"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.

A very nice story. Its just like memories. Why go back to think them again. if they pain you so much. If you find new ones that can replace them and make you happy; you should stay with them. Love is the same. A lost love that pain your hart is worth forgetting. A great piece you have in here. Great job!!!Thanks for sharing!

How beautiful and sad yet, heart-warming this is. I loved your narrative views. It really opened up the piece like an un-folding story. :)

The story unfolded with narrative skill as we entered into the worries and anxieties of the lost soul... who found a saviour and protector at the 11th hour... Nicely done... a warming tale.

This is a great poem. New love is intoxicating, eyt leaving our safety zone can confuse things. Thank you so much for the chance to read this. A few teeny typos, but it does not distract from the read. Nicely done:-)
