Who was she who stole my sleep; although I felt like
collapsing like a dead sack; perspiring more than Sun
all throughout the brilliant day?
Who was she who made me feel like a prince; although I
was the poorest entity alive; rotting in stinking
jute; as my comrades danced in majestic silk outside?
Who was she who tormented me beyond the point of no
control; tantalizing me like a heavenly seductress;
and then living me supremely replenished in my
impoverished life?
Who was she who made me crave for more although I had
achieved my share from my life; made me insatiably
wander through uncanny lanes of the romantically
unexplored?
Who was she who made me love every entity on this
fathomless planet; when infact I had even forgotten to
take my name with pride?
Who was she who ignited thunderbolts of unprecedented
desire in my diminutive demeanor; even though it
murderously snowed since centuries outside?
Who was she who came like an angel in my blood; not
only mitigating it from the most deadliest of disease;
but granting it an incredulously infinite more lives?
Who was she who became each word I spoke; each dream
that I desired even in the most boisterous of light;
stumbling on each footstep although I had the most
strongest of feet?
Who was she who always invisibly comforted me the most
when I needed it; ensuring I irrefutably emerged
triumphant in every aspect of intrepidly challenging
life?
Who was she who was the unflinching candle of my every
night; who divinely guided me to my mission; the
ultimate fantasies of my life; even before I could
speak?
Who was she who made me witness paradise even in the
midst of unruly traffic; propelled me to take birth an
infinite times; till I blissfully pacified the
insurmountable agony of my dwindling soul?
Who was she who made me soar through the clouds like a
royal eagle; compassionately romancing with the exotic
winds that clung ardently to my famished wings?
Who was she who engendered me to continue God’s sacred
chapter of never ending life; making me procreate
countless more of my kind?
Who was she who deluged my life with unsurpassable
happiness; metamorphosing each tear of mine into
pearls of exuberantly enthralling joy?
Who was she who at times became my mother; my father;
my sister; never making me feel that I was uncouthly
orphaned right since my first cry of devastated life?
Who was she who made me oblivious to the most
thunderous sounds in this Universe; following her
footsteps like an insane lunatic; even after the last
droplet of blood had wholesomely evaporated from my
veins?
Who was she who came like a shadow in my pathetic
survival; became the insatiably voluptuous redolence
of each of my senses; assuming monumental proportions
more than the divine?
Who was she who stole each beat of my heart; made me
feel the richest alive not only in this birth; but
immortalized each minuscule breath of mine?
And although I didn’t meet her in this lifetime of
mine; not had the tiniest of insinuation of how her
body looked; it was indeed the power of her invincible
soul; that made me break through each hell; love her
forever and ever and ever in a land of the Omnipotent
God’s; in a land of ultimate paradise…
