Schizophrenic Love Story

I indeed love her
But can't muster enough nerve
I had rehearse those lines
But as if someone tied my tongue

Afraid of venom of pain
Afraid to be stung
Better to hide it this way
But regret is even painful at the end

She was so alluring
A beauty that could only be mine in a dream
She was every of my fantasies
But how can I charm her
Everything about me was so simple
While she was extra-ordinary

I must act now

Then I lied...
I told her I am a prince
That I owed the stars
But I saw her shaking her heads
She was nothing compared the sun
She was nothing compared to the blue sky

I lost my self control

I began grasping her
Kissing her torridly
Even a lot of people are witnessing what I am doing
Little do I care
I want her badly, crazily

And then laughters everywhere

Indeed people saw me grasping and  kissing someone
Someone in their eyes... Was only a tree...

Being attracted makes one distracted. Makes one forget who or where one is, blind to everything, except the kiss! Nice one, Frederick. Loved the poem. ~karam~
