 When I drank water in a glass of composite mud; the liquid tasted 

ravishing; with my reflection wavering erratically in it, 
However it contained tinges of dissolved sand; and was a trifle salty
for my liking.
 
When I drank water in a glass of deplorable copper; the liquid appeared
blurred in the prevailing darkness, 
And when I sipped it; it had a stale odor of the rusty surface it had adhered to for many hours.
 
When I drank water in a glass of pure bamboo; the liquid looked glistening and
mesmerizing under the sun, 
Although even after consuming it completely; I still felt that my bowels were
yet famished and incorrigibly demanded more.
 
When I drank water in a glass of yellow molded gold; the liquid inside displayed a scintillating shine; dazzling brilliantly in the most sequestered of room, 
However it miserably floundered to pacify my thirst; as I was heavily circumspect in devouring the costly water.
 
When I drank water in a glass of hardened plastic; the liquid seemed to be
overwhelming still without the slightest of ripple, 
But the tangy flavor was blatantly absent; and I didn't relish one sip of what
I had just swallowed.
 
When I drank water in a glass of bombastic diamonds; the liquid looked as if
shimmering profusely under the moon, 
Although an uncanny feeling enveloped my stomach; a feeling as if I had
Eaten the glittering diamonds.
 
When I drank water in a glass of pencil lead; the liquid inside looked obnoxiously black; readily acquiring the color of its vessel, 
And I felt like puking it out with ferocious intensity; after having dubiously
gulped it.
 
When I drank water in a glass of broad green leaf; the liquid inside resembled
the perennial pastures sprawling over the valley, 
But alongwith it there entered a fleet of invisible insects in my throat; and
I shivered inadvertently envisaging the aftermath of disease.
 
When I drank water in a glass of heavy stone; the liquid pretty normal to
drink, 
However lifting the glass proved to be a bit cumbersome; and I felt a
bit perturbed by the flimsy effort.
 
And eventually when I drank water in the 'GLASS OF OUR LOVE'; blending
it with a concoction of her heavenly tears, 
The water tasted as sweet as never before; as impeccable as sacrosanct god; as exotic as the gyrating fairies in the sky; and it instantly put me into an inevitable slumber.
