 I wanted the speed of life to be like swashbuckling blades of the ceiling fan, 

When I was bustling with euphoric fervor; in the prime of youth.
 
I wanted the speed of life to be like the withered leaves of autumn, 
When I was imprisoned in desolation; with traces of the world far away from my
silhouette.
 
I wanted the speed of life to be like slowly dribbling honey, 
When I felt secret avenues of energy fading; and my feet felt drearily exhausted.
 
I wanted the speed of life to be like the mesmerizing and eloquent cuckoo, 
When I brusquely got up from sleep; at the outbreak of evanescent dawn.
 
I wanted the speed of life to be like slithering reptiles traversing through bushy outgrowths of the jungle, 
When I was intensely engrossed in artistry and captivating romance.
 
I wanted the speed of life to be like hostile blood leaking in fury; from fresh wounds, 
When I felt my persona submerged in pools of belligerence; my fists clenched and clusters of my teeth grimaced like a formidable fortress.
 
I wanted the speed of life to be like the transparently reflecting mirror, 
When I felt circumspect to confront loads of tumultuous sorrow.
 
I wanted the speed of life to be like the garrulous tongue, 
When I felt like incessantly chattering; disrupting the synchrony of stillness with my voice.
 
I wanted the speed of life to be like the turbulently flowing Ganges, 
When I contemplated on dipping my demeanor into Luke warm water; and having a
bath.
 
I wanted the speed of life to be like the plummeting showers of torrential rain, 
When I set out to conquer the world barefoot; basking in the spirit of adventure.
 
I wanted the speed of life to be like the majestically gliding eagle in the sky, 
When I envisaged about the harmony of thought; the blissful symmetry of existence.
 
I wanted the speed of life to be like the shrill ringing of the telephone, 
When I nostalgically reminisced the conversations I had with my beloved on telephone.
 
I wanted the speed of life to be like the painstakingly trespassing desert camel, 
When I was on the threshold of succumbing life; and I had relinquished the tenacity of youth.
 
I wanted the speed of life to be like the brilliantly burning bulb, 
When I was on the course of reaching stupendous echelons of invincible stardom.
 
And I wanted all speeds of life to be transferred to my fellow beings in acute distress, 
The moment I left for my heavenly abode; to rest perennially in celestial arms of the Creator.
