Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


When I boiled squalid mushroom and glittering diamonds together in a cauldron; 


placing it above crackling flames of the fire, 


The residue obtained contained profound traces of radiating yellow; annihilating even the most minuscule trace of the black vegetable.


 


When I boiled fetid sewage along with fragrant petals of crimson rose; above


the naked flames of the stove, 


The residue obtained had no sight of dirt; all It emanated was an Omnipotent


essence of the flower.


 


When I boiled ominous scorpion sting with innocuous butter; roasting the same


over long rods of blistering iron, 


The residue obtained looked as brilliant as the sacerdotal body of Sun; and there were simply no signs of the lethal poison.


 


When I boiled extracts of the tarnished politicians speech with the martyrs blood; simmering it on the smoke rising from the cooking range, 


The residue obtained had an overwhelming aroma of the valiant soldier; with


every scrap of the leader's notes dying an instantaneous death.


 


When I boiled acrimonious thorns along with velvety blades of grass; shaking


the mixture profusely over the chimney fire, 


The residue obtained had stringently acquired an accentuated olive color of grass; and the pointed shoots were now converted into soft sponge as an aftermath.


 


When I boiled obnoxious petrol along with gallons of fresh liquid; placing the


same above a conflagration of seasoned timber sticks, 


The residue obtained was as impeccable as spring water; with the pugnacious


odor of the gasoline drowning a ghastly death.


 


When I boiled parasitic leech along with the succulent cherry; placing them on


a conglomerate of scorching leaves, 


The residue obtained was as scarlet as evanescent dawn; with a mesmerizing


smell of the fruit wafting in the air; and all signs of the worm disappearing into slim oblivion.


 


When I boiled frozen cubes of ice along with repugnant green chili; placing the same in boiler room of a ship, 


The residue obtained contained bountiful rivulets of water; with the animosity of the hostile weed melting inevitably with the ice.


 


When I boiled omnipresent God along with the diabolical devil; placing them


under fiery rays of the rising Sun, 


The residue in store was the omniscient Creator standing tall and domineering


emitting his perpetual scent; with the satanic monster pulverized to 


inconspicuous ash.


 


And when I boiled love with prejudiced hatred; keeping the same to burn in sweltering heat of the desert, 


The residue obtained had fathomless waves of perennial love; naturally overshadowing anecdotes of baseless abhorrence.
