I Love Stories

I Love Stories

A Poem by Harshita Srivastava


I love stories.
Stories about heartbreaks,
About crimes , about fairies.
I love the tales
Of magic and of feuds.
Stories of chocolate houses,
Of murder and disgust.
I love stories.
Those outpoured feelings of
Pain , jealousy, euphoria.
The reflex of empathy,
And of sympathy.
Tears roll down,
Listening to some stories.
I love their taste.
I smile at some,
Laugh at some,
Screech in disbelief,
Gape at absurdity,
Fall in love with the rest.
I love stories-
Their characters, their essence,
The stories within them.
I feel like living
In one of its pages-
The one with a torn end.
Somewhere between
The elves and rapists.
Somewhere indefinitely.
I love stories,
Of all kinds.
