»Until and Unless

 

My eyes incorrigibly refused to move; remaining stubbornly mute for
centuries immemorial,
Until and Unless; the impeccable whites of your enamoring sight;
perpetually
interlocked with their sporadically twinkling shine…

My toes irrevocably refused to transgress a single step; pathetically
freezing like a mountain of treacherously crippled logs,
Until and Unless; the delectable tinkle of your immaculately divine
feet;
perpetually interlocked with their boisterous exuberance….

My lips intransigently refused to smile; resembling the murderously
gory
interiors of corpse; even in their celestial prime,
Until and Unless; the rubicund pink of your innocuously tantalizing
cheeks;
perpetually interlocked with their new found happiness…

My neck dogmatically refused to drift; ludicrously stoning itself like
a
lame pillar; even as the entire beauty of this wonderful planet crept
by,
Until and Unless; the compassionate tenderness down your ravishing
spine;
perpetually interlocked with its euphoria to surge forward in vibrant
life….

My fingers belligerently refused to write; ridiculously retreating into
a
shell of rotting nothingness; even as majestic artistry fulminated in
their
veins,
Until and Unless; the untamed mysticism in your seductive palms;
perpetually
interlocked with their resilience rising above the sky….

My stomach venomously refused to eat; starving itself to unprecedented
limits; even as lecherously sank deeper and deeper into my grave,
Until and Unless; the voluptuous charm of your ambiguously titillating
belly; perpetually interlocked with its uncanny urge to relish the
unknown….

My brain vindictively refused to fantasize; drowning itself into a
blanket
of harrowing sadness; even as the most royal fantasy on this earth
blissfully caressed it from all sides,
Until and Unless; the unfathomably grandiloquent reservoir of your
mind;
perpetually interlocked with its yearning; to blossom into euphoric
radiance….

My breath tumultuously refused to diffuse; strangulating me to a
countless
deaths; inspite of all the oxygen on this planet lingering near my
intricate
nostrils,
Until and Unless; the Omnipotent aura of your mesmerizing countenance;
perpetually interlocked with its ebullient redolence; from all sides….

And my heart vehemently refused to beat; freezing to a pool of frigidly
morbid ice; even as torrential rains of insurmountable passion
descended
down from the sky,
Until and Unless; the profusely poignant palpitations dancing in your
godly
chest; perpetually interlocked with its immortal urge; to disseminate
the
essence of peace; humanity; brotherhood; and symbiotically survive…

»Until you veritably die!

 

You might hide an infinite feet beneath the frostily undulating waves of the ocean; or entirely camouflage every single bone of your shivering silhouette within the untamed wilderness of the tropically unabashed forest,

You might hide in the most infinitesimally blackened corners of ghastly midnight; or seek dastardly refuge behind the bars of the most unassailably diabolical prison,

You might hide fretfully beneath an unsurpassably Herculean mountain of mud; or obfuscate even the tiniest trace of your demeanor from worldly eyes; fearfully crawling into the interiors of the artificially look alike corpse,

You might hide behind the most imperturbably thorny cactuses of the fathomless desert; or impregnate every conceivable pore of your naked skin with the most tenaciously invincible jackets of steel,

You might hide on the most intangibly remotest islands of obsolescence; or keep unrelentingly rolling in acrimoniously sweltering sand; until every part of your nimble body looked no different from those threadbare granules of mud,

You might hide in the most farthermost dungeons of the haplessly extinct mortuary; or try and escape as far as possible from the trajectory of earth; an infinite miles beyond the clouds in the contemporary spacecraft,

You might hide in the most invisibly claustrophobic vents of the miserably deflated gutterpipe; or try and spend the remainder of your life a countless kilometers behind; unconquerably thick walls of snow,

You might hide in the wholesomely flabbergasted horizons of nothingness; or enter your entire form into the body of such a scepter; which could defend you against the most mightiest forces and enemies on earth,

