Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


If I was a blind man; with indispensable jewels in my eye gruesomely scarred, 


With a colossal island of darkness besieging me in entirety; prompting me to grope like an imbecile animal on the crowded street, 


I would recognize you in millions; by the cadence of your mesmerizing voice.


 


If I was born stone deaf; unable to decipher the most thunderous of sound, 


Sitting unperturbed with tranquil ease; even after witnessing the vociferous roar


of a shattering earthquake, 


I would recognize you in millions; by your articulately molded features; and your celestial smile.


 


If I was existing as perpetually dumb; deprived of the ability to produce sound, 


Grant stupendous impetus to words; converting them into eloquent speech, 


I would recognize you in millions; by the astoundingly striking honey brown


pigments in your eye.


 


If I was disdainfully crippled; traversing through the scraggy streets; resting entirely on my angular hands, 


Unable to stand vertically on my mutilated feet; scrutinizing the gargantuan building


kneeling low towards the earth, 


I would recognize you in millions; by the shape of your mystically carved dainty feet.


 


If I was born squint eyed; with intricate arenas of my face appearing comically


distorted, 


Sighting a single person as twins; being beaten up on infinite an occasion by apathetic individuals, 


I would recognize you in millions; by the softness and tenderness of your ravishing hair.


 


If I had a mask camouflaging my face; obliterating my sight even from the 


faintest traces of light, 


With gigantic plugs of cotton stuffed uncouthly in my ears; rendering me worse than being deaf or blind, 


I would still recognize you in millions; by the fragrance of your enchanting body.


 


And If I was wholesomely intact; with all parts of my demeanor functioning to bountiful capacity, 


Several gallons of blood circulating boisterously through my finely chiseled veins, 


I would recognize you in millions; as my heart would beat turbulently the instant I passed you.
