»When I wrote her name

 

When I wrote her name with light fountain ink; on the naked parchment of white paper,
It appeared almost invisible; failed to portray the fervent intensity of our romance.

When I inscribed her name on the walls; using exquisite quality of floral paints,
There emanated an ethereal fragrance of flower; although it failed to highlight the main ingredient of our love.

When I scribbled her name on the slippery beach sands; using a chiseled twig,
The calligraphy embossed looked amusing; although it soon got washed in entirety by the gushing waves.

When I painted her name on scintillating glass; using vibrant strokes of steel gray,
The printing was so scrupulous and neat; that it miserably failed to depict the tenacity of our relationship.

When I wrote her name on the black board; using a cylindrical stick of expensive chalk,
It appeared clear and bold; although it couldn’t yet provoke even the slightest of sentiment; and the professor soon scrubbed it clean with his duster.

When I embedded her name on a triangular biscuit of gold; using my switchblade knife,
It appeared grandiloquently studded; although it gave our love a look of ostentatious flattery.

When I symmetrically carved her name on the soft tree bark; using the corrugated drill,
It appeared astoundingly clear from a far distance; although it failed to convey our immortality; as the next second a nomad chopped it down.

When I incorporated her name on the voluptuous cake; using an icing of aromatic peppermint,
It looked romantically enticing; although it couldn’t display the essence of our romance; soon lost its charm as a battalion of ants and insets crawled all over.

When I painstakingly penned her name on glittering diamonds; using a solution of shimmering silver,
It appeared kingly and aristocratic; although it failed to highlight the hardships we had undergone to make our love an intransigent success.

And when I wrote her name on my chest; using rusty nails and a gleaming blade,
Pools of blood dribbled down my ribs; rendering me virtually unconscious; but this time it spoke fathomless volumes of our immense dedication,
With each droplet of blood; reflecting the unconquerable tenacity of our everlasting love.
 
»When in love

 

Even if you slapped me hard in my cheek; mercilessly whipping the succulent flesh of my body,
I would still bow down my head in obeisance; proclaim vociferously to the world that I loved you.

Even if you spat on me loads of your tangy saliva; castigating me openly amidst scores of civilians; for the most inadvertent of my mistakes,
I would still offer you a glass of spring water to mollify your anger; say audaciously that I loved you.

Even if you starved me of food for the entire day; refraining to cast an amicable look in my direction,
I would still endeavor my best to make you frivolously smile; trying to enlighten the pallid atmosphere; declare without hesitancy that I loved you.

Even if you made me polish the dilapidated floors till they shone like mirrors; dictatorially commanded me to wipe your shoes,
I would still worship your feet in due reverence; whisper to the obdurate brick walls that I loved you.

Even if you made me iron your ostentatious clothes; dressing me in threadbare sacs of corrugated jute,
I would still engulf you with the extra rag on my body; when you were shivering; sobbing hysterically in front of you to convey that I loved you.

Even if you shut your eyes when I confronted you; smirking haughtily when I tried to utter the most diminutive of sound,
I would still carry you to your bed when your dreary toes floundered to hold their weight on the ground; kiss you gently on your lips to portray I loved you.

Even if you deliberately snapped off my car brakes; making sure I met with a ghastly accident the next time I drove,
I would still utter your name while lying submerged in pools of greasy blood; shout as hard as I could expend my lungs to say that I loved you.

Even if you wished derogatory for me night and day; ominously stared at me for no fault of mine,
I would still pray to the creator to impregnate your life with bountiful riches; ubiquitously disclose that I loved you.

Even if you pushed me from the aircraft hovering at an unprecedented altitude in the clouds; waiting anxiously to witness the scenario of my inevitable death,
I would still smile compassionately at you; fervently hoping to witness your grace again in the next birth; unanimously declare to all that I loved you before I relinquished breath.

Do you want to know the secret behind my blatantly irrational behavior; the cause for my uninhibited sacrifice,
Well its simply this darling; that I had loved you intensely since the moment I first saw you,
And WHEN IN LOVE; I only knew how to chivalrously give; for the moment I asked you to grant me favors in return; I would be christened as the 'biggest beggar'.

