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.

Let Me Not

Let me not sit and cry all day..
Let me not try and stay forever.
Let me not play the sad songs..
Let me not verify all the wrongs.
Let me not fit into the broken picture some way..
Let me not treat the denture with clay.
Let me not count the drops that fell..
Let me not dismount the stories they tell.
Let me not think of what could have happened..
As it didn’t go that way.
Let me not see the false mirage.
Let me not free the glass voyage.
Let me not hold those moments any more..
Let me not frown those laments even more.
Let me not go down the path again…
Let me not show up at the door that has a fake window pane.
