»Such was the power of Immortal Love

 

It made you uninhibitedly laugh; triggering you to
escalate perennially above a land of unparalleled
happiness,

It made you turbulently cry; candidly divulging the
inner most voices of your soul; in each iota of
ebullient atmosphere around,

It made you melodiously sing; emanate the most
harmonious tunes from your despairing throat; although
you miserably stuttered to spell your very own name,

It made you bounce rhapsodically on mists of
enchanting paradise; till the last droplet of blood in
your veins compassionately flowed,

O! yes such was the power of immortal love; that it
made you feel the richest entity alive; perpetually
bonding your immaculate spirit with angels above the
divine….



It made you wholeheartedly embrace; shrugging all your
abominable apprehensions; despicably discriminating
united humanity,

It made you bask in the glory of unrelentingly untamed
fantasy; surreally floating in a magical entrenchment
of everlasting excitement,

It made you stand like an impregnable fortress;
weather the most acrimonious of storm with
astronomical fire blazing in your eyes,

It made you philander like an innocent child;
exploring and blossoming into exhilarating newness; as
each instant unveiled philosophically outside,

O! yes such was the power of immortal love; that it
made you feel like an embellished prince; perpetually
bathing in the scent of voluptuous lotus; on cloud
nine…



It made you believe in yourself; reaffirming your
faith in every sect of wonderful human kind,

It made you break the estranged monotony of your
bedraggled life; reminisce in the enthrallment of all
those beautiful moments that you had encountered in
adventurous life,

It made you soar like a majestic eagle through the
fathomless expanse of exuberant sky; even as you made
the most nimblest of effort to walk,

It made you successful in whatever philanthropic you
undertook; enveloping your drearily diminishing
persona; with tornado’s of unsurpassable delight,

O! yes such was the power of immortal love; that not
only did it make each moment of your present life a
veritable paradise; but granted you the unconquerable
tenacity to exist for an infinite more lifetimes…



It made you attempt the unbelievably alluring; yet
emerge out triumphant without a scar to your robust
smiles,

It made you tirelessly dream; perceiving and evolving
the most wonderfully mesmerizing feelings; lingering
bountifully on the trajectory of this colossal planet,

It made you benevolently empathize for your fellow
comrades in inexplicable agony; treat every element of
their pain as your very own,

It made you desire beyond the realms of pragmatically
conventional imagination; incinerating whirlpools of
passionate electricity in each of your indolently
dormant veins,

O! yes such was the power of immortal love; that it
blessed you with the most blissful characteristics to
be alive; took you the closet to your ultimate mission
in life and Almighty Lord; alike…

»Suddenly

 

Suddenly my lips blossomed into a celestial smile;
overshadowing all the bizarre apprehensions that I was
confronted with; just few seconds ago,

Suddenly my eyes blended with an unfathomable fountain
of dreams; relinquish every iota of gruesome blindness
that had uncouthly besieged me since years,

Suddenly my hair stood up in ecstatic exhilaration;
almost uprooting the scalp as they danced the dance of
their lives; without a trace of diminutive wind,

Suddenly my blood galloped like infinite tornado’s
through my veins; massacring all signs of devastating
disease that had so irrevocably enveloped each of my
senses,

Suddenly my palms started to indefatigably clap;
rising with the profoundly exuberant breeze; in their
perennial desire to kiss the mystical cocoon of
glorious clouds,

Suddenly my teeth commenced to relentlessly chatter;
and my throat sung the most fabulous song of its
enslaved life,

Suddenly my ears erupted out of their spell of
hopeless deafness; compassionately drifted to even the
most infinitesimally exotic sound lingering around,

Suddenly my stomach reverberated with insatiable pangs
of hunger; resolving to remain famished till eternity;
even though I consumed the most appetizing morsels of
food on this planet,

Suddenly my shadow fluttered in ebullient
enthrallment; surreally stretching its realms; beyond
the land of seductively gyrating fairies,

Suddenly my fingers united to write boundless lines of
poetry; sketching the fathomlessly mesmerizing
contours of the enigmatic gorge; even though they were
brutally paralyzed,

Suddenly my neck enchantingly wandered in all
directions; frantically searching for that slim ray of
unparalleled excitement,

