There Were times



There were times when the breeze didn't need air to flow; gush in torrential fervor towards the handsome sky,

There were times when the rose didn't need fragrance to blossom; transit into the most unprecedented realms of voluptuous desire,

There were times when the tongue didn't need words to speak; express its emotions as vociferously as a new born child,

There were times when the fish didn't need water to swim; ebulliently bounce and gallivant in the full fervor of existence,

There were times when the lips didn't need a smile to be happy; exult in the grandeur of the mesmerizing beauty; lingering on this Universe all around,

There were times when the eyes didn't have to close to dream; fantasize beyond the boundaries of infinite infinity,

There were times when the church didn't need bells to ring; poignantly express the irrefutably divinely consent of the Almighty lord,

There were times when evening didn't need the Sun to set; metamorphose into overwhelmingly seductive and transient dusk; before the onset of perpetual night,

There were times when the birds didn't need wings tofly; soar astronomically high in vivacious bits of fabulously blue sky,

There were times when the palms didn't need lines to be destined; live the most incredulously wonderful existence that could ever be conceived on this earth,

There were times when the throat didn't need sound to communicate; reach the individual boundless kilometers away in lightening fractions of seconds,

There were times when the body didn't need muscle to fight; conquer the most invincible of heights with the stupendously majestic ease of a crown prince,

There were times when the storm didn't need thunderbolts of white electricity; to incarcerate the soil in its mystically enigmatic swirl,

There were times when the matchstick didn't need flames to burn; escalate the most unsurpassable limits of the cosmos; where no entity had ever tread,

There were times when the diamonds didn't need stringent light to shine; glisten gorgeously to unleash infernos of insatiable passion,

There were times when the veins didn't need blood to survive; trigger insurmountable compassion and an unequalled ardor to lead life,

There were times when the snow didn't need heat to melt; evolve into a spring of profoundly enchanting froth; blessing countless with its heavenly charm,

There were times when the nostrils didn't need air to live; exist beyond the boundaries of inevitably unfurling fate,

And there were times when the heart didn't need a voice to proclaim; dedicate its passionately palpitating flurry of fervent beats to the person it loved; the person it wanted to incarcerate for fathomless more births to come.
