1. I WANTED TO BREATHE, SLEEP, EAT WITH YOUR NAME 

 

I wanted to breathe your name each time I exhaled out air; impregnating the atmosphere with your mystical fragrance,

Facilitating your entity to settle; occupying all quarters of my cloistered room. 

 

I wanted to sight your name each time I opened my eyes; granting it a status of being blissfully omnipresent,

Making me thoroughly oblivious to the tyranny of the world; the ghastly incidences unleashing themselves on the crowded street. 

 

I wanted to hear your name each time sound drifted into my ears; transforming all other noise into your splendor,

Making your voice my song for the brilliant morning as well as my rhyme for the freezing night. 

 

I wanted to recite your name each time I opened my lips; circumventing my face with an inevitable smile,

Imparting rubicund color to the corners of my cheek; and an enchanting glow to the fortress of my teeth. 

 

I wanted to imprison your name each time I clenched my fists; keeping it forever locked in my embrace,

Shielding it wholesomely from nefarious looks of the world; the lechery of savage souls existing on this globe. 

 

I wanted to digest your name each time I consumed food; enabling me to keep you in proximity with my intestines,

Eventually becoming an indispensable constituent of my blood; circulating rambunctiously through my veins. 

 

I wanted to envisage your name each time I felt like dreaming; profoundly incorporating my mind with your mesmerizing images,

Catapulting me to unprecedented territories of paradise; the very instant I wanted too.

 

I wanted to incarcerate your name on my tongue each time I felt thirsty; to satiate the burning chords bouncing in my throat,

Celestially pacifying my desires; leading me to holistic pathways of spiritual healing. 

 

I wanted to write your name in grandiloquent bold letters each time my fingers itched to move; accentuating it profoundly on bonded paper,

Portraying the enlightening effect that it has; when sighted in embossed script. 

 

And I wanted to remember your name with the first beams of evanescent dawn; and the last minute before shutting my eyes,

Blessing me with loads of courage to fight the acerbic day; sleep as unperturbed as god in the ominous night.