Suddenly my feet intransigently galloped through the
romantically bountiful meadows; diffusing
incomprehensible spurts of enthusiastic energy; on
every step they tread,

Suddenly my cheeks blushed astoundingly to a volatile
crimson; inevitably attracting even the most insipid
of dead grass blades; in their splendidly rubicund
swirl,

Suddenly my skin developed countless royal
goose-bumps; tantalizingly experiencing and basking in
the glory; of magnificently vacillating weather,

Suddenly my pulse raced like a star shooting
majestically from gregarious sky; even though I sat
cross-legged; in the sullen heart of my ghastly
corpse,

Suddenly my mind fantasized above the corridors of the
incredulously extraordinary; perceiving the most
mystically grandiloquent forms of this Universe; even
when despondently enshrouded with treacherously deadly
tumor,

Suddenly my soul united with the Omnipresently divine;
and I felt that I had attained godly heaven; for
fathomless more births of mine,

Suddenly I felt my heart throb passionately for all
that was philanthropically beautiful on this earth;
immortally bonding its beats with the ultimate soul
mate of its dreams,

And suddenly I fell in love even before I could shrug
the dreariness of the previous night; perpetually
embracing the beloved who added optimistic dimensions
to my impoverished life; more importantly the girl who
made me feel alive beyond my destined time….

»Suddenly Metamorphosed

 

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; they might otherwise seem like frigidly
decrepit
chunks of unsolicited manure; but when it came to sequestering you from
the
clutches of the salaciously marauding devil; my hands suddenly
metamorphosed
into the most invincibly unshakable power on this fathomless Universe,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; they might otherwise seem like
parsimoniously
squashed and squalid contours of the pig-stalk; but when it came to
enlightening you from the aisles of inexplicable morbidity; my lips
suddenly
metamorphosed into the most redolently Omnipotent smile on this
boundless
Universe,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; they might otherwise seem like hopelessly
crumbling matchsticks of scurrilous disdain; but when it came to
peeling
every layer of sugarcane skin for you; my teeth suddenly metamorphosed
into
a fortress of unbreakably fantastic temerity,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; they might otherwise seem like haplessly
cancerous parasites egregiously fretting even in the most brilliant of
sunlight; but when it came to compassionately carrying you to your
destination; my shoulders suddenly metamorphosed into a rock of
unflinchingly Herculean solidarity,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; they might otherwise seem like
inconspicuously
mortified ants; but when it came to indefatigably galloping to quench
your
every dream; my feet suddenly metamorphosed into a dynamite of
endlessly
springing freshness,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; they might otherwise seem like lugubriously
extinguishing horizons; but when it came to searching you in the most
blackened of night; my eyes suddenly metamorphosed into a Sun of
unceasingly
triumphant light,
Don’t you worry O! Beloved; they might otherwise seem like lifeless
twigs of
dangling uncertainty; but when it came to sketching your benign
silhouette;
my fingers suddenly metamorphosed into the most artistically bounteous
paradise of panoramic beauty,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; they might otherwise seem like a
pertinently
evanescent mosquito fluttering every now and again; but when it came to
uninhibitedly cavorting with you behind the pristinely rain soaked
hills; my
eyelashes suddenly metamorphosed into an undefeatable sky of blissful
mischief,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; it might otherwise seem like an apocalypse
of
wanton dumbness; but when it came to singing in your divinely praise;
my
throat suddenly metamorphosed into a heaven of sensuously mellifluous
nightingales,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; they might otherwise seem like a corpse of
meaninglessly indolent sleep; but when it came to impregnably
safeguarding
you while you celestially slept; my eyelids suddenly metamorphosed into
a
volcano of insuperable alacrity,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; it might otherwise seem like a penuriously
pulverized ladder of nothingness; but when it came to uprooting even
the
most infinitesimal trace of evil surrounding you; my spine suddenly
metamorphosed into an unassailably majestic cosmos of intrepid
strength,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; it might otherwise seem like a desperately
flailing flea of bizarre emptiness; but when it came to tranquilly
caressing
every pore of your estranged persona in the acrimoniously unsparing
mid-day
Sun; my shadow suddenly metamorphosed into a cistern of magnificently
bountiful harmony,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; they might otherwise seem like flaccidly
flagrant caterpillars loathing towards fulsome extinction; but when it
came
to wounding any organism who dared to diabolically tease you; my nails
suddenly metamorphosed into the sharpest sword of vindication on this
eternal Universe,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; they might otherwise seem like a desolately
slavering stream of balderdash jelly; but when it came to withstanding
any
warrior on earth who tried to ruthlessly snatch you; my bones suddenly
metamorphosed into wall of unbreakably peerless determination,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; it might otherwise seem like lividly
colorless
and cadaverously cursing saliva; but when it came to coalescing every
ingredient of your life with the religion of humanity; my blood
suddenly
metamorphosed into a heaven of eternally interminable oneness,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; it might otherwise seem like a non-existent
gutter of derogatory raunchiness; but when it came to disseminating
your
voice of everlasting truth to the farthest quarter of this planet; my
conscience suddenly metamorphosed into an unstoppable fire of royal
righteousness,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; they might otherwise seem like languidly
senseless cockroaches extruding from my diminutive scalp; but when it
came
to tantalizing every pore of your remorsefully depressed skin; my hair
suddenly metamorphosed into a cascade of timelessly silken
togetherness,