You might hide in the myriad colors of the rainbow praying your very best for the shades to wholesomely overpower you; or live your entire life in deceitful disguise; disdainfully slithering in the squalid swamps alongwith the alligators,

You might hide amidst the already lifeless carcasses of dead men and women; or run faster than the speed of white lightening; to fly to the most safest place on this enigmatic Universe,

You might hide in the tallest grasses which waved their green stalks till eternity; or keep endlessly darting for unconquerable shelter here and there; till the last puff of breath exhausted in your lungs,

You might hide amidst the roots of insuperably century old tree; or cunningly sink beneath innumerable layers of unshakable iron; which could unflinchingly withstand the onslaught of every superpower on planet earth,

You might hide in the most inconsequentially forgotten vents of the oblivious attic; or scream your lungs hoarse for every comprehensible source of help; on this magnetically fructifying planet,

You might hide in the comfortable hollows of the gigantically impenetrable dinosaur’s ear; or bury yourself in dreadful shame under a hillock of fetid feces; of the flaccidly squandering pig,

You might hide in the lap of your perpetually venerated mother; or cry a boundless tears every single minute; asking for more time and space in your life,

You might hide in the most obscured caverns of the demonically echoing well; or hire every single organism on earth to guard you 24 X 7; with the power of your unlimitedly scintillating wealth,

You might hide in the deepest fronds of slippery satin; or abashedly cover every contour of your face and form with the most embellished of veil; just like a newly wedded nubile bride,

You might hide in the mortuaries of hell bribing the sadistically massacring devil for transient refuge; or keep adroitly absconding from place to another; so that not even the most diminutive of your footprints could be irrefutably traced,

And go wherever you desperately wanted to; do whatever you eclectically wanted to; hide as much as you salaciously wanted to; but remember O! impoverished man; that whenever your moment to leave this planet as chosen by the Almighty Lord arrives; death will chase you; strangulate you; completely finish you; irrespective of your caste; creed; status; color or tribe; until the last puff of breath exhausts in your lungs; and until you veritably die…

»Urges

 

As the amber ball of sun peeped from white puffs of
clouds,
weak and languid beams of light caressed the earth,
engulfing pitch dark blackness with faint rays of
dawn,
prompting abrupt closures of artificial light,
there rose sporadic urges in the body to walk past
barriers of sleep.

as the football of blazing light grew colossal in
size,
acrid rays of light fell stringently on the ocean,
heating suspended dust and concrete tower,
illuminating the atmosphere with dazzling sunshine,
there arose thunderous urges in the body to start
work.

as the molten island of fire began sinking behind the
mountain,
faded pink currents of light overpowered the day,
cool waves of air descended down the network of roads,
naturally lit mulitfloor offices transited to murky
grey,
there arose hasty urges in the body to return back to
return to the place of
dwelling.

as the golden web of steam finally disappeared from
boundaries of vision,
overpowering darkness taking a stranglehold on light,
vehicular traffic now between few and sparse on the
carpet of road,
gruesome blackness imprisoning every iota of land and
space,
there arose an universal need in the body to hide
beneath the blanket and
sleep.

»Uttering her name

 

WHEN I BATTERED my fists against the acerbic strips of glass;
infinite pores on my skin started to bleed profusely,
However when I did the same uttering her name;
the glass broke into an ocean of splinters; and my hand escaped
unhurt without a scratch.


When I indignantly stopped my nose from inhaling breath;
I let out marathon gasps after a few seconds,
However when I did the same uttering her name;
I could hold on much longer in my deplorable attempt.


When I inscribed a jugglery of design with a knife on my bare chest;
I felt capsized by tumultuous pain,
However when I attempted doing the same loudly chanting her name;
the anguish seemed to vanish into thin wisps of oblivion.


When I tried masticating metal with my fortress of teeth;
I swooned on the ground unconscious with a cluster of them
strewn beside my scalp,
However when I proceeded to do the same whispering her
mystical name;
the disdainful metal transited to silken honey.


