While in real life my feet trembled in the snow; and I relinquished the expedition midway; safely returning home.
In my dreams I pulverized unbaked bricks into infinite splinters; with the mere caress of my hands,
While in real life the conglomerate of bones in my hands developed a factory of crack; after I succeeded doing the same; taking intervals to inhale long breaths.
In my dreams I stood clad in threadbare attire; in bold confrontation with the striped panther; trying to subdue his thunderous growl,
While in real life I clambered up the nearby tree at electric speeds; in order to save my skin getting ruthlessly stripped by the beast.
In my dreams I philandered with the most beautiful women on earth; profoundly admiring their charisma; lured by their mystical grace and charm,
While In real life I refrained from doing so; due to sheer terror of my domineering spouse.
In my dreams I ate the most sumptuous of meals; drank stupendously ravishing grape vine,
While in real life I had to remain contented with minuscule fillings of rice blended with curd; with the occasional chunk of raspberry bread.
In my dreams I basked in the sunshine on the roof of the glistening palace; feasting my eyes on the panoramic view of the blueberry hills; with a fleet of professionals massaging my silhouette,
While in real life I got up with aching bones from my indigenous cot; took the acrimonious rays of sun directly in my hazel eyes.
In my dreams I envisaged myself as an enchanting singer; alluring scores of crowd by the mesmerizing melody in my voice,
While in real life the ones in vicinity abhorrently closed their ears; unable to bear the tyranny of my hoarse and masculine sound.
In my dreams I saw blank checks strewn in bountiful abundance around my demeanor; waiting ardently for my signature and the amount I wished to withdraw,
While in real life I slogged like a bull all sweltering day; didn’t have the capacity of handling the parchment; let alone signing one.
In my dreams I perceived white water streams gushing past my entrance gate;
diffusing their spray with poignant alacrity on my face,
While in real life I had the fetid gutter flowing rampantly past my doorsteps; with an irascible odor wafting; which made me unrelentingly sneeze.
In my dreams I watched enticing films on grandiloquent screens studded with articulate diamonds; whose scintillating glare was a trifle difficult for my eyes to absorb,
While in real life there lay a dilapidated television beside my bed; displaying pictures in spiceless black and white; intentionally distorting the intricate images.
In my dreams I saw ostentatious cars lined up my porch; with the drivers seat made of satin sponge,
While in real life all I had was a bicycle with an aboriginal bell; and the capricious brakes failing I needed them the most.
In my dreams I saw angels from the sky cajoling me; cuddling me in the ribs;
reciting historic fables of love and beautiful splendor,
While in real life I had the ominous eyes of my employer staring down at me menacingly; expecting ingenious policies that would change the complexion of his bedraggled business.
In my dreams I incessantly fantasized spending marathon hours with the girl I loved
drowning inexorably into the ocean of her immaculate love,
While in real life there were a mountain of barricades which separated us; prevented us from fulfilling our desires.
Therefore it is my humble plea to you O! Divine Creator; to sequester me from acerbic realities of mundane life,
Let me voraciously romanticize; let me be in the colossal kingdom of my dreams.
28. IT WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL
It was perfectly normal to burst into pools of uninhibited laughter; after witnessing a garishly painted clown,
It was perfectly normal to hysterically sob; at the death of someone you vehemently revered,
It was perfectly normal to trip head-on on your nose; after walking through a puddle of slushy grease,
It was perfectly normal to tenaciously scratch your scalp; when snow white beads of dandruff camouflaged them in entirety,
It was perfectly normal to purse your lips profusely; after swallowing a sumptuously appetizing meal,
It was perfectly normal to thunderously sneeze; when disdainful granules of incongruous dust entered your nose,
It was perfectly normal to shiver; when you stood bare chested in freezing currents of bizarre winter,
It was perfectly normal to collapse in a bedraggled heap; when you carried a mountain of mud on your slender shoulder,
It was perfectly normal to blush like a scarlet complexioned rose; when you were caught red-handed trying to blatantly flirt with a girl,
It was perfectly normal to pound your fists in raw indignation; when you were encompassed from all sides with unfathomable frustration,
It was perfectly normal to perspire; when you worked arduously under sizzling
rays of the Sun,
It was perfectly normal to yawn; when your lids felt overwhelmingly heavy; your body felt drowned in waves of exhaustion,
It was perfectly normal to be insatiably greedy; when you prevailed in an ambience besieged with unprecedented poverty,
It was perfectly normal to experience tingling sensations; after you lazily philandered amidst stalks of nimble grass,

It was perfectly normal to feel stabbed by tremors of lust; when you were in the vicinity of stupendous beauty,
It was perfectly normal to scream in the middle of night; when your dwelling was struck by the vicious onslaught of an earthquake,
And It was perfectly normal to commit a plethora of blunders and errors in the course of your life as a human being; as long as you existed in blissful synergy with nature; wholesomely revered the God who created you; ardently adored the Mother who gave you birth; fervently loved the girl who made you feel you were living and breathing alive.
