40. I SAW

 

I saw big shards of glass hurtle down the multi-floored building,

i saw well oiled elevators bounce on cushioned spring,

i saw sparkling river water transit black at Sunset,

i saw spongy tufts of grass with gold patches of castor oil,

i saw thin needle levers of watch complete clockwise journeys,

i saw hungry street dogs devour chunks of left over meal,

i saw steaming hot tea extract being poured in tapered glass mug,

i saw expensive ball point refill full with condensed ink,

i saw sandstone palaces basking in silver light of the moon,

i saw boiled candy sweets in air tight bottles of blue crystal,

i saw coiled python skin crushing its prey to death,

i saw snow white shoes with jet black knotted laces,

i saw emerald green coconuts containing ripened sweet water,

i saw shabbily attired beggars with bruised metal bowls,

i saw twin winged aircraft rolling on the carpeted tarmac,

i saw an army of ant with food grain stuffed in their antenna,

i saw gigantic fluffs of cotton leaking from dwarf potted plant,

i saw barrels of kerosene stacked neatly at the grocery store,

i saw a bunch of hard banana projecting from forked tree branch,

i saw towering church spires with king sized bells of brass,

i saw blood red wine adhering to polished interiors of champagne bottle,

i saw power propelled water craft churning through the sea,

i saw barbaric Tarzan swing merrily on twined bamboo roots,

i saw dark grey lizards on infinite spots of house wall,

i saw splendid portraits of articulately carved Indian God,

i saw wooden bridges with side margins of puristic ivory,

i saw hunch backed camel strolling through parched terrain of the desert,

i saw frozen balls of snow tumble down slopes of the Swiss mountain,

i saw ultra light butterflies float gently in moisture laden air,

i saw brittle hen eggs simmering in intense fury of the gas flame,

i saw fat cubes of molten cheese stored in cool comforts of the freezer tray,

i saw square shaped sodium bulbs burning incessantly through the night,

i saw gold rings studded with several diamonds cut in semicircular shape,

i saw acres of farm land with straw stuffed statues of gruesome scarecrow,

i saw a cluster of tiny wooden sticks coated with fillings of fire lead,

i saw tablets of pink soap lying dormant on chipped slabs of marble,

i saw toy fairy dolls with twin pairs of sapphire blue eyes,

i saw heaps of black charcoal stashed within open spaces of timber wood,

i saw live shows of stars in the London planetarium,

i saw pools of achromatic saliva decaying in vicinity of hospital bed,

i saw mammoth footsteps of elephant feet embedded in loose soil,

i saw the stars twinkle in exuberance at the onset of twilight,

i saw the sea waves rise to a crescendo as clouds wept torrential rain,

i saw menacing vultures tearing away flesh stuck firmly to tender bones,

i saw tantalizing black cloth fluttering in the rustic breeze,

i saw streaks of deathly silver flash across the ravishing sky,

i saw beads of multiple pearls pop out from humid recesses of oyster shell,

i saw denim grey whales toppling huge assembly of concrete ship,

i saw carved blades of ceiling fan flood the ambience with fresh air,

i saw the gardener sprinkle tepid water on bald patches of mud,

i saw the ambulance zip across the city at electric speeds,

i saw gutter water oozing out from neglected pores of sewer drains,

i saw the humming bee depositing gallons of sickening sweet nectar,

i saw the cricket ball soaring high in the mass of lowly suspended cloud,

i saw snake leather purse inhabiting pockets of cotton trouser,

i saw gaudy colored posters projecting from air-conditioned cinema halls,

i saw a battalion of soldiers marching through territories of upright thorn,

i saw people beating drum with long sticks of sliced bamboo,

i saw bundle of holy thread crisscrossed on sweaty palm,

i saw frogs croaking noisily at amazing depths of the century old well,

i saw wild shrub grow on barren landscapes after initial spells of rain,

i saw sail boats containing fish tied to pier abutments,

i saw the pouched kangaroo take volatile leaps through the jungle,

i saw the mesmerizing idol of lord Buddha in stone and studded gold,

i saw bicycle tyre trampling tons of compact earth road,

i saw exquisite curtain drapery obscuring harsh rays of midday sun,

i saw dark green leaves of full grown lotus flower,

i saw the steep slope of the hair raising valley,

i saw crumbs of bread slice roasting in heat compartments of the toaster,

i saw icy bed sheets of lake water,

i saw the mighty snatching wealth from the feeble and weak,

i saw brutal terror prevalent in minute quarters of the globe,

i saw the earth burdened by evil doings of fellow beings,

i thought i had seen enough,

my mind was bursting like a volcano with traces of hot lava,

it was time to put brakes on weird mental imagery,

reinforce intricate body mechanisms with,

holistic amounts of blissful sleep.
