like a shiver that penetrates your soul
upon seeing a burst of playful colours that flirt
and tease your lingering eyes

like the pores of your skin that graciously rise
when you can't help the smile that
meanders its way on your lips after
having come across the words that every speck of your being
was screaming out to your deafened consciousness

like the realization having finally dawned
upon your veiled intellect
that the spark that you hid
so cautiously nurtured
and patiently preserved has in turn
been suffocating noiselessly
under the self induced smog
waiting to morph
into a full-blown
raging
wildfire.
