»In order to savagely die

 

In order to embarrassingly fall on the ground; one
must first try to audaciously stand,

In order to vehemently cry aloud in astonishingly calm
air; one must first try to inculcate the virtue of
uninhibited laughter,

In order to be blatantly illiterate; one must first
try to imbibe the meaning of sagacious and
discerningly literate,

In order to be dismally gloomy; one must first try to
flirtatiously smile,

In order to be disastrously defeated; one must first
try to embrace exhilarating victory,

In order to feel gruesomely bizarre winds of freezing
cold; one must first try to experience the winds of
inexorably blistering heat,

In order to starve to unprecedented limits; one must
first try to eat succulent morsels of tantalizing food
to the most gargantuan of his heart's content,

In order to thunderously sneeze; one must first try to
inhale in fresh draughts of exuberant breath,

In order to get overwhelmingly wounded; one must first
try to valiantly brandish a sword and fight,

In order to remain as still and motionless as the
morbid corpse; one must first try to boisterously
march at the crack of every euphoric dawn,

In order to dance naked on the viciously barren
streets; one must first try embellish himself
completely from fluffy head to diminutive feet,

In order to hysterically scream; one must first try to
remain perpetually silent,

In order to fight unceremoniously with innocuous
people sleeping in their dwelling; one must first try
to incessantly pray,

In order to blink indefatigably without the slightest
of control; one must first try to prudently stare for
marathon hours on the trot,

In order to perceive the most obnoxious stench
existing on this planet; one must first try to
profoundly absorb the stupendous scent of the scarlet
rose,

In order to thunderously yawn in the midst of the
bombastic conference; one must first try to sit
sagaciously for countless hours on the desk; without
budging the tiniest either to the right; or the
extreme left,

In order to break the glass into infinite splinters of
serrated mirror; one must first try to wholesomely
admire his reflection to unsurpassable extents; even
after ghoulish nightfall,

In order to commit salacious acts of mortifying
betrayal; one must first try to wholeheartedly; and
truly love,

In order to trip head on to the rock bottom of the
obdurate ground; one must first try to dexterously
clamber up the escalating and rickety staircase,

In order to go perpetually blind; one must first try
to enjoy the spell binding and mesmerizing prowess of
handsome sight,

In order to disdainfully drown to the bed of the deep
and fathomless ocean; one must first try to
uninhibitedly swing his arms and swim,

In order to become barbarically dumb; one must first
try to eloquently speak and sing,

And in order to savagely die and brusquely relinquish
breath; one must first try and lead life; move his
hands and feet for existence; move his hands to
blissfully survive…

»In order to wipe my sins

 

In order to wipe sweat trickling down my nape; I used a
large bandanna,
in order to wipe blotches of mud from my demeanor; I
used a soft towel,
in order to wipe scalding tea from my shirt; I used a
colossal palm leaf,
in order to wipe invincible stains of crimson betel; I
used stringent
antiseptic,
in order to wipe agglutinated paint from the wall; I
used a blend of water and
salt,
in order to wipe tonnes of sawdust from the pellucid
glass; I used a fluffy
brush of handsome cotton,
in order to wipe sumptuous grape vine from the
barrel; I used my tongue,
in order to wipe oleaginous grease from live grass; I
used micro thin bristles
of brush,
in order to wipe disdainful sewage from earth; I used a
pair of dry twigs to
incinerate,
in order to wipe saline tears from her eyes; I used my
strong palm,
in order to wipe immaculate chalk from the
blackboard, I used a rosewood
duster,
in order to wipe incongruous thorns from the mystical
grave; I used a forked
pickaxe,
in order to wipe blood oozing profusely from my
wounds; I used a concoction of
whisky and sponge,
in order to wipe erroneous blunders in
pronunciation; I used the dictionary,
in order to wipe mascara from her dainty eyes; I used
my luscious red lips,
in order to wipe my bowels clean of debris; I used a
well spun sanitary towel,
in order to wipe brackish footprints of my triangular
feet; I used soft
detergent,
in order to wipe flakes of white powder from my scalp;
i vociferously used an
extract of medieval roots,
in order to wipe venomous poison from her cheek; I
articulately used my teeth
and withdrew,
in order to wipe moisture from sequestered interiors
of my home; I made use of
fumigating sunlight,
and in order to wipe the heinous sins I committed this
existing life; I took
birth for infinite decades,
harnessing the void created with my precious blood

