ONE WAY TRAFFIC

Our love is cemented

as I smile into your eyes

The pain is melted

as if it never existed

behind the closed doors and

the four walls that surrounded.

  

Your eyes it seems don't care

any longer...they rest on me

but for a moment...and in a flash

back to the television or the newspaper

Soon a bell rings and your eyes

shift to the telephone.

 

My eyes follow your hands lovingly

and admire your silhouette

even after twenty one years...

I force back to my mind the

pleasant memories of the past

that help me live for the future.

 

Now your eyes are on the

food I made through the morning

but you are merely reminded of

your mothers cooking...and silently

like milk I am coming to a boil...

 

I realise with a wry smile

that all these miles

I have walked a road

which was marked by

a signboard that said

"ONE WAY TRAFFIC".

 

Yet our love is cemented

as I smile into your eyes

and wait for the pain to melt

and fresh flowers to bloom

within my four walls that

shield me from the world...
