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.

Friend

Close your eyes..
Rest your head..
As you find a shoulder of a friend.
Sit back..
Track the sun..
While it sets..
As by your side..
Sipping coffee is a friend.
Laugh louder..
Voice getting bolder.
Echoing amidst the crowd..
Peeps a friend.
Cry childishly..
Turning nose red.
Rolling over the grass bed.
While lying still next to you is a friend.
Thinking of them..
Ballistic overwhelm.
As dreamt of flame..
That fire in you is a friend.
Departed..
Forgotten..
Hiding behind days..
Where once upon a time was a friend.
Nothing can be it..
Replacing a heart beat..
Waiting all night on the street.
Sitting in a room filled with heat.
Changing to be upbeat..
Tears of joyous fleet..
Just to see you is a friend.
