  An infinite anecdotes of gorgeously perennial prosperity; An infinite crutches of bizarrely debilitating and acrimoniously disastrous leprosy,

  An infinite meadows of tantalizingly tingling freshness; An infinite dungeons uxoriously dumped with pugnacious feces and ominously lackluster indolence,

  An infinite valleys of ingeniously royal inventions; An infinite fecklessly frigid and insipidly sedentary stones; lying crumpled beneath the cacophonically groaning donkey’s hide,

  An infinite roses of invincibly enamoring scent; An infinite whiplashes of unsavorily brutal dereliction and pathetically subjugating politics,

  An infinite castles bounteously overflowing with iridescently mesmerizing cisterns of gold and jubilant silver; An infinite infinitesimal mosquitoes digging their tentacles harder and harder into treacherously rotting shit,

  An infinite uninhibitedly fluttering birds impregnably ruling the fathomlessly crystal blue skies; An infinite preposterously diminutive ants; being blown into wisps of ethereal oblivion at the slightest innuendo of wind,

  An infinite rainbows of profoundly titillating reinvigoration; An infinite prison bars besmirched with vindictively diabolical prejudice and unendingly malicious ennui,

  An infinite winds of blisteringly indomitable victories; An infinite disparagingly disappearing and profane shadows of merciless betrayal,

  An infinite oceans of opulently milky pearls; An infinite iconoclastically ragged cobblestones leading to the gallows of unsparing extinction,

  An infinite venerated cries of the innocuously newborn; An infinite disheveled grey hair; which mightn’t sight yet another dawn,

  An infinite Lions patriotically marching with Kingly ease through the paradise of insuperable truth; An infinite insects being indiscriminately trampled by the advancing foot; for ostensibly no reason or rhyme,

  An infinite scriptures of pricelessly worshipped literature; An infinite hutments of gratuitously salacious illiteracy; existing fathomless kilometers beneath the poverty line,

  An infinite fortnights of timelessly blessing sensuousness; An infinite carcasses of ludicrously sordid infertility; inconsolably weeping all the time,

  An infinite heavens of ingratiatingly astounding proliferation; An infinite Hell’s where only torturously cold-blooded barbarism reigned hedonistically supreme,

  An infinite exotically propitious replenishments; An infinite tumultuously torrid deserts of limitlessly sub-servient thirst,

  And an infinite unassailably euphoric lives; An infinite despairingly violent and deliriously cruel deaths,

  Is what every ingredient of my blood ardently wanted to experience; for the spirit of Immortally unshakable and wonderfully mystical; poetry; poetry and

  Omnipresently magical Love Poetry.

   

  22. IF THE CLOUDS SHOWERED GOLD INSTEAD OF RAIN 

   

  If the clouds showered gold instead of rain; the minutest trace of poverty would be annihilated from earth, 

  The indigent beggars on the street would catapult in sheer ecstasy; stashing as much of coin as they ever dreamt of; in their ragamuffin bags. 

  If the clouds showered gold instead of rain; marriages round the globe would occur in chambers of impeccable silk, 

  With the bride extravagantly embellished in silken cloth; and the bridegroom completely bereft of the onerous tension to earn. 

  If the clouds showered gold instead of rain; the commoner would traverse on glistening roads of molded yellow, 

  The thieves would forget to pilfer; and the Mafia would forget to maraud; as they were now blessed with opulence right from the colossal sky. 

  If the clouds showered gold instead of rain; man would incorporate his house with gigantic slabs of the same, 

  Articulately sculpturing his plates of the gold; ravenously consuming his food from it; profoundly lost in the scintillating glitter. 

  If the clouds showered gold instead of rain; people would be saved from the tyranny of monotonous work, 

  Transit from realms of despondency to one replete with ebullience; easily perishing the desire to perspire and slog. 