When I tried to pummel the wall boisterously striking my
impetuous knuckles;
my fingers contracted a series of multiple fracture,
However when I did the same uttering her name;
the mighty wall broke and the bricks came tumbling down.


When I clambered the slippery slopes of the treacherous mountain;
I lost my footing midway; hurtling down towards the earth head on,
However when I tried doing the same singing her name;
the mountain summit looked like a piece of cake;
and I conquered the same in flash seconds of time.


When I tried consuming vials of poison; indispensable blood froze
abruptly in my veins;
my silhouette lay numb; with a deathly blue incorporating my body,
However when I drank the same uttering her name;
the venom converted itself into pure milk; and I bounced merrily
with resplendent euphoria.


When I leapt from unprecedented heights of the edifice;
I struck the earth with tremendous velocity; staying in
perpetual coma for days,
However when I committed the same feat uttering her name;
the ground I landed turned itself into spongy Dunlop; and I got
rejuvenated by the through stimulation.

When I walked on blazing fires barefoot;
the inner soles of my feet were rendered maim for the remainder
of my life,
However when I executed the same calling her name;
burning embers of the insidious fire felt like refrigerated ice;
tickling my demeanor extravagantly.


I had lived all my life in blissful contentment;
envisaging the beauty of her mesmerizing fragrance,
And eventually when the time came to depart for my heavenly abode;
I still didn’t feel the pain; as I faintly recited her sacrosanct name

»Vehicular Rubber

 

the inflated swell of vehicular rubber,
with soft rectangular indentations,
help captive in circular hollow of the tyre,
traverses speedily along well binded metallic roads,
crushing dried leaves, trampling unkempt wild weeds,
fixed and stuck to metallic plates,
with radiating spikes, midget spokes of steel,
maneuvering sharply across barren concrete landscape,
with deft strokes to the driving wheel,
firm slanted pressure to the compressible gas pedal,
and coherent articulate movement of the gear shift
machinery,
the tyre treads race through wet mud roads,
leaving behind trails of woven patterns,
resembling dead sticks of unconsumed sugarcane,
a sudden whirring noise encapsulates the atmosphere,
as tonnes of dust blow,
silencing the crux of exuberant activity,
brakes wailing in cacophonic unison,
tyre chunks bleeding against mass of hardened mud,
creating asymmetrical rings of disdainful dust,
the main culprit being,
a cluster of metallic pins, in hot agony,
strewn in savage random proportions,
waiting to trap innocent preys of vehicular rubber,
inserting themselves into thickened rubber flesh,
squeezing out macro plumage of air mass, a
rendering the spongy sheath of solidified rubber,
into distorted piles of mangled junk.

»Utterly helpless

 

The cow; knew that the crow sitting on its back was a
treacherous nuisance; tickling it on umpteenth number
of places; when it actually wanted to blissfully rest,
But in the end she found herself completely helpless;
as no matter how hard she swished her tail; the bird
kept sitting; without incorrigibly budging even an
inch.

The Majestic edifice standing tall on the road; knew
that tremors occurring during the earthquake were
really unwanted,
But in the end it was helpless; as they inevitably
kept coming; and despite the most severest of its
resilience; weakened its foundations beyond safety
limits.

The gargantuan Oak tree; knew that the snakes crawling
on its formidable periphery; disrupted its serenity
and tranquil shade,
But in the end it was miserably helpless; for as the
years unveiled its crevices grew; and the hooded
monsters kept proliferating in dozens; although it
tried its best to kill them with its juice.

The ocean sprawled over a billion kilometers of
territory; knew that the choppy waves rising high;
broke its mystical spell and dreams,
But in the end it was completely helpless; as the
harder it tried the more the waters swirled; and a
tumultuous storm enveloped the entire surface; causing
the froth erupt towards the sky.

The granules of earth sprinkled all around; knew that
ploughing them would give them agony; massacre their
virginity beyond their capacity to redeem,
But in the end they found themselves disastrously
helpless; as man kept digging them with greed in his
eyes; till the time he struck pitchers of glittering
gold.

