When we talk about love

When we talk about the fiery body of sun; it’s magnanimous stature in
the
sky,
The cardinal thing that inundates our mind; is its dazzling shine; and
the
blistering rays that emanate indefatigably throughout the day.

When we talk about the placid persona of lake; the plethora of ripples
embodied on its surface,
The salient thing that floods our mind; is the boats floating on it;
the
conglomerate of resplendent fish beneath its surface.

When we talk about the blossoming flowers in the garden; the wild
stalks of
grass circumventing them,
The chief thing that deluges our mind; is the fragrance that
perennially wafts
from them; the sweet nectar incarcerated in their core.

When we talk about the colossal desert; the sweltering heat permeating
the
ambience like dagger heads of acrimonious steel,
The conspicuous thing that overwhelms our mind; is the astronomical
amounts of
slippery sand; the hunchbacked camels traversing through its territory.

When we talk about the steep mountains; gigantic streams of water
plummeting
down their slopes,
The remarkable thing that imprisons our mind; is its summits standing
abreast
the clouds; the melodious gurgling sounds of liquid cascading down
towards the
ground.

When we talk about the tenacious wind; turbulent draughts of breeze
sweeping
the periphery of earth,
The prominent thing that encapsulates our mind; is rustling of the tree
leaves; the loose granules of mud which fly incoherently in air.

When we talk about the preposterously huge whales; their monstrous pair
of
teeth which pulverize humans to chowder,
The main thing that engulfs our mind; is swirling waves of the majestic
ocean;
the animated aquatic life inhabiting the fathomless waters.

When we talk about the diminutive mosquito; its proliferation in pools
of
fetid water,
The profound thing that envelops our mind; is incessant sounds of
cacophonic
buzzing; the animosity in sting which painstakingly infiltrates in our
flesh.

When we talk about gargantuan slices of cheese; the rich and sumptuous
odor
diffusing from the same,
The supreme thing that strangulates our mind; is the sacrosanct cow
yielding
immaculate milk; the delicious taste it would impart when we revolve it
in our
mouth.

And when we talk about true love; the blissful aftermath of falling in
romance,
The first thing that inevitably pierces our mind; is the mesmerizing
image of
our beloved; the celestial reflections of her dainty feet.
