When I wanted to commence prolific activity every dawn; I had a drink of delectably sizzling and hot tea, When I wanted to give the insurmountably constipated bowels in my stomach some relief; I had a drink of boisterously bubbling soda, When I wanted to holistically blend with the ecstatic conversation circulating in the conference; be an integral part of the festivity; I had a drink of ebulliently golden beer, When I wanted to gallivant on the stallion through the labyrinth of fabulous hills; I had a drink of passionately peppy pineapple juice, When I wanted to grandiloquently celebrate my birthday; say cheers to the entire world sitting in the clammy interiors of my drawing room; I had a drink of superlatively intoxicating vodka, When I wanted to leap in animated exhilaration in the middle of the night; halt my incessantly running nose from dribbling further; I had a drink of salubrious and steaming chicken soup, When I wanted to appease my mother; make amends for the plethora of inadvertent mistakes which I had committed; I had a drink of impeccable cow milk; kneading it assiduously from her sacrosanct body, When I wanted to reach the astronomical summit of Mount Everest; I had a drink of reinvigorating and tenacious brandy; once every few minutes, When I wanted to retain a splendidly formidable memory; I had a drink of fortified iron syrup; impregnating power to my being; power to my bones, When I wanted to speak in slang; pretend an intrinsic part of the high society without actually belonging to it; I had a drink of pretentiously sleazy brown cola, But when I wanted to lead life; I didn’t have any drink at all; for their was no magical liquid or extract made which would make me suffice its variety; infact it was an uphill struggle which was to be relentlessly fought; an invincible mission which no spurious drink on this earth could ever conquer. 35. MY HEART WAS PURE INDIAN The cheese that I had for morning breakfast was pure Italian; with its tanginess drowning me into waves of euphoria, The ring adorning my finger was from the ancient pyramids of Arabia; glistening splendidly all day and night, The shampoo that I used; was a herbal extract from the caves of Mount Everest; impregnating my hair with a satiny caress, The calculator I used; was from Japan; deciphering mind-boggling puzzles within lightening fraction of seconds, The shoes I wore were colonial British; woven with exquisite quality leather, The scents that lines my mantelpiece; were from the deserts of Arabia; replacing all stink with their mesmerizing redolence, The belt that held my pant single piece; was evolved from the skin of African python, The ice cubes that floated in my glass of whisky; were from the summit of the frozen Himalayas, The carpets engulfing every floor of my dwelling; were stitched with exclusive quality Persian wool, The gallons of water that I consumed every hour; were extracted from the pristine springs of the Alps, The mascara embellishing my eyelashes; was from the markets of ravishing France; that attracted every female inevitably towards me, The food that I gulped for nocturnal supper; was from the delectable kitchens of Turkey, The clothes that I used to cover my shivering skin; were from the contemporary and gaudy showrooms of America, The conch shells that I used to announce my voice to the world; were from the coastal islands of Australia, The roses that were fitted adorably in my vase; were from the sprawling gardens The tea that I sipped with enormous pleasure; was made from petals strewn in the orchards of Pakistan, Infact even the contraptions I used to measure my intimate heart beat was of precision quality and pure German, While inspite of all these; I still had the greatest reverence for the soil 36. JUST A PAIR OF BONES Beneath my shirt; the gaudy clothes that engulfed my body, Beneath swanky cars; which I drove at rocketing velocities through the streets, 37.

