I liked the way; the jugglery of bones moved in the
body,
I liked the way thunderous clouds in the cosmos
produced sheets of torrential
rain,
I liked the way in which fish swam articulately
swishing their silken fins,
I liked the way; in which handsome horses galloped
down the plateau at
swashbuckling speeds,
I liked the way; in which fluorescent bulbs diffused
gaudy lights on the
street,
I liked the way; in which steaming brown filter coffee
was poured melodiously
in bar mugs,
I liked the way; in which intricate zones in my
eardrum reacted ecstatically
to vociferous sound,
I liked the way; tones of literature was juxtaposed on
immaculate bond paper
of books,
I liked the way; in which gleaming sheath of black
hair cascaded down
effeminate shoulders,
I liked the way; in which the railway engine
obstreperously chugged through
solitary arenas of desert,
I liked the way; in which a plethora of bamboo sticks
were used to construct
fortified enclosures for dwelling,
I liked the way; in which golden particles of saw dust
flew haphazardly in the
austere breeze,
I liked the way; in which the princely panther
clambered tall trees with
nonchalant ease,
I liked the way; in which scores of glowworm radiated
mystical rays at the
onset of twilight,
I liked the way; in which the crystal waterfall
plummeted down the slopes at
tumultuous speeds,
I liked the way; in which small cubes of ice rolled
down the slope; eventually
transiting into a mighty avalanche,
I liked the way; in which enchanting shapes were
sketched by synchronized
strokes of the paint brush,
I liked the way; in which those dying of thirst;
quenched their thirst
drinking gallons of spring water,
I liked the way; in which ostentatious cars sped down
the valley at rollicking
speeds,
I liked the way; in which people bounced on an island
of pure jelly;
catapulting a few feet above ground,
I liked the way; in which the cricket ball was hurled
over the fence with
overwhelming tenacity,
I liked the way; in which innocuous toddlers played
incessantly in pools of
wet mud,
I liked the way; in which the philanthropic politician
helped clusters of
individuals afflicted by distress,
I liked the way; in which the voluptuous nightingale
flooded the atmosphere
with mesmerizing rhyme,
I liked the way; in which crisp flakes of popcorn
tumbled in unison from the
wending machine,
I liked the way; in which man toiled to unprecedented
limits in order to
retain his self esteem,
I liked the way; in which young hearts throbbed
violently; falling prey to
inevitable love,
I liked the way; in which tender patches of my skin
developed disdainful rash
when stung by harmless nettle,
I liked the way; in which the flag patronizing my
nation fluttered high in the
wind,
I liked the way; in which people bereft of sight;
still had a zeal to live;
relying solely on the sense of hearing,
I liked the way; in which acrimonious rays of sun
fumigated all the filth on
earth,
I liked the way; in which colossal mountains trembled
due to onslaught of the
earthquake,
I liked the way; in which pellucid mirror of glass
reflected my authentic
image,
I liked the way; in which the tranquil moon shone on
my eyes when I was in
realms of deep sleep,
I liked the way; in which all the tangible and
intangible existed; under a
single roof; blended with harmony and love,
And over and above all I liked the way; in which god
created man; from which
hailed my very own ancestors,
Who in turn bestowed upon me the power to like and
dislike.
