»Reflections of childhood

 

THOSE DAYS WERE golden when I was a kid,
deprived of all responsibility,
divested of the urge to earn, run for fodder,
slept all night in cozy delights of my quilt,
to be woken up by the first rays of dawn,
shrill ringing bell of the portable clock,
brief shower with tap water, clad in cream uniform,
greeted by the welcome aroma of mud brown coffee,
ravishing crumbs of bread submerged in jam,
a quick glimpse at unfinished assignments,
vigorous coats of polish activating shoe shine,
meticulous combing of ruffled slept hair,
carefree manipulation of things to be purchased,
hasty packaging of school artillery in leather bag,
animated deliberation with my mother on study hours,
I now marched at fast pace towards the bus stop.


The wind was chilly, sunlight had a role of guest
appearance,
leafy tree foliage camouflaged the road,
droplets of salt water blew from the violent sea,
exuberant birds soared high in the clouds,
lazy yawns echoed through, long van interiors,
occasional clatter of ticket punch pads,
the glass paned bus finally switched routes,
heading towards suburban areas of walled city,
braked to a halt abreast my majestic school building,
the electric school bell was ringing, catholic prayers
had just begun,
as I galloped with my friends, to my compact class
room,
now engulfed profoundly with full morning sunlight….

»Relax

 

RELAX. Let the whole world outside crazily Run. As
you’re the only one who’s eventually destined to bond
with her perpetually sacrosanct fragrance; by the
grace of the Omnisciently Almighty Lord,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside desperately Run. As
you’re the only one with whom she had insatiably
desired to bond; since the very first cry of her
everlastingly mesmerizing birth,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside bizarrely Run. As
you’re the only one who care’s for her; more than
anyone else on this gigantic earth could ever
cogitate; or ever could,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside pugnaciously Run.
As you’re the only one whom she unrelentingly
fantasized about; all blisteringly sunlit day and
every unfurling minute past the heart of fantastically
voluptuous midnight,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside disastrously Run.
As you’re the only one whom she congenitally likes to
court; keep perennially embedded as the most priceless
jewel in the center of her impeccable eyes,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside ludicrously Run. As
you’re the only one who’s dedicated to even the most
infinitesimally fugacious cause of her vibrant life;
embracing every obnoxious impediment that came her way
without a tear in your victorious eye,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside lunatically Run. As
you’re the only one whom she intransigently prayed for
since she emanated her very first breath;
immortalizing you as her eternal mate even before her
brain had the power to think,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside fanatically Run. As
you’re the only one whom she tirelessly sketched on
the pristine seas shores; even as the truculent waves
irritatingly swiped your impressions umpteenth times
in a single minute,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside disparagingly Run.
As you’re the only one whom she considered as revered
as her godly parents; to bountifully harness the
chapter of her iridescently beautiful life,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside deliriously Run. As
you’re the only one whom she indefatigably serenaded;
even as the most hedonistically torrential of
maelstroms; lambasted the earth from every construable
side and space,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside preposterously Run.
As you’re the only one whom she irrefutably considered
her every destiny line; the fascinating litany of
events timelessly unveiling in her blessed life,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside egregiously Run. As
you’re the only one whose name she chanted even in the
realms of unconsciously deep sleep; Omnisciently
witnessing your portrait in every goodness that she
poignantly caressed,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside insipidly Run. As
you’re the only one whom she unflinchingly patronized;
even as corpses of bawdily indescribable savagery
asphyxiated her from all sides,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside baselessly Run. As
you’re the only one whom she envisaged as the ultimate
prince of her destitute life; unassailably
enlightening the lamps of her fretfully withering
existence,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside superfluously Run.
As you’re the only one whom she sensuously cavorted
with in every wink that she mischievously took,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside remorsefully Run.
As you’re the only one whom she marvelously solemnized
for your articulately astounding versatility;
insuperably blending with the blood that flowed
through your artistic veins,

RELAX. Let the whole world outside fecklessly Run. As
you’re the only one whom she impregnably wanted to be
a quintessential ingredient of her existence; the
pinnacle of successful fragrance in her truncated
life,

RELAX. Let the whole world tyrannically Run outside.
As you’re the only one whom she had perpetually
coalesced with even the most mercurial breath that she
diffused; for infinite more births yet to unleash,

And RELAX. Let the whole world barbarously Run
outside. As you’re the only one whom she had
immortally given all her heart and love to;
unconquerably enveloping herself in your embrace so
passionate; that even the God’s considered it sinful
to break….