»When my heart ceased to function

 

When sensitive tunnels in my eardrum stopped
functioning,
amicable voices of chirping birds failed to cast an
impression,
stringent sounds emanating from vocal chords of my
mother,
struck me as inaudibly sedative whispers of the girl i
immensely loved.

as rosy pink fangs of my tongue shut down without
prior notice,
there were insatiable urges to demonstrate my
emotions,
my face contorted with hapless paralysis,
with my whole being plunging into opalescent fountains
bereft of water.

when indispensable centers of my vision rebuked to
function,
hazy blobs of grayish scarlet inundated my eyeball,
intricate outlines of the moon resembled disheveled
chunks of ice-cream,
the catastrophe had marooned me on a paradise of
dreams,
divested of the philanthropic power to see.

as my stolid pair of my feet brusquely froze in their
advancing tread,
minuscule distances of the city; loomed menacingly as
marathon race tracks,
the simplistic idea of walking seemed bizarrely
austere,
infinite compartments of my body tugged me towards
untimely slumber.

when clusters of my knotted fingers shunned to work,
mystical enigmas in my brain unleashed themselves at
frantic pace,
flowery lines of contemporary literature seemed to
erupt from my mouth,
with my manual apparatus unable to tranform fantasy
into written reality.

and eventually when boisterous threads of my heart
relinquished vibrations,
gallons of crimson blood flowing transited to deathly
blue,
rubicund complexion of my skin developed patches of
febrile yellow,
my moistened breath evaporated in its rudimentary
roots,
and i bid a tearful adieu to mother earth; which i had
inhabited as a man for
50 long years.

»When my heart felt heavy

 

When my eyes felt preposterously heavy; I majestically
treated them with infernos of bountifully unparalleled
empathy,

When my lips felt insurmountably heavy; I fabulously
treated them with an unfathomable balm of gregariously
blossoming smiles,

When my ears felt satanically heavy; I resplendently
treated them with a mesmerizing valley of
ingratiatingly tantalizing sounds,

When my shoulders felt frantically heavy; I
beautifully treated them with the miraculously
rejuvenating cascade of the timelessly heavenly
waterfalls,

When my palms felt murderously heavy; I
philanthropically treated them with the fabric of
everlastingly sacrosanct and Omnipotent mankind,

When my feet felt drearily heavy; I symbiotically
treated them with unfathomable elements of celestially
fascinating righteousness,

When my blood felt asphyxiatingly heavy; I divinely
treated it with unsurpassable rivers of fragrantly
coalescing compassion,

When my fingers felt disastrously heavy; I jubilantly
treated them with unfathomably regale fireballs of
unrelentingly endowing artistry,

When my brain felt devastatingly heavy; I enchantingly
treated it with fathomless cloudbursts of
spellbindingly exotic fantasy,

When my bones felt cripplingly heavy; I harmoniously
treated them with the panoramically ebullient cradle
of endlessly reinvigorating nature,

When my lids felt ominously heavy; I rhapsodically
treated them with an incomprehensible immeasurable
valley of eternally titillating sensuousness,

When my conscience felt treacherously heavy; I
blazingly treated it with unconquerable fortresses of
patriotically unflinching honesty,

When my tongue felt salaciously heavy; I melodiously
treated it with a perpetual hive of invincible
sweetness and sparklingly benign graciousness,

When my stomach felt thunderously heavy; I amiably
treated it with the synergistically fructifying fruits
of sacredly proliferating Mother Nature,

When my neck felt monotonously heavy; I holistically
treated it with cushions of heavenly silk; engulfing
even the most infinitesimal cranny of my visage with
the blooming carpets of iridescent paradise,

When my deeds felt unbearably heavy; I
philanthropically treated them with the perennially
beautiful religion of priceless mankind,

When my shadow felt insidiously heavy; I victoriously
treated it with the unassailable path of
exhilaratingly unstoppable righteousness,

When my breath felt diabolically heavy; I fearlessly
treated it with the Omnipotently scintillating Sunrays
of vivaciously triumphant life,

And when my heart felt lethally heavy; I immortally
treated it with the stupendously humanitarian
impressions of love; love and only undefeatably true
love….

