Fatal Attraction (Acrostic)

This acrostic i did long time back..somehow was never convinced enough to publish it. It's got no underlying tone.. no innuendo either! Just perhaps the satirical musings of an AIDS patient. I really don't know if I like it. :) Yours to judge now.


Frozen in time

Awed by you..

Thoughts of your obsession

Alluring antagonising me

Languishing in the lap of death


Accentuated desire,

Tormented heart,

Tumultuous conscience or was it the

Raging hormones? I know not. But

AIDS is how I know it

Call it a disease, yes, but

To me - a dead-end. and

I walk on..

On the road to the morgue

Never again to get lucky in your obsession!

  1. I am glad you posted this, it's heart breaking, but true, and these things must be said, must be brought to the light. So many young folks, all around the world is suffering from a disease I believe came from a test tube. Thank you for posting this.

  2. Hi Amias! I am glad you liked it! I had never tried an acrostic on a social issue and somehow the first thought that came to my mind about FATAL ATTRACTION..was of AIDS.. if you liked it then Im glad I wrote it. It had been sitting in the recesses of my files for quite a long time now!
