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.

The Gift

What do you want ?
It’s your birthday..


Want to be a child..
All day outdoors as I stay..
Sweating profusely ignoring which I play.
Want to go wild..
Nakedly running around..
Flying away the lost kite that I found..
Lying dirty in the runway.


Want to play blind fold..
With a friend as I scold..
Pushing back loosening my hold.
Tricking me into the cave too old..
But when I open to see they are walking beside all the way.


Want to chase a butterfly..
Through the morning sky.
Touching as it flickers with a blink..
Sparing not even a slightest moment to think.


Want to jump into the river..
Splashing water all over..
Icy cold as lips shiver.
Opening to a lost world..
Diving into happiness profound.
While listening to the soothing sound..
Pulling myself to the ground..
Staring at the shore..
I will wait don’t you worry..
When you feel like come around.