»When ridiculed by my very own beloved…

 

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal hands; I rose like an unflinchingly peerless tiger; to defend my irrefutably untainted integrity,
But when the same was unsparingly ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt hopelessly crippled; not even being able to hoist a feather with my palms; for an infinite more lifetimes….

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal eyes; I rebounded back like a viciously untamed scorpion; to defend my pricelessly inimitable integrity,
But when the same was brutally ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt cadaverously blind; not being able to sight even the largest of structure in the most brilliant of sunshine; for an infinite more lifetimes….

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal throat; I towered like the ultimate sword of valiantly fearless war; to defend my blissfully innocuous integrity,
But when the same was preposterously ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt pathetically dumb; not being able to utter a word with my exuberantly bouncing tongue; for an infinite more lifetimes…

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal brain; I shot back like an inferno of insatiably endless bravado; to defend my wondrously unimpeachable integrity,
But when the same was unabashedly ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt insanely paralyzed; not being able to distinguish my own voice in wholesome solitude; for an infinite more lifetimes…

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal fingers; I poignantly fulminated back like the harshest ray of the midday Sun; to defend my ebulliently triumphant integrity,
But when the same was indefatigably ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt miserably leper; not being able to pen a singleton alphabet; for an infinite more lifetimes…

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal feet; I lashed back like a ferocious stalk of pugnacious chili; to defend my ecstatically marvelous integrity,
But when the same was inexhaustibly ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt unbearably maimed; not being able to traverse an infinitesimal millimeter forward; for an infinite more lifetimes…

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal spine; I fumed back like the agonizingly uncurbed embers of the bonfire; to defend my victoriously pristine integrity,
But when the same was sinfully ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt tawdrily crooked; not being able to face earth eye to eye; for an infinite more lifetimes…

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal lips; I menacingly growled back like an entire forest of lions; to defend my impeccably vibrant integrity,
But when the same was sadistically ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt despondently infertile; not being able to generate the tiniest trace of passion; for an infinite more lifetimes…

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal ears; I stood fearlessly unperturbed like the great wall of china; to defend my royally unfettered integrity,
But when the same was iconoclastically ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt horrendously deaf; not being able to hear even the loudest decibels of my voice; for an infinite more lifetimes…

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal blood; I spat back indignantly till limits of indescribable exhaustion; to defend my bountifully symbiotic integrity,
But when the same was unreasonably ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt illegitimately orphaned; not being able to ever accept this earth; for an infinite more lifetimes….

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal cheeks; I reacted as violently as the barbarously caged alligator; to defend my celestially impeccable integrity,
But when the same was deliberately ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt the ugliest person alive; not being able to face and interact with even the most ethereal organism on this Universe; for an infinite more lifetimes…

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal height; I tirelessly crackled back in flames of vindication; to defend my beautifully redolent integrity,
But when the same was insidiously ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt like an invisible ghost; not being able to sight myself ever in the mirror; for an infinite more lifetimes….

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal potency; I erupted back like the latently gushing volcano; to defend my incredulously altruistic integrity,
But when the same was venomously ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt like a lifeless corpse; not being able to possess the slightest of my space on planet divine; for an infinite more lifetimes….

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal signature; I flagrantly hissed back like the uncontrolled tornado; to defend my harmoniously spell-binding integrity,
But when the same was bawdily ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt like an impotent illiterate; not being able to ever decipher between innovation and balderdash; for an infinite more lifetimes…

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal sweat; I unstoppably hurled back at them like the highest wave of the stormy sea; to defend my undyingly sparkling integrity,
But when the same was licentiously ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt like the laziest stone on earth; not being able to ever lift or sense my form on this globe; for an infinite more lifetimes….

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal shadow; I indefinitely became the ultimate epitomes of abuse; to defend my enthrallingly robust integrity,
But when the same was satanically ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt like the coffins of oblivion; not being able to ever discover the faintest trace of life; for an infinite more lifetimes….

