Somewhere amidst the ensemble of dead bodies incarcerated in stone coffins; there exists sporadic incidences of fresh life,
Somewhere in the midst of bedraggled urchins incessantly begging for alms; there lives a jeweled prince,
Somewhere in the smoldering ashes of crackling fire; there exists the newly born child,
Somewhere in the thick of intense corruption; abysmal incidences of unsurpassable lechery; there exists a solitarily honest man,
Somewhere in gruesome darkness for a million kilometers in the jungle; there exists a minuscule beam of stringent light,
Somewhere amidst a consortium of satanic devils trying to destroy the earth; there exists the omniscient creator,
And somewhere in this mundane world; with blood sucking individuals inhabiting every nook and cranny; there exists an unbiased girl who can love me like no one else ever did; making me feel every unfurling minute that I was alive.
14. COMPASSIONATELY IN LOVE
I saw her mesmerizing face in the walls; while pouring sizzling tea in my
cup,
Although I soon realized that I was rampantly fantasizing; as the steaming
liquid burnt my skin; spilling over the immaculate material of my trousers.
I saw her magnanimous silhouette in the rocks; while driving my car through
circuitous routes of the valley,
Although I soon realized that it was a figment of my imagination; as the car
swerved violently colliding with the hand rail; overlooking a few thousand
feet into panoramic space.
I saw her jelly blue eyes while walking on each vehicle; while walking through
the congested street,
Although I soon realized that I was dreaming under the sun; as compact cars
whizzed inches from my body; leaving clouds of black smoke for me to inhale.
I saw her honey coated red lips in the wall; as I languidly strolled through
the interiors of the mystical palace,
Although I soon realized that I was out of tangible senses; as I violently
barged against the iron doors; tripping neatly over a jugglery of intricate
furniture.
I saw her dainty feet embedded with jingling bells; as I sat peacefully at the
precarious edge of the bridge,
Although I soon realized that I was drowned in a reverie; as I plummeted down;
losing my stoical composure to blend with the chilly waters of the river.
I saw her ravishing hair flowing in the gentle breeze; as I ruminated on my
past while cooking food,
Although I soon realized that I was romanticizing a bit too much; when eerie
whistle of the pressure cooker inundated my sensitive ears.
I saw her smiling revealing her magnanimous teeth; while playing cricket with
the sun god shining above my head,
Although I soon realized that I was in seventh heaven; when the hard ball
struck me on my chin; giving my face a ghastly black swollen look.
I saw the vivacious outlines of her eyebrows; while writing my examinations,
Although I soon realized that I was wistfully perceiving; when the slender
cane of my professor lashed stringently on my scalp.
I saw her rubicund cheeks embossed with blemishes; while lifting bulky weights
in the gym,
Although I soon realized that I was intensely dreaming in the day; when the
heavy bars landed with an abrupt thud on my chest.
I saw her in part and whole; throughout the monotonous day; in my dreams; and
in every person I met; irrespective of caste and creed,
Yes O! divine creator; you know as well as I do; the only reason behind my
absurd behavior; was that I was compassionately in love .