Her bountifully sprouting and vividly tiny lips; made
me relive all timeless sweetness that I had ever
experienced in the tenure of my penuriously holistic
life,

Her impeccably glistening and mischievously darting
eyes; made me relive all irrefutable innocence that I
had ever experienced in the expedition of my timidly
wavering life,

Her innocuously rubicund and minuscule cheeks; made me
relive all heavenly freshness that I had ever
experienced in the entrenchment of my nimbly
trespassing life,

Her poignantly pudgy and silken fingers; made me

vacillating life,

fascinating life,

life,

immaculate voice; made me relive all blissfully
unending melodies that I had ever experienced in the
fountain of my astoundingly dexterous life,

dramatically unfolding life,

forehead; made me relive all wonderfully enchanting
fantasies that I had ever experienced in the palette
of my panoramically seductive life,

Her infinitesimally non-invasive and profusely
philanthropic chest; made me relive all impregnably
truthful anecdotes that I had ever experienced in the
tunnel of my relentlessly surging life,

Her gregariously frosty and satiny tongue; made me
relive all affably melanging brotherhood that I had
ever experienced in the footsteps of my ebulliently
enthralling life,

Her piquantly chiseled and snow white nose; made me
relive all brazenly flamboyant impetuousness that I
had ever experienced in the chords of my blisteringly
volatile and high strung life,

Her unbelievably soft and rampantly uninhibited hair;
made me relive all eternally majestic vibrations that
I had ever experienced in the centerspread of my
unsurpassably sensitive life,

Her unequivocally impeccable and victorious
conscience; made me relive all unflinchingly spotless
moments that I had ever experienced in the arena of my
wonderfully exhilarating life,

Her perpetually proliferating and Omnipotent breath;
made me relive all ecstatically gratifying
embellishment that I had ever experienced in the
trajectory of my intricately animated life,

And her immortally unassailable and godly heart; made
me relive all majestically unbreakable love that I had
ever experienced in the tirelessly endeavoring journey
of my vibrant life…..

»Remarry

 

After you were dead; I would definitely remarry once
again,
But of course with your immortal eyes; which were the
only rays that propelled me to see; although I was
radiantly bouncing and alive…

After you were dead; I would definitely remarry once
again,
But of course with your immortal lips; engendering me
to smile; everytime I felt like collapsing like a
bedraggled heap on worthless ground; everytime I felt
as if blending with the winds of horrendous
extinction…

After you were dead; I would definitely remarry once
again,
But of course with your immortal shadow; drowning me
into aisles of unprecedented yearning and flamboyant
desire; as I felt like massacring each element of my
demeanor into an infinite inconspicuous pieces….

After you were dead; I would definitely remarry once
again,
But of course with your immortal dreams; which made me
fantasize beyond all the monotonously ordinary;
romance in the majestically sensuous land of bountiful
paradise…

After you were dead; I would definitely remarry once
again,
But of course with your immortal tenacity; that
imparted in me the impregnable resilience to rise up
to the most invidiously treacherous anecdote; which I
encountered in tangible life…

After you were dead; I would definitely remarry once
again,
But of course with your immortal memories; which made
me transit back into realms of impeccable childhood;
pampering the most minuscule of my senses like a
prince; when I was about to sink boundless kilometers
beneath the macabre mud of my veritable corpse…


After you were dead; I would definitely remarry once
again,
But of course with your immortal blood; which
perpetuated me to relish life higher than the clouds;
blossom with rubicund health and happiness; when
infact I wanted to perpetually embrace morbid
disease….

After you were dead; I would definitely remarry once
again,
But of course with your immortal soul; which bonded me
for centuries immemorial in its invincible grip; even
as I wanted to fade like a diminutive mosquito; into
wisps of meaninglessly dilapidated oblivion…

After you were dead; I would definitely remarry once
again,
But of course with your immortal breath; which
fomented me to lead each unveiling minute of my
destined life to most unsurpassable of its capacity;
making me emerge a stupendously passionate winner; on
every footstep I transgressed…

After you were dead; I would definitely remarry once
again,
But of course with your immortal heart; whose beats
not only kept me alive in the inevitable staring of
hopeless death; but ensured that I ubiquitously
propagated the essence of philanthropic mankind; in
every virtue I spread; in every direction I tread…..

»Remember that one day

 

Before you snobbishly kick them with your unwashed
shoe; indiscriminately treat them like a piece of
lackadaisically infinitesimal and threadbare shit; for
not cleaning the floors before you drunkardly arrived,
Remember that one day the strokes of inevitability
would make you as weak and agonizingly old like they
way they were today; with your kin mercilessly
lambasting you more truculently than what you did to
them; dared or horrifically dreamt…..

