Driven by passion!

morning spent reading,

fiction - dreaming!

clock shows office time,

rushing - 

bathing is almost a crime...

another busy day goes by,

without understanding-

who knows why...

work so fast,

life is aghast!

tensions keep mounting-

& fervour of work

shows no sign of dismounting..

site visits,

drawing revisions-

portfolios sent -

to potential clients!

meetings & conferences..

rule my appointments.

design so endearing

yet time,

not permitting!

i run & try

to almost fly,

cover the chores

to reach the core-

when evening falls,

& light retreats

signalling an end,

of another breathless fight..

back to my novel,

keeps my mind out of daily muddle..

perhaps,

escaping my responsibilities

running from societies..

is this hobby,

an animate lesson:

man may not be an island-

but he is limited 

only by his lack of passion!

for when i read,

i forget the world;

i forget myself,

& live the life

of characters so craftily created

by persons

not unlike my demented

SELF!