15. THE THING
The thing as frigid as a dead follicle of hair; was indiscreet hatred,
The thing as disdainful as the bathroom cockroach; was illicit smuggling,
The thing as pale as the dilapidated wall; was overwhelming prejudice,
The thing as resplendent as the pearly moon; was a gregarious smile on the
luscious lips,
The thing as morose as the broken branch of the tree; was tumultuous sorrow
blended with grief,
The thing as transparent as the crystal mountain stream; was unsolicited truth,
The thing as bankrupt as a bedraggled beggar; was pugnacious enmity,
The thing as innocuous as the hazel eyed monkey; was the cry of a small
child,
The thing as volatile as hot green chili; was immensely provoked anger,
The thing as sweet as freshly prepared nectar; was the voice of the benevolent
propagating humanity,
The thing as blotted as the abysmally dark waters of the gutter;
was indiscriminately brutal crime,
The thing as cold as frozen pulp of icecream; was blatant jealousy,
The thing as nostalgic as the oblivious past; was indefatigable fantasies of
the brain,
The thing as sizzling as ravishing brown crustacean coffee; was stupendous
exultation,
The thing as inflated as a gas balloon; was ostentatious pride,
The thing as appeasing as appetizing morsels of food; was philanthropic
friendship which fortified by the minute,
The thing as vociferous as a barking dog; was insatiable hunger which arose
sporadically in the stomach,
The thing as infinite as the boundaries of the emerald ocean; was ubiquitous humanity,
The thing as inevitably intoxicating as liquor; was unfathomable greed,
The thing as venomous as the sting of a scorpion; was racial discrimination,
The thing as preposterously huge as the impeccable dolphin; was
empathy towards fellow beings,
The thing as starved as scorched sands of the desert; was the ominously
diabolic devil,
And the thing as impeccable as white pearls impregnated in oyster shells; as
effusive as thunderous rain pelting down; was perpetual love .
16. IMPRISONED
I had dirt imprisoned in my nails; which seemed all the more abashing when I
stood in the limelight; confronting public,
I had scores of dandruff imprisoned in my scalp; prompting me to inevitably
scratch; although it blended strikingly with my black coat,
I had tumultuous strength imprisoned in my clenched fists; having stupendous
power to decimate impostors swindling the innocent,
I had eloquence imprisoned in my throat; which made me chant melodious rhymes
of synchronized music,
I had tenacity imprisoned in my emphatic eyes; which pos
sessed the prowess to
melt the supremely intransigent,
I had a frivolous smile imprisoned in my luscious lips; which seemed all the more profound; when I encountered ravishing beauty,
I had a jugglery of obdurate muscle imprisoned in my legs; enabling me to traverse long distance in acerbic sun; bereft of a vehicle,
I had millions of hair imprisoned in my skin; cushioning me from uncouth blows
of the society,
I had salubrious blood imprisoned in my intricate veins; instilling in me the
strength to sustain life,
I had a crimson pink tongue imprisoned in my mouth; granting me the
indispensable ability of speech,
I had a bulky wallet imprisoned in my trouser pocket; making me feel
despicable; when I stripped it of its currency,
I had a flamboyant horse imprisoned in my stables; on which I used to sit and
gallivant through the mountains,
I had infinite lines imprisoned at the back of my palm; which audaciously
portrayed my destiny to unleash,
I had unfathomable cells imprisoned in my finely chiseled brain; blessing me
with the capacity to decode the most baffling of enigmas,
I had golden droplets of sweat imprisoned in my armpits; inundating the placid
surroundings with unbearable stench,
I had tones of air imprisoned in my inflated lungs; which made me breathe;
relish every unveiling second of life,
I had yellow enamel camouflaging my teeth; making it impossible for me to
smile,
I had nostalgic memories imprisoned in my subconscious mind; as I ruefully
reminisced all those moments when I was young,
And most importantly; superseding all things; I had her love imprisoned in my
heart; which bestowed upon me the impetus to blissfully live; fight for justice in this nonchalant world .
17. I WOULD CONSIDER MYSELF THE RICHEST
I would consider myself the richest man on earth; if I possessed the eyes of
truth,
Able to judiciously discriminate between; the good and obnoxiously evil inhabiting remote corners of the globe.
I would consider myself the richest man on earth; if I possessed egalitarian
arms,
Ready to embrace those in severe affliction; without the baseless fear of
getting stained and dirty.
I would consider myself the richest man on earth; if I possessed the power of
mystical clairvoyance,
Able to prognosticate the ominous events to unveil; saving the earth from
possible disaster.
I would consider myself the richest man on earth; if I possessed a phlegmatic
voice,
Capable of pacifying those engulfed with inexplicable distress; put all children without parents to sleep.
I would consider myself the richest man on earth; if I could leap from
astronomical heights of the bridge into the river,
Save scores of innocuous children from drowning; embed their terrorized faces
with mischievous smiles.
