46. LIGHT OF LOVE

The light diffusing from the sun was stupendously dazzling in the morning;

gaining profound intensity by the onset of afternoon,

Although as the hours zipped by; the same Sun set behind the mountains; with

its brilliant rays now transiting into pathetic Black.

The light emanating from the moon was an immaculate white; subtly illuminating

the darkness of the night;

Although as the first hours of dawn stealthily crept in; the moonlight simply faded; without leaving a single trace.

The light radiating from the high voltage bulb was wholesomely flamboyant;

piercing with stringent velocity through particles of gloom,

Although when I merely caressed the switch with my fingers; it abruptly shut

up without the slightest of struggle.

The light diffusing from the volcano was belligerent and hostile; torching all

the animate that came in proximity,

Although when the tremors subsided; the same sparkle got submerged in clouds

of insipid smoke.

The light emerging from traffic signals appeared scintillating; blending

perfectly with the flurry of traffic traversing the roads at nights,

Although the contraption failed to produce the same effects in the morning;

when the natural shine of the sun overwhelmingly took over.

The light originating from the stars was silvery in complexion; besieging the

ambience with an enchanting mysticism,

Although when came the next morning; there was no sign of the light as well as

the galaxy of prominent stars.

The light ejecting out from the mountain stream was a juxtaposition of several

colors; as the sunrays punctured it,

Although it vanished into oblivion as nightfall took its toll on the day.

The light arising from the computer screen was creamy and fluorescent;

enticing the mundane man with lots of ease,

Although when I punched the button to a position of closure; there was a dull

background of gray that flooded my eyes.

The light emitting from the sky was sapphire blue; with blissful tinges of golden,

Although the same was sighted as ominously black; with the thunder clouds

hovering around.

And the light of our love was as everlasting as the fragrance of God,

It radiated a perpetual immortal glow; which neither faded in darkness; not

disappeared in the brightest of light.
