Compulsive decadence

And some slept,

And some dreamt,

And some made their way into the world

Logical, rational, enforced lives

that all added up.

And I never realized when the silver bullet missed me,

my chance for immortality gone

I had thought of some days

I am nowadays glad to just see through days.

 

I live in full fiction

Where goddesses walk right into your arms

and superlative co-incidences mean something.

Where physical attraction is justifiable and

hormones understand each other

across bodies.

 

I have loved you,

however immaterial my love maybe to the rest of you

and the circumstances

I will love you

till I find meaning

and thousands of barbarians invade across millions of

homes, unsuspecting

where the disease of one human mind reaches

and surpasses all minds .

Where I finally get mad

and act on it.

 

There are some stories I haven't heard.

You can tell me a few of those

on my way to the mad-house.

I have a shelf full of unread books

and with every day of disappointment

the shelf keeps piling up.

 

I at-least hope that in my non fictional existence

One day, you will read my feelings

even though, you won't necessarily act on them.