Before you torturously abuse them for not listening
properly to the most invidiously preposterous of your
commands; cacophonically screaming into their ears in
an attempt to open their ailing pores wide,
Remember that one day the infernos of inevitability
would make you as deaf; ineptly accurate and old; like
the way they were today; with your kin unsparingly
pulverizing the chords of your blissful existence more
criminally; than what you did to them; dared or
sinfully dreamt….

Before you flagrantly spit on them for snatching the
spice from your life; ruthlessly chaining their hands
and knees; so that they didn’t interfere the slightest
in your licentious merry-making; vixen and nubile
wine,
Remember that one day the corridors of inevitability
would make you as debilitatingly diseased and old;
like the way they were today; with your kin blinding
you beyond the realms of recognition more lethally;
than what you did to them; dared or ostracizingly
dreamt…..

Before you treacherously maim them with thorns of
acridly whipping hatred in their feet; just because
they disturbed your pompously pretentious sleep with
their innocuous coughing,
Remember that one day the clouds of inevitability
would make you as pathetically withering and old; like
the way they were today; with your kin sardonically
feeding the last bone of your spine to the dogs more
abominably; than what you did to them; dared or
heinously dreamt….

Before you vindictively terrorize them with your
obnoxiously hired hoodlums; just because their
saggingly fatigued shoulders dithered to carry you all
the way; across to your silly striped Mercedes,
Remember that one day the mists of inevitability would
make you as morosely dreary and old; like the way the
were today; with your kin brutally gouging your
innocent eyes more grotesquely; than what you did to
them; dared or fretfully dreamt….

Before you rebuke them like a rotting coffin of shit;
thrashing them black and blue in front of the entire
world; just because they didn’t give you money to
gamble; enshroud yourself with the winds of savage
narcotics,
Remember that one day the dungeons of inevitability
would make you as haplessly bruised and old; like the
way they were today; with your kin slitting the veins
of your throat more vengefully; than what you did to
them; dared or ignominiously dreamt…..

Before you insidiously try and poison the every morsel
of food that they impeccably devoured; just because
their sagaciously pious school of thought didn’t match
shade by shade to your maliciously adulterated mind,
Remember that one day the rivers of inevitability
would make you as eccentrically rigid and old; like
the way they were today; with your kin preferring to
consume your meat rather than that of the chickens and
more insanely; than what you did to them; dared; or
penalizingly dreamt….

Before you threatening thwart the passage of their
spell binding breath; just because they cried in
hysterical pain infront of you and embraced you like
no one else on this planet ever did,
Remember that one day the fortresses of inevitability
would make you as helplessly bereaved and old; like
the way they were today; with your kin laying the
foundations of their castles more lecherously upon
your dead body; than what you did to them; dared; or
gorily dreamt…

And before you snatch the remaining love in their
already diminishing lives; just because they
compassionately uttered your name before your
manipulatively tycoon friends; in their wonderfully
quavering and enigmatic voice,
Remember that one day the waves of inevitability would
make you as nervously betrayed and old; like they way
they were today; with your kin maniacally spitting on
the beats of your hearts before roasting them and
feeding them to the pigs more indescribably; than what
you did to them; dared; or egregiously dreamt….

»Remember This. The next time you set out to rape....

 

You’re not just raping her sacrosanct flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; brutally raping; the untainted spirit of her symbiotically bountiful existence,

You’re not just raping her effulgent flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; indiscriminately raping; her impeccably unhindered and divinely image in the fathomless world,

You’re not just raping her victorious flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; unforgivably raping; the countless ideals of godly motherhood; that her persona had inevitably established on planet earth,

You’re not just raping her melodious flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; diabolically raping; her unconquerable individuality to independently exist as a female on this spell binding Universe,

You’re not just raping her harmonious flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; sacrilegiously raping; the ever-pervading mantra of holistic spirituality; that enchantingly lingered in her soul,

You’re not just raping her enamoring flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; demonically raping; every single ray of hope that she’d so triumphantly conceived; amidst a mortuary of ghoulishly asphyxiating blackness,

You’re not just raping her jubilant flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; cold-bloodedly raping; the immortally unflinching cradle of truth and solidarity in her pious conscience,

You’re not just raping her beautiful flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; torturously raping; the thread of insuperable humanity with which she’d felt so perpetually bonded with; till this very plagued moment,

You’re not just raping her nubile flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; fanatically raping; the heavenly virginity of each tangible and intangible pore of her wondrously blessed form,