When the world laughed at my perfectly normal passion; I snarled back like the most disastrous guffaws of hell; to defend my blissfully sacrosanct integrity,
But when the same was diabolically ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt like the vials of non-existent poison; not being able to inhale breath even in an atmosphere of sole oxygen; for an infinite more lifetimes…

And when the world laughed at my perfectly normal love; I gave them back a piece of my mind which was as sharp as the tip of a billion knives; to defend my ubiquitously unparalleled integrity,
But when the same was wretchedly ridiculed by my very own beloved; I felt like a mortuary of lies; not being able to ever unite my heart with any other thing on this Universe; for an infinite more lifetimes…

»When she abandoned me

 

There was a time when she had just come into my life
like thunderbolts of white lightening; igniting each
pore my penuriously famished skin; with infernos of
insatiably burgeoning desire,
While today when she abandoned me; I felt worse than a
frigidly dying matchstick; with all scarlet blood in
my veins now metamorphosing into trash more insipidly
worthless; than the stinking gutters…..

There was a time when she had just come into my life
like a garden of bountifully blossoming roses;
melodiously enlightening each element of my
impoverished existence; with a fountain of ebulliently
rhapsodic scent,
While today when she abandoned me; even the most
infinitesimal trace of my voice froze in the center of
my throat; as I felt every possible devil in this
treacherous world; ruthlessly lambasting into bizarre
submission; till times even beyond my grave…..

There was a time when she had just come into my life
like an ecstatically frolicking butterfly; triggering
me to philander for times immemorial; through clouds
of seductively unparalleled mysticism,
While today when she abandoned me; each iota of my
bedazzling sight transformed into an entrenchment of
ghastly blindness; rendering me utterly hopeless and
devastated; amidst the pack of savagely blood sucking
wolves…..

There was a time when she had just come into my life
like a boisterously golden bee; deluging even the most
diminutive step that I took; with timelessly perennial
sweetness,
While today when she abandoned me; all my Herculean
resilience converted into an orphaned puddle of
cowardice; as I trembled in uncontrollable disbelief
at even the most capricious wavering of my shadow…..

There was a time when she had just come into my life
like an Omnipotent angel; celestially maneuvering each
aspect of my manipulative existence; towards the path
of irrefutably sacrosanct righteousness,
While today when she abandoned me; I found myself
being pulverized more and more brutally as the Sun
rose in the sky; with even the satanic vultures
refraining to caress; my abhorrently decaying
skeleton…..

There was a time when she had just come into my life
like a cloud of insurmountably blissful fantasy;
engendering me to unrelentingly romanticize all spell
binding goodness; on this colossal planet,
While today when she abandoned me; every ingredient of
my visage abnegated even the slightest of desire to
survive; as I surrendered myself wholeheartedly; to
the lap of murderously penalizing hell…..

There was a time when she had just come into my life
like a vivaciously tantalizing peacock; fabulously
rousing me from my reverie; like a titillating mirage
of pristinely nubile beauty,
While today when she abandoned me; the lines of
poignant destiny abruptly vanished from my indigent
palms; as I meaninglessly groped through a dungeon of
traumatizing darkness; like a ghost without head or
majestic feet…..

There was a time when she had just come into my life
like a heavenly mist of passionately enchanting
breath; granting me the tenacity to unflinchingly
live; and ensure that my comrades existed in
harmoniously symbiotic happiness,
While today when she abandoned me; even the most
remotest trace of life from my lungs raced infinite
feet beneath my veritable grave; with my carcass being
grotesquely kicked by all passing by; at rampant
will…..

And there was a time when she had just come into my
life like an immortal spell of love; making my
heartbeats the richest on this aristocratic Universe;
as she unconquerably bonded her benign spirit with
wandering existence,
While today when she abandoned me; I relentlessly
cursed my survival to be the most insidious burden on
planet earth; eventually slashing my nerves
indiscriminately; to die and perhaps savor those few
minutes of her love; once again in the next birth…..

