Philandering, Not Any More! Poem by sreelekha premjit

Not one to stop
to wait endlessly
he preferred to skim
sometimes to scan

once in a while
he stayed longer
and engaged himself
to trade a heart or two


near the curve
by the turn
to the highway cross
a little further the inn

he left a piece
gave a share
of his immense love
for keepsake

and moved on
newer pastures
brighter dreams
a lighter heart

but there it stayed, the love
grew
strong
long
deep


one day
tentacles
drew him in
tight breathless

he gasped
heard a sunshine smile
turned to a few drops fall
and stopped!
