I had been ardently yearning for this moment as much
as fathomless fields of barren grass; passionately
yearn for rain,
And today her beautifully soft palms were entwined in
heavenly unison with my chest; as she astoundingly
startled me with her bountifully sporadic winking…..
I had been intransigently desiring this moment; as
much as the unfathomably mystical forests; perennially
desire resplendent fruit,
And today her celestially innocuous eyes reflected the
Omnipotent charisma of the entire Universe in my face;
as she gorgeously emanated her very first cry of
survival…..
I had been tumultuously craving for this moment; as
much as the patriotically blazing soldiers crave for;
irrefutably scintillating triumph,
And today her mischievous shock of ravishing hair;
eternally caressed my ebulliently tear soaked
cheeks…..
I had been intractably perceiving this moment; as much
as the Gods in the cosmos indefatigably perceive;
harmoniously symbiotic brotherhood on even the most
remote quarter of this Universe,
And today her divinely diminutive feet rhapsodically
kicked my chin; with each profoundly pronounced line
on her majestic palms; euphorically chiseling the
remainder of my penurious life….
I had been irrevocably fantasizing about this moment;
as much as the profusely scarlet roses fantasize about
being regally kissed; by the voluptuously silken
clouds,
And today her innocuously rubicund lips smiled
uninhibitedly at me; putting my unsurpassable ocean of
worries and anguish; to a perpetual rest…..
I had been indefatigably wanting this moment; as much
as dolorous solitariness wanted to be handsomely
perpetuated; by a resplendently twinkling fountain of
enchanting sounds,
And today her ingratiatingly sacrosanct forehead
rested blissfully in my outstretched hands; as she
beautifully suckled my little finger in her godly
mouth…..
I had been unrelentingly cognizing this moment; as
much as the freshly sown seeds incessantly cognized
about being aristocratically drenched; by torrential
tumblers of sparkling rain,
And today her immaculately Omniscient skin bestowed
upon me not only the strength to rise from my
veritable grave; but unflinchingly exist for infinite
more births yet to unveil…..
I had been fanatically waiting for this moment; as
much as the disheveled orphans on the street
optimistically waited; to be embraced by cisterns of
unparalleled caring,
And today her impeccable large ears flapped in queenly
tandem against my fingertips; as she incoherently
whispered the magical mantra of life to my; baselessly
wandering soul…..
And I had been immortally anticipating this moment; as
much as gruesomely hapless darkness in the dungeons;
perennially anticipate vibrant beams of vivaciously
unflinching light,
And today her impregnably minuscule heart throbbed
more vibrantly than the chapter of existence near my
neck; with the blood running in her sacred veins the
same as mine; as she was none other than my newly
born daughter; KAVYA….
