Nikhil Parekh Poems

Spurious are those who bombastically manipulate,
Hideous are those who barbarically cheat,
Pompous are those who capriciously brag,
Surreptitious are those who devilishly flirt,

Even though I ran boundless kilometers on the trot; with the Sun flaming full throttle on the nimble pores of my visage,
Sleep still incorrigibly defied my eyes; even as my legs as heavy as the overwhelmingly gargantuan mountain range; inundated with acrid thorns.

Even though I indefatigably read all throughout the heart of the sultry night; with the whites of my eyes metamorphosing to an ominously venomous red,
...

I was fed up of being parasitically dependant,
Not of my irrevocable weight; inevitably squelching loose chunks of soil as I walked.

I was fed up of being worthlessly pampered,
...

I can give you my life; precious years of my overwhelmingly sacred existence; at the tiniest of your commands,

The more incessantly that you taxed it; the more incomprehensibly sharper did it become; as the minutes unfurled,
...

The water when imprisoned within the crystalline walls of mock glass; profusely abused you for mischievously toying and consuming it,
However the same imparted unprecedented showers of untamed exhilaration; as you left it to cascade freely from the slopes of the mesmerizing Himalayas.

The birds when imprisoned within diabolical bars of circus cage; wept a thousand tears; fervently missing their counterparts soaring merrily amidst the clouds,

There were times when I held dogmatically back my sleep; even though my disastrously beleaguered eyes felt like forever popping out of their brutally tyrannized sockets,

There were times when I irretrievably held back my smiles; even though the corners of my lips miserably ached to profoundly blossom; till times beyond majestically glorious eternity,