»In our succeeding lives…

 

Just when we’d completed the most immortally blessing kiss of all times; with our insatiably crimson lips; now profusely oozing cloudbursts of unparalleled passion,

Just when we’d completed the most sensuously tantalizing chase of all times; with our enigmatically aroused skin pores now desiring nothing else but the untamed smooch of our lips,

Just when we’d completed the most thunderously igniting caress of all times; with our arms now wanting to altruistically relinquish everything worldly around; to forever unite in the spirit of invincible oneness,

Just when we’d completed the most mellifluously romantic songs of all times; with our throats now voicing the innermost tunes of our enamoring soul; without moving even an infinitesimal fraction,

Just when we’d completed the most heart-to-heart discussions of all times; with our forms now desiring nothing else but celestial rest; for an infinite more destined lifetimes,

Just when we’d completed the most symbiotically shared meals of all times; with our bloodstreams now eternally united in the strings of miraculously ameliorating humanity,

Just when we’d completed the most boundlessly bewitching fantasizing of all times; with our brains now fully comprehending each other in every tangible and intangibly cognizable shape; situation; color and form,

Just when we’d completed the most ravishingly unbridled explorations of all times; with our fingers now wanting to solely intertwine in the best of friendship on this earth—that eventually led to the gates of ultimate paradise,
Just when we’d completed the most euphorically mollifying victories of all times; with our spirits now yearning to only see- the devil being unsparingly torched to the last bone of its fecklessly frigid spine,

Just when we’d completed the most spell-bindingly fiery dance of all times; with our muscles and bones now only fervently yearning—to wholesomely surrender to every stroke of destiny and unleashing time,

Just when we’d completed the most wholeheartedly untamed guffaw of all times; with our jaws now wanting to do nothing else; but contentedly sleep for a thousand more centuries to unveil,

Just when we’d completed the most voluptuously exotic suckling of all times; with our tongues now finding heavenly sweetness; in even the most bitter venom that dared cascade on them,

Just when we’d completed the most brilliantly sensitive poetic verses of all times; with our palms now feeling as if uninhibitedly swaying in rhapsodic utopia; right here on the trajectory of mundanely commercial earth,

Just when we’d completed the most unbelievably philanthropic charities of all times; with our souls now feeling washed and wholesomely eradicated; of a countless derogatory sins of a countless treacherous past lives,

Just when we’d completed the most stupendously intricate nibbling of all times; with our teeth now happily and unabashedly chattering a nineteen to the dozen; for the rest of our lives,

Just when we’d completed the most unflinchingly beautiful marriage rituals of all times; with our nerves now blissfully bonded into one unassailable mass; with the blessings of the Omnipotent Almighty Lord,

Just when we’d completed the most unsurpassable admiration of all times; with our speech now liberating and insuperably uniting with the Omniscient aura of the lord—as we continued to sing an infinite hymns of praise for all his infinite creation,

Just when we’d completed the most poignantly unmatched mating of all times; with our bodies now unstoppably laughing; at even the most ghastliest prospect of going down the grave,

Continents apart. You got up with a jerk from your divinely sleep in the arms of your husband. And I got up with a bolt of lightening even greater- viciously crumpled under the bohemian feet of my wife. And how we wished and wished and wished; that this impossible dream of ours atleast got completed after our deaths; and in our succeeding lives….

»In Return….