Don’t you worry O! Beloved; it might otherwise seem like a pugnaciously
massacring mirage of death; but when it came to miraculously
resuscitating
your lifeless form; my breath suddenly metamorphosed into an
Omnipresently
effulgent caravan of sparkling life,

And don’t you worry O! Beloved; they might otherwise seem infidel
palpitations of dismally deteriorating oblivion; but when it came to
inimitably inundating every aspect of your life with Immortal
friendship; my
heartbeats suddenly metamorphosed into the Creator of Omniscient love…

»Sun God

 

SOME CALLED IT a blazing volcano; sizzling every nook and cranny of the earth with its fiery rays,

Some called it fulminating lava erupting at swashbuckling speeds; charring everything that came its way into infinitesimal bits of invisible ash,

Some called it an ocean of swirling fire; with its omnipotent power to penetrate trough the most gruesome of prevailing darkness,

Some called it a majestic lion fully charged up; roaring indefatigably till everything around it was in blissful calm,

Some called it a vivacious and golden crystal of smothering coal; able to cure even the most inexplicable of disease loitering on this earth,

Some called it a flaming and a supremely transparent mirror; having the incredible power of gobbling all other shadows on this planet except its own,

Some called it a battlefield of the highest degree; simply invincible to defeat; even by the most valiant battalion of soldiers,

Some called it an angry cloud that never rained; evaporating every trace of evil from the gloomy trajectory of ground,

Some called it an amber bowl of boiling honey; causing even the most impregnable of entity staring into it to inevitably wink,

Some called it a cascading waterfall of blistering energy; taking the demon by tumultuous force in its impetuous wrath,
Some called it an inland of unprecedented courage; impregnating even the weakest body standing beneath it; with daunting strength and fortitude,

Some called it the King of all eggs always shining; fomenting boundless number of mammalian eggs to hatch into innocuous fledglings; providing them with the most conducive quantity of heat,

Some called it a dazzling fountain of bubbling acid; which left no scope at all for misery; till the time it grandiloquently glowed all day,

Some called it the most unadulterated body ever created; with every soul on this globe; unanimously revering it for the irrefutable sanctity it possessed,

Some called it a flamboyantly shimmering spoon; which looked after each and every object breathing; saw to it that everyone was sumptuously fed,

Some called it a scintillating sword; having the prowess to wholesomely annihilate the one it wanted with its marvelously gleaming edge,

Some called it the ultimate savior in times of unwarranted distress; igniting rays of hope with its omnipresent light,

Some called it an immeasurable diamond; with its unsurpassable depth; defeating the worst of chilly night,

Different people living in different tribes christened it by countless names and opinions; absolutely astounded by the strength of its unconquerable beams,

But I will always call and worship it as my undefeated God; my loving and immortally adorable sun god…

»Sun Temple

 