You’re not just raping her ecstatic flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; inconsolably raping; the very melody and sweetness of her god-gifted creation,

You’re not just raping her uninhibited flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; truculently raping; the wings of her everlastingly fructifying freedom,

You’re not just raping her majestic flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; venomously raping; the fathomless labyrinths of artistry that she paved; on every of her advancing footstep,

You’re not just raping her scintillating flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; hedonistically raping; the optimistically blazing sun of her destiny; which now wanted to do nothing else but extinguish wholesomely,

You’re not just raping her inimitable flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; ominously raping; her signature of ultimate authenticity; righteousness and eternally enthralling compassion,

You’re not just raping her celestial flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; sinfully raping; every of her blissful fantasy and vision; of succeeding in whatever philanthropic that she wanted to do,

You’re not just raping her bounteous flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; pugnaciously raping; even the tiniest of her desire to synergistically mélange with every fraternity of humanity; further on,

You’re not just raping her ubiquitous flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; tyrannically raping; the inherently effervescent and pristinely unabashed child gallivanting in each of her stride,

You’re not just raping her royal flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; cannibalistically raping; the inimitably distinctive aura of infallible innocence; that perennially radiated from every tangible dimension of her persona,

You’re not just raping her euphoric flesh; but by thoughtlessly doing so; you’re infact and forever; uncouthly raping; even the tiniest insinuation of color; charm and vibrancy; from the chapter of her now vindictively devastated life,

So please do remember the above; the next time you set out to rape a woman; O! maniacally perverted man…

»Renunciation

 

Renunciation from dolorously heinous stagnation; the
corpses of crippling decay that had so vindictively
strangulated every aspect of my impoverished
existence,

Renunciation from preposterously dastardly stench; the
unfathomably abominable filth of bizarre manipulation;
that had so treacherously pulverized me on every step
that I dared to tread,

Renunciation from despicably claustrophobic monotony;
the knives of insane bloodshed and gory war;
pugnaciously stabbing me from all sides,

Renunciation from indefatigably squelching dreariness;
the seeds of invidious laggardness; making me
disdainfully collapse like a pack of frigid
matchsticks; even before I alight a single step,

As I perpetually blended myself with the unsurpassably
exotic petals of the poignantly proliferating nature;
solely inhaling its Omnipotently philanthropic
fragrance; for infinite more births of mine yet to
handsomely unveil…..

1….

Renunciation from tyrannically lambasting slavery; the
blood-stained chains of malevolent dictatorship which
had so brutally excoriated the shades of my
vivaciously resplendent existence,


Renunciation from robotically corporate machinery; the
pompously spurious and ghastly walls of ignominiously
castigating office; which had so indiscriminately
incarcerated me from nine to nine,


Renunciation from graveyards of fretful cowardliness;
the ghosts of baselessly horrific fear; venomously
poisoning my immaculately fantastic mind all the time,


Renunciation from the shells of grotesquely sinister
diffidence; the feckless hypochondriac that tried to
annihilate me with its swords of unrelenting
viciousness; every unfurling minute of the day and the
bountifully star studded night,

As I surrendered every ingredient of my mind; body and
soul; to the invincibly Omnipresent inferno of spell
binding righteousness; coalescing with the fabric of
unflinching truth till the Lord had destined the very
last breath of my life…..

3….

Renunciation from the conventionally meaningless
society; the derogatorily sinful wisps of sleazy cigar
smoke and sanctimonious slang; which had rendered my
survival more exacerbated than the wounds of a wailing
dog,


Renunciation from the tornadoes of gory war; the rain
of innocent blood that poured unstoppably on my
countenance; as countless lost their lives in battles
of color and tribe,

Renunciation from the gutters of unforgivable
corruption; the raunchy wad of salacious notes;
indefatigably trying to weigh every ingredient of my
holistically blessed survival,

Renunciation from disastrously stray loneliness; the
winds of murderously rebuked isolation; overwhelmingly
overpowering me; for ostensibly not the slightest
fault of mine,

As I wholeheartedly embraced the religion of eternally
endowing humanity; blissfully burgeoning in its swirl
to continue God’s most sacred chapter of creation;
perpetually bonding with every synergistically living
organism and its kind….


4…..

