SHERLOCK
“From The Door Of Your Home-Sweet-Home To The Door Of Your Heart.”
BY XIAOXIAO - 25 JANUARY 2019
You are smart and irrational,
You dazzle amazingly with your keen insights and intelligence.
While playing the melodious violin, you are constantly in deep thoughts,
You add bold and romantic colours to a dull and boring life.
In your lifetime, you have only one friend and his name is Watson,
Under your sharp eagle eyes, pain-staking & mind-boggling investigation, you shine lights to darkness.
One side, you are paranoid, arrogant, and cold as an iceberg,
Another, you are playful and proud, hot as an erupting volcano.
I the first few minutes from the opening season of “Sherlock,” Benedict Cumberbatch's name spread quickly like wildfire on the global social network.

Once you hesitant, it is difficult to keep up with his leaping rhythm.