ROCKING CHAIR When I sat on it exerting my full weight; it squealed inaudibly permeating the When I poked it with a conglomerate of pointed needles; it let out silent gasps, When I emptied a barrel of fuming acid on it; it got severely butchered and uncouthly ripped apart, When I tried standing erect on it swirling rampantly to blaring tunes diffusing from the CD systems; it initially complied with my desire, When I incorrigibly refrained to clean it; letting hordes of dust settle on its persona, When I washed it with freezing water in winter castigating for disobeying my When I endeavored to emboss script on its body; it incessantly rotated and shook; bouncing with gay abundance on its springs, When I kicked it in its rear; exerting tumultuous force with my bohemian feet, When I tried incinerating it; submerging it wholesomely in my left over alcohol; it caught flames which rose high and handsome towards the sky, But let me tell you folks; I had enjoyed it the most; supremely relished its 40. WHEN IN DEEP SLEEP When in deep sleep you seemed like an immaculate angel; breathing When in deep sleep you seemed to be profoundly oblivious to your surroundings; When in deep sleep you changed positions umpteenth times in a minute; with When in deep sleep you mystically smiled; perhaps envisaging the fairies in the cosmos; with an enchanting glow encompassing your facial contours, When in deep sleep you inadvertently caressed my hair; fondling with my cheeks as if admiring their pudgy softness, When in deep sleep you unwittingly uttered all those things stored well within When in deep sleep you sometimes walked innocuously; languishing in the aisles When in deep sleep you wriggled inside the cozy delights of your quilt; blissfully exploring the moisture beneath the pillow you slept, When in deep sleep you unconsciously laughed; when I poked a thin blade of When in deep sleep you were the perfect husband for whom I had heaps of adulation; while the instant you awakened I had lost all reverence for your persona, 41.

ENTIRELY ON THEIR OWN Reason to fear was with those who had resplendently sparkling sight; as even the tiniest thought of a blur obfuscating their eyes; made them uncontrollably tremble towards the aisles of nothingness, Reason to fear was with those who had fathomless treasuries of gold and compassionate belonging; as even the tiniest thought of misery coming their Reason to fear was with those who had perennially floated in opulent wines Reason to fear was with those who had enchantingly vibrant ears; as even the tiniest thought of voices abandoning them; made them insanely wander through clouds of frazzled emptiness, Reason to fear was with those who were unconquerable kings; as even the tiniest thought of the diamonds popping out from their pompous crowns; made them inexplicably beat their fists towards the corridors of diabolical hell, Reason to fear was with those who incessantly tantalized themselves with the And reason to fear was with those who passionately palpitated into fireballs of togetherness every instant; as even the tiniest thought of their beloved betraying them; made them desperately rip apart their veins into an infinite ungainly bits, 43. STAY HAPPY; STAY ALIVE Stay on top of the blisteringly sweltering equator; uncontrollably basking in the insatiably flamboyant glory of the Omnipotent Sun, Stay on resplendently inebriating avalanches of scintillating ice; bountifully feasting every ingredient of your crimson blood; on the stupendously frosty mountains, Stay on rustic landscapes of indigenously panoramic mud; indefatigably tingling even the most infinitesimal bud of your skin; with melodiously enchanting grass, Stay under the unrelentingly cascading waterfalls; replenishing your drearily insipid nerves with the mantra of harmoniously holistic; symbiotism, Stay wherever you like; but stay in rhapsodically ebullient happiness; stay ubiquitously diffusing into a fountain of everlasting jubilation; stay forever and 1. Stay abreast the ferociously dazzling fires; metamorphosing even the most frigidly pernicious moments of your bedraggled life; into a sky of unconquerable optimism, Stay intrepidly relaxing on the gigantic shark’s back; unfurling into a gorge of unfathomably exhilarating adventure; as each instant rampantly zipped by, Stay tirelessly under the placidly mesmerizing Moon; enchantingly pacifying your tumultuously frazzled persona; with euphorically impeccable charisma, Stay intractably near the aromatically appetizing kitchens; supremely tantalizing your disastrously impoverished nostrils; with the most delectably exotic cuisine that lingered on this gigantic Universe, Stay wherever you like; but stay unassailably bonded in threads of solidarity; stay as God’s most innocuously blessed organisms; stay forever and philanthropically alive. 