Renunciation from shattered glasses of asphyxiated
boredom; the whiplashes of irascibly pernicious and
anomalous sodomy that truculently impeded me; on every
stage of my life,


Renunciation from the web of transiently surreptitious
desire; the untamed infernos of insurmountably bawdy
delight that sporadically crept up from nowhere in
clear space; into my wandering soul,

Renunciation from the tunnels of abhorrently sordid
betrayal; the pathetically reverberating edifices of
prurient prejudice; parasitically deteriorating the
beats of my marvelously celestial existence,

Renunciation from inexplicably slandering misery; the
incomprehensibly livid ant holes of cancerous disease;
which so tumultuously augmented in every part of my
sensitive blood and skin,

As I immortally bonded every beat of my heart with
hers forever and ever and ever; with the unassailably
unparalleled fires between our bodies miraculously
quelling all agonizing pain not only for this birth;
but each time the Creator gifted this earth to
eclectic mankind….

»Replacements

 

IF BRICKS IN the edifice were replaced by inflated balloons,
The colossal structure would tumble down on earth; like a pack of soft plastic cards.


If acerbic blades of the ceiling fan were; replaced with satiny Persian cloth,
I would be able to kiss the contraption; even when revolving at full speeds.


If coarse cloth of jagged trouser; was replaced with succulent candy floss,
There would be a battalion of red ant crawling up; devouring the sumptuous meal.


If a cluster of calcium teeth; were replaced by intricate fillings of wrought iron,
The individual would have the prowess to chew the hardest of stone; yet not be able to smile.


If the gargantuan body of saline ocean; was replaced by ponds of still water,
There would be no whales swimming; with frothy waves disappearing into oblivion.


If salubrious juice of jaggery; was replaced by chemical sugar,
A myriad of bowels would expurgate themselves; relinquishing taste.


If shards of obdurate crystal glass; were replaced by gelatine paper,
There would be a chain of robberies committed all day; with the burglars sleeping sedately throughout the night.


If every iota of soil on ground; was replaced by granules of exquisite silver,
There would be no penurious existing on earth; with all green foliage ceasing to grow.


If the metal wings of aircraft; were replaced by pure cotton,
The plane would acrobatically nosedive towards the ground; assassinating slim hopes of survival.


If entwined bones of body; were replaced by plum juice,
The body would inevitably collapse on the ground; diminishing all hopes of plausible autopsy.


And if humans on the globe; were replaced by mechanized robots,
A plethora of tasks would be executed to meticulous perfection,
And the most versatile organism; would fatally succumb without learning the art of love.

»Residue

 

When I boiled squalid mushroom and glittering diamonds together in a
cauldron;
placing it above crackling flames of the fire,
The residue obtained contained profound traces of radiating yellow;
annihilating even the most minuscule trace of the black vegetable.

When I boiled fetid sewage along with fragrant petals of crimson rose;
above
the naked flames of the stove,
The residue obtained had no sight of dirt; all It emanated was an
omnipotent
essence of the flower.

When I boiled ominous scorpion sting with innocuous butter; roasting
the same
over long rods of blistering iron,
The residue obtained looked as brilliant as the sacerdotal body of sun;
and
there were simply no signs of the lethal poison.

When I boiled extracts of the tarnished politicians speech with the
martyrs
blood; simmering it on the smoke rising from the cooking range,
The residue obtained had an overwhelming aroma of the valiant soldier;
with
every scrap of the leader's notes dying an instantaneous death.

When I boiled acrimonious thorns along with velvety blades of grass;
shaking
the mixture profusely over the chimney fire,
The residue obtained had stringently acquired an accentuated olive
color of
grass; and the pointed shoots were now converted into soft sponge as an
aftermath.

When I boiled obnoxious petrol along with gallons of fresh liquid;
placing the
same above a conflagration of seasoned timber sticks,
The residue obtained was as impeccable as spring water; with the
pugnacious
odor of the gasoline drowning a ghastly death.

When I boiled parasitic leech along with the succulent cherry; placing
them on
a conglomerate of scorching leaves,
The residue obtained was as scarlet as evanescent dawn; with a
mesmerizing
smell of the fruit wafting in the air; and all signs of the worm
disappearing
into slim oblivion.

When I boiled frozen cubes of ice along with repugnant green chili;
placing
the same in boiler room of a ship,
The residue obtained contained bountiful rivulets of water; with the
animosity
of the hostile weed melting inevitably with the ice.

When I boiled omnipresent god along with the diabolical devil; placing
them
under fiery rays of the rising sun,
The residue in store was the omniscient creator standing tall and
domineering
emitting his perpetual scent; with the satanic monster pulverized to
inconspicuous ash.

And when I boiled love with prejudiced hatred; keeping the same to burn
in
sweltering heat of the desert,
The residue obtained had fathomless waves of perennial love; naturally
overshadowing anecdotes of baseless abhorrence.
