  Please do come soon; for I was about to exhale my last breath without you; Please do come soon; bond your breath with mine O! Beloved .

 

  17. MY HEART DICTATED ME 

   

  My legs dictated me to run; chase her reflection till the point it became entirely invisible; blending with the ethereally fading horizons,

  My eyes dictated me to sight; admire her mesmerizing countenance for hours immemorial; drown myself into the river of voluptuous charm that lay trapped beneath her skin,

  My lips dictated me to sing; keep on incessantly evolving rhymes and tunes to stupendously please her enamoring visage,

  My hands dictated me to caress; run rampantly through her mass of supremely seductive hair; shiver with inexplicable excitement as they brushed across her

  immaculate complexion,

  My ears dictated me to listen; profoundly blend myself with her enthralling voice; stretch myself to the most mightiest of limits to decipher even the faintest traces of rhapsodic ecstasy in her sound,

  My mind dictated me to fantasize; try and conceive her in the most incredulous forms that existed on this Universe; philander uninhibitedly with her majestic grace; through mystical lanes sandwiched well beneath the towering mountains,

  My teeth dictated me to inexorably chatter; tremble in unsurpassable trepidation crouched like a potato on her divinely doorstep; ardently waiting for her to

  arrive in timid submission,

  My nose dictated me to smell; profusely coalesce myself with her enchanting fragrance; fill my appetite for marathon hours that unveiled in the day; inhaling

  the ravishing that wafted from her impeccable countenance,

  My bones dictated me to dexterously move; in order to save her sacrosanct visage; from the minutest of evil suspended in the air circumventing her,

  My eyelashes dictated me to bat; render myself in innocuous submission; in front of her heavenly demeanor; transiting me way back into joyfully innocent childhood,

  My tongue dictated me to lick; clean every iota of path she was about to tread on and celestially purify; with my stream of passionately dribbling and volatile saliva,

  My nails dictated me to probe; nimbly trail down her nape; to thunderously ignite the waves of unconquerable compassion between our blessed entities,

  My arm dictated me to dig; adroitly pave the foundations of our dwelling; construct it with formidable brick and stone; for us to blissfully reside during the remainder of our destined life,

  My shoulders dictated me to carry her philanthropically magnanimous body; protect her from even the most inconspicuous shadow of danger; perilously lurking behind her ravishing form,

  My throat dictated me to leap and bounce; gasp in incomprehensible ebullience; with its Adams apple swirling more vivaciously than the volcano; the moment it witnessed her fabulously fascinating grace,

  My lungs dictated me to stay silent; create an ambience of perpetual solitude; so that she didn’t get disturbed the slightest in her spell of unimaginably intense concentration,

  My skin dictated me to tremble in boisterous excitement; shiver more hysterically than freezing snow in the peak of blazing summer; in order to welcome her Kingly persona with diminutive humility,

  My conscience dictated me to immortally bond with her sacred soul; stand taller than the skies beside her; whenever she needed me,

  And my heart dictated me to love her; embed this existing life of hers with so much care; that it was more than what anybody could ever possibly muster; even in infinite lives .

 

  18. MORE THAN GOD COULD HAVE MISSED EARTH 

   

  Your voice seemed to me a supremely obfuscated blur; although you were standing at whisker lengths from my body; screaming hysterically into my sensitive eardrum,

  Your footsteps seemed to me like a frigidly lazy yawn; although you were tumultuously banging your bohemian feet across the savagely metallic floor,

  Your laughter seemed to me like lame ducks floating on the docile pond; although you were thunderously chortling into loud guffaws as you watched the clown

  fall down,

  Your eyes seemed to me like dark clouds hovering in dull consternation; although you were staring ferociously towards my visage as if planning to eat me for nocturnal supper,

  Your dance seemed to me like the dead squirrel lying on the stone since ages; although you were vivaciously swishing your bones to stridently blaring sleazy

  music,

  Your hands seemed to me like flimsy spider webs; although you were clapping them ardently under the mid day Sun,

  Your clothes seemed to me like vaguely obsolete shadows; although you had adorned your demeanor in fabulously glittering attire,

  Your lips seemed to me like squelched and frivolously light pulp; although you had embellished them with garish lipstick; were pursing them indefatigably as each minute unveiled by,

  Your hair seemed to me like decayed strands of the morbid broomstick; although you flirtatiously fluttered them at thin distances from my cheeks,

  Your fingers seemed to me like evanescently buried fossils; although you had flooded them with incredulous strings of scintillating diamonds and pearls,