The hot cakes sizzling on the grills; knew that the
bees hovering around would painstakingly devour their
sweetness; render their sponginess with innumerable
number of holes,
But in the end they were helpless; as try as hard as
they could; the flies kept buzzing feasting on their
appetizing surface; till the time they satisfied their
gluttony.

The tongue suspended in chamber of the mouth; knew
that its demeanor would be reduced to rotten garbage;
the instant it blurted out abuses,
But in the end it was totally helpless; as even after
resolving in the name of Almighty lord; it exhaled out
the most abashing of bad words; when provoked by the
passing pedestrian.

The clusters of blossoming rose; knew that the
parasites clambering up their stalk would render them
fragile and lifeless,
But in the end they were wholesomely helpless; as the
more they tried to defend themselves with their sparse
thorns; the more the army of leeches enjoyed in
sucking them to emptiness.

And I as a poet; knew that working in office with a
monotonous bunch of morons; would vanquish all my
creativity; annihilate the passionate fantasy
revolving in my mind from its very roots,
But in the end; I found myself stumbling at every
instant of life and utterly helpless; as; If I wanted
to survive in this uncouth society; I had to
substitute fantasy with bulky checkbooks; chop my
dreams in entirety with the sword of commercialism; in
order to feed me and my wife with sumptuous food; rise
with her early at dawn; to confront a new tomorrow.

»Veritable death mine

 

My mind was like the fulminating volcano; which kept
on passionately erupting; even after the entire earth
had blissfully slept,

My mind was like an uninhibitedly philandering
panther; which thunderously roared each unfurling
second of the day,

My mind was like a turbulently swirling ocean; which
culminated each instant into a flurry of violent
waves,

My mind was like the poignant whirlpool of sand; which
evolved at cyclonic speeds; sweeping across the
fathomless deserts inevitably every afternoon,

My mind was like the blazing inferno; which kept
augmenting to astronomical heights with each nimble
stroke of the brazen wind,

My mind was like the hideously savage vulture; whose
hunger arose the very next moment; after it had just
devoured its previous bit of robust carrion,

My mind was like the indefatigably running spider;
which didn’t rest for even a minuscule minute;
entrenched and wavering amidst the silvery strands of
its web,

My mind was like streaks of white lightening which
profusely enveloped the sky; creating insanely havoc
on the whatever space they fell,

My mind was like infinite clouds sprawled vindictively
in the cosmos; creeping up every day to try and
camouflage vivacious rays of brilliant light,
My mind was like the unstoppably perennial stream;
which leapt and swelled; irrespective of the
acrimonious battalion of barricades that confronted it
in its celestial way,

My mind was like the plane which inexorably kept
flying all its life; without stooping down a fraction;
or caressing the tarmac with its spongy sheath of
wheels,

My mind was like the mystical echo which reverberated
countless number of times; after ephemerally clashing
against the formidably boundless valley,

My mind was like the lethally bouncing striped shark;
which unrelentingly surged forward with hostile
euphoria even in the middle of the perilously gloomy
night,

My mind was like the centuries old grandfather clock;
which continued to tirelessly tick; irrespective of
the most deadliest of holocaust or rain,

My mind was like the deafening thud of the dinosaurs
foot; which kept going on and on for times immemorial;
even after the monster had become remotely obsolete
and wholesomely extinct,

My mind was like the globules golden sweat; which kept
incorrigibly trickling down the arms; even after
applying the most profound balm of stupendously
redolent scent,

My mind was like the unfathomably deep well; which
indeed did have an opening; but there simply seemed no
end,

My mind was like the tangible population; which
perpetually kept increasing as each second unveiled
into a full fledged minute
In the end it is my humble plea to you; O! Almighty
Creator; not to give people a mind like mine; for
although I had developed an intrinsic bondage with its
vagaries over a period of time; for others it could
very well prove to a veritable death mine….

