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.

Change The Playlist

If it happens ..
To be the day..
Awful in it’s own way.
Clueless what to say.
Hold on to your fist..
Try changing that old playlist.
Lot of songs..
deleted..
That remind..
Of ways you pleaded..
Ending up getting weeded.
On to daily chores.
Songs that lead tears..
Trample within folklores.
That’s not the need..
Even though the mood is at greed.
Add new songs to be freed.
Still can’t resist?
The old lot..
Which is the thing with soft spot.
End the never ceasing plot..
Sooner to stop messing up the clot.
Put some old ones if you insist..
But avoid repeat of that in the list.
Change the playlist..
Change it likewise…
Change it without going all nice..
With songs unheard before..
With songs that sink to your core..
Songs that forget weaknesses..
That ease through patterns..
Of colorful sequences..
Dragging to footloose..
Ending up with counterfeit snooze.