The atmosphere was enveloped with raspberry essence,
octagon pillars held the vast expanse of egg shaped
roof,
mystical scriptures were engraved on stone,
the floor was strewn with century old clay,
the exquisite elevation was an architectural treat,
a trio of saffron flags blew on towering roof,
tubular well was 1000 feet deep in belly of earth,
the dungeons contained armoury of knife, and gleaming
sword,
the idol of sun god hissed fire,
the sacrificial altar, was smeared with holy ash,
metal boards showcased clippings of war,
melodious sounds, a ramification of,
brass tongues striking golden bodied bell,
blistering sunshine baked the structure in day,
effeminate light of the moon embraced it all
night,
ivory tusks projected from stuffed elephants in crimson
grey,
ornamental doors were embroidered with brass,
a grisly haired guide, held bulky manuscripts,
entertained hordes of visitors, fleet of school
children,
with nostalgic memories of the golden era,
in which were built the fiery walls of the 'GOLDEN SUN
TEMPLE''.

»Sunday

 

IT CAME AFTER 6 days of grueling work,
6 days of assiduous effort under the scorching ball of
sun,
6 days of unrelenting tasks executed at electric pace,
6 days of insufficient meals blended with stingy
amounts of obnoxious coffee,
6 days of absolution from amicable domains of family,
6 days of sedulous expeditions in packed to capacity
commuter trains,
6 days of deprivation from a ravishing game of long
tennis,
6 days of obliteration from revitalizing spray of the
ocean,
6 days of conscious efforts to wear feckless and
spurious smiles,
6 days of wandering in a claustrophobic ambience of
lackluster paper,
6 days of monotonous salute to the disillusioning
supremo,
6 days of dedicated projects; with eyes incorrigibly
glued to the computer,
6 days of incessant perspiration dribbling down crisp
shirt,
6 days of onerous struggle to compete with
intellectuals,
6 days of nostalgia for peace; weighing heavily on
mind,
6 days of obstreperous noise piercing through soft
ear,
6 days of aching feet; with spasmodically restless
back,
6 days of impatient sigh's and a perpetual longing for
melodious sleep.


The seventh day finally did arrive,
I drew back multiple blinds in my apartment house,
to let sizzling rays of dawn fumigate my persona,
slept late in the morning; oblivious to hassles of
mundane work,
consumed barrels of enticing beer; nibbling fresh nut
on the silver sands of
the beach,
languidly strolled a few miles with the pungent spray
of the water,
stimulating my dreary eyes; as i candidly prayed to the
creator,
to bless me and my family with bountiful more Sunday's.

»Sunrise to Sunset

 

As much as its dazzling rays of light stupendously
astonished me; I was in profound admiration of it
slipping gently down the ethereal horizons,

As much as its fiery inferno of unstoppable radiance
brilliantly illuminated every part of me; I was in
profound admiration of its majestically changing
color; as the hours crept by,

As much as its blazing shades veritably catapulted
towards the ultimate zenith of paradise; I was in
profound admiration of it fluttering nervously as
winds of evening inevitably took over their toll,

As much as its ocean of tantalizingly sizzling
brightness mystically spell bounded me; I was in
profound admiration of it winking flirtatiously from
amidst the clouds; as nightfall was about to descend
by,

As much as its golden aura of supreme Omnipotence
enshrouded each of my impoverished senses; I was in
profound admiration of it dancing in timid submission;
after its spell of the dazzling morning came to an
end,

As much as its Omnipresent charisma enthralled me
beyond the realms of pragmatic control; I was in
profound admiration of its ravishingly fading persona;
as inexplicably enigmatic shadows descended by,

As much as its poignantly scarlet countenance caressed
me from all ends; I was in profound admiration of it
sleeping like an angel; all throughout the domains of
the seductively exotic night,

As much as its vibrantly dancing flames stupefied me
into meek submission towards the ground; I was in
profound admiration of its nimble acceptance of
transient blackness; before it could once again and
roaringly shine,

As much as its Omniscient glow mesmerized me beyond
the boundaries of enamoring paradise; I was in
profound admiration of its drastically fading
complexion as it bid the earth an ephemeral goodbye,

As much as its incomprehensibly invincible tenacity
left me searching for breath; I was in profound
admiration of its gorgeously new born pink; as
resplendence stars transcended the sky,

As much as its sacrosanct aura enthralled me into
ebulliently soaring euphoria; I was in profound
admiration of its charmingly flickering rays;
eventually dissolving into short lived darkness,

