Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


I thought of nose diving from the 100th floor of the edifice, 


shivered incessantly when perched right on the top, 


abruptly changed my decision as i stared in deathly horror, 


at the fathomless distance between the ground and my silhouette. 


 


i visualized trespassing through amber flames of the bonfire, 


as they licked barren arenas of the misty blue sky, 


i vehemently changed my outlook; as i actually felt their savage heat, 


refrained from venturing even miles near the conflagration. 


 


i perceived chewing brittle shards of broken glass, 


disintegrating them firmly with my teeth, 


dreaded visions of blood gushing from chambers in mouth engulfed me, 


as i formally held a solitary chunk of glass in my palms, 


prompting me to dismiss the obnoxious idea from my mind. 


 


i envisaged riding on the silken body of blue ocean whale, 


admiring the scenic beauty of the captivating Atlantic, 


ghastly images of its canine teeth petrified me in entirety, 


with hollow kingdoms of its mouth relishing my bones, 


causing me to instantaneously relinquish the fantasy before it took firm roots. 


 


i imagined conversing with the magnanimous princess, 


floating high in the clouds with her mesmerizing grace, 


i then looked down at the torn lace of my shoe, infinite stains in my vest, the emptiness of my purse, 


the visions of blossoming romance died there itself, 


and i admonished my mind stringently saying to myself, 


that fantasy seldom becomes reality.
