Love letter from Komalavalli - Story in Verse (seekersought)

I used to wear my hair long
and had a permanent beard
then when my lips bore Beatles song
I liked to be seen and heard

My youth drunk in recklessness
nothing felt impossible
I swaggered in casual carelessness
to be unloved seemed improbable

We huddled by parking spaces
talking music, naxalism, poetry
we wore such enigmatic faces
in love with ourselves dearly

To borrow your words a bit, (and return them to you a little  dirtied),

I'm
"unwilling to refute
that which roused my blasted mind
was not caffeine, but your Caferati post"
