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.

A Boy Who Touched The Sky

sand and mud
splattered on his dud
he watches his
shoes sinking
deeper in pool
a stone 
at sight
he doesn't want 
to fight
but that seems
the only way
to keep him cool
he thrashes
and there goes
the stool
flying through the sky
a story to boast about
as birds don't lie
the crying soul
went dashing 
through the door
calling foul
roaring back 
comes a clutter
for a boy 
the success matters
so he gathers
his wet shoes
and tries to
adjust the 
stance
forgetting the
simple fact
of he didn't 
stand a chance
and with a dance
or two
he runs like a fool
towards the old school 
with the thought 
of ghosts
playing dust off
while his feet
had started to give up
rolling 
over the grass bed
his breath wide spread 
a dragon cloud
soaring high
flew right amidst the
floating sky
the bird
waved him slight 
flying to go out of sight
he had lost and found
his try 
beyond the mighty sky
while fresh droplets 
felt on his face 
ended up the chase 
rain had 
made the dragon cloud
to surrender
a dream to ponder
yet again
while he held his wet shoes
walking down under
the rainbow
that bridges his 
imagination 
to touch the sky 
right over his head
he jumps..
