i occur in spots of irregular proportions,
i might be black, brown or blue,
i hold great significance in tuning a human being,
i am present right since the first cry of life,
i am indeed a BIRTHMARK.
{1}......

i have undulating rash waves,
i rise and fall with respect to placement of moon,
i am peculiarly salty in taste,
i am a boarding house for fern and fish,
i constitute more than 70 percent of earths surface,
i am the deep blue ocean smashing on rocks.
{2}

i have brown precipices,
i have loose soil cascading down,
i stand like a fortress amidst a cocoon of clouds,
i am a warehouse of museums of minerals,
i don’t like people blasting me with explosive,
i am a chain of mammoth shining rock.
{3}

i have multicolored yellow wings,
i posses stripes of scarlet red,
i feed on minuscule ants and grub,
i perch on dark corners of the room,
i love to fly all sunlit day,
i christen myself the butterfly.
{4}

i emit poisonous smoke,
i know i look like rotten egg,
i cause several diseases and pain,
i lie at the rear of a motorized vehicle,
i want to commit suicide,
i am none other than a circular exhaust pipe.

The eagle soaring handsomely in the air; balanced
itself adroitly on its pair of long wings,

The car traversing like a bullet on the satiny carpet
of land; balanced itself beautifully on its armory of
splendidly inflated tyres,

The colossal building standing on obdurate soil;
balanced itself with nonchalant ease on its
tremendously fortified foundations,

sordid lavatory seat; balanced itself with precision

I didn’t need shampoo to clean my scalp; instead a glass of tainted
water
could excellently do the job,
On the other hand you required tones of bubbly froth to cleanse your
hair;
evacuate the petulant granules of dandruff neatly entrapped between
your
follicles.

I didn’t need gleaming hair oil to smear on my head; all I had to do
was clap
it loudly with my bohemian palms,
On the other hand you required swanky ointments; antiseptic creams to
keep the
conglomerate of your hair well in place.

I didn’t need scintillating scissors to use on my scalp; it would
appear
wholesomely ludicrous even if I held one in close proximity with it,
On the other hand you required a plethora of sharp instruments; pairs
of
intricate razors; in order to occasionally trim the unruly tentacles of
your
hair.

I didn’t need a brush to part my scalp; as it nimbly obliged to my
scrubbing
it with a dust cloth,
On the other hand you required a luxuriously serrated comb; to
meticulously
entangle the incorrigible knots formed in your long hair.

I didn’t need to camouflage my scalp with a taut piece of cloth every
time I
ventured out; as there was no danger of the wind blowing it away,
On the other hand you required to embellish yourself with a
grandiloquent cap;
a host of flapping sunshades; in order to ensure that the thin wisps of
your
hair didn’t rip apart with the tenacious breeze,

I didn’t need to incessantly browse my hands through my scalp; while
attending
pompous parties,
On the other hand you required to sporadically run your fingers against
your
cuticles; making sure that they remained stringently aligned.

I didn’t need to wash my scalp after bathing in the saline ocean;
instead let
it to dry over a natural course of time,
On the other hand it was inevitable for you to stand beneath a steaming
shower; to annihilate all the poignant salt trapped in your greasy
hair.

I didn’t need to consume a battalion of salubrious vitamins to make my
scalp
glisten; simply standing under the blazing sun itself; granted it an
enchanting shine,
On the other hand you desperately required to procure every tonic
available in
the market; to impregnate an artificial luster in your lifeless hair.

I didn’t need to submerge my scalp into ravishing cologne to get
noticed;
people profoundly admired the openness of my head wherever I went,
On the other hand you used to apply the most enticing of gel on your
lackadaisical hair; and yet remained unnoticed.

I didn’t need to coat my scalp with black chemicals; intermittently
apply a
blend of paint and water to keep it in shape,
On the other hand you were exorbitantly conscious about the greyness in
your
hair; painting it with brilliant dye; remained busy all day trying to
pluck
the insipid strands of white.

Therefore it is my earnest prayer to you O! omnipresent creator; to
create me
without hair for the next 100 births; if I fortunately took birth on
this soil
as man,
For I considered myself infinite times luckier to remain 'BALD'; than
suffer
from the unrelenting tyranny of possessing clusters of bushy hair.

When I wore a bangle of pointed thorns on my wrists;
they got apathetically
scarred,
A series of raw bruise developed with the unleashing
hour; and ravines of warm
blood trickled down my fingers.

When I put on a bangle of live reptile on my hands; it
tickled me
voraciously,
The venomous creature hissed enchantingly for a while;
eventually striking its
perfidious(disloyal) fangs indiscriminately in my
flesh.

When I wore a bangle of dead frog on my wrists; there
wafted an unbearable
stench in the atmosphere,
Also the skin in proximity with the contraption
developed a plethora of
infection; catering to a host of abominable insects.

When I wore a bangle of sea shell on my wrists; it
initially imparted me a
majestic look,
But the exhilaration soon faded; as a fleet of slimy
worm came crawling from
the inside recesses.

