3. THE MILLION DOLLAR KISS

 

When she saw me; she made me feel that I was the most handsome man on this earth,

I felt as if God had cast his omnipotent eyes on me; granting my persona an impeccable status to survive. 

 

When she talked to me; she made me feel that I was tangible and existing,

I felt as if God had whispered mystically in my dreams; making me imbibe the essence of life. 

 

When she smiled at me; she made me feel that I was someone extra special,

I felt as if God had granted me reprieve from my plethora of sins; inundated my soul with loads of happiness. 

 

When she ran her fingers through my hair; she made me feel that I was a messenger of love,

I felt as if God had blessed me with his sacrosanct palms; impregnated in my visage the tenacity to live and let live. 

 

When she held my hands; she made me feel that I had a fortress to lean upon,

I felt as if God had endowed me with unsurpassable resilience; his shadow to seek solace in my times of bizarre distress. 

 

When she fed me with ravishing food; she made me feel that I was never hungry,

I felt as if God had perpetually filled my stomach; stuffed it with the most sumptuous meal available in this world. 

 

When she tickled me frivolously in my ribs; she made me feel the stupendous exultation of existence,

I felt as if God had returned me back my innocuous childhood; placed upon an immortal bed of dreams. 

 

When she put me to sleep; she made me feel that I was blissfully breathing,

I felt as if God had exorbitantly rewarded me for my day; showering upon my dreary eyes the virtue of eternal rest. 

 

And when she kissed me; she made me feel that I had infinite reasons to live,

I felt as if God had given me the greatest treasure of my life; made me the richest person in past and pragmatic present; to be alive.
