Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


I saw big shards of glass hurtle down the multi-floored building, 


i saw well oiled elevators bounce on cushioned spring, 


i saw sparkling river water transit black at Sunset, 


i saw spongy tufts of grass with gold patches of castor oil, 


i saw thin needle levers of watch complete clockwise journeys, 


i saw hungry street dogs devour chunks of left over meal, 


i saw steaming hot tea extract being poured in tapered glass mug, 


i saw expensive ball point refill full with condensed ink, 


i saw sandstone palaces basking in silver light of the moon, 


i saw boiled candy sweets in air tight bottles of blue crystal, 


i saw coiled python skin crushing its prey to death, 


i saw snow white shoes with jet black knotted laces, 


i saw emerald green coconuts containing ripened sweet water, 


i saw shabbily attired beggars with bruised metal bowls, 


i saw twin winged aircraft rolling on the carpeted tarmac, 


i saw an army of ant with food grain stuffed in their antenna, 


i saw gigantic fluffs of cotton leaking from dwarf potted plant, 


i saw barrels of kerosene stacked neatly at the grocery store, 


i saw a bunch of hard banana projecting from forked tree branch, 


i saw towering church spires with king sized bells of brass, 


i saw blood red wine adhering to polished interiors of champagne bottle, 


i saw power propelled water craft churning through the sea, 


i saw barbaric Tarzan swing merrily on twined bamboo roots, 


i saw dark grey lizards on infinite spots of house wall, 


i saw splendid portraits of articulately carved Indian God, 


i saw wooden bridges with side margins of puristic ivory, 


i saw hunch backed camel strolling through parched terrain of the desert, 


i saw frozen balls of snow tumble down slopes of the Swiss mountain, 


i saw ultra light butterflies float gently in moisture laden air, 


i saw brittle hen eggs simmering in intense fury of the gas flame, 


i saw fat cubes of molten cheese stored in cool comforts of the freezer tray, 


i saw square shaped sodium bulbs burning incessantly through the night, 


i saw gold rings studded with several diamonds cut in semicircular shape, 


i saw acres of farm land with straw stuffed statues of gruesome scarecrow, 


i saw a cluster of tiny wooden sticks coated with fillings of fire lead, 


i saw tablets of pink soap lying dormant on chipped slabs of marble, 


i saw toy fairy dolls with twin pairs of sapphire blue eyes, 


i saw heaps of black charcoal stashed within open spaces of timber wood, 


i saw live shows of stars in the London planetarium, 


i saw pools of achromatic saliva decaying in vicinity of hospital bed, 


i saw mammoth footsteps of elephant feet embedded in loose soil, 


i saw the stars twinkle in exuberance at the onset of twilight, 


i saw the sea waves rise to a crescendo as clouds wept torrential rain, 


i saw menacing vultures tearing away flesh stuck firmly to tender bones, 


i saw tantalizing black cloth fluttering in the rustic breeze, 


i saw streaks of deathly silver flash across the ravishing sky, 


i saw beads of multiple pearls pop out from humid recesses of oyster shell, 


i saw denim grey whales toppling huge assembly of concrete ship, 


i saw carved blades of ceiling fan flood the ambience with fresh air, 


i saw the gardener sprinkle tepid water on bald patches of mud, 


i saw the ambulance zip across the city at electric speeds, 


i saw gutter water oozing out from neglected pores of sewer drains, 


i saw the humming bee depositing gallons of sickening sweet nectar, 


i saw the cricket ball soaring high in the mass of lowly suspended cloud, 


i saw snake leather purse inhabiting pockets of cotton trouser, 


i saw gaudy colored posters projecting from air-conditioned cinema halls, 


i saw a battalion of soldiers marching through territories of upright thorn, 


i saw people beating drum with long sticks of sliced bamboo, 


i saw bundle of holy thread crisscrossed on sweaty palm, 


i saw frogs croaking noisily at amazing depths of the century old well, 


i saw wild shrub grow on barren landscapes after initial spells of rain, 


i saw sail boats containing fish tied to pier abutments, 


i saw the pouched kangaroo take volatile leaps through the jungle, 


i saw the mesmerizing idol of lord Buddha in stone and studded gold, 


i saw bicycle tyre trampling tons of compact earth road, 


i saw exquisite curtain drapery obscuring harsh rays of midday sun, 


i saw dark green leaves of full grown lotus flower, 


i saw the steep slope of the hair raising valley, 


i saw crumbs of bread slice roasting in heat compartments of the toaster, 


i saw icy bed sheets of lake water, 


i saw the mighty snatching wealth from the feeble and weak, 


i saw brutal terror prevalent in minute quarters of the globe, 


i saw the earth burdened by evil doings of fellow beings, 


i thought i had seen enough, 


my mind was bursting like a volcano with traces of hot lava, 


it was time to put brakes on weird mental imagery, 


reinforce intricate body mechanisms with, 


holistic amounts of blissful sleep.