  Your tongue seemed to me like lifeless tiger skin suspended dolorously from the ceiling; although you cheekily moved it inside your mouth umpteenth number

  of times in a single minute,

  Your sweat seemed to me like a transiently fading mirage melting at electric speeds as the seconds unfurled by; although you let it pour poignantly upon my eye as you conversed boisterously by my side,

  Your feet seemed to me like the miserably evaporating waterfall lasting for only frugal periods after the monsoons; although you had encompassed them in alluring chains of white silver; audaciously struck your big toe in the center of my chest,

  Your skin seemed to me like fermented milk rotting in open space since ages; although you had inundated it with overwhelmingly austere rose scent; and it glowed

  more tenaciously than the moon had ever shone,

  Your nails seemed to me like old frogs croaking in timid submission just before their death; although you had pruned them meticulously with contemporary times;

  vibrantly cuddled my soft cheeks with your piquantly painted nail polish,

  Your ears seemed to me like colorless pools of saliva loitering on the dusty street; although you had decorated their dainty periphery with opulent jewelry; dangled them seductively before my face,

  Your belly seemed to me like charred firewood; nimbly smoldering embers of subsiding fire; although you had enveloped it in mesmerizing silk; gyrated it

  voluptuously to captivate my attention,

  Your height seemed to me like the diminutively inconspicuous dwarfs; although you trespassed on spiffy heels; stood at a handsome stature from the nonchalantly flat ground,

  Your bangles seemed to me like infinitesimal beads of orphaned cotton; although you shook them vehemently near my ears; permeating the still ambience around

  with volcanic noise,

  And I am profoundly sorry to say O! beloved that all I was able to make out of you was a blurred and a slim mosquito; unable to appreciate your alluring charisma

  and royal grace,

  As I gawked at your persona in open mouthed amazement; missing you perhaps more than God could have missed this earth when you were gone; was infact meeting you after 3 torturously complete days .

  19. BIND US TOGETHER 

   

  The moment she was with me I shouted at her stringently; showing her my fists in indignation,

  But I realized it only when she went off to sleep; that I craved to speak to her; missed the bustling noise of her footsteps.

  The moment she was with me I teased her unrelentingly; scowled at her making ungainly faces,

  But I realized it only when she went out shopping; that I longed for her like anything; desperately craved to hear the melody in her voice.

&n
bsp; The moment she was with me I kept scratching my hair; hardly paying attention to the activities she recited of the day,

  But I realized it only when she talked the same to her alien friends; that how inquisitive I was to hear it passionately from her mouth.

  The moment she was with me I castigated all attempts of hers to tie my shoelace; portraying myself to be a perfect man,

  But I realized it only when she went to mothers place; as to how inevitably I needed her; and what a child I became in her absence.

  The moment she was with me I shrug the food she made; declaring it to be bland and tasteless,

  But I realized it only when she fed the same lovingly to the servants; as to how much I cherished each meal she prepared.

  The moment she was with me I revolted vehemently that she snored; not letting me sleep blissfully for even a single minute,

  But I realized it only when she slept in the lawns; as to how much I missed her caress; the ardor in her breath that intermingled with mine.

  The moment she was with me I protruded my tongue at her for not bathing; admonishing her for flooding my nostrils with a smell like rotten tomato,

  But I realized it only when she walked out of the house in anger; that I found the most exotic of perfume to be raw dirt in front of her perspiration.

  The moment she was with me I pointed fingers at her eyes; saying that she was horrendously squint,

  But I realized it only when she closed them abruptly at me; as to how mesmerizing were her lashes; the poignant empathy that they oozed out every unfurling

  second.

  The moment she was with me I told her to dismiss off from my presence; leaving me alone to delve in my world of fantasy,

  But I realized it only when she exited; that my dreams ended there and then; and each pore of my body cried for her in agony.

  Therefore this is my humble plea to you O! Almighty Lord; please don’t separate us ever,

  For she was my blood and I was her breath; and we would die a gruesome death to take birth again as lovers; if you didn’t BIND US IN THIS LIFE TOGETHER .