»Violence

 

Horrendously weird was not the term to describe it;
speak about it even an inconspicuous trifle,

Satanically ghastly was not the image that befitted
it; able to perceive it in the most faintest of its
form,

Barbarically Murderous was not the expletive adept for
it; hardly able to portray an evanescent glimpse of
its worthless virtue,

Uncouthly indiscriminate was not the way it could be
explicitly explained; discussed about even in the most
ephemeral of perception prevailing and possible,

Intolerably repulsive was not the adjective that
highlighted it; miserably floundering to envelop it
even in its most obscurest of its treacherous shadows,

Diabolically stinking was not the odor that wafted
from it; proving insurmountably miserly in front of
its savage grace,

Overwhelmingly corpse like was not the depth to assign
it; proving more diminutive than a mosquito in front
of its fathomless valley inundated with bloody sins,

Repugnantly cacophonic was not the sound which
diffused from it; got completely overshadowed when you
witnessed its vindictively threatening caricature,

Utterly penurious was not the acronym fit to depict
its wealth; stumbled unrelentingly when compared with
its abysmally hollow ocean of brittle pearls,

Pathetically cowardly was not the attribute to
christen it with; as its tales of merciless barbarism
had gruesomely assassinated many a divinely smile,
Feverishly distorted was not the synonym to address
it; as it was the most hideously nefarious thing that
could ever have existed on this Universe,

Acrimoniously thorny was the shape to describe it; as
it fell deafeningly down in it own eyes; every time it
tried to hoist up from hard ground,

Brutally ill willed was not the emotion to annotate
it; as it lived the entire quota of its baseless life
in realms of deplorably diminishing hell,

Gloomily morbid was not the quality it harnessed; as
it dug its own graveyard on every lane it
transgressed,

Hopelessly frustrated was not the idea it harbored; as
it oozed more tears than the whole planet weeping at a
single time together,

Menacingly cruel was not the wave it spread; as it
salaciously charred all who came in its swirl; into
threadbare granules of black ash,

Inexorably blood thirsty was not the accolade it
deserved; as it spread rivers deluged with innocuous
blood across every territory of this boundlessly
colossal Universe,

And the most 'Abhorrently hated of all' was a phrase
still too less for it to be named with; as it was a
jargon which every dictionary on this soil would
gladly have liked to terminate,

O! yes the devil I am talking about; has made us kill
each other like animals in our very own homes; has
made us an imprisoned slave in God's most sacred
paradise; has made us breathe hostile fire from our
nostrils instead of blissful breath,
And even before I eventually tell you the word; I
fervently wish from my heart that all of you forget
it; for after all it’s the worst word of all words;
infact a small figment of your own stupid creation
called VIOLENCE…..

»Victory shall forever be

 

Every maelstrom of unendingly truculent misery was
whiplashed upon you by the hedonistic devil; as he
salaciously marauded with his fingers soaked in
innocent blood,
God was irrefutably a beam of Omnipotent
righteousness; who not only blessed you with the
insurmountable power to conquer all evil; but created
infinite more of your kind; tirelessly every unfurling
minute of the night and day,
Giving supreme liberty to the devil to do whatever he
could; in whatever form he could; but in the end he
would be pathetically decimated to inconspicuous ash;
and victory shall forever be of unassailably majestic
truth….

Every corpse of ghoulishly ungainly torture and
invidiousness was thrusted upon you by the parasitic
devil; as he indiscriminately trampled left; right and
center; with brutally lascivious hunger lingering in
his eyes,
God was irrefutably a Sun of unconquerably princely
hope; who not only blessed you with the unsurpassable
power to behead all evil; but created infinite more of
your kind; tirelessly every unfurling minute of the
night and day,
Giving uninhibited liberty to the devil to do whatever
he could; in whatever form he could; but in the end he
would be transformed into wisps of insipid
nothingness; and victory shall forever be of
invincibly glorious truth….

