As she opens the door
with the anticipation
eyes frantically looking
and gazing into the emptiness
looking for that loved face
she always adored
a chill went down her spine
and fearing the worst
seeing the two soldiers
with a crestfallen look
on their dejected faces
at her door
she banged closed the door
trying the erase that moment
in time
shutting her eyes tightly
holding the screeching
pain behind
she never wants to open
that door again
let it remain frozen
in time
can’t muster the strength again
to listen to the awful news
she is denying.

I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts.
I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones.
I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly.
Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation.
Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.

Your poem reminds me of Justin Moore’s song “The Ones Who Didn’t Make It Back Home.” The words in both express the sudden heartache experienced when a loved one doesn’t return home.
