Lingering

spilleronsheet

Sweet candies filling the tongue

candy floss flying by 

kids running across the street 

catching the ice cream guy 

 

balloons fill up the corners

a game of shooting stars 

who wins 

who gambles upon 

the pellets 

for the hanging balloons on the cart 

 

cherry blossoms sweeping the floor

Sweet chocolate melting in mouth 

unwavering desires hinging by 

mind wavers upon past memories 

dwelling upon and mingling on cravings apart

resolving the determination 

holding the weekend short 

shutting the glaring screens 

yellow pages open upon 

 

lingering is the popcorn 

molten in caramel around

streets full of laughter 

seems abandoned upon…..

            Wow Spiller. I literally, LITERALLY, felt like I was experiencing each piece of imagery you've presented. Those childhood memories, so sweet, in all the senses. Your keen and vivid realization of it all is magnificient. Yet the saddening, inevitable, fact, "seems abandoned upon….." This is amazing.

              Thanks dear Rocky. No doubt about some bad memories may dwell the heart but there is no denial that childhood is the most innocent and unforgettable part of our life and these sweet memories makes it worth to remember and relive those memories again and again.