 

I didn’t the slightest expect even the most iridescently undefeated of mountaintops; the ultimate apogees of infallibly glittering success; in return for it,

I didn’t the slightest expect even the most inimitably enamoring of pearls; the ecstatically virgin shimmer that granted bounteous fantasy for an unfathomable more lifetimes, in return for it,

I didn’t the slightest expect even the most gloriously unchallengeable of laurels; the perpetual tunes of plaudits drifting left; right; center and in every conceivable pore of atmosphere; in return for it,

I didn’t the slightest expect even the most unshakably powerful of fortresses; the rawness of united power demonstrated magnificently at every step; in return for it,

I didn’t the slightest expect even the most undyingly replenished of treasuries; the signature of stinking wealth which could virtually buy anything on this planet today; in return for it,

I didn’t the slightest expect even the most immortal spells of life; the heaven where there was absolutely not the tiniest trace of gorily asphyxiating death; in return for it,

I didn’t the slightest expect even the most blessedly kingly destiny lines of life; the magical routes which led to nothing else but sparkling prosperity; in return for it,

If only; you gave me each beat of your immortally compassionate heart; in return for every corresponding beat of my heart; which inexhaustibly throbbed for you and only you; forever and ever and ever in my chest’s goldmine…

»In the eyes of hatred

 

In the conglomerate of sinister clouds; there lay
hidden twinkling stars,
Which emitted brilliant ramifications as the sky
cleared; mystically
illuminating the atmosphere.

In the dense clusters of green leaves; there lay
hidden the incongruously
sculptured branch,
Which was thoroughly elastic with succulent juice
oozing; and provided
adequate nutrition to the leaves.

In colossal slopes of the treacherous mountain
terrain; there lay hidden
infinite tunnels; sequestered from acerbic rays of the
sun,
In which resided scores of innocuous rabbit; as well
as a fleet of wailing
wolf.

In the hostile fangs of poisonous reptile; there lay
hidden a hissing sound,
Which permeated the ambience with waves of
enchantment; indispensably
captivating the attention of all animals in vicinity.

In the blistering rays of flaming sun; there lay
hidden resplendent tinges of
rich gold,
Which depicted its natural splendor; the mesmerizing
spell that it had cast
for centuries unprecedented on this earth.

In the ocean of sizzling lava strewn rampantly
circumventing the volcano;
there lay hidden crimson colored fumes,
Which painstakingly arose in the air; eventually
blending with the firmament
of sky.

In the diabolical silhouette of wild elephant; there
lay hidden twin pairs of
gleaming tusks,
Which bore their way vehemently through the jungle
outgrowths; portraying
their magnanimous glory to all.

In every rivulet of the intensely polluted stream;
there lay hidden sweet
mineral water,
If only it was scrupulously recycled; stringently
annihilating disdainful
impurities impregnated in its persona.

In the body of every little child wandering on this
earth; there lay hidden
the omniscient god,
As immaculate as virgin milk dribbling from cow teats;
with the entire
universe distinctly visible in the impeccable mouth.

And in the eyes of overwhelming hatred; there lay
hidden dormant traces of
perpetual love,
Which was ready to yield; the moment you caressed and
tickled it with loads
of empathy blended with profound care..

»In the eyes of my beloved

 

As I tried to decipher my destiny in the eyes of the horrendously slithering crocodile; confronting him face on beside the marshy swamps,
All I saw was a life blended consisting of savage deeds compounded with profound animosity; and before I could ask him a volley of questions; he gobbled me like mincemeat with his knife like jaws.

As I tried to cognize my destiny in the eyes of a frivolous chimpanzee; patting him gently on his back,
All I saw was an aboriginal life of leaping voraciously on trees; inexorably masticating a meal of succulent banana; unable to go to school like humans do.

As I tried to perceive my destiny in the eyes of the hideous lizard; blowing my breath in gasps on its serrated skinned body,
All I saw was a bleak future devouring scores of slimy insects; spending the remainder of my life in realms of despondency and circumspection.

As I tried to envisage my destiny in the eyes of a pernicious vulture; sitting in close proximity with its monstrous sized eggs,
All I saw was a brutal life plucking decayed carrion from the flesh of lifeless bodies; scaring innocuous creatures in the sky with my dreaded persona.

As I tried to visualize my destiny in the eyes of a grizzly bear; riding on his furry back through the snow clad mountains,
All I saw was a shivering life in the freezing winds; a future in which there would be absolutely no sun in the cosmos to sight.