As much as its trail of flamboyant fire incredulously
made me its humble slave; I was in profound admiration
of its blissfully melodious harmony as the hours
gradually cascaded by,

As much as its profusely majestic shimmer engendered
me to convolute into clouds of unparalleled ecstasy; I
was in profound admiration of its sedately contented
visage; as it settled to relish the breeze of the
star- studded midnight,

As much as its irrefutably princely demeanor made me
gasp in stunned and utter disbelief; I was in profound
admiration of its handsomely extinguishing light; as
it immortally resolved to rise once again,

As much as its unequivocal grandiloquence granted me
the tenacity to lead a countless more lives; I was in
profound admiration of its amber mellow; as it shrunk
serenely behind the poignant hills,

As much as its ingratiatingly captivating beams
seduced me into a web of overwhelming mysticism; I was
in profound admiration of its rhapsodic enthrallment;
as it coalesced wholesomely with the undulating sea,

As much as its tumultuously compassionate aura
pacified all my traumatically agonized apprehensions
in life; I was in profound admiration of its divinely
silent withdrawal from the cosmos; as the onset of
every dusk,

As much as its insurmountably flaming aura ignited
fireballs of untamed passion in my every dreary night;
I was in profound admiration of its nascently slim
horizons; as it took the plunge into oblivion for some
hours,

As much as its remarkably stringent rays fumigated
each iota of my despondently dreary countenance; I was
in profound admiration of its marvelous obeisance;
dissipating into a festoon of gorgeous empathy; as it
gave way to the Moon,

And as much as its brilliantly fresh rays made me
salute it till countless births of mine; as immortal
SUNRISE; I was in profound admiration of it melanging
gloriously with the tepid horizons; settling deep
within my heart and soul as fantastic SUNSET…

»Supremely Immortal

 

The scarlet rose was mortal; but its alluring essence
that lingered for centuries unprecedented in the
dreary atmosphere; was supremely immortal,

The blue crested nightingale was mortal; but its
enchanting sound diffusing rhapsodic melody in every
corner of the fathomless Universe; was supremely
immortal,

The dark dotted tiger was mortal; but its thunderously
deafening roar that instilled a wave of inexplicable
terror in infants even before they were born; was
supremely immortal,

The consortium of ominously dark clouds was mortal;
but the mesmerizing beauty and flamboyant grace which
they imparted to the firmament of azure sky; was
supremely immortal,

The marble shaped eye was mortal; but the marvelously
magnificent picture of the world which it provided to
the impoverished persona; was supremely immortal,

The battalion of resplendent stars twinkling in the
cosmos were mortal; but the tenacious illumination
which they conjured up every single night; was
supremely immortal,

The feather tipped fountain pen was mortal; but the
infinite lines of inspiration it had embodied for the
entire planet to enjoy and imbibe; was supremely
immortal,

The innovative Scientist was mortal; but his ensemble
of ingenious inventions which metamorphosed the
complexion of this world; were supremely immortal,

The contemporarily sleazy watch was mortal; but the
time that ticked over; prevailed profoundly ever since
the very instant this earth was created; was supremely
immortal,

The ardent philosopher was mortal; but his scores of
unequivocally philanthropic ideals casting a spell on
tangible life for decades immemorial; were supremely
immortal,

The furtively deceptive mirage was mortal; but the
sprawling blanket of scorchingly flaming desert sands;
was supremely immortal,

The incident which happened faster than the speed of
white light was mortal; but the piquant memories it
left behind; besieging the mind in wholesome entirety;
was supremely immortal,

The festoon of diamonds was mortal; but the
incorrigibly fervent glow that it radiated; coining
irrefutable benchmarks in fragile personalities; was
supremely immortal,

The solitarily deserted monsoon pond was mortal; but
the verdant vegetation it left behind; which kept
proliferating at amazing speeds into infinite more of
its kind; was supremely immortal,

The speed of thought was mortal; but the ecstatic
whirlpool of exhilaration it generated; was supremely
immortal,

The compassionately amicable smile was mortal; but the
feeling of good will which it perpetuated worldwide;
was supremely immortal,
The activity of mischievous flirtation was mortal; but
the eternal love it blissfully culminated into was;
supremely immortal,