 

  20. WHEN I LOST MY LOVE

   

  i drowned myself in large beer cans of alcohol, 

  Lay the whole night on desolate sands of the beach, 

  Traversed bare feet through scorching territories of  stone ground, 

  Sang nostalgic rhymes while kissing the winter breeze, 

  Grew strands of unruly beard on the immaculate skin of  my face, 

  Stared unrelentingly all night at the cameo of twinkling stars, 

  Consumed food abstemiously with occasional sips of soiled water, 

  Erupted with volatile outbursts of anger at the slightest of provocation, 

  Walked at languid pace with the acerbic sun filtering through my eyes, 

  Wore pure suits of torn jute blended with cheap pieces of leather, 

  Lambasted myself with incessant strokes of the whiplash at dawn, 

  Distributed all my affluence to the needy and impoverished, 

  Disposed my smoke Grey sedan in fathomless waters of the ocean, 

  Burnt all novels which contained even minuscule traces of romance, 

  Refrained to cast frivolous glances the charismatic passing by, 

  Sequestered myself from pragmatic realities of life, 

  spending life like a relic in a dilapidated barn, 

  Ploughed the earth with my pickaxe shovel; the only means of survival, 

  There was a  time I had bounced radiantly; blooming with life, 

  While at the present moment though; I sobbed all day and sinister night, 

  As I no longer possessed the power to win back my love, 

  To shrug of the obliteration's and make her forever mine.

 

  21. WHEN IN LOVE 

  Even if you slapped me hard in my cheek; mercilessly whipping the succulent flesh of my body,

  I would still bow down my head in obeisance; proclaim vociferously to the world that I loved you.

  Even if you spat on me loads of your tangy saliva; castigating me openly amidst scores of civilians; for the most inadvertent of my mistakes,

  I would still offer you a glass of spring water to mollify your anger; say

  audaciously that I loved you.

  Even if you starved me of food for the entire day; refraining to cast an amicable look in my direction,

  I would still endeavor my best to make you frivolously smile; trying to enlighten the pallid atmosphere; declare without hesitancy that I loved you.

  Even if you made me polish the dilapidated floors till they shone like mirrors; dictatorially commanded me to wipe your shoes,

  I would still worship your feet in due reverence; whisper to the obdurate brick walls that I loved you.

  Even if you made me iron your ostentatious clothes; dressing me in threadbare

  sacs of corrugated jute,

  I would still engulf you with the extra rag on my body; when you were shivering; sobbing hysterically in front of you to convey that I loved you.

  Even if you shut your eyes when I confronted you; smirking haughtily when I

  tried to utter the most diminutive of sound,

  I would still carry you to your bed when your dreary toes floundered to hold

  their weight on the ground; kiss you gently on your lips to portray I loved you.

  Even if you deliberately snapped off my car brakes; making sure I met with a ghastly accident the next time I drove,

  I would still utter your name while lying submerged in pools of greasy blood; shout as hard as I could expend my lungs to say that I loved you.

  Even if you wished derogatory for me night and day; ominously stared at me for

  no fault of mine,

  I would still pray to the creator to impregnate your life with bountiful riches; ubiquitously disclose that I loved you.

  Even if you pushed me from the aircraft hovering at an unprecedented altitude

  in the clouds; waiting anxiously to witness the scenario of my inevitable death,

  I would still smile compassionately at you; fervently hoping to witness your

  grace again in the next birth; unanimously declare to all that I loved you before I relinquished breath.

  Do you want to know the secret behind my blatantly irrational behavior; the cause for my uninhibited sacrifice,

  Well its simply this darling; that I had loved you intensely since the moment I first saw you,

  And WHEN IN LOVE; I only knew to chivalrously give; for the moment I asked you to grant me favors in return; I would be christened as the "biggest beggar". 

   

 

  22. IN ORDER TO REPAIR 

   

  In order to repair the broken door; what was required was a plethora of finely

  chiseled nails; along with an adroit carpenter,

  In order to repair the tumbledown television; what was required was a maze of

  intricate wires; and the services of a technician,

  In order to repair the severely corrugated road; what was required was bountiful amounts of fresh mud; to be scrupulously compacted by the gigantic bulldozer,

  In order to repair the shoddy shoe; what was required was strong spools of

  thread; and a metallic bodkin to meticulously stitch the same,

  In order to repair the fragile economy of the country; what was required was a

  stringent dictator; who thoroughly refrained from indulging into the most

  inconspicuous of malpractice; shirked his face away from taking bribe,

  In order to repair the houses flooded with the onslaught of stormy coastal

  waves; what was required was to evacuate the afflicted from the tyranny of

  sea,

  In order to repair the dilapidated car; what was required was a host of scintillating spare parts; and a drum replete with lubricant oil,

  In order to repair th
e punctured tier; what was required was a few bellows of

  compressed air; which lay incarcerated in the hand pump,
