Addicted to love


She gazed into the redness of the wine.Everything beyond was inordinately beautiful. The red coloured them to perfection. The glassy distortions carved them beyond mundane recognition. She hadn't touched it yet. But her smile was already drunken with satisfaction. She ran her finger along the brim, down the length of the glass's curve, sensuously, greedily.
The longing in her eyes was evident. But she was scared. Scared to put the red warmth to her lusty lips. Scared that it would be over before she began. Scared that the longing and emptiness that followed would be too hard to resist.

The bartender gave her a long look. He knew. "Take it. It'll be over. But it'll be good while it lasts."

Her lips quivered as she wet them. She felt the warmth cooling on her lips. Her tongue sought out every last drop. Her breath quickened, she snatched the glass and drained the rest. The last trickles clung to the edges washing down like tears. She gripped the glass in despair, with the tenacity of clinging to life.

The glass shattered.

Dulled brown eyeballs, wild with fear, followed red tears that rained off the edge of the table.

Before you let your thoughts run wild, this is about losing a love or friendship you get addicted to and can't do without, not perverse addictions to some night ramblings. Get it? and i think most of us here know what it means except a lucky few.


This post is also from me to my friends here on bogville. I know i'm hopelessly irregular at the blog and i hardly manage to comment on your blogs and most of you are already writing me off. Be i am really going crazy with classes and final exams and entrance exams preparations and an internship. Please don't abandon me. I'll be properly back after march, though i'll continue posting intermittently. Then i'll have to go off in may again..coz of entrance exams . I'll need an
asylum soon.

January 21, 2009 9:22 AM  

lucid, breath-catching style of writing (need not comment on it though :). very absorbing. if it wasn't symbolic at all, it'd have meant nothing to me...

January 21, 2009 9:24 AM

Exams ko maaro goli.. cmmon.. !

January 21, 2009 9:25 AM

Lovely post :) Great descriptive power.

January 21, 2009 12:32 PM  

i felt you shouldnt have posted this at all. Not the kind you normally deliver..somewhere you missed out and the post looks a little forced upon.. U are a much better writer ( from the handful of posts i know you ) . This is not you in full form..

January 21, 2009 12:38 PM  

Hey nice one!

January 21, 2009 5:20 PM

January 21, 2009 7:46 PM  

I agree with Chriz..It felt like drinking wine, and suddennly someone takes the glass, and smashes it to pieces..
But whatever..this was great!

January 21, 2009 10:31 PM

January 22, 2009 5:05 AM  

Farah! This was great! I loved how you intertwined the addiction of love to a shattered glass also! Girl That is one addiction that has a love, hate relationship.. but I love to be drunk on it anyday!

take your time, I am going to be here to read your part 2 of this..

January 22, 2009 5:17 AM

January 22, 2009 6:53 AM  

addiction to anything... scares me... esp to humans... the have the tendency to hurt you the most...

January 22, 2009 7:29 PM  

absorbin

January 22, 2009 10:11 PM  

been there done that... alcohol doesnt solve any problems though... but it did help me forget them, or maybe remember then even more... whatever it was, it wasn't good. the only thing i have learnt is that dont trouble yourself for an unnecessary and trivial reason. there are others who love you.

and about being irregular, well, my work is very hectic right now... so even i hardly find time to write, let alone read what others post. all the best for your exams.

January 23, 2009 5:30 AM  

lovely description...

n atleast mai to am not abandoning u..

January 24, 2009 5:56 AM  

Just want to say thank ..to evrrrrrrrrrybody

January 24, 2009 6:57 AM  

love is an addiction and affection a habit

creative

January 24, 2009 9:53 PM  

Aah...I aim for a time when I will be able to de-addict myself by my own mind's will, that will be complete rationality: the vision and acceptance of reality.
I believe the mind has a lot of power, even to heal,... ever been unable to do something? You just have to know what does it, sometimes, I become the person who has done it because I cannot bring that quality in me isolated, and it becomes easy... I can speak volumes on this lol.

You do bring up stuff which is like a revision to my thoughts, I'm not gonna desert you! :P

January 25, 2009 2:19 AM  

oi!! first things first.. all the best :)

and we've ALL been there :)

January 25, 2009 9:48 AM

January 26, 2009 12:17 AM  

Really great written! Loved how you caughts the emotions here. In life we lose too often and each time it is not simpler to deal with it. Maybe even more complicated when it happens again.
And girl, we are here.. you just take your time :)
And good luck with exams.

January 29, 2009 12:33 PM  

Perfectly written and, yes it does give an impression that it is about something one is addicted to and cannot do without...
But, in the end -
Life teaches us a lot of things!


Good luck with all your exams