When I wore a bangle impregnated with ravishing honey
on my wrists; it
glimmered tenaciously in the midday sun,
Although after a few hours I found; the obstreperous
humming bees encircling
it perceiving it to be their hive.

When I wore a bangle of insipid grass on my wrists;
the frigid blades tickled
me pertinently,
And every now and then; I had to scratch my flesh;
executing overwhelming
force of my finger nail.

When I wore a bangle of jingling metal on my wrists;
it glittered profoundly
under the creamy moon,
However it provoked me to the threshold of irritation;
as it produced
cacophonic noise; every time I moved my hand.

When I wore a bangle of pure gold on my wrists; it
incarcerated the attention
of several pedestrians,
The penurious could hardly believe their eyes;
immediately chalked astute
plans of actions to steal it.

When I wore a bangle of elephant teeth on my wrists;
it highlighted richness
blended with rustic tradition,
Although I felt pervaded with remorse for the colossal
beast; nostalgically
reminisced the agony it must have felt while dying.

And finally when I wore the bangle of our love on my
wrists; all my
apprehensions vanished into minute oblivion,
My hands; my persona; and the coordination of my
senses all got astronomically
reinvigorated; and they seemed to be gaining strength
as each day unveiled
into perilous night.

The placid pebble in blue water,
The yellow Sun evading the skies,
A black cloud of mixed feeling,
The blue tear strained eyes.

The mist hanging in the air,
The white dew drops in the field,
The heavenly smell of thatched hay,
The fathers scattered everywhere.

The delicious smell of baked corn,
The cock singing a perfect rhyme,
The lively squirrel on the tree,
The evanescent rising of dawn.

The hedges covered with green foliage,
The fields to be ploughed at,
The hushed rustling of the trees,
The sweet melody in the air.

pieces of stone molded to artistic pawns,
royal knights maneuvering handsomely on the board,
sturdy rooks marching straight with dexterous ease,
hunchbacked bishops gliding through diagonal streets,
haughty queen parading on all quarters of the board,
the resolute king taking a step at a time,
minuscule pawns were killed in initial encounter,
infinite permutations kept going on,
the well spun chess cloth shone in yellow bulb light,
automatic clocks ticked with player moves,
giant screen flashed moves to millions of people,
the indoor auditorium brimmed to capacity,
crowd mass took bated breaths, stayed glued to their
seats,
the battle on board grew tense,
as the day was divested of passing hours,
his tapered fingers eventually slammed a piece down,
chorused smiles reflected on thousands seated,
as well as the ones witnessing it on silver screen,
the winner proudly shook hands with the ruling
president,
flung the trophy high towards kingdom of the creator,
grimaced his teeth in exuberance,
to announce his victory in the world of chess,
crowning him as the reigning 'WORLD CHESS CHAMPION'

I stood for marathon hours under the blistering sun;
accomplishing a battalion
of tasks with the arid breeze slapping my cheek,
When I came back home; I instantly pacified my
insatiable thirst consuming a
glass of cold water.

I ran long distances on a track of consolidated mud;
with pumped exuberance
bursting through my fragile muscles,
Infinite strands of my hair engulfed by golden sweat;
I then submerged my
forehead in a glass of water to rejuvenate my
pulsating temples.

I clambered up steep slopes of the mountain using the
full power of my wrists;
with a crunching sound emanating from my bones,
As an inevitable aftermath; I swooned on the ground
midway in exhaustion;
opened my eyes the instant I was sprinkled with a
glass of water.

I rolled ecstatically in a curry of voluptuously wet
mud; incorporating my
demeanor with streaks of brown blended with abashing
black,
Poured a glass of water with vigorous tenacity on the
same; to get rid of the
disdainful dirt.

I lay unconscious on the ground; after diligently
fasting all day; exhaling
shallow gasps of breath at intermittent intervals;
Displayed the first signs of recovery; after a glass
of water was meticulously
impregnated in my body.

My voice sounded pungently shrill and hoarse
simultaneously; with blurred
notes of music diffusing when I sang,
Although I was cheered with boisterous claps; received
a plethora of
accolades; when I opened my mouth after drinking a
glass of water.

Streams of blood oozed profusely from my wounds; as I
lay on the road after a
ghastly accident,
The flow however ceased dramatically; after I drenched
my bruise in a glass of
water.

I wrote unrelentingly under the dim light of the bulb;
with my dainty fingers
tiring as a manifestation of the onerous effort,
However my hands were as fit as to decimate a brick
wall; after revitalizing
them with a glass of water.

I lived my life in penurious circumstances; with
meager emoluments of
affluence to my credit,
However to all who visited my dilapidated dwelling; I
never failed to offer a
glass of water; gratifying their thirst; prompting
them to shower blessings on
my impoverished soul.

I commenced my day in brilliant sunlight consuming it
with relish; imparting
radiant tenacity to my silhouette,
Retired for the night uttering a silent thanks to the
creator for all the
goodness he created; admiring the richness embossed in
that innocuous looking
glass of warm water.
