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.

Darkness

Distant words..
An awkward whisper.
Twinkling dishes..
And a sneaky slipper.
The warmth of a mother..
Pain of a smother.
The wrath of a bother..
Hussle from a gather.
New born squirm..
Midnight glowworm.
Trapped in a kiss..
Last minute stitches.
The seamless moon..
With a hidden tune.
A lonely walk..
And troublesome talk.
An unknown sign..
A puzzled line.
Love spelled wrong..
The end stretched long.
Drops dry up..
Felt a knock at the door.
That could be you..
Don’t want to go if that’s not true.
With heavy knot..
Eyes start to give up.
But thoughts just stare..
Hard to fight flare.
As the dark sinks in.
Beneath the night..
The mind goes thin.
Darkness is mean..
While life turns unseen.
