"WINK"


When the signal lights winked; scores of boisterously
unruly traffic surged forward like a speedy bullet;
heaving delectable sighs of relief,
When the resplendent stars in the cosmos winked; they
cast a spell of flirtatious enchantment upon the
gloomy surface of black earth,
When the car indicators winked; pedestrians behind
instantaneously slackened their speeds; allowing it to
harmoniously turn,
When the Sun in the heavens winked; an ominous blanket
of clouds suddenly took a complete cover; engulfing
brilliantly pugnacious light with mystical cheer,
When the festoon of glittering diamonds winked; there
seemed insatiable greediness encapsulating the eyes of
the impoverished beggar,
When the opalescent bulbs on the dance floor winked;
boundless numbers of impetuous youth gyrated their
nimble bodies to the beats of bombastically sleazy
music,
When the television lights incessantly winked; the
exhausted executive rushed out of his house at
midnight to find an electrician; so that his wife
didn’t break her sequence of exotic programs,
When the Boss's lips winked; all employees in vicinity
anxiously clutched their breaths; expecting words of
heavenly accolades; when instead all that diffused in
the end was a crisp abuse to get back to work,
When the images in the mirror violently winked; the
grizzly haired grandmother went right back into her
nostalgic childhood; slipping back into times when she
was as vivacious as a soaring butterfly; moving 2
steps at a time with unprecedented charm and grace,
When the waves in the ocean winked; dreary souls
sitting on the shores suddenly got pepped up with
rejuvenated vigor; profoundly relishing the poignantly
piquant froth on their dull cheeks,
When the computer screens rampantly winked; a wave of
terror crept on the face of the corporate banker; as
he felt imperiled of losing his millions in the swirl
of the lethal virus which had struck his contemporary
toy,
When the untamed chimpanzee winked; the miserable
child broke out into pools of uninhibited laughter;
clapping his hands in mischievous glee,
When the cow winked; the milkman's eyes glowed with
overwhelming satisfaction; as he was sure that his
animal was now in a mood to yield the richest quality
of milk,
When the aircraft lights rhythmically winked; the
people seated inside tensed their muscles a trifle;
soothing their frazzled nerves for the exhilaration
about to splendidly unfurl,
When the shadows started to lengthen and relentlessly
wink; the farmers inhabiting rustic villages now
realized that it was indeed time to return home and
start preparing for blissful sleep,
When the gigantic lizard ominously winked; an army of
inconspicuous insects and worms lingering in the
surrounding; abruptly dispersed their celestial
meeting and made a last run for their lives,
When the street lamps furtively winked; alarm bells
ringed loud and stringent through the police station;
potbellied officers made a jiffy out into the cold; to
save the city from possibly heinous crime,
When the frigid candle flame precariously winked; the
hearts of countless individuals fell right down into
their boots; as it was their last source of
illumination; in absence of gaudy electricity and the
horrendously moonless night,
But the best of it all was when her eyelids winked; as
what I had considered unbelievable in each of my
dreams now seemed to be an immortal reality; my pulse
kicked faster than the fulminating volcano; and before
she could utter a single word; the entire Universe for
me came to a brusque end; a virtual standstill….
