Your love for me was not like the disloyally changing
shape of the Moon; which blatantly metamorphosed its
pearly body at the onset of every night,
Infact I have profound pride in stating; that it was
like the resplendent blanket of shimmering stars which
shone for countless decades; illuminating my gloomy
household with enchanting light.
Your love for me was not like the tumultuous storm;
which devoured even the minutest of entity in its
thunderous swirl,
Infact I have profound pride in stating; that it was
like the delectable draught of wind; which arose every
evening; mystically tingling the camouflage of dense
leaves with its dainty charm and grace.
Your love for me was not like the poignantly burning
candle; which diminished wholesomely; a few minutes
after ferociously igniting into a ball of flames,
Infact I have profound pride in stating; that it was
like the fire which burnt unrelentingly towards the
sky; becoming more and more passionate as the pinnacle
of darkness encroached every space.
Your love for me was not like the swanky bottle of
expensive scent; which started to rot away soon after
initially flooding every bit of scorched atmosphere,
Infact I have profound pride in stating; that it was
like the stupendously fragrant lotus; which spread its
essence without distinction; captivated me for many
births yet to unveil in the aura of its enigmatic
redolence.
Your love for me was not like the callous bird mother;
who deserted her children a few days after they had
hatched from the egg; and after adeptly teaching them
to fly high,
Infact I have profound pride in stating; that it was
like the human mother; who harnessed and nourished her
baby for marathon years even after he attained
maturity; catered to the most inconspicuous of his
demand till the time she found herself on her
inevitable deathbed.
Your love for me was not like pelting drops of violent
rain; which gave just momentary pleasure to my flesh
and then left me dry and mourning as the blistering
Sun crept up in the sky,
Infact I have profound pride in stating that; it was
like the colossal ocean with piquantly escalating
waves; which provided warmth and rejuvenation to my
dirty body; at the unleashing of dawn every morning.
Your love for me was not like a sleazy television
commercial; which sent ravishing chills down my spine
as the instant I viewed it; and then left me longing
for more as the boring news came by,
Infact I have profound pride in stating that; it was
like the mesmerizing fable that had an unprecedented
impact on my destiny; bequeathed a moral to my life.
Your love for me was not like slippery granules of
sand; which seductively caressed my skin for fraction
of seconds; and then unavoidably trickled onto the
boiling soil,
Infact I have profound pride in stating that; it was
like the century old Banyan tree which had its roots
firmly impregnated in ground; was almost invincible to
dismantle even when the entire army tried to tear it
down.
Your love for me was not like the swashbuckling
aircraft which transported the passenger at electric
speeds from one destination to another; made him feast
on the magnificent cocoon of white clouds as he sipped
wine seated on the plush upholstery; before eventually
leaving him to crawl miserably towards his destination
on naked feet,
Infact I have profound pride in stating that; it was
like the divine fairy wandering in the cosmos; who
inundated my senses every unfurling second with all
the pleasure and fantasy that existed on this planet.
And your love for me was not like the throbbing heart
which palpitated beyond the point of no control at one
instant, and relinquished breath the other; abandoning
me in a condition of complete disbelief and disarray;
Infact I have profound pride in stating that; it was
like the soul which was timeless; which would continue
to live for unfathomable number of years even after
the last entity on this earth had died; which
strangulated me entirely in its perpetual grip; which
gave my life a new beginning every time I felt I was
dead.