As I tried to conceive my destiny in the eyes of a potbellied tortoise; forcing him to extrude out his slender neck,
All I saw was a life full of indolence blended with languid ease; without budging a solitary inch for years on the trot.

As I tried to speculate my destiny in the eyes of a hunch backed camel; endeavoring to caress its slimy nose,
All I saw was a life full of confronting sweltering sandstorms; consuming scraggy cactus for morning breakfast as well as nocturnal supper.

As I tried to discern my destiny in the eyes of mammoth dinosaur; standing like an inconspicuous mosquito on the ground,
All I saw was a life replete with barbaric domination; and before I could even realize; he instantaneously pulverized me to saw dust under his diabolical feet.

As I tried to contemplate my destiny in the eyes of a scintillating dolphin; floating beside it in the swirling ocean,
All I saw was a life diving acrobatically in the waters; occasionally being eaten by the preposterously huge white shark.

As I tried to comprehend my destiny in the eyes of a cold blooded murderer; standing in the firing range of his gleaming revolver,
All I saw was a life assassinating innocuous individuals; coating my palms with their innocent blood.

And eventually as I tried to imagine my destiny in the eyes of my beloved; I felt submerged in waves of unprecedented euphoria,
And it was here that I saw my life the most beautiful; the most ravishing; the most exhilarating out of all of my previous lives; and I discovered a host of blissfully fulfilling purposes to live.

draughts of air.

catacombed body.

next birth,

If I was born as an indigenous woman in the next birth,
I would overwhelmingly desire you as the contemporary man
from the city.

again in the next birth,
I would want you to be the same girl; whom I loved immensely today; existing on this earth.

»In the realms of sacrosanct marriage

 

There was a time when we talked in hushed whispers
behind the bushes; endeavoring our best to camouflage
our bodies from the extraneous world,
While today we sat closely beside each other under
brilliant daylight; entwining our palms formidably
against each other; blatantly in the midst of the
bustling streets.

There was a time when we waited for marathon hours to
meet; anxiously anticipating the sun to set down in
the hills before we started for our clandestine
expeditions,
While today we spent each moment together; with our
breaths drifting down passionately without the
slightest of synchronized control.

There was a time when we painstakingly craved to hear
each others voices; trying to frantically search our
memory as far as possible to salvage the last word we
spoke,
While today we indefatigably talked till our tongues
ached; conversed about the weirdest topics in this
world; our eyes locked immortally with each other.

There was a time when we cordially smiled in front of
the society; to depict that we were nothing else but
good friends of after school,
While today we laughed to our hearts content
philandering euphorically through the labyrinth of
mystical valleys; leaving the civilized planet
forever; well behind our times.

There was a time when we yearned to see all rays
relinquish completely in our dwellings; so that we
could surreptitiously meet and sight each other for a
short while under milky moonbeams,
While today we admired each other to the most
unprecedented capacity of our minds; in tenaciously
fiery and flamboyant full house lights.

There was a time when we witnessed each other with
stooping eyes; profoundly mortified by each others
presence in front of our revered elders,
While today we danced in ebullient energy even after
midnight; with our lids incorrigibly refusing to bat
the tiniest; gazing wide open till unsurpassable
times.

There was a time when we ate our food in separate
plates; ardently remembering each other; with tears
welling up in our eyes as we nostalgically reminisced
our playful times,
While today we fed each other with our own hands; sat
at whisker length distances with our lips profusely
intermingled; entirely oblivious to the unfurling of
rapid time.

There was a time when we were petrified to see to each
other without prior permissions; as we knew that the
ramifications of that could be punishment upto the
highest decree,
While today we waved at everybody on the roads with
uninhibited freedom; audaciously proclaiming to the
world the tales of our invincible romance.

And there was a time when we had newly met; said 'I
Love you' to each other; were groping to find our
veritable places; blend with the Herculean struggle to
blissfully survive in this colossal globe,
While today we had just tied the nuptial thread;
bonding our mind; body; soul for centuries immemorial;
drifting in a world wholesomely of our own; in the
realms of sacrosanct marriage…
