Nikhil Parekh - Indian Poet


I was the jewel of your mystical eyes; the infinite clusters of eyelashes drooping down from your lids, 


While you were my ability to see; my omnipotent power of sight.


 


I was the glow that encapsulated your lips; the luscious color that made them poignantly scarlet, 


While you were tinkling laughter; the smile that besieged the contours of my face till eternity.


 


I was the unprecedented number of cells that lingered in your brain; the network of membranes that made it function blissfully, 


While you were my virtue to prudently discriminate; the immortal strength of my memory.


 


I was your rubicund tongue; the gallons of free saliva circulating ecstatically in your palette, 


While you were my mesmerizing voice; my invincible prowess of eloquent speech.


 


I was your intricate veins; the dainty flesh that entrenched them in entirety, 


While you were the golden droplets of sweat that oozed from my arms; the


crimson blood traversing ferociously through my body.


 


I was your ears; the globules of impeccable flesh dangling nimbly across your


cheek, 


While you were my ability to decipher the most ethereal of sound; my tenacity to hear and tolerate ignominious rebukes of the society.


 


I was your stomach; the conglomerate of intestines incoherently entwined inside, 


While you were the sumptuous food residing there; putting me contentedly into


a tranquil slumber.


 


I was your dainty feet; the spongy toes protruding symmetrically from within deep recesses of your supple skin, 


While you were my energy to surge forward; my unrelenting fervor to bounce ahead in life.


 


I was your hands; the delectable armory of fingers which harmoniously moved to


accomplish scores of Herculean tasks, 


While you were the lines embedded in the center of my palm; the path which portrayed and executed my destiny.


 


 


And I have no inhibitions revealing that I was your heart; the air which you inhaled; the breath that escaped with an exhilarated gasp from your nostrils, 


While you were the beats that made my heart violently throb; the pulse that trembled placidly in my wrists; the very purpose for which I was breathing and alive this second; and would retain life for many more hours to unwind.