Every spirit of cadaverous desperation and malice was
jinxed upon you by the savage devil; as he unsparingly
plodded forward to devour all organisms alive,
God was irrefutably the sky of fathomless beauty and
ingratiating enchantment; who not only blessed you
with the unflinching power to vanquish all evil; but
created infinite more of your kind; tirelessly every
unfurling minute of the night and day,
Giving unrestricted liberty to the devil to do
whatever he could; in whatever form he could; but in
the end he would crumble into disdainful oblivion; and
victory shall forever be of altruistically patriotic
truth….

Every hell of preposterously raunchy sin and bawdiness
was thrashed upon you by the hideous devil; as he
dogmatically barked the tunes of abhorrently
despicable lies,
God was irrefutably a religion of symbiotically
Omnipresent mankind; who not only blessed you with the
peerless power to destroy all evil; but created
infinite more of your kind; tirelessly every unfurling
minute of the night and day,
Giving unparalleled liberty to the devil to do
whatever he could; in whatever form he could; but in
the end he would wholesomely reduce into graveyards of
parsimonious nothingness; and victory shall forever be
of pristinely unblemished truth…

Every whirlwind of indescribably penalizing lechery
and sodomizing torment was slapped upon you by the
devastating devil; as he insanely burnt till the last
bone of his spine in the coffins of unrelenting
hatred,
God was irrefutably an Omniscient harbinger of
everlasting peace; who not only blessed you with
inimitable fortitude to blow away all evil; but
created infinite more of your kind; tirelessly every
unfurling minute of the night and day,
Giving undaunted liberty to the devil to do whatever
he could; in whatever form he could; but in the end he
would be charred to inconsequential ash; and victory
shall forever be of gloriously immortal truth….


Every speck of acrimoniously cancerous and destructive
disease was stabbed upon you by the incarcerating
devil; as he intransigently sulked in the gallows of
coldbloodedly rotten death,
God was irrefutably the priceless cosmos of
perpetually royal fructification; who not only blessed
you with the unchallengeable prowess to massacre all
evil; but created infinite more of your kind;
tirelessly every unfurling minute of the night and
day,
Giving unstoppable liberty to the devil to do whatever
he could; in whatever form he could; but in the end he
would dissolve into the dustbins of extinction; and
victory shall forever be of blazingly impeccable
truth…

Every trace of orphaned wailing and hapless loneliness
was tainted upon you by the ignominious devil; as he
exhaled scorpions of remorseful prejudice even in deep
sleep,
God was irrefutably a timelessly vivacious rainbow of
desire and fearless hope; who not only blessed you
with the insuperable ardor to finish all evil; but
created infinite more of your kind every unfurling
minute of the night and day,
Giving uncontrollable liberty to the devil to do
whatever he could; in whatever form he could; but in
the end he would lose every element of his existence;
and victory shall forever be of immaculately bountiful
truth….

»Voices

 

When i tried to masquerade in the voice of a woman,
tuned decibels of my voice to effeminately soft
frequency,
trying to whisper like a dainty maiden boisterous in
youth,
the result was abashingly bad, as all i ended up doing
,
was like a eunuch wailing his woes on the vacant
street.


when i tried to emulate the voice of humming bird,
attempting to chirp with emphatic authority,
mesmerizing arid patches of air with placid tunes,
drowning a majority of animals in spells of my
infectious sound,
all i ended up doing was sputter like a parrot
replicating its masters voice.


when i tried to duplicate the voice of a dog,
growling fiercely with spurts of tenacity and vigour,
snaring my teeth as if thoroughly infuriated,
the actual monsters on the street stared at me
ambiguous suspicion,
smelt intricate parts of my body, discarding me as an
outcast from their
community.


eventually when i discovered my own tongue to speak,
the effect of my sonorous voice was stupendously
enchanting,
it easily surpassed the effects of all voices i tried
to imitate,
thus teaching me a lesson to speak in the dialect and
sound i naturally
possessed,
the voice that was 100% mine.