And the body was mortal; someday found itself
inevitably beneath the morbid grave; but the spirit of
the perpetual soul it left behind; was supremely
immortal…

»Sweat

 

Slender slices of steel acquired the complexion of
molten curry,
when amber flames of the fire licked their persona
with savage heat.

infinite blades of lush green grass were camouflaged
in dew drops,
after blissful long spells of winter night sleep.

brutally scorched skin of desert camel oozed droplets
of water,
when struck by incessant heat reigning with immense
fervour in all quarters.

ornate petals of the red daisy produced nectar in
abundance,
after hosting a cluster of humming bees having fertile
sacs of golden honey.

concrete walls embodied with red brick displayed slimy
coats of moisture,
after brand new strokes of ravishing wall paint.

the ergonomically sculptured car seat felt amazingly
humid,
after i inhabited it, sank on it relishing my posture,
for unsurpassable lengths of time.

the surface of earth vomited Herculean amounts of
sizzling lava,
imprisoned within its innermost core for decades in
strangulation.

colossal masses of rich black clouds excreted gallons
of water,
when hovering in close proximity with the green
periphery of earth.

wild branches of the raspberry tree expurgated fat
globules of bitter milk,
as i adroitly ripped their skins with my fingernails.

my body perspired like hell when thoroughly exposed to
currents of warm
sunshine,
as blistering waves of heat sapped reserve quota's of
energy,
sweating like an untamed pig all along the sultry
ambience of pitch dark
night.

»Sweet Alarm Clock

 

I marched rambunctiously up the steps to my office;
greeted my boss before anybody else could with a
profoundly amicable smile,
While he slept lazily on his cozy bed; even well past
brilliant afternoon.

I got ready for the high priority business meeting;
sat in synchronized harmony beside the delegate
adorned in an expensively embellished suit; with my
pulse nearly racing out of my heart,
While he nimbly turned his back from one side to
another; inadvertently shrugged at the flies hovering
pertinently round his cheek.

I bounced boisterously on the vacant streets at the
crack of glistening dawn; relentlessly admiring the
Sun as it shone to its most overwhelming radiance,
While he drew the quilt even more tenaciously over his
head; shielding his eyes even from the tiniest trace
of white light.

I jogged fervently through the verdant lawns; with
ravishing grass incessantly tickling my dreary feet;
letting infinite globules of golden perspiration
dribble down my arms,
While he emanated a volley of thunderous snores;
inundating the blissful atmosphere around with his
disdainfully pugnacious sound.

I dug gargantuan chunks of fresh soil with my hands as
hostile rays of afternoon filtered through my hazel
eyes; sowed a cluster of salubrious seed in every
visible quarter of fecund land,
While he dozed like the most treacherous demon on this
planet; sleeping invincibly with his bohemian feet
pointing towards the garland of resplendent stars.

I executed each of my task meticulously as the clock
indefatigably ticked; harmoniously carrying out all my
duties of the day without the slightest of
circumspection or bewilderment,
While he sucked his big thumb worse than a small baby;
with a mountain of silken pillow profusely enveloping
his scalp.

I leapt in ecstatic jubilation in torrential sheets of
voluptuous rain; splashing my entire persona in the
freshly sparkling stream of seductive water,
While he mumbled incoherent words in his divinely
reverie; refrained to budge an inch; even as a
battalion of red cockroach crawled in his limp ear.

I immensely relished each shade of the day;
flamboyantly marched past the serene seaside; with the
congenial evening breeze kissing fabulously across my
chest,
While he didn’t even know the world in which he was
living; whether it was stringent morning outside or
ghastly night.

I reaped the most blissful of merits in life;
optimizing each opportunity that came my way; climbing
the ladders to unprecedented success and irrefutable
prosperity,
While he poked his tongue out a trifle; slavered
pathetically at the mouth; let the parasites around
suck his morbid blood without being perturbed one bit.

And the only difference between me and him was; that I
woke up with a jolted start every morning; as my sweet
alarm clock whipped the last ounce of my sleep with
its deafening noise,
While he was left miserably asleep and doped till well
past after midnight; till when infact I had
victoriously completed my full quota of days; my
complete quota of enchanting nights…
