Even before you could drag her hands towards the
acerbically gleaming knife; slice my fingers into
infinite pieces,
Even before you could dropp a stone on her dainty head;
smash my skull into a million fragments,
Even before you could deprive her of inevitable
glasses of water; gruesomely extricate my throat of
its last bit of poignant saliva,
Even before you could maneuver the pin surreptitiously
towards her spell binding eyes; blind me for countless
births of mine to yet unveil,
Even before you could make her trip inadvertently over
the cold floor; hurl me uncouthly from the summit of
the colossal mountain like a chunk of lifeless
matchstick,
Even before you could make her forget a single
anecdote of her overwhelmingly precious life; make me
wander like an insane lunatic; oblivious to all
mankind,
Even before you could make her grapple a trifle in the
placid swimming pool; drown me ruthlessly to the rock
bottom of the fathomless ocean,
Even before you could make the tiniest of tear drop
ooze from her mesmerizing eyes; flood my entire
destiny with unfathomable sorrow and treacherous
malice,
Even before you could make her falter in her
stupendously emphatic speech; convert me into
pathetically dumb; barbarically chopping my tongue
into incomprehensible number of minuscule bits,
Even before you could furtively capsize her
transiently tinkling laughter; sew my lips satanically
with the threads of irrevocable terror,
Even before you could rob a single hair from her
alluring scalp; make me completely bald; with my head
sparkling a ghastly white under dim beams of
moonlight,
Even before you could deprive her of even a diminutive
fraction of celestial sleep; savagely rip away all the
bliss engulfing my persona; thrusting me into an ocean
of unsurpassable complications,
Even before you could keep her hungry for more than a
single minute; starve me miserably for unimaginable
number of decades,
Even before you could think of destroying her divinely
dwelling; mercilessly pulverize each of my bones to
more than a billion pulp,
Even before you could snap an inconspicuous strand of
hair from her voluptuous eyelash; assassinate both my
supple lids from deep within their very fragile roots,
Even before you could tamper the slightest with her
ability to seductively sing; transform my voice into
one more hoarser than the obnoxiously black crow,
Even before you could trespass the most infinitesimal
with her tumultuous exuberance; exhaust all the energy
and blood from my vast conglomerate of veins,
Even before you could cause the faintest of panic in
her heart; make my beats race faster than the volcano
erupting and profusely blazing through the atmosphere,
And even before you could evolve the wildest
perception of taking her breath away O! Almighty Lord;
bury me alive a thousand feet beneath my corpse; till
the time you wanted this planet to continue….
