Life = Death

Nikhil Parekh

This book is a humble attempt to enlighten all with the equality of life and death--and to live in both of them to the fullest.

 

This is a 1200 pages poetry book .

This enigmatic collection of poems explores and equates the boundless possibilities of life and death and delves into each intricate inexplicability of survival. Parekh's roving philosophical eye brings the unconquerable richness of life to the fore and yet at the same time explicitly highlights the veracity of 'death' as the absolute certainty of every existence. The poet joyously celebrates the occasions of both life and death with equal panache in each poetic stanza sewn with the uncanny mysteries of this Universe. The poems within immortalize both life and death as the ultimate victories and the two most contrastingly amazing and divine sides of creation. Catapulting the reader to the threshold of ultimate ecstasy; they bring about an impromptu twist with the closure of breath and what lies beyond. This charismatically woven collection of poetic verse would equally enamor the narcissist as well as the simple humanitarian to the core.

Veritable death mine

VERITABLE DEATH MINE 
 
 
 
 

My mind was like the fulminating volcano; which kept

on passionately erupting; even after the entire earth

had blissfully slept,

My mind was like an uninhibitedly philandering

panther; which thunderously roared each unfurling

second of the day,

My mind was like a turbulently swirling ocean; which

culminated each instant into a flurry of violent

waves,

My mind was like the poignant whirlpool of sand; which

evolved at cyclonic speeds; sweeping across the

fathomless deserts inevitably every afternoon,

My mind was like the blazing inferno; which kept

augmenting to astronomical heights with each nimble

stroke of the brazen wind,

My mind was like the hideously savage vulture; whose

hunger arose the very next moment; after it had just

devoured its previous bit of robust carrion,

My mind was like the indefatigably running spider;

which didn’t rest for even a minuscule minute;

entrenched and wavering amidst the silvery strands of

its web,

My mind was like streaks of white lightening which

profusely enveloped the sky; creating insanely havoc

on the whatever space they fell,

My mind was like infinite clouds sprawled vindictively

in the cosmos; creeping up every day to try and

camouflage vivacious rays of brilliant light,

My mind was like the unstoppably perennial stream;

which leapt and swelled; irrespective of the

acrimonious battalion of barricades that confronted it

in its celestial way,

My mind was like the plane which inexorably kept

flying all its life; without stooping down a fraction;

or caressing the tarmac with its spongy sheath of

wheels,

My mind was like the mystical echo which reverberated

countless number of times; after ephemerally clashing

against the formidably boundless valley,

My mind was like the lethally bouncing striped shark;

which unrelentingly surged forward with hostile

euphoria even in the middle of the perilously gloomy

night,

My mind was like the centuries old grandfather clock;

which continued to tirelessly tick; irrespective of

the most deadliest of holocaust or rain,

My mind was like the deafening thud of the dinosaurs

foot; which kept going on and on for times immemorial;

even after the monster had become remotely obsolete

and wholesomely extinct,

My mind was like the globules golden sweat; which kept

incorrigibly trickling down the arms; even after

applying the most profound balm of stupendously

redolent scent,

My mind was like the unfathomably deep well; which

indeed did have an opening; but there simply seemed no

end,

My mind was like the tangible population; which

perpetually kept increasing as each second unveiled

into a full fledged minute

In the end it is my humble plea to you; O! Almighty

Creator; not to give people a mind like mine; for

although I had developed an intrinsic bondage with its

vagaries over a period of time; for others it could

very well prove to a veritable death mine….

Are these all your work?
Because they do not seem consistent with the poor command of English that you exhibit in the forums.

Care to swap books with my book "Lonely Mountain Sonnets and Other Poems"?

Have to agree with the previous reviewer. It's a bit of an assault on the senses. A bit too overwhelming.
I would suggest a lot of practice with shorter poems.

Best wishes.
