27. SYMBOLS

Shaking a cluster of hair vigorously; was a symbol of euphoric ecstasy,

Moving the feet unrelentingly; was a symbol of acute nervousness,

Punching the fists vehemently in placid air; was a symbol of impetuous indignation,

Opening the lips partially towards the moon; was a symbol of celestial dreaming,

Fluttering the eyelids viciously; was a symbol of flirtatious mischief,

Clenching the fortress of teeth in a grimace; was a symbol of incorrigible anger,

Whistling incessantly to tunes of unheard music; was a symbol of frantic fantasizing,

Biting the supple nail coat of calcium from fingers; was a symbol highlighting sheer contemplation,

Beads of cold sweat uncannily trickling down the forehead; was a symbol of intense fear,

A battalion of crimson pores emanating from tender skin; was a symbol

of contracting disdainful measles,

Excruciating pain in the bones while hoisting the bucket; was a symbol of distressing fracture,

Frequent sensations of emptying the bladder; was a symbol of anticipatory excitement,

A plethora of goose-bumps diffusing from soft flesh; was a symbol of shivering in austere cold,

Waking up with startled jerks a few hours after midnight; was a symbol of witnessing a ghastly nightmare,

Obstreperously  swallowing gargantuan gulps of cold water; was a symbol of insatiable thirst,

Gasping for precious breath after long sprints of running; was a symbol of tumultuous exhaustion,

Unruly stubs of hair projecting from the disheveled face; was a symbol of refraining to shave,

Intractably staring at piles of glittering gold in the treasury; was a symbol of malicious cupidity,

Licking the lips voraciously after consumption of meal; was a symbol of fulfilling gratification,

Dancing exuberantly till the first rays of new dawn; was a symbol of overwhelming jubilation,

Sleeping for marathon hours extra even after the rising of dazzling Sun; was a

symbol of lackluster life,

And the violent beating of heart; blended with feelings of uninhibited passion; was a symbol of instantaneous love.
