What ails her!

The gentle breeze caressed her 

Her blow dried hair muttering soft

The diamond sparkled in the moist air

Her pale eyes lost in thought!

'Coffee madam', my mom stood in front

Her painted fingers held the cup

Mom waved off with a nod,

What ails her, this goddess, I gaze dumbstruck!

She fiddles with her cell phone

Stares deep into the screen, 

Her fingers tap wistfully

For a second I hear her breathe in!

'Hey take the cup!'

She asks with a frown,

My surreptitious glances laid bare and sore

Out of my trance, I do as I'm told!

All that was right

Determined I was,

To wash off the moments and years

That clung  to me..

Ostracize myself from all that was wrong

Or awfully right!

Determined,

I wipe off the moistness from the hollow of my eyes 

Let eyes glimmer, light and live

Smile away all those excruciating pain

That hit hard once!

Determined, I chose my path

Pressed the delete button with a cool tap

Cathartic it was, I breathed anew

Time to let go, loose ends few.

Moments still play havoc with me,

Moist eyes threaten to overflow,

From delete to Ctrl alt del

My resolve, here you go!