»When she arrived

 

WHEN SHE ARRIVED; the cluster of fragrant flowers in the garden bent down in meek submission,

When she arrived; the birds soaring high in the sky chirped all the more vociferously; attempting to make their presence felt,

When she arrived; warm shivers ran down through the roots of colossal trees,

When she arrived; the minuscule rivulets in the river; rose up to become swirling waves; in animated ecstasy,

When she arrived; feeble rays of the sun brilliantly shimmered; profoundly illuminating the atmosphere,

When she arrived; the insipid blades of frigid grass stood up with exhilarated alacrity,

When she arrived; fleet footed squirrels in proximity gnawed more voraciously at the nut trapped within their jaws,

When she arrived; puffs of lackadaisical clouds in the cosmos transited to tantalizing black thunder,

When she arrived; the majestic peacock uninhibitedly spread its kingly feathers to a complete blossom,

When she arrived; the reptiles slithered painstakingly emanating sizzling noises; on the periphery of semi soaked ground,
When she arrived; the bees in their hives produced more honey than ever before; inundating the still atmosphere with their incessant buzzing,

When she arrived; a plethora of frogs croaked loquaciously in the well; ostentatiously expanding the yellow sacs inhabiting their body,

When she arrived; gloomy worms crawling through the bushes radiated a resplendently brilliant shine,

When she arrived; the chameleon ebulliently changed its color; displaying shades of mesmerizing vibrancy,

When she arrived; the multi-legged spider ran several paces faster in its silken web; bustling to and fro to devour its imprisoned prey,

When she arrived; the pair of crimson crested parrots entwined their beaks in each other; intractably refraining to separate themselves,

When she arrived; light complexioned leaves of the cactus converted to an alluring sapphire,

When she arrived; scores of monkeys gyrated on the tree tops; frivolously tossing succulent fruit on the earth,

When she arrived; all hatred circumventing the ambience was miraculously transmuted into immortal love,

When she arrived; gods in the sky forgot to do their work; admiring the form they had created in open mouthed consternation,

And when she arrived; I felt an insatiable urge to live; for the first time in my life felt like a complete man.

»When she blushed

 

WHEN SHE BLUSHED she looked as mesmerizing as the sparkling oyster shell; as impeccable as the moon,
Driving me into waves of stupendous rhapsody; inundating my persona with overwhelming exhilaration.


When she blushed she appeared as ravishing as freshly prepared crusty chocolate; as tantalizing as the crimson rose,
Catapulting me to unexplored arenas of enchantment; taking my breath away for a few seconds from its very roots.


When she blushed she looked as innocuous as a newly born child; crying incessantly for its mother,
Prompting me to shut down all other avenues of work; keep on admiring her until eternity.


When she blushed she appeared as poignant as green chili; as rustic as the primordial tree roots,
Sending a plethora of shivers right down to my veins; imparting my sullen face a prominently mystical smile.


When she blushed she looked as vivacious as the colored rainbow in the sky; as resplendent as the twinkling stars,
Impregnating in me inexplicable sensations; ones which I had never experienced in my life before.


When she blushed she appeared as pellucid as the crystal mountain stream; as innocent as an incongruous birthmark,
Making me erupt effusively with spurts of exuberance; shouting loudly as far as my voice could reach; in the middle of the dead night.


When she blushed she looked as enticing as chilled tangy juice; as majestic as the kingly peacock blossoming its feathers,
Knocking all apprehensions from top drawers of my mind; remarkably transforming the monotonous outlook of my thoughts.

When she blushed she appeared as voluptuous as the pelting rain; as perennial as the lush green blades of grass,
Placing me in a state of speechless ebullience; as she caressed me gently on my bearded cheek.


When she blushed she resembled the radiating reptile rampantly traversing through the jungle; the scarlet winged parrot bathing in the gurgling river,
Engendering my eyes to virtually pop out of their sockets; clenching my fists to salute her in due adulation.


When she blushed she seemed like a celestial fairy having descended from the sky; the most perfect messenger of spontaneous love,
Making me profoundly oblivious to the disparaging world; making me clearly cognize my sole purpose to live; having taken birth on this earth in the form of a man.

