Thoughts, Wishes and You

It’s been a very long time since I thought to write a poem crossed my mind – and for somebody who used to write a poem every day- its been a very long block. I know this poem isn’t going to be close to how I used to write before, but what it could be, hopefully, is a start to writing poems again. Here goes:

In a loud chatter, between conversations,
Within a noisy room, full of people-
For a moment then,
Your thought skips my mind.
A plastered smile, with a nodding head,
Chatting away, as you would have said,
Like in every moment now,
Only your thoughts stay behind.

I have tried- and failed- and tried,
But my mind wanders, and your thought resides.
It wasn’t going to be easy,
But, I didn’t decipher it this hard.

In a silent void, no chatter, no voice,
Not necessarily with four walls, but my solace,
For a moment then,
I hope you skip my mind.
A heavy heart, and head hung low,
Listening to music, and my heart beats grow,
Like in every moment now,
I wished you had stayed behind.
