Do away with your conjectures
Those ephemeral hallucinations where you deify me
I’d rather shun being governed by apotheosis
And stick to an erring autonomous humanness!
You’ve condoned my minor offenses for too long now
Those forgivings must have clogged your morale
Shun me! Go on, shun my intimidating existence
Your unblemished horizon deserves my shadowings no more
Rebel, refute, rebut my replenishing resources
I’m guilty of tiring your dainty girlhood with those
And I regret to tell you for a fact –
“My abstruse anomalies were never analogous!”
This ruthless saboteur rummaging your confidence
Has found felicities to arm itself with
You have unknowingly become music
Played for my dance of delusion.
But may you be saved from vilified slanderings
Now recant thy vows to company
Liberate thyself from the quagmires of chauvinism
Salvage thine sanity from the quicksands of chagrin
Thou shan’t be trampled under my ‘Tandav’!

Yah...sathi. Tell me how you liked it, and more importantly who are you?
congrats for winning the first prize; your literary skills and knowledge of english is of much higher standard; i had to check the meaning of many of your words in a dictionary; no surprise that I still have a hard time understanding the meaning of it. please keep on writing more; I'll come back to read more of your beautiful creations.

Nanu,
Congratulations on this feat, I know this just one of many many more to come.
Why dont you write something with less heavy words :) and ask Prawol to compose.
Undoubtedly a good wordsmith you are.
For me here is the punch:
Liberate thyself fromteh quagmires of chauvinis
Salvage thie sanity from the quicksands fo charin
Thou shan't be trampled under my Tandav
Congrautulations for the award and the articulation!
