4. BELOVED 

 

In an ambience of rustic jungle trees; with their branches dangling incongruously towards the ground,

In a backdrop of colossal mountains; with their summits sailing handsomely in the clouds,

In a cloistered environment; sequestered partially from the blazing sun,

In an island of marshy swamps; inundated with a plethora of languidly drifting logwood; puddles of muddy slush bountifully dispersed,

Resides the ominous and hideous; serrated skinned alligator. 

 

In an atmosphere of golden dew drops; shimmering vividly under the moon,

In a conglomerate of satiny puffs of sky; stooping effeminately down,

In a mesmerizing lake; circumvented from all sides by the steep valley,

In a stony silence prevailing eternally; with the only sound being evanescent ripples caused by wading birds,

Resides the redolently pink and supremely voluptuous; fragrant lotus. 

 

In a camouflage of broken twigs; and incommensurate stalks of dried grass,

In a compactly hollow space; neatly imprisoned by slender tower walls,

In a whiplash of heavy wind; incessantly blowing in tenacious draughts,

In a congenial warmth; provided indefatigably by the bird mother,

Resides the palpable egg blended with yolk; of the hostile vulture. 

 

In a citadel constructed of savage stone; reinforced with umpteenth bars of strong metal,

In an enclosure of acrimonious glass; scattered in hostile shards all around,

In a jugglery of iron chains; viciously strapped around all parts of the body,

In a room completely obfuscated from the most minuscule beam of light; threadbare chunks of rotten bread being the only solace for nocturnal meal,

Resides the longhaired and diabolically toothed; nefarious convict. 

 

In the vicinity of tubular corals; swirling waves intermittently dismantling the tentacles of potbellied octopus,

In an ingratiating serene provided by the unrelenting froth; gently permeating the sands,

In an ensemble of entwined bushes; with protruding and spongy thorns,

In a myriad of rising bubbles; trying incessantly to reach the surface of gigantic sea,

Resides the scintillating and slime coated; incorrigibly virgin oyster. 

 

In an ocean of honey; with sticky droplets of pure nectar oozing out,

In a network of dilapidated pillars; sometimes profoundly tall trees,

In direct confrontation with stringent light from the sun; uncouthly heating its periphery,

In a constant pandemonium; of cacophonic noise compounded with incoherent buzzing,

Resides the delectably boisterous and poignant; small bodied humming bee. 

 

In a surrounding of indiscriminate violence; massacring of the impeccably innocent,

In the hearts of ruthless assassins; butchering the needy for fat wads of currency,

In a nation with incidences of rampant bloodshed; headed by a fleet of power hungry politicians,

In a world where there are nuclear wars; on the spurious grounds of caste and creed,

Resides a feeling of utter abhorrence; embedded with the perennial virtue of hatred. 

 

In the sacrosanct walls of heaven; emollient with the scent of divinity,

In the dormitories of unprejudiced justice; profusely besieged by equality towards all,

In a land replete with mystical fairies; an immortal paradise to exist forever,

In the visage of omnipotent power; unprecedented empathy towards distressing pain,

Resides the stupendously omnipresent who created this earth; the one whom we christen by the sacerdotal name of creator. 

 

And in the aisles of desire; languishing in the corridor of blissful romance,

In the tunnel of unceasing fascination; juxtaposed with webs of unparalleled imagination,

In a cascade of silken follicles; nimbly caressing her holistic back,

In the cage of uninhibited pleasure; drowning me incredulously in the moistness of her breath,

Resides my ravishing and marvelously enchanting; immaculate beloved.