  If the clouds showered gold instead of rain; clusters of birds would utilize gold in place of threadbare twigs to construct their nests, 

  The armory of their eggs would hatch in an ambience of ostentatious gold; blended with profuse opulence. 

  If the clouds showered gold instead of rain; abhorrent termites would tenaciously gnaw in their deadly pincers, 

  They would be treated to a ravishing meal of currency coin for a change; were absolutely delighted; after being used to painstakingly nibbling decayed wood.

  If the clouds showered gold instead of rain; severely afflicted patients would leave their disdainful hospital beds, 

  Run out rampantly on the streets refraining to rue their pain; spreading out their febrile palms to clasp the gold. 

  If the clouds showered gold instead of rain; the fighter pilots flying at unprecedented heights in the sky would forget to fire a fleet of hostile grenade, 

  They would be too busy to concentrate on the pugnacious war; open the door of the cockpit to get hold of the gold. 

  If the clouds showered gold instead of rain; every individual would feel overwhelmingly blessed initially; with the rigmarole and turmoil to work completely diminishing, 

  However the plants sprouting from soil would die a gruesome death; the animal kingdom would fatally relinquish breath; 

  And the most treasured species of man would disastrously succumb without crystal water; which was now replaced by gold in all forms and traces, 

  Therefore it is my humble plea to you O! Divine creator; to shower upon the earth bountiful rain; wherein lies impregnated abundantly; the true spirit and the true gold.

 

  23. ONLY THOSE – PART 2

  Only those who are perpetually blind; having their lives camouflaged in gruesome darkness,

  Can wholesomely realize the value of having pellucid eyes; the gift of

  mesmerizing sight. 

  Only those who are maimed; having their feet encapsulated in stirrups of solid steel,

  Can perceive the beauty of strong legs; the ensemble of delectably tiny toes treading on fresh chunks of earth. 

  Only those who are stone deaf; being oblivious to presence of the minutest of noise,

  Can cognize the importance of drifting voices; the blissful frequency of melodious sound. 

  Only those who are dumb; finding it virtually impossible to give substance to words,

  Can conceive the crispness of conversation; the splendor of clear speech. 

  Only those who are embodied with disdainful boils; tyrannizing disease rendering them as hapless lepers,

  Can envisage the grandeur of immaculate skin; the resplendent complexion sparkling profoundly under the sun. 

  Only those shivering in bizarre cold on the snow clad slopes; infinite strands of hair projecting in tandem on their skins,

  Can comprehend the heat generated by crackling fires; the warmth imparted in the interiors of dwellings. 

  Only those who are bald; without the most minuscule trace of follicles on their barren scalps,

  Can appreciate thick curls of entwined hair; the way they sometimes cascaded down in languid harmony. 

  Only those who are orphaned; being brutally kicked by the uncouth society at all quarters,

  Can apprehend the compassion emanating from the mother’s lap; her unblemished palms putting the exhausted soul to immortal sleep.

  Only those who are in intense affliction; being circumvented with inexplicable misery and pain,

  Can grasp the meaning of existing in conjunction with nature; the invincibly appearing smile. 

  And only those who are deprived of sharing; left unattended without the slightest essence of care,

  Can overwhelmingly blend with the spirit of true love; understand in entirety what it takes to fulfill it; lead life perennially wit
h the same.

 

 

  24. WHERE ON EARTH CAN I FIND 

   

  Where on earth can I find a lotus flower; without the slightest of redolence,

  Where on earth can I find an olive green coconut; without sweet kernel water,

  Where on earth can I find an ocean; without majestically swirling waves of saline solvent,

  Where on earth can I find a fleet of fat sheep; without infinite tufts of flocculent wool,

  Where on earth can I find a royal horse gallivanting through the fields; without triangular shaped copper hooves,

  Where on earth can I find a hooded reptile slithering through the dense forest; without lethal embodiments of poison,

  Where on earth can I find a bundle of immaculate cotton; without profuse traces of softness,

