Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


When I tried to cross swirling waters of the river on threads of fragile paper, 


The contraption disdainfully broke midway; and I hurtled down at astounding speeds to blend with the cold water.


 


When I tried to clamber up the mighty edifice on threads of molten wax, 


I miserably failed in my daunting attempt; with the slurry of candle sucking me to the ground bottom.


 


When I hoisted myself on long thread of burnt plastic; frigidly dangling from unsurpassable heights of the mountain summit, 


The thread snapped into multiple fragments midway; and I plummeted down, into a concoction of wild stone and shrub.


 


When I tried to make merry; swaying on a swing impregnated with threads of mushroom, 


Cupid desires made me nibble at the fruit, and I fell with thunderous thuds on the floor, intermingled with the debris of the broken swing.


 


When I tried to visualize my entity in coagulated threads of shattered glass, 


The reflections appeared grotesquely distorted; prompting me to frivolously laugh at my demeanour.


 


When I tried to incinerate a crackling fire with threads of soggy cotton, 


The conflagration refrained from burning; and there arose weak flames of amber camouflaged in clouds of smoke.


 


When I tried to entangle my slender wrists from a jugglery of invincible iron thread, 


The outcome was abhorrently disgusting; my hands bled prolifically pulverizing my futile attempts of escape.


 


When I tried to perform the artistry of tight rope on a flaccid 


thread of chocolate candy, 


The cable snapped like scores of matchsticks; when caressed by 


gentle draughts of air.


 


When I tried invade through silken threads of the rustic spider web, 


Surplus arenas of my body got embossed with sticky cream; with the creature injecting paltry vials of poison in my flesh.


 


And eventually when I got bonded with incorrigible threads of her love, 


A plethora of apprehensions in life got mystically pacified; onerous difficulties in life transited to lucidly simple, 


My entire silhouette was draped in cloud showers of perennial love, 


And let me tell you friends; this thread of our celestial love was resistant to decay; didn't break for centuries immemorial.