»When sleep inevitably comes

 

Be it the royal realms of the unbelievably embellished king poster bed; or be it the most treacherously barren slopes of the heartlessly cold-blooded rock which spat nothing but ostracizing disdain,

Be it the majestically silken cocoons of sensuously exhilarating clouds; or be it the unabashedly insect laden shores of the inscrutably rustic forest; bemoaning in the most unrelenting nights of wilderness,

Be it the compassionately invincible quilts of kingly fur; or be it the most fetidly disintegrating pavements; by the tawdrily asphyxiating gutter side; for which the entire world ended and started with the word dirt,

Be it the unassailably priceless lap of the timelessly venerated mother; or be it the most preposterously ghoulish of graveyard; from which nothing else wafted; but the intransigent curses of the lifeless ghosts,

Be it the triumphantly pristine meadow of lush green mesmerizing grass; or be it the most pugnaciously venomous battlefield of gruesome thorns; which solely led to the corpses of lecherous extinction,

Be it the uninhibitedly poignant soil profusely soaked in ubiquitously fresh rain; or be it the bawdily worthless carcasses; which indefatigably rattled with the sounds of ominously deteriorating hell,

Be it the invincibly celestial seat of the jubilantly crimson Mercedes; or be it the balustrades of bizarrely crippling uncertainty; which vengefully permeated with increasing proclivity into every bit of the atmosphere,

Be it the intrepidly regal deck of the insuperably kingly luxury ocean liner; or be it the insanely ribald premises of the soiled lavatory seat; from which emanated nothing but the stench of intolerably strangulating malice,

Be it the eternally relaxing interiors of the beautiful sofa set; or be it the sordidly spit laden streets; from which hurled nothing else but a flurry of disdainfully wretched impoverishment,

Be it the belly of the most charismatically undulating and frosty sea; or be it the hideously sweltering sands of the acrimonious desert; which indiscriminately torched everything to decrepit meaninglessness;

Be it the wings of unconquerably blessing desire; or be it the most disastrously apocalyptic path of delinquent hopelessness; which gave an infinite curses every unveiling instant,

Be it the pillow of magically ameliorating green leaves; or be it the most worthlessly castigating coffin of charcoal; which blackened not just the body; but irrevocably adulterated the soul,

Be it the victoriously breeze laden open roof-top terrace; or be it the most sinfully strangulating gallows of penurious prison; from which drifted solely the cries of the barbarously plundering demon,

Be it the spell-bindingly slow clad apogees of undefeated Everest; or be it the most ridiculously infinitesimal mole hills of the ant; which rendered fresh strength to the corridors of invisibility; every unraveling minute,

Be it the magically rejuvenating rockbed under the iridescently sparkling waterfall; or be it the sinister witch’s abode; which intransigently screamed nothing but the most diabolical wails of death,

Be it the fields of flirtatiously liberated corn; or be it the most robotically disgruntled match-boxed offices of sheer manipulation; from which arose nothing else but the cries of haplessly dying vindication,

Be it the rhapsodically spongy cakes of insatiable prosperity; or be it the most stinkingly depraved carrion; upon which feasted an unfathomable number of inconsolably sacrilegious vultures,

Be it the perennially undefeated lion’s cave; or be it the miserably clammy rats den; which was inhabited by nothing else but the derogatorily rebuking spirit of staleness,

Just doesn’t matter the slightest. Because when sleep inevitably comes; it doesn’t see the time; place; circumstance that you’re placed in; simply and invincibly shutting your eyes to even the most evanescent consternation in the atmosphere; timelessly ensuring that whenever you awoke; you witnessed every bit of the fathomlessly undying Universe; in the most optimistically rejuvenated and Omnipotent of light…

»When the heart erred

 

When the pigeons erred; not following its regular
rhythm of flight as tumultuous storms overhauled the
silken afternoon; they deplorably sank in a bedraggled
heap; to murderously coalesce with despicably cold
ground,

When the rose erred; not following its regular rhythm
of swirling radiantly with the ecstatic breeze; it
despondently withered in mists of rotten gloom;
inexplicably diffusing painstakingly pathetic stink;
instead of glorious waves of exuberant scent,