29. ONLY AFTER
Bathing in an chilled ocean of champagne; consuming small sips of the same
with stupendous relish,
Climbing the peak of the snow clad alps; feasting the panoramic view of the
gorgeous valley,
Driving flamboyant cars at whirlwind speeds; wildly careening through the
colossal expanse of the highway,
Impulsively sketching intricate shapes of brave stalwarts; portraying their charisma to the mundane world,
Tenaciously biting into obdurate chunks of farm apple; reducing the succulent fruit to pulp,
Voraciously rolling in a slurry of wet mud; getting intensely tickled by the poignant aroma,
Riding on bare camelback through the arid regions of the desert; profoundly enjoying the golden sands,
Scrubbing my entire silhouette with an extract of piquant green chili; breathing fumes of boiling gas from my nose,
Embellishing my spouse with the most exquisite of jewelry; inundating her parted hair with crimson vermilion,
Gyrating to blasting music diffusing from the discotheque; swirling uninhibitedly till wee hours of evanescent dawn,
Decoding the most baffling of enigmas; innovating a plethora of contrivances to assist the commoner,
Soaring high in the air strapped tightly to an inflated balloon; whistling in unison with the passing birds,
Swimming onerously against the high rising waves; swallowing pinches of frothy
water in my famished mouth,
Staring unrelentingly at the sapphire s
ky; trying to unveil the vagaries of
life in the twinkling stars,
Roasting a battalion of sumptuous fish on hot embers of coal; chewing the same
scrupulously entangling the pointed bones,
Languishing sedately on a mattress of pure silk; bouncing sporadically on the
flocculent cotton,
Perspiring like a pig under the sweltering heat of Sun God; bustling robustly in the fervor of youth,
Gallivanting on the streets casually attired; passing chivalrous smiles to all I encountered,
Amalgamating torn pieces of rags; meticulously with the metallic bodkin,
Molding threadbare lumps of greasy wax; into a grandiloquent statue,
Garrulously conversing the entire day with innocuous children; reminiscing my childhood days,
Pinching swollen paper bags with my nail; thereby producing obstreperous bangs,
Polishing the enamel of my teeth incessantly with rustic sticks of tree bark; granting them a perpetual sparkle,
Embossing infinite lines of calligraphy on bonded paper; transforming its pallid persona into one embedded with literary compositions,
Inscribing her name on my chest with a switchblade; imprisoning her close to my heart,
Philandering across umpteenth places of the globe; absorbing the enchanting mysticism of natural forest,
Serving humanity with all my might; extending my services to all those deprived of indispensable vision,
Yes this is no kidding; the above mentioned blended with bountiful more,
Only after which I would like to relinquish breath; and leave for my heavenly abode.
30. GRILLS
When I riveted a grill of pure gold across my window; the burglars stared
unrelentingly; thinking I was overwhelmingly rich,
They whispered in inaudible tones about the wealth; they envisaged was stored
inside,
Delicately chiseled the grill with their axe; and dexterously pilfered all they could lay their hands on.
When I put a grill of silver bars across my window; the mouths of the burglars
slavered at witnessing the gleam,
They abandoned their other plans of robbery; intensely concentrating on my house,
Imagining the wonderful goods inside; and indiscriminately barged in snapping
the grill.
When I embedded a grill of immaculate ivory across my window; the burglars had
a hard time stifling their startled gasps,
They admired the rustic charm I had incorporated in an innocuous window; contemplating my real wealth,
Atrociously smashed the same with their bludgeons; to savor the taste of my hidden resources.
When I stuck a grill of scintillating and pellucid mirror across my window; the burglars were busy gazing at their reflections,
Thoroughly mesmerized by the transparent grill; the richness that lay blended in the sparkling glass,
Smashed the same into splinters using hard stone; gaining easy access into
my chamber of dreams.
