While Passing By Her House
While philandering through the bustling traffic streets; the most conspicuous
thing that caught my eye; was obnoxious clouds of derogatory smoke rising in
the air,
While strolling past the sea shore; the most conspicuous thing that caught my
eye; was swirling waves breaking down into infinite granules of froth after
striking the rocks,
While gallivanting on a horse through the meandering mountain lanes; the most
conspicuous thing that caught my eye; was unsurpassable depth of the panoramic
valley,
While ambling languidly through a lush green cricket field; the most conspicuous thing that caught my eye; was an ensemble of polished stumps well embedded in the ground,
While trespassing through the vivacious circus grounds; the most conspicuous
thing that caught my eye; was garishly attired ludicrous clowns,
While walking gingerly on a frayed rope; the most conspicuous thing that caught my eye; was the tall board fluttering high and highlighting finish,
While soaring at astronomical heights from the ground in an airplane; the most
conspicuous thing that caught my eye; was the boundless expanse of misty white
clouds,
While penning down intricate lines of literature; the most conspicuous thing
that caught my eye; was a table of sparkling mahogany wood on which were
placed the bulky sheaf of paper,
While swimming underwater with an assemblage of opalescent green permeating
into my eyes; the most conspicuous thing that caught my eye; was the preposterously huge shark gliding past at whisker lengths from my persona,
While clambering up the steep mountain; the most conspicuous thing that caught
my eye; was fiery body of sun profoundly illuminating the sky,
While sipping sizzling tea from the triangular shaped paper cup; the most
conspicuous thing that caught my eye; was the rustic brown liquid incarcerated
within; in gay abandon,
While dangling from the elastic branches of a densely foliated tree; the most
conspicuous thing that caught my eye; was the catacombed hive; inhabited by
the obstreperously humming bee,
While lying sprawled on a bed of pudgy and redolent grass; the most conspicuous thing that caught my eye; was a blanket of mesmerizing stars scintillating vividly in the crystal clear sky,
While riding on a hunch backed camel tightly straddled to its sides; the most
conspicuous thing that caught my eye; was the blistering expanse of shimmering
sands spreading almost till eternity,
While traversing up towards the 150th floor in a grandiloquent elevator; the most conspicuous thing that caught my eye; was a impeccable panel of rotund buttons; with a jugglery of numerals embossed immaculately upon them,
While praying incessantly in front of the idol of the omniscient creator; the
most conspicuous thing that caught my eye; was an ingratiating aura lingering
profusely around his sacrosanct forehead,
While vigorously kneading chunks of flaccid dough; the most conspicuous thing
that caught my eye; was pellucid bottles incorporated with appetizing recipes
stashed neatly on the shelves,
While rolling voraciously in a pond of fetid manure; the most conspicuous
thing that caught my eye; was a fleet of pigs darting rampantly in my direction,
While wading through a tunnel engulfed by perennial darkness; the most conspicuous thing that caught my eye; was diminutive beams of faint light flooding intermittently,
And while passing by her partially obfuscated house window panes; the most
conspicuous thing that caught my eye; was emphatic contours of her enamouring
face; the stupendous beauty hidden well within her glistening eyes.
