When I stood on the summit of the fabulously
fathomless valley; feasting on beams of majestically
pearly moonlight; as it kissed the trees and the
untamed wilderness,
I was greedy for plunging into it head on; romancing
with each leaf submerged in a blanket of dewdrops; and
the enthralling breeze as my ultimate savior…
When I irrevocably stuck in the disdainfully
claustrophobic traffic; the cacophonic horns and
unruly smoke nearly asphyxiating me to veritable
death,
I was greedy for possessing ebullient wings to fly;
soaring high in the clouds; in an entrenchment of
poignant beauty and seductive enchantment….
When I was stranded on the sands of the sweltering
desert; being tyrannically lambasted by whirlwinds of
turbulent dust,
I was greedy for tantalizing globules of crystal
water; frantically groping in the tumultuous
maelstrom; as acrid whips of mud obfuscated my vision
in entirety…
When I was engulfed by perpetual silence; the ghastly
graveyards of solitude strangulating the very essence
of exuberance from my soul,
I was greedy for a stupendously melodious voice;
miraculously pacifying my unfathomable terrain of
wounded nerves; with sounds of bliss and untamed
happiness….
When I sat on the doorstep of the appetizing kitchen;
a boundless ocean of salubrious scent indefatigably
titillating my famished nostrils,
I was greedy for rhapsodic morsels of insatiably
delicious food; transiting me perennially into a sky
of heavenly slumber…
When I was on the gloriously scintillating sea shores;
the incomprehensibly tangy waves teasing me every now
and again with their unrelenting festoon of
charismatic froth,
I was greedy for a heartily voracious swim; wading
across the turbulently choppy froth; into a world of
bountifully ravishing excitement….
When I was in the unfathomably dark dungeons;
tornado’s of alluring mysticism; tingling my
impoverished countenance from all sides,
I was greedy for intransigent encounters with spell
binding enigma; the hissing of the voluptuous
reptiles; catapulting me into a land above exotic
paradise…
When I was in the impeccable lap of my mother; her
sacrosanct palms dawdling away all the tensions of my
manipulatively monotonous life,
I was greedy to be an immaculate child once again;
incessantly frolicking in her compassionate warmth;
bonding with her celestial spirit for decades
immemorial…
And when I was close to your chest; the tirelessly
passionate beating of your heart; granting me the
astronomical privilege to live for an infinite more
lives,
I was greedy for love; immortally blending my breath
with your heart; mind; body and soul; to make me the
richest entity living; and even after death
perpetually alive…