When I used a grill of fragrant rosewood across my window; the burglars got
insatiably tickled by the aroma,
They didn’t feel like budging an inch; drowned in the celestial aroma,
Later broke the same using slender sticks of explosives; intruded upon the
privacy of my nocturnal bedroom.
When I fixed a grill of barbed wire charged with electric current across my
window; the burglars were simply intrigued by the contrivance,
They perceived me to me astoundingly clever; pondered profoundly on
annihilating my automatic device,
Did the same with clinical precision; abhorrently transgressing through my
solitary dwelling.
It then when I decided to have no grill at all; kept the colossal space of window absolutely bare to peep,
The burglars passing didn’t even notice; dismissing all thoughts of me
possessing the slightest of affluence; ridiculing my threadbare disposition,
They had other houses to sabotage on their list; it was the first time they spared me from possible harm,
And I snored blissfully all night; laughing in my dreams and saying; to stay
without a grill is far better than having one.
31. AFTER A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
My eyes felt overwhelmingly revitalized; with their focus seeming to be crystal clear,
The network of bones in my body seemed to be well oiled; with that extra ounce
of energy incarcerated,
The breath flowing through my nostrils was holistically pure; without the slightest trace of impurity,
Sweat glands under my arms had started producing fresh perspiration,
The mass of curly hair on my palms had stood up alert; with pungent alacrity,
There seemed to be melodious sounds congruously humming in my eardrum; as an
aftermath of nocturnal dream,
Scarlet blood circulating through my veins had acquired a lighter tinge; and now flowed with pumped exuberance,
Dried crusts of dirt lined my eyelashes; which I wiped off ecstatically with my nail,
A serene calm now besieged my stomach; after onerous turmoil of the previous day,
Languid yawns now occurred; impregnating my demeanor with robust spurts of exhilaration,
The flesh circumventing my chest glistened all the more profoundly in golden rays of the sun,
New buds of taste had sprouted in clusters on my tongue; producing tantalizing sensations in my mouth,
The fortress of my teeth seemed to be fortified and strong enough; to masticate the hardest of coconut shell,
There was a perfect co-ordination between the mind and brain; a perpetual harmony which harnessed constructive thought flow,
Bouts of intense infuriation had dwindled substantially, replaced by the tendency to gently caress the grass and care,
The clouds had never seemed so blue before; and the Sun had never seemed as
dazzling as I could spot it now,
There was passion to work; gleeful run and perspire profusely in the heat,
My voice reverberated loud and stringently from my throat; blended with a perfect crispness to project authority,
All the laziness now seemed to have vanished into thin oblivion; with the last
trace of dreariness thoroughly annihilated,
Mind you there was no mystery behind this; I had slept like a hooded monster
last night; with thunderous snores piercing the stillness of air,
And as the first rays of dawn hit my eyes; I possessed unprecedented strength
to fulfill my duties; love with reinvigorated vigor the ones I ardently admired.
32. IN THE EYES OF HATRED
In the conglomerate of sinister clouds; there lay hidden twinkling stars,
Which emitted brilliant ramifications as the sky cleared; mystically illuminating the atmosphere.
In the dense clusters of green leaves; there lay hidden the incongruously
sculptured branch,
Which was thoroughly elastic with succulent juice oozing; and provided adequate nutrition to the leaves.
In colossal slopes of the treacherous mountain terrain; there lay hidden infinite tunnels; sequestered from acerbic rays of the Sun,
In which resided scores of innocuous rabbit; as well as a fleet of wailing wolf.
In the hostile fangs of poisonous reptile; there lay hidden a hissing sound,
Which permeated the ambience with waves of enchantment; indispensably captivating the attention of all animals in vicinity.
In the blistering rays of flaming sun; there lay hidden resplendent tinges of rich gold,
Which depicted its natural splendor; the mesmerizing spell that it had cast for centuries unprecedented on this earth.
In the ocean of sizzling lava strewn rampantly circumventing the volcano; there lay hidden crimson colored fumes,
Which painstakingly arose in the air; eventually blending with the firmament of sky.
In the diabolical silhouette of wild elephant; there lay hidden twin pairs of gleaming tusks,
Which bore their way vehemently through the jungle outgrowths; portraying their magnanimous glory to all.
In every rivulet of the intensely polluted stream; there lay hidden sweet mineral water,
If only it was scrupulously recycled; stringently annihilating disdainful impurities impregnated in its persona.
In the body of every little child wandering on this earth; there lay hidden the Omniscient God,
As immaculate as virgin milk dribbling from cow teats; with the entire universe distinctly visible in the impeccable mouth.
