»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…

»Sweet Water Coconut

THE SUN BLAZES in full radiance,
the mercury soars to kingly proportions,
as sheets of dust blow in turbulence,
the parched tarmac bellows hysterically,
trees shriek in disbelief,
vulcanized rubber groans in despair,
as the sandstorm vocalizes its arrival.

Every eyeball gets averted,
to the green tripod of cool water,
stacked in gay abundance on thick jute sacks,
hailing from tall timber with slender branches,
deriving its nutrition from the pure wet sand,
christening it as the darling of all lands.

Colossal crowds flock the asphalt,
drifted by thirst and scorched excitement,
with sweaty palms, icy bandannas,
awaiting encounter with the hard green shell,
fingers clinging currency notes,
the queue shifts at a meandering pace,
as I finally get my chance,
to savor the natural taste in a coconut.

»Sweet Success

There were no surreptitious secrets to achieve it;
bask in its gloriously scintillating laurels for centuries immemorial,

There were no clandestine shortcuts to catapult to it;
shimmer in its unparalleled cynosure;
like no other entity on this astronomically colossal Universe,

There were no easy rides to gallop towards it;
unequivocally embellish it in your forehead;
for countless more births of yours yet to unveil,

There were no magical mantras to wholesomely assimilate it;
irrefutably ensure that it was solely yours;
from amongst infinite more on this unendingly gargantuan planet,

There were no incoherent insinuations to perpetually incarcerate it;
perennially ensure that it didn’t budge even an inconspicuous inch from your invincible custody,

There were no ominously nefarious means to blissfully absorb it;
witness it become the unfathomably poignant radiance;
that reflected profusely from your disastrous soul,

There were no dexterously ambiguous methods to lure it;
unleash it from the unsurpassably limitless Universe;
to make it the bountiful carpet of your stinking household,

There were no miraculous rockets to unflinchingly escalate to it;
sight the entire planet as an infinitesimal insect;
itting on its majestically kingly countenance,

There were no ravishingly melodious tunes to seduce it;
make it the profoundly aristocratic jewel of your impoverished eyes;
while the rest of the globe envied you in utter disbelief,

There were no swords to nonchalantly pluck it;
bestow it with astronomical ease in the heart of your dwindling palms;
for times immemorial,

There was no tenacious breeze to swipe it entirely in one single go;
proudly solemnize your severely devastated existence;
with all stupendous glory that lay in the resplendent cosmos,

There were no sleazily titillating colors to tantalize it;
uninhibitedly make it the celestial radiance of your frigidly capricious skin;
for decades unprecedented,

There were no bombastic pools of crocodile tears to melt it;
trap its divinely prosperity forever;
in the swirl of your insidiously non-existent imagery,

There were no ideals of spuriously pathetic business management to grasp it;
forever embed its triumphantly glittering
flag on the roof of your vengefully dithering dwelling,

There were no rigid textbook incantations to seek it; gyrate in the spell of its heavenly ebullience; irrespective of ghastly night or spell bindingly sweltering day,

There were no ingeniously scientific formulas to wonderfully evolve it;
preserve it without the slightest of effort;
for incomprehensibly unstoppable decades on the trot,

There were no flash in the pan one-night-stands to reach it;
let its marvelously enamoring intensity;
descend upon every cranny of your lecherously diminutive visage,

There were no bizarrely commercial manipulations to trade it;
make it the most unassailably treasured aspect of your despicable life;
in exchange of fathomless treasuries of your rotting wealth,

And if there was any way to immortally reach it;
divinely experience it in every philanthropic smile of your survival;
then it was irrefutably and only timeless perseverance; a Sun of blazing hard work;
that undisputedly leads you to the heaven of; unconquerably sweet SUCCESS….

»Swimming Pool

The crystal water looked marvelously blue,
shining like a glowworm in the infectious moonlight,
filled in a hexagon tank lined with pure sandstone,
with,
stainless metal slides converging down from amazing
heights,
long strips of diving board for a headlong plunge,
crisscrossed threads of netlon bifurcating it into
equal halves,
large injections of disinfectant added at fixed
intervals of time,
cozy changing rooms stacked with luxury towel,
mega perfume canisters for swimming in ecstasy,
inflated circular rings of rubber for wading through
the deep,
an ambience of pine tree and sprawling lawn proved
more than conducive,
the swimming pool was a treat to the eye in blistering
heat of the summer
month.

i couldn't resist any further,
waves of exhilaration dismantled sensible imagery,
as i clambered short rungs of the steep ladder,
gave a shrill scream, relishing thoroughly the icy
waters,
after plummeting 50 feet down from,
the ergonomically sculptured diving board.

»Switch of the air-conditioner please

I felt unrelentingly strangulated; with exhausted blasts of wind emanating from my nose,
Gloominess besieging me with tumultuous force; piercing through my innocuous heart,
An ocean of sweat dribbled down at astoundingly slow speed; trespassing my brow,
The crispness of my shirt; now transited into a completely bedraggled texture,
An inevitable sensation to scratch engulfed my naked skin; and intricate areas of sandwiched between the curly mass of my hair,
A fetid odor wafting from my mouth; permeated the rustically plush ambience,
Incessant shuffling of my feet; made me feel intensely uncomfortable,
Trapped mosquitoes stung succulent chunks of my flesh; inundating my palms with embarrassing blemishes,
My hands felt stiff; starved and thoroughly deprived of the tiniest of movement,
Folds of my skin camouflaging my eye felt heavy; my vision growing disconcertingly blurred by the unleashing minute,
A plethora of jerks rattled the most tenacious of my bone; waking me up every second from my blissful reveries,
An unceasing roar caressed my ears; particles of fine thread prompted me to vociferously sneeze,
White clouds of cigarette smoke floated continuously in the air; dramatically truncating my mental imagery to think,
A solitary fly buzzed painstakingly in the vicinity of my chin; despite frantic attempts to destroy it,
The fortress of my teeth; were clenched in an airtight embrace without respite,
Sound now diffused from my mouth as loud and incoherently sonorous,
I hadn’t consumed a droplet of water since hours; pangs of hunger incorrigibly banged against my constipated intestines,
The world had never seemed so claustrophobic; as I was bearing it this very moment,
That’s when I shouted; expanding the full capacity of my lungs,
Screeched my heart out like a fanatic; stingily commanding the person on the driving wheel; to switch off the air-conditioner,
Open the tinted glass till it came down; allowing ebullient draughts of fresh air; to wholesomely wash off the congested atmosphere.
