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.

Pride


Pushed me
Down the roof..
With a poof.
The fall stood tall..
Bleeding wouldn’t stall.
Absolutely no pain..
Shock did reign.
Like a sarcastic stain.
Promises went sore..
Kisses felt numb..
Audacity struck dumb.
Flying realism..
Gaping chasm.
Walked past glory..
Caught up in a web.
Of a shiny spider..
Pride won.
As eagerness lost..
To a treacherous rider.
