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.

Labyrinth

I fell down
amid the streets 
got up
dusted myself
wishing 
noone had seen
how I have been
wishing a path
to light beyond
this wrath
to fight beyond 
this aftermath 
but nothing so far
wishing for 
the next turn
after this heavy run 
that can predict 
that the fall can be fun
wishing for
lesser bleed
that doesn't stain the meed
but only
calms down the greed
within that
speaks of being sober 
wishing for
greater stride
when I climb down 
the mountain of pride
while I see faces
that grinched 
at me over and over
wishing fate
to debate
until after
the slate to
be wiped clean
from constant slaughter
wishing pain
to be part
of very much
everything
so that you 
aren't left alone
under a sad looking stone
