Lovers and madmen
Are so much alike
Lovers walk the earth in a trance
Willing to sacrifice everything
At a gesture of their beloved
Their eyes resemble those of
Madmen, devoid of lucidity
Full of dreams – daring to attain the unattainable
Hopeless romantics
Devourers of hope
Living for the day after tomorrow…

You could buy them with a smile
Tease a little… encourage to dream
Plant false hope in their barren hearts
They’ll become your eternal slaves
Worshipping you like a Goddess reincarnate
At least madmen don’t know right from wrong
But lovers drink poison knowingly;
Longing, welcoming, cherishing it to the final sting
They refuse rational thought
Feed off their foolish adoration…

“How audacious of you to judge me!
Have you ever felt that bittersweet tingle?
Did you ever stargaze in broad daylight?
My heart doesn’t belong to me anymore
But I’d rather embrace death than ask it back …”