I would consider myself the richest man on earth; if I possessed feet which
could withstand the most onerous of load,
Carry the ones crippled; making them witness the most mesmerizing avenues of
the world.
I would consider myself the richest man on earth; if I possessed clusters of
teeth capable of extracting venom;
Evacuating the most lethal of poison from the body of the dying; rejuvenating
them with fresh doors of hope.
I would consider myself the richest man on earth; if I possessed the prowess
of assassinate the most evanescent of corruption prevailing,
Liberating the impoverished from impregnable clutches of slavery; granting
them the supreme distinction of breathing free air.
I would consider myself the richest man on earth; if I could stay awake all
night;
Incessantly guarding those who were philanthropic; ever ready to propagate the
benevolent cause of humanity.
And I would consider myself the richest man on earth; if I could possess and
incarcerate the love I so vehemently desired,
Help all residing on land; to get the dream partner of their own choice .
18. THE PLATE OF LOVE
When there was appetizing fruit placed on a plate of scintillating silver; I
didn’t feel like eating,
I was a trifle too busy contemplating the price of the plate; though there was
nothing wrong with the food.
When I was served immaculately ravishing noodles on a plate of pure gold; I
didn’t feel like eating,
I was afraid of impregnating blotches on the plate; when I caressed it with my
bohemian hands; though there were pangs of hunger reverberating in my stomach.
When I was served a blend of Italian cheese and cucumber on a plate of crystal
studded with diamonds; I didn’t feel like eating,
I was intensely absorbed in decoding my reflection in the glistening jewels; though the sight of the delicacy made my mouth water.
When I was served a steaming curry of pungent soup on a plate of intricately
chiseled marble; I didn’t feel like eating,
I was heavily circumspect on staining the marble in the process of eating; though the concoction looked immensely sumptuous.
When I was served roasted almonds juxtaposed with honey on a plate of pure
sapphire; I didn’t feel like eating,
I was completely lost admiring the dazzling radiance of stone; though there
were insatiable desires to tenaciously chew the same.
When I was served sliced onions wound with blood red radish on a plate of
flocculent satin; I didn’t feel like eating,
I was skeptical that its contents would spill over the sheets; though there
was a niggling pain in my fingers to snatch the food.
When I was served a bunch of succulent violet grapes on a plate of exquisite
rosewood; I didn’t feel like eating,
I was mesmerized by the plethora of designs embossed in the wood; though there
were grinding sensations in my fortress of teeth.
When I was served a chocolate brown plum cake strewn with cherry on a plate of
voluptuous lotus; I didn’t feel like eating,
I was lost in the heavenly fragrance of the flower; though my mouth watered
unrelentingly like a starved pig.
When I was served simmering chicken transposed with green leaf on a plate of
snake leather; I didn’t feel like eating,
I was enchanted by the satiny complexion of the skin; though my eyes popped
out of their sockets at witnessing the food.
And eventually when I was served a nutritious agglomerate of curd and rice on
a plate stitched with threads of our impregnable love; my beloved feeding me
with her dainty fingers,
I cupidly gobbled the same in no time; compensating for my previous failures;
food had never tasted so tasty before,
As it did when she fed me recounting tales of her childhood .
19. USE YOUR HEART
&
nbsp; Use your nails to scratch stale paint from walls; peel off the rust from
indispensable commodities for survival,
Use your toes to poke someone frivolously in the ribs; hoist intricate pieces
of cloth strewn on the floor,
Use your eyes to distinguish between the sacrosanct and the devil; swirling
them rampantly in all directions to grasp the beauty of the universe,
Use your fingers to scribble infinite lines of literature; seize all those in
a vise like grip trying to massacre the law,
Use your legs to walk unrelentingly in the sun; indiscriminately kick all
those pernicious impediments that confront your way,
Use your nose to breathe in gallons of fresh air; detect fragrance and
obnoxious stench in the atmosphere with equality,
Use your arms to embrace all those afflicted with pain; profusely loving the
