I glance away as their heads turn
Feeling shamelessly embarrassed
I look at the floor
They return to their stance
Hand in hand, heart in heart
So sickingly in love
Her long flowing hair
Picked up by the wind
Dropped gently on her lovers face
They remain locked in a trace
The world is motionless to them
No one else is important
I see his lips move
And her heart…
Break
Within seconds he’s gone
The only sign he left
Was her tear-flushed face
I watch her
Tear after tear
Minute after minute
She doesn’t move
She doesn’t utter a word
I move closer
Not noticeably
Just enough to focus
I see heartbreak written on her face
Her pretty eyes drown
In a pool of running make-up
She doesn’t care
Her heavy hand moves
To attend to the pools
Swiftly
Did he leave her?
Will he be back?
I feel so involved
Sitting here
Watching her
My heart feels her pain
A sudden noise
Everyone moves
To board the train
She gathers her thoughts
And her luggage
But leaves a bag
A bag full of past memories?
Feelings for he who left her?
Her dirty underwear?
On the train I continue to watch
Her tears continue
I understand.

a poem i wrote back in 2003 as part of a contest.
it isn't the sort of thing I normally write. never before did i sit down and write a poem line after line. i normally take days, rearranging each line time and time again. i personally do not like this poem. |

no, it didn't really happen. we were given a situation/concept for which we had to write a poem, maybe i should find out what it was...
Criteria: Style, Rhyme, prose, whatever your choice. NO offensive language (it will not be accepted in the judging), funny, serious, childrens category or just plain nonsense - you choose.
sitting at a cafe, restaurant, on the bus, train, plane wherever. Describe the people you see, what they wear, facial expressions, age group, accent, male, female, what are they reading anything at all about them. doesn't have to be just one person, maybe a couple or a famly. It must be of a general nature though - nothing offensive at all.
Judging will be 2nd June 2003 to allow all May new Members to enter this challenge.
Have fun- We will look forward to reading your entries.
so, actually, re-reading that, my poem didn't really fit