  Where on earth can I find an iridescent diamond; without a profoundly

  scintillating shine,

  Where on earth can I find a stick of green chili; without a tangy and piquant flavor,

  Where on earth can I find an infant; without obstreperously emanating cries,

  Where on earth can I find granules of pulverized sugar; without traces of lingering sweetness,

  Where on earth can I find a bird soaring high in the silken clouds; without tapered pairs of wings,

  Where on earth can I find an innocuous squirrel; without a long and bushy tail,

  Where on earth can I find a fulminating volcano; without producing tumultuous amounts of heat,

  Where on earth can I find a mammoth elephant; without flamboyant protrusions of wild tusks,

  Where on earth can I find a rainbow in the firmament of sky; without vivacious streaks of vivid color,

  Where on earth can I find an animate soul transgressing; without inhaling gallons of fresh air,

  Where on earth can I find a mother; without empathy for her newly born child,

  Where on earth can I find god; without a philanthropic disposition towards his disciples,

  And where on earth can I find a family; which hasn’t experienced the slightest of affliction; a family whose every single ancestor is yet breathing and alive? 

 

  25. BEAUTY NEEDS TO BE APPRECIATED 

   

  The Sun in the cosmos itself doesn’t know the omnipotence in its shine; the blazing yellow circumventing its persona,

  Its only when we profoundly admire its tenacity; the blistering heat it imparts to fumigate pallid earth; does it comes to realize that it is indeed beautiful. 

  The crimson colored rose itself doesn’t know the mesmerizing odor it emanates; the voluptuous complexion profusely embedded in its core,

  Its only when we cherish its enchanting fragrance; the stupendous sight it portrays when sighted at evanescent dawn; does it come to realize that it is indeed beautiful. 

  The star twinkling amidst naked patches of sky itself doesn’t know its shine; the radiance that envelops its incongruous silhouette,

  Its only when we applaud it for its resplendence; the illumination it provides in the chilly night; does it come to realize that it is indeed beautiful. 

  The boundless ocean itself doesn’t know about its infinite size; the unfathomable depth it incorporates in its belly,

  Its only when we exuberantly praise its swirling waves; ravishing froth striking the shores; scores of glistening white sharks swimming; does it come to realize that it is indeed beautiful. 

  The opalescent butterfly itself doesn’t know about its multicolored wings; the swishing tentacles extruding from beneath its eyes,

  Its only when we acclaim it for its nimble footed flight in the air; the delectable draughts of wind it engenders while flying; does it come to realize that it is indeed beautiful. 

  The vivacious reptile itself doesn’t know about its hiss; the mystically slithering body it possesses,

  Its only when we laud it for its tantalizingly shimmering skin; the remarkably transparent eyes; does it come to realize that it is indeed beautiful. 

  The obdurate shell of coconut itself doesn’t know about its stone shell; the incredulous heights it projects from on the tall tree,

  Its only when we value it for its appetizing juice; the immaculate and sumptuous pulp incarcerated in its walls; does it come to realize that it is indeed beautiful. 

  The slime-coated oyster itself doesn’t know about its wealth; the loose ferns agglutinated to its visage,

  Its only when we treasure it for its scintillating pearls; the rejuvenating salty water which ejects when we slice its body; does it come to realize that it is indeed beautiful. 

  The newly born infant itself doesn’t know about its innocuous heart; the tiny legs that caress its mother,

  Its only when we clap at it for mustering courage to walk; the frivolous smiles it does when tickled; does it come to realize that it is indeed beautiful. 

  Beauty is a virtue embodied in all of us transgressing through the surface of this earth; it is a blessing we are all born with,

  All though we remain indiscreetly oblivious to it; as we don’t admire it,

  Beauty is too precious to be neglected; too sacrosanct to be ignominiously condemned;  beauty needs to be appreciated.

  27. IN MY DREAMS 

   

  In my dreams I climbed mount Everest barefoot; reaching the summit
within flash seconds of time,
