 I’ve fallen in love with you Ice-Cream

I loved the astounding ounces of reinvigoration that you perpetuated
wherever you went; even as the globe grew stale in disdainful robotic
work,

I loved the way you tantalized every mortal around you- as every
globule from your body sensuously dissipated into barren patches of
mud,

I loved the way you were served in the most glitteringly embellished
platter- so that every meal finished with an uninhibitedly contented
smile,

I loved the way you caressed me with your unflinching softness- making
me feel like I was galloping through fields of spell-bindingly
electrifying Sunshine,

I loved the way you euphorically charmed humans of every religion;
caste; creed; tribe and color- with the effervescence that wafted
from your diminutive form,

I loved the way you announced your delectably curvaceous and colorful
presence- as hordes of people left what was thwarting them- and rushed
to devour mouthfuls of your ecstatic grace,

I loved the way you evoked so much reaction without uttering a word-
as almost everyone had something to appreciate about you- be it your
color, form, odor, freshness, poignancy or unparalleled taste,

I loved the way you brought about that quintessential zeal in all
those lives; miserably lamenting without reason or rhyme- pepped up
the ambience with sparks of revitalizing newness,

I loved the way you quelled volcanic body heat like a magicians wand-
even as man-made discrepancies permeated the atmosphere around with
poisonous smoke and fumes,

I loved the way you ignited those whirlpools of  uncanny excitement
around you- becoming a chilled centerpiece of exhilaration on that
extremely warm summer afternoon,

I loved the way you innocently nestled in the palm- so soft; so
tender; so immaculately princely- drawing hordes of cheers as one
sighted even an inconspicuous trifle of you,

I loved the compassionately triumphant warmth that you generated in
everyone who consumed you- being frozen yourself; without any respite
and to the core,

I loved the way you united haplessly estranged lovers into bonds of
endearing friendship- as they resolved all disputes; buried past
differences—whilst clasping you with one hand each,

I loved the way you disseminated the message of universal brotherhood-
with people from all parts of the globe; unhesitatingly ready to
mingle in groups to have a slice of your dazzling ice,

I loved the way you were used to celebrate occasions solemnizing love
– when marriage was proposed with a ring in one hand and the other
offering your silken grace of impeccable unity,

I loved the way you held your own inimitable identity- even when
blended with myriad concoctions; cakes; eateries; syrups and what
not’s- with mortals distinguishing you instantly from the assortment;
as you astoundingly chilled,

I loved the way you effortlessly glided your way to your destination-
when sadly and rarely there weren’t any takers- melting into absolute
submission under golden rays of the mid-day Sun,

I loved the way you retained your rudimentary essence for all humans
to savor- remaining the most kingly eating constituent of their meals-
even as the space-cyber age hurled one ingenious innovation over
another,

O! Yes, I’ve definitely fallen in love with you- my scrumptiously
enchanting and unabashed “Ice-Cream”
