Elegy Of Thought




Yesterday, I met a wonderful young lady,
she had a strange walk about her, a strange sort of talk,
a strange sort of smile and a strange sort of knock
was on my door when she had come searching.
The lady named thought had sought my help,
in great depression and distress she cried and whelped
out a thousand things that was wrong her life.
She had been hitherto a good and faithful wife
and a life long companion of the mankind,
but now, nobody in her, did any use find.
Now, I am no Plato nor an Aristotle,
but I am merely a mortal
trying to live his life - I explained.
But she wouldn't stop, stop the complains. 
All that she said seemed to make sense
But I didn't have no time or any pence 
to throw on her bowl of attention
which angered her and she left my home with a strong intention
of never returning back.

Good riddance - I meant to think,
but lo! Found myself unable to do so!
Staring at the objects, blinking blankly,
I did what was told. 
Am I loosing, loosing my mold? 
Or is this the way it was meant to be? 
Stop casting your prying eyes on me!
Confused and conflicted.
The mirror reflected
the spinning hands of the clock
which laughed and mocked
the years I spent in disease. 
Will somebody help me, please? 

Today I met a wonderful young lady,
she had a strange walk about her, a usual sort of talk,
a usual sort of smile and a usual sort of knock
was on my door when she had come searching.
The lady named thought had come my help,
while in great depression and distress I cried and whelped
out a thousand things that was wrong my life.
She had been hitherto a good and faithful wife
and a life long companion of the mankind,
And now I realize that all I ever needed
was there in her to find.
