Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


When you smiled; it seemed that a million lotuses fell on the parched territory of earth, 


 


When you cried; the waves in the ocean clashed flirtatiously with the blazing chain of rocks, 


 


When you sang; the birds in the jungle forgot to chirp and a celestial 


silence descended all over, 


 


When you ate; the most abhorrent appearing logs of charcoal seemed like golden nectar, 


 


When you wrote; the most nonchalant of literature seemed like a string of shimmering pearls, 


 


When you danced; all gods in heaven gathered to watch in stunned silence, 


 


When you yawned; there seemed to be a valley of eternal bliss right down your throat, 


 


When you were naughty; it seemed as if the most heinous of criminals around 


you were small children, 


 


When you perspired; it seemed as if the melody in your aroma pacified the most tumultuous of turmoil, 


 


When you winked; it seemed as if springs of white froth gushed down the pristine slopes in lazy tandem, 


 


When you walked; it seemed as if a cluster of fairies had fallen from the sky to permanently inhabit the earth, 


 


When you slept; it seemed that the most glittering of gold was showered 


unrelentingly from the cosmos, 


 


When you bathed; it seemed as if shriveled and decayed beauty in this world had taken a new birth, 


 


When you shivered; it seemed as if the mesmerizing night had forgotten to unveil into the sweltering day, 


 


When you sneezed; it seemed as if lost charm and exuberance flooded back into the atmosphere, 


When you blushed; it seemed as if silver bolts of lightening plummeted from the sky igniting multiple fires even in frozen water, 


 


When you screamed; it seemed as if the profoundly gloomy ambience exploded in fury; to illuminate the blackness, 


 


When you stared; it seemed that all the uncouth and barbaric activities were replaced by unparalleled innocence and empathy, 


 


And when you breathed; I felt that I was re-born; and as each breath of yours caressed my skin; I felt myself more and more entangled in the bonds of your 


romance.
