18. WATER

 

I consumed a meal consisting of crushed chili with poignant fillings of snake brown pepper,

immediately felt the urge to gulp a can full of water.

 

i abruptly got up from the vigils of sleep; to eructate my inflated bowels,

instantaneously felt the need for gallons of water.

 

i noticed corrugated blotches of stain sprawling wildly on my car windshield,

prompting me to spray it clean with refined globules of water.

 

i jogged incessantly through undulating landscapes of the rocky terrain,

felt appeasingly relaxed after sipping crystal water from the monsoon springs.

 

i woke with terrified jolts;envisaging a horrendous dream,

recieved instant gratification as i drank colossal pints of flavored water.

 

i scribbled painstakingly obnoxious pages of the annual exam papers,

reclined back on my rocking chair drowned in colossal pools of coconut water.

 

i tresspassed through arid regions of the sahara desert,

intermittently wetting my tongue with infinitesimal amounts of water.

 

i percieved utter desolation enveloping my demeanour,

chivalrously swallowed herculean streams of melon water,

to relinquish the memory of my departed beloved.

 

i felt epidemic fever circulate through entangled capillaries of my body,

flooded my belly with marathon oceans of water to swipe off the deadly

infection.

 

i felt stinging pangs of acrimonious heat strike me in the peak of summer,

felt as if floating in paradise;minutes after drinking farm fresh sugarcane water.

 

i knew deep inside; that i could live without food for days on the trot,

but to remain divested of ground water even for more than an hour was disconcertingly impossible.
