Hysterical
A day in 55-word notes…
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
Last night
It was madness
I’m not afraid of madness
It’s the thought of being locked away for it that holds me back
That madness hasn’t left me; Oh joy!
One moment, one blink…is all it needs.
Love is madness, a screaming, hysterical madness.
I fell asleep last night with that thought.
And I dreamt all night.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
The Dream
Missing the lift everybody took
14-floor sprint in pitch blackness
Stumbling over sleeping dogs
Sliding into the lift, just as it shut
Made it!
Realising I was on the wrong bus
With my group
But no one was going my way
When I woke up
I wanted to go back to sleep and dream more.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
The Conversation
And then, later this morning
I can’t believe you’re doing this..
I am doing it.
I can see that but I can’t believe it!
Don’t be melodramatic!
But I’m not! I’m being myself for a change.
But I didn’t say that last sentence; I didn’t let the madness overcome me.
The dream lingers. Madness hidden.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
Finale
Never realized till now
That I recognized the same madness in you
Each time, it stabbed me
I didn’t want to cry out
So retreated to sanity
Would you suspect, recognition would draw a cry of joy?
Yet I acknowledge
Your hysteria, not for me
Joy and rage would join
In my cry of madness.

@ Raizada: I’m not sure why that annoys you so much. I don’t read blogs because they get ‘x’ number of hits, I read because I like the content. And I don’t remember seeing your name anywhere there. I also don’t have your email address, in case you were hoping I’d get in touch.

@ Peeyush: That wasn’t me. Someone’s copying my tattooo….damn, where’s the piracy police when you need them??????
@ Gaurav: Sorry I didn’t see that. Also, I wouldn’t have linked it back to your blog. To be honest, hits do matter to me but I try not to write solely for the purpose of my readership. That’s the best one can do I think. Happy Diwali to you too!