2. Stay rolling with the immaculately burgeoning mushrooms; marvelously saluting their honesty; as the first rays of dawn unleashed from the royally ethereal horizons, Stay wholesomely blended with hives of the boisterous honey bee; profusely enveloping every cranny of your diminutive demeanor; with unsurpassably never-ending sweetness, Stay unflinchingly confronting the most mightiest of tornadoes; relishing the sheer propensity of compassionate moisture; on every impression of your pathetically fading visage, Stay powerlessly surrendered at the pristine feet of your divine beloved; profoundly nourishing every droplet of your scarlet blood; with all beauty that serendipitously enshrouded this planet, Stay wherever you like; but stay always encapsulated with impregnable prosperity; stay shoulder to shoulder with your comrades in inexplicably traumatic pain; stay forever and philanthropically alive. 3. Stay lifelong with all unfortunately staggering destitute; inundating enlightening rays of desire in the lives of all those vindictively orphaned, Stay intransigently upon the sordidly uninhibited rooftop; languishing in the aisles of unending desire; without caring two hoods about the conventionally diabolical society, Stay brazenly bare chested on the ecstatically gallivanting horse; timelessly exploring the ravishing aura of this earth; as the majestically glorious wind gushed past the whites of your joyously blazing eyes, Stay concisely synchronized in the dormitories of the swanky corporate office; rejoicing the quintessential fundamentals of pragmatic management; to their Stay wherever you like; but stay with a smile blessing your countenance till times beyond eternity; stay pricelessly bonded with the fabric of eternally melanging mankind; stay forever and philanthropically alive. 44. HOME SWEET HOME I might have euphorically gallivanted to the absolute summit of the rhapsodic mountain; and handsomely kissed the gloriously vivacious crescent of seductive I might have unrelentingly waded through the poignantly salty oceans; dancing till unsurpassable eternity with the resplendently enamoring dolphins, I might have timelessly philandered through the mystically jubilant forests; rhythmically acclimatizing my ebulliently racing pulse; with the enigmatically tantalizing rustling of fresh leaves, I might have fervently rolled on titillating mud; encapsulating even the most infinitesimal arena of my exploring demeanor; with profoundly rejuvenating But eventually at the end of the optimistic day and as the Sun eventually transcended blissfully past the ethereal horizons; there was nothing as compassionately comforting; as home; sweet home. 1. I might have relentlessly bathed under the gorgeously sparkling waterfalls; wholesomely oblivious to even the most ardent puff of breath that ecstatically I might have mischievously flirted with fathomless nubile maidens; playing games of voluptuous hide and seek; as the thunderbolts of rain pelted torrentially from crimson sky, I might have embarked on the most exhilarating expedition of my lifetime; audaciously leaping towards the clouds; as the entrenchment of perennially silken dawn engulfed one and all; holistically alike, I might have disdainfully lost track of pragmatic time; as I endlessly fantasized beyond the realms of eternally sacrosanct paradise, But at the end of the enlightening day and as the Sun eventually disappeared in wholesome entirety for the remainder of the ghastly night; there was nothing as 2. I might have tirelessly recounted tales of ingratiating adventure; to the entire planet; fulminating into a reservoir of bubbling enthusiasm as each second unleashed into a wholesome minute, I might have unflinchingly faced the most truculently acrimonious of winds; towering as an apostle of irrefutable righteousness; by the grace of Almighty Lord, I might have arisen like streaks of uncontrollable lightening in the middle of the night; to eccentrically reminisce the most marvelously majestic moments of my diminutively impoverished existence, I might have astoundingly evolved a boundless fountain of creativity; on even the most indigenously dilapidated path; that I nimbly transgressed, But at the end of the unassailable day and as the Sun eventually whispered a fugitive adieu to the gigantic sky; there was nothing as philanthropically uniting; as home; sweet home. 3. I might have inherently inherited an uncanny ability of articulately using my fingers; to encompass the colossal