Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


He who is afraid of stark darkness; is never accepted by brilliant daylight, 


 


He who is afraid of inexplicable pain; is never accepted by perennial joy, 


 


He who is afraid of barbaric betrayal; is never accepted by passionate fantasy and sizzling romance, 


 


He who is afraid of fulminating lava and blistering heat; is never accepted by rosy winter with moist ice cascading freely from the skies, 


 


He who is afraid of an ocean of augmenting tears; is never accepted by amicable smiles, 


 


He who is afraid of the fathomless expanse of a yawn; is never accepted by boisterous energy, 


 


He who is afraid of profound emptiness and more than a million hours of boredom creeping in; is never accepted by flowing time, 


 


He who is afraid of ghastly accidents occurring uncannily on the streets; is never accepted by electric paced race, 


 


He who is afraid of overwhelming work and rivers of perspiration dribbling out; is never accepted by frolic play, 


 


He who is afraid of ghosts and appalling horror; is never accepted by the stupendous angel, 


 


He who is afraid of blatant lies; is never accepted by the definitions of impeccable truth, 


 


He who is afraid of abashing abuse and an armory of unheard expletives; is never accepted by the sweet melody in sound, 


 


He who is afraid of the blanket cover of horrendous black; is never accepted by sparkling white, 


 


He who is afraid of scorching thirst; is never accepted by gushing rivers of white water, 


 


He who is afraid of licentious desires and the chapter of procreation; is never accepted by the domains of any religion, 


He who is afraid of violent whirlpools and tumultuous storms; is never accepted 


by the pleasant evening, 


 


He who is afraid of the hissing reptile; is never accepted by the chimneys of glittering gold, 


 


He who is afraid of crumbling in shambles on the ground; is never accepted by the twin pair of robust legs, 


 


He who is afraid of wholesome silence; is never accepted by the virtue of eloquent speech, 


 


He who is afraid of clusters of hideous fungus; is never accepted by the rubicund fruit, 


 


He who is afraid of tyrannical slavery; is never accepted by the royal 


and stupendously embellished throne, 


 


He who is afraid of indiscriminate massacre and bloodshed; is never accepted by immortal laughter, 


 


He who is afraid of decaying stench and dilapidated cobweb; is never accepted by 


the incredulously fragrant rose, 


 


He who is afraid of the new born infant; is never accepted by the prudently sagacious adult, 


 


He who is afraid of undulating and harsh sands of the desert; is never accepted 


by pure satiny silk, 


 


He who is afraid of infinite shards of broken glass; is never accepted by 


the handsomely scintillating mirror, 


 


He who is afraid of unprecedented starvation; is never accepted by ravishing 


morsels of tantalizing food, 


 


He who is afraid of mind boggling enigmas; is never accepted by the perfectly synchronized solution, 


 


He who is afraid of the unsurpassable depth of the valley; is never accepted by the plain terrain and rustic roads, 


 


He who is afraid of the rotten pile of disparaging garbage; is never accepted by the sacrosanct and holy Ganges, 


He who is afraid of the colossal and pugnacious battlefield; is never accepted by 


the apostle of peace, 


 


He who is afraid of stringently blaring music and an ambience of wandering wolves; is never accepted by the pious temple, 


 


He who is afraid of the devil and the towering giant; is never accepted by the Omnipotent creator, 


 


And he who is afraid of death and the morbid silhouette of corpse; is never 


accepted by mesmerizing life.
