Melomania

A cosy corner to run up to

A warm hug 

A cup of hot coffee

A splash of raindrops from the first rain

A breeze that brushes your face and hair gently…

A best friend to whom you can spit anything out

To whom you can cry your heart out

A mirror in front of which you can emote anything 

The warmth of your mom’s smiling face after a long day at work

The innocence of a child’s smile

The romance you have with your partner

The joy of completing a creative piece of writing 

Feelings like these and much more,

Wrapped into one state called ‘melomania:’

A state of inebriation which only another music addict will even have the ‘ability’ to make sense of.

The songs…the playlist…the radio.

That go-to music, go-to genre, 

Because music wouldn’t let you down:

A safe haven where you never get judged.

Something you can tune into, for instant relief.

Something that plays at a distance, quite serendipitously

For a melomaniac, it’s the music that renders life to each passing day…

And why not? For music, is therapeutic…!
