Good day charm

I get off
The crowded
Daily local
After struggling
With
Bodies and bags,
Jostling my way to front,
And then hopping down
Against the
Trickling speed of wheels.
I exhale
The sweat laden
Thick salty air.
One deep breath.
At that moment,
I can/will justify
All the hoopla
Behind
The fresh evening air.
I walk back
To
My room
Coming across
Familiar faces
Primarily because,
We share the same routine.
However,
There are
No acknowledgments.
Except for
One crippled man,
Balancing on crutches,
Waving out,
And
Muttering unintelligibly.
Like a good day charm,
I wait

To cross paths with him.

    Hey, Ruby! It's nice to see you back around these parts. :)

    What an interesting piece you have here. I read it twice and got different things out of it each time. I just love your style. Thanks for linking up with KetchupWithUs. Please come back again on the 15th.

Showstopper's Yesterday

The 12 inch heel, the confident gait, The measured steps, the sudden halt, The blush on cheeks, the smoldering eyes, The hands on hips, head held high, The silken gown, barely there, A tilt of neck, balanced well, The sultry glance, timed right, Perfect half twirl, played twice, With a graceful swirl, she turns back. The world looks on with stolen breath, Oohs, aahs, applauds, encores. The showstopper’s yesterday, Now hangs in a gallery, Fading parchment, guarded unnecessarily. No shadows of glamour come a-chasing, For vacant eyes and sagging skin, For shattering illusions, hanging questions, Am I never going back?

Faint glimmer in heart

Ripe autumn air’s come to bless. Showering sweet November caress. We could be holding hands and walking, Silent but still talking. Faint glimmer in heart. White winters, no flowers in sight. Frosty December moonless night. And here I am hoping for your arm, To keep me safe, to keep me warm. Faint glimmer in heart. The year twenty twelve is leap they say. Oh! I can hope some more, there’s one more day. Hope for smiling summers with you, Hope for blessings to rain through. Faint glimmer in heart. Dying, not yet vanished, There’s a faint glimmer in this heart. Linking with Trifecta : Week Fifty Linking with Velvet Verbosity : 100 Words

The pain is all gone

It wasn't the first time. And it would not be the last. She could not stand them suffering like that. She asked for his consent. He expressed his willingness in whimpering sounds. And the pain was gone – forever. Linking up with Trifecta : Trifextra - Week Nineteen