When the lion erred; not following its regular rhythm
of turbulently pulverizing its succulent prey into
inconspicuously raw chowder; it was ludicrously
guffawed upon by even the most minuscule of ant; who
instantaneously capsized upon the most mesmerizing
opportunity; to feast ebulliently upon its lame ears,

When the mountains erred; not following their regular
rhythm of brilliantly kissing towering beams of
majestic sunlight; the brutally dumb stone finally
felt contented; that it had now a gigantically frigid
mate to parasitically lean and take compassionate
reprieve from,

When the fish erred; not following their regular
rhythm of rampantly swimming in deep waters of the
choppy sea; the fishermen sitting on the shores had a
gala time; pecking them like diminutively dwindling
mosquitoes; at the tiniest poke of their gleaming
rods,

When the kites erred; not following their regular
rhythm of sailing high and handsome in the clouds;
they split into a fathomless pieces; before settling
as excoriated rags amidst an untamed juggernaut of
branches; as the wind slowly died down,

When the nightingale erred; not following its regular
rhythm of stupendously melodious sound; it fulminated
into ludicrously cacophonic rhyme; triggering
discordantly ungainly tumult; in magically serene bits
of atmosphere,

When the dog erred; not following their regular rhythm
of barking when strangers trespassed; the hoodlums
made merry in flamboyant day as well as treacherous
night; audaciously eloped with the booty; leaving it
staggering for breath after kicking it ruthlessly in
its solar plexus,

When the lids erred; not following their regular
rhythm of incessantly batting upon the trajectory of
the handsomely impeccable eyeball; the eyes
unbelievably lamented; as they gradually slipped
towards a blanket of viciously gory darkness,

When the lips erred; not following their regular
rhythm of charismatically smiling upon the
astoundingly glittering dais; the fathomless flock of
congenial crowds; pelted unruly stone and ghastly
abuse; before they embarked back upon a horrifically
disgruntled retreat,

When the feet erred; not following their regular
rhythm of patriotically marching forward in euphoric
gusto; they uncouthly embedded themselves deeper and
deeper into sullen cocoons of soil as the minutes
unfurled; before becoming easily vulnerable targets
for the unsurpassable battalion of hideously grinning
termites,

When the ears erred; not following their regular
rhythm of sagaciously discerning the most minutest of
sound; they eventually found themselves savagely
entrapped; in bizarre clutches of the disparagingly
rampaging demon,

When the pigs erred; not following their regular
rhythm of greedily gobbling through piles of fetidly
abominable garbage; they paid the price of their
lives; as civilians mistook them for tame dogs;
enslaving them in overwhelmingly rigid collar; and
taut chains,

When the rivers erred; not following their regular
rhythm of profusely melanging with the boundless
oceans; the barbarically tyrannical rays of the
sweltering Sun; eventually dried every speck of their
liquid; rendering them to freeze; under avalanches of
abhorrent prejudice,

When the eggs erred; not following their regular
rhythm of taking amicable shelter amidst nettles and
grass laid in by their sacrosanct mothers; the
venomous lizards and snakes eventually consumed them
for nocturnal supper; squelching them to capriciously
worthless mincemeat,

When the mind erred; not following its regular rhythm
of existing in synergistic symbiosis with the
extraneously bountiful planet; it found itself
counting the last days of its life; in the realms of
dilapidated oblivion and gruesomely stabbing
starvation,

When the conscience erred; not following its regular
rhythm of harboring nothing else but the irrefutable
idol of truth; it was lambasted by the whips of
surreptitiously guilty hell; unfathomably penalized
for the remainder of its life,

When the breath erred; not following its regular
rhythm of holistically creeping in and out of the
intricately enchanting nostrils; it besieged the
individual with insurmountable spurts of insidiously
asphyxiated tension; eventually perpetuating him to
die,

But when the heart erred; not following its regular
rhythm of pragmatically monitored beats; throbbing
faster than the whirlwinds of divinely light; it
embraced the most wonderfully immortal ocean of
existence; it embraced the fireballs of everlasting
love…
