A Grieving Traveler

I sat in a train again Without you... I sat with pain again Without you.. I wish you were there I wish to get back your stare I wish to share some words How I wished to look out of the window the same way as yesterday.. This journey that I start again Without you... This journey that I pause more often Without you... As there is no one to put a hand on My shoulder of disdain.. As there is no one to just make a  Harmless gesture of being insane.. How I wished to sip that cup of tea with a relentless life beyond the sea waiting to be free.. *Dedicated to my mom as she shares her feeling of loneliness after my dad passed away last year. They both used to love traveling together... * picture courtesy the author while she captures this on her train ride to  Carlisle, PA.

Growing Up

I wonder with the years passing by,
Will I ever be able to fly....

I see the sun the same way,
But the shine feels  fading away...

I feel the moon closer to my heart,
And the nights indulging deeper in thoughts.

I try to go back in time to taste the sweetness of lime,
to get to touch my childhood which was glorious and sublime..

I don't want to get worried for the most,
I want to skip growing up at any cost..

Well there is a way you can,
Don't have to fight with the whole clan..

You live up to what you have wanted,
And then think about what all you wished for was granted..

Looking at it this way isn't that bad,
People always find their reasons to be sad..


Life can never be rainbow clad,
Sometimes you need to get drenched in the rain still feeling glad..

For pain it coexists making you stronger to persist,
And Happiness is a myth underneath a shining sheath.
