The Sad Laughter ep.4

One day the café was empty
Outside it was raining and cold
In his corner he was contemplating
Wishing that time he had been bold

Her friends did not want to go
Are you serious? In such weather?
But she had to go because she knew

Seeing him, she would feel better

When he heard the door he knew

Without even turning his head

That she just entered the café

Because his loneliness had fled

She headed for her table

Not knowing if he noticed her or not

She ordered her favorite drink
Black coffee, steaming hot

He put the book down in frustration
He had to do something
She saw him stand and turn towards her
And her heart started pumping

He crossed the place to where she sat
Their eyes upon each other locked
He stood there across the table
And everything else was just blocked

Each looking into the other’s eyes
Their pure souls connecting
How stupid my fear was?
Each was now reflecting

The moment between them stretched
Neither feeling anything without
The his face broke into a smile
He took a breath and opened his mouth

(to be continued)
(Wait for it :-) )

The Sad Laughter ep.3

One time their eyes met

It was the best coincidence

And it fired up their feelings

Thought it was just for an instance

She was going to the bathroom

He was coming out

They found themselves face to face

And none of them could feel the crowd

It was an exquisite feeling

In this moment suspended in time

Like a red hot chili pepper

Or an ice cold twist of lime

Though it was just a moment

To them it felt like ages

What each of them felt

Can fill out pages and pages

Now that she was close

He was sure he is in love

Right there stands an angel

Who came down from heaven above

Looking into his eyes she knew

He was the one for her

No more pain, no more loneliness

Nothing will ever again bother

Then the moment passed

Each went their own way

No one knew what to do

Or what word they should say

And so it goes as usual

Each sitting at their table

She is wishing he would do something

He is feeling he is not capable

(to be continued)

The Sad Laughter ep.5

His face breaks into a smile

And he opens his mouth

But it is pure music she hears

Not words coming out

He says: Hi

I notice you came today alone

I would like to talk if you don’t mind

If you do, I’ll understand and be gone

She smiles back

Feeling her face relaxing

Like a burden being lifted

Emotions no longer mixing

Feeling so relieved

Light as a feather

She says: Hi. Do sit down

And they start off with the weather

His smile seeming different

So full of relief

How smooth it is going

He cannot believe

That chat goes on

Going deeper ever more

They both are wondering

Why they were scared before

The do not feel time passing

All they feel is each other

Coffee cup after coffee cup

Wishing this would last forever

Now they are both sure

That each found the one

And they sit there together

Feeling life has just begun

(The End)

(Hope you liked it)

The Sad Laughter ep.2

She has been coming here for a couple of months

Always with her friends, never alone

But no one ever knew, nor imagined

The loneliness that aches to the bone

She is popular and successful

Everybody thinks she is satisfied

But of the loneliness and living like that

Nobody thinks she is petrified

She always feels she needs someone

Someone to share her life with her

Someone to grow old with

To have, to hold or whatever

He alone filled her life

Just sitting there with his book

And she always has the feeling

That at her way he always looks

But why does he steal those glances?

Why does he not come over?

Am I so intimidating?

Or is he also a loner?

And she cannot go to him neither

She can never do that

What if it is just her imagination?

Then she would look really bad

How she wishes that he sees

That behind the laugh she is so sad

And with him sitting there all cool

It is just driving her mad

So she sits there waiting

And hoping for the best

Not knowing that he does feel her

And none of the rest

(to be continued)

The Sad Laughter ep.1

This is not the first time he sees her

Sitting there among her friends

Talking to this one, laughing with that

The fun seemingly never ends

But he feels something different

It is not happiness that he is seeing

Behind all the talk and the laughter

It is as if she is weeping

What a strange vibe he is receiving

Of such sadness and pain

But how is it possible with all the laughter?

Such sadness he cannot explain

He has been coming here forever

For some years now he liked the place

His favorite corner, a good book and coffee

Feeling comfortable in his own space

The she started coming with her friends

At first, he felt it was an invasion

Then their cheerfulness grew on him

At with time it became their station

And he started noticing her

And getting those mixed feelings

He started noticing the details

And his heart is now pleading

He wants to get to know her

He is longing to discover why the sadness

He just cannot get himself to approach her

With all those people, it’s driving him to madness

Sometimes he feels like

She knows he is watching from afar

So he buries his nose in the book

Not knowing that in her mind, he also has a part

Back to writing

It has been over 2 years since I opened this Blog account. I first wrote a piece I called "First Post" where I simply talked about myself and how and why I am starting to write, and add one more awful writer and even worse blogger to the writing community. I introduced myself as this fresh, green and guileless young man who is aspiring to write only because he read a few books and had the urge to write, and who had written some lame pieces and dreaming of writing something solid to record his own experiment and experience to himself; and no harm in sharing it with some people who might give some feedback.

The for some reason I do not know, it stopped. The blogger took on a new shape and form, for me at least, and it is now integrated with Google applications. But instead of loosing interest altogether, this integration has become so essential and is very tempting to try and write again.

I do have a few ideas I try to write. And it is tough as hell. But so what? Let's try and see how it will go.

Please bare wit me :-)

My first comeback piece is a repost of one of my old "Pathetic" writing attempts. A five part feeble and naive piece called "The Sad Laughter" written in 2010 and inspired by one of my friends back then. It was a kind of challenge. I will post it in episodes as it was written.

And then let's see how can we go on.
