lingering thoughts

Those lingering thoughts

In  they tiptoed and I fought

Messing up this sparing lane of mine

Groping with enlightened thoughts divine

Far in the dead night

In to the hollows of the creeping fright

They stalked……….

And I fled…………….,

Crippled and squeezed……..

I twisted and crawled………

Pushed  and gathered………….

A handful of  me…………

And then I grew……

Sprouting in sunlight milieu……

Folding in out…………

Crumpled and erect………

From docile to deft

Its me as I shouted aloud…………….

To enliven my life bereft…….

Spring did set in……….

As it flew and came……..

Another monster……..it said

You have tamed………..

Those lingering  thoughts…….

Zigzaged their way

…..with my bliss

An irrefutable  play

Drenched as I sighed………

Life must have giggled at my plight……….

But the spring never gave in

It cuddled me in its

Effervescent grin

Borrowed wings……

To fly and win

Craddled and rocked…..

with her tender strings

those lingering thoughts……

 still tiptoe and throng

a brute from a minion……

still……..a tussle…..

to assign it to oblivion…….
