Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


The fish slithering in the claustrophobic swimming tank; had a


nostalgia for swirling waters of the gargantuan ocean, 


 


The flower sprouting from the cloistered pot; had a nostalgia for


growing in farm soil; with an ambience of wind blowing tenaciously, 


 


The spider crawling in dingy corners of the dilapidated mansion; had a nostalgia for traversing through vivacious threads of web; dangling from trees in the amazon  forest, 


 


The crimson beaked bird incarcerated in grilled cage; had a nostalgia


for flapping its wings exuberantly in the sky, 


 


The blistering lava imprisoned at unprecedented depths beneath the


ground; had a nostalgia to fulminate into infinite fountains in fresh air, 


 


The globules of fat moisture trapped in ominous thunder clouds; had a


nostalgia for cascading down rampantly in the form of glistening rain, 


 


The biscuits of glittering gold embedded in dilapidated dungeons; had a


nostalgia for; people admiring them in dazzling rays of the sun, 


 


The lifeless panther embodied in the mammoth photograph; had a nostalgia for


coming out alive; open his jaws in a domineering growl, 


 


The blind man traversing on the streets with a disdainful stick; had a nostalgia for sighting the world; fantasizing it in its most stupendous form ever, 


 


The battalion of frogs in the solitary and deep well; had a nostalgia for bathing in pools of monsoon water, 


 


The hunch backed camel trespassing through the crowded city streets; had a


nostalgia for wandering languidly in the sandy desert, 


 


The diminutive flames of wax candle stifling with the slightest of breeze; had


a nostalgia for being the escalating flames of a crackling fire, 


 


The granules of white salt jailed tightly in pellucid bottles; had a nostalgia


for being sprawled on the saline sea shores, 


 


The scientists stalling for time on marshy soil; had a nostalgia every minute


for inhabiting the opalescent moon, 


 


The tones of noxious gas encapsulated in an inflated balloon; had a nostalgia


for whistling past the air at lightening speeds, 


 


The pallid milk stored in canisters of rusty iron; had a nostalgia for oozing out from blossoming teats of the sacrosanct cow, 


 


The people residing in alien countries; had a nostalgia for returning back as quickly as possible to blend with their native mud, 


 


The orphaned child wailing incoherently on the dusty roads; had a nostalgia for embracing his departed mother, 


 


And every palpable entity treading on this earth; had a nostalgia for finding its soul mate; languishing in the aisles of desire and perpetual relationship; till the time it inhaled air and blissfully existed.
