A Carriage Meant for Two (2 Poems: A Rainy Day and Compile)

Tom Wood

 

___A Rainy Day___

 

Riding alone and deprived

In a carriage for two

My mind is thrashing, nowhere to arrive

I need to find  you 

 

My fingers a deep purple

The rain dancing from the clouds

Reminding my quivering self

Of my old, own proud

Self

 And of you 

 

It's mocking me

The sound of the pellets

The pellets that ring

Ring in my ears

So loudly, so loudly...

Almost as loudly as my heart

The thing I desperately need to fix...

 

Here I sit

Listening to my heartbeat

Accompanied by the rains monotonous, enchanting song

But the windows a clear mirror

Of me, the sad sinner

And the rains sympathetic tears

 

I light my pipe

And try to forget this...

This... nightmare

But I hear her sweet whispers,

Growing seemingly near...

It's the freaking rain!

 

I look at the grey glass

I let go of the reins

I see her laughing there

My one and only maiden fair

And then my deep pain

As she left for another

 

At this, my heartbeat began to stutter

And my soul began to flutter

But I swear I hear a mutter...

Her or the rains enchanting voice?

 

She danced away from my warm lively hands

Into that cold, grey rain

And with me, she left all her pain

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

___Compile___

    

A carriage is traveling

Through the plains, through

The valleys, rainy and low

A carriage meant for two

 

Sing me to sleep, rain

Let me sigh with relief

Forget what I left you with...

Forget the pain

 

Stabbing the carriage

My thoughts turn hostile

I thrash and kick

Cry and panic

My bad thoughts compile

 

All I see is her

She’s smiling at me

She leaves that lonely carriage

And eternally leaves me be

 

“Goodbye, my darling

How I’ll