Train Station: Poem

 Train Station: Poem

I.

Ordinary train stations –

Tickets and schedules

To any routes and destinations.

People who choose

A railway train station

Has a nostalgic description.

II.

Here she stands

To say last goodbyes.

Her eyes are focused on large clock.

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

Time always flies.

She will be alone

Waiting for a call-phone 

For a letter written to home.

She does not say a word,

O’ Lord!

She knows to be alone, 

Could be an unknown.

But the mind does not go along.

Her thoughts belong

To the century old train station: 

People who go and people who stay.

People who wave

And people who move on.

III.

The last word spoken.

The final strong snug-hug,

And air kisses exchanged in the air.

Memories will hunt

The train station in the dream.

Perhaps it was a tear or few

But both me and you

Are strong like a folklore song.

The lifelong melody is in the backbone

In the arms of the old home

Where you had been born.