beauty of this wonderfully panoramic planet; in the canvas of my immaculately tiny palms, I might have incessantly chortled into tornadoes of frolicking happiness; perpetually smiling even in the most disastrously ungainly moments of penalizing existence, I might have tossed in a restless inferno of unending excitement; conceiving the most spell bindingly fantastic vibrations on this Omnipotent earth, I might have vociferously placed my footstep on every single cranny of this unfathomably fantastic planet; indefatigably discovering the charisma in God’s most sacred atmosphere; till the very last beat of my heart; and with my minuscule little mind, But at the end of the benign day and as the Sun eventually paid its last tributes to regally aristocratic brightness; there was nothing as pricelessly humanitarian; 45. KING OF THE VILLAGE He had moustache to be proud of, 46. CAN THERE EXIST Can there exist rain without smoke grey clouds in the cosmos, can there exist desert without quintals of slippery sand, can there exist flower shrub without variegated petals of color, can there exist winter without mercury dipping below freezing, can there exist pure ivory without elephant trampling through forest, can there exist a cigarette without bitter leaves of venom tobacco, can there exist taste without minute buds flowering on fleshy tongue, can there exist a boat without oars firmly riveted to the sides, can there exist incessant wind without circular revolutions of the motored fan, can there exist gold without tinges of passionate yellow, can there exist white pearls without symmetrically carved oyster shell, can there exist cinema halls without palatial expanse of the silver screen, can there exist a perfect morning without melodious chirping of the cuckoo, can there exist salt without sea water splashing on the chain of mighty coal rock, can there exist blood without pores of flesh being punctured, can there exist thick lava without collisions in interior crevices of earth, can there exist a lock without a key kissing articulate junctions of proximity, can there exist finger nail coat without surplus fillings of powdered calcium, can there exist mountain rivers without mass of water tumbling down at speed, can there exist a church without Jesus nailed to sandalwood cross, can there exist breath without nostrils containing sticky mucus, can there exist a computer without a host of programmed microchips, can there exist aquatic fish without an ambience of luke warm water, can there exist an aircraft in space without a pair of steel wings, can there exist life without consumption of portable water, can there exist man on earth without traces of love he thoroughly deserves. 47. WHAT IS IT What is it that makes us speak with eloquence, What is it that makes us decipher infinite lines of condensed literature, What is it that makes us sweat like an invincible river, What is it that tickles daintily stitched threads of conscience, What is it that makes our hair stand when bitter cold, What is it that lifts our bodies from periphery of earth, What is it that bestows us with a satiny shadow, What is it that triggers us to laugh with zeal and profound enthuse, What is it that causes incoherent pressure to evacuate our bowels, What is it that makes us cry in bouts of agonizing hysteria, What is it that makes us hungry like untamed demons, What is it that makes us oblivious to ticking hours of the clock, 48. POTRAYAL OF GOD The magnanimous personality of God lies in all, the next God is handsome white cotton cloth, God nestles in starch white currency notes, God inhabits crimson red, fragrant rose, the supreme personality of Godhead, 49. BEDS When I tried sleeping on a king sized bed of pure gold, When I attempted sleeping on luxury beds embodied in ornate satin, When I ventured sleeping on colossal beds of pearl soap tablets, When I dared sleeping on plush beds of dotted panther skin, I then made resolute resolves to sleep on bed carpets of solitary road, 50. SNAKE LEATHER BELT I used it to lambaste bald patches of fair skin, I viciously strangulated slender necks twisting it, I suspended it in Luke warm waters of the monsoon lake, I stealthily caressed umpteenth pores of my tender flesh with it, I stuck it firmly to the bare wall; with a backdrop of morbid jungle, I utilized it as a versatile pulley to evacuate me pails of water, I embedded it to the ceiling fan forming a tight noose, I mercilessly burnt it in a heap to proliferate fire, I tugged it dexterously with my palms; pulling my beloved towards me, It worked like a slave; meticulously performing all tasks to perfection, The End . © 2016 Nikhil Parekh |
