You Die; I Die - Love Poems - Part 2 by Nikhil Parekh - HTML preview

32. THE ONLY PERSON 

Even If an inconspicuous particle of dust entered your eye; making you

wildly scratch with your tender palms,

That very moment I would go completely blind; wholesomely abdicating

the ability to perspicuously see.

Even if you tripped inadvertently on the floor; slightly bruising the

skin on your fragile shoulders,

That very moment I would collapse on the ground; developing a series of

multiple fracture in my feet.

Even if you coughed a trifle; as an aftermath of poignant pepper encompassing your nostrils,

That very moment I would have unrelenting bouts of rapid breathing; incessantly sneeze till the time my eyes popped out of their sockets.

Even if you perceived a baseless fear; of drizzling rain water disdainfully drenching you,

That very moment I would gruesomely drown in the colossal ocean; incorrigibly

refraining to steer my way up the surface.

Even if you tossed and turned petulantly on the bed for a few minutes;

before falling into a sound slumber,

That very moment I would irrevocably stare into black space; keeping

awake the entire night like a dreaded insomniac.

Even if you banged your robust fists softly into the wall; expressing

your profound indignation at getting late for office,

That very moment I would put my hands under the springing axe;

pulverizing them into infinite splinters of bone.

Even if you contracted a minuscule infection; with the imbalance in

your body disappearing within a few hours of stringent medication,

That very moment I would have astronomically high levels of tribal

fever; with the entire of my silhouette burning like a piece of red coal.

Even if you got an iota pierced; by the irascible mosquito

unceremoniously hovering around,

That very moment I would be bitten by swarms of stinging bees;

inserting their venomous tentacles into my cheeks.

Even if you felt a little suffocated; wading through the claustrophobic

queues for the railway ticket,

That very moment I would relinquish breath in perpetual entirety; and

my heart would cease to throb in its cavity.

All this is because you are the only person I have profoundly loved

in my life sweetheart; the only deity I worship and adore,

And as every breath of yours unleashes; mine gets automatically a million times faster.
