"new love"

She'll be flying to her hometown tomorrow
The warmth of the radiator
brings the feeling of going home.
Another wintery day makes her whole being shiver.

From the window...
the silence fills the empty streets
Her heart wanted to shout
like an airplane screaming through the air.

She queried...numerous times
like a slight whisper of the wind
Would she start the journey or not?
and conceal all the excitement she has?

She then suddenly wept with frustration
a feeling of hopelessness
runs through her veins
today...she's at sixes and sevens.

another sleepless night
she perceives she'll have tonight
as her minds stuffed with odd notions
she laughed to herself
coz she thinks she's running like a headless chicken.

woke up with sadness in her face
she  then decided to leave the house
this time...went out
she strode off in confusion.

she drags her bags
and off to the train station
as she gets nearer
there she was, looking frail
she kept walking and lost her way
found herself feeling discouraged and downhearted.

part of her wanted to leave to see her one true love
and part of her wanted to stay in freezing cold weather
thinking that she'd rather endure the pains
than coming back home for a vacation
knowing that her love will not be with her anymore.

why does all those poignant memories
seem beyond endurance?
now...she fainted and
the moment she regained her consciousness
a massive crowd was around her.

gently, she opened her eyes
there was this man, staring at her
while he patiently waited for her to speak up
this kind hearted bloke,unexpectedly became her knight.

he walked with her and helped her find her way
and asked her where she was heading to
she said...i'm home already!
she couldn't understand why she said that
as if she travelled so long and found the gold at the end of the rainbow.

from then on...
her heart started to beat again  with happiness
this man took away gloomy days and sadness
she then never came back to her hometown
as now her heart's filled with new love.

I think you present your work in a very interesting way. As the reader I felt like I was going through the pain with the point of topic because it was presented as if I was pulling her scattered thoughts and fears as they were raw and emerging. Good creativity in the presentation.

you have a very nice concept going on with your stories and book written in the form of poems (it's great there are people doing a comeback for this historic "style", where all literature rooted from)this was a very compelling read, the emotional scenery you paint, but also the inner contradictions and doubt. Very nice.

This was such a beautiful poetic story. It was filled with sadness but at the end- there was hope! I loved it. Great job!

[Brokensoul]

Quite a beautiful story written in poetic language.

epic story, and the poem style writing certainly makes it unique. really nice work here and keep it up!

each love is the "first" one...
This is a painfully beautiful story you paint with your words. So much to experience so much to learn to finally arrive at the right destination, though not necessarily the one we originally aimed at.
I am looking forward to reading about the "new" love :)

[Jenny Nelson]

Excellent. Much emotion conveyed. A picture painted well. Well expresses how confusing relationships and life can be until we find someone to help us pull it all together and figure out what and who really matters to us.
