Poem 10: A Train Journey
This poem is an imaginary work about a guy and a girl who meet as strangers during a train journey but fall for each other with a dramatic end to their love tale. As this is an imaginary work, the poem may or may not be close to reality.
A Train journey
Guy's version:
Eyes wander through the train window
Forlorn moments, I wish could change
My attention turn! An unheralded beauty
seated opposite to me
Careful glimpses of her adjusting her hair
Rays of light fill the milieu
Tinkles in my ear and symphony of love
Is it love at first sight?
Ineffable! I am not able to talk to her
Will be she respond if i talk?
Sunk in the ripples in the puddles of my thoughts
I relish the short glimpses of her grace
Girl's version:
Seated opposite to me! Handsome but shy!
He is just a stranger, I keep saying to myself
Why am I still attracted by his aura?
Bombarded by myriads of thoughts!
Careful glimpses of him
Enthralled but unable to resist
Pondering whether i should talk to him first
Or wait for him to break the ice?
I get down at my station with sadness
Convicted by his silence, my heart feels heavy !
Ending:
From the train chugging along,I watch her disappear
In disbelief, my heart breaks like a bridge less chasm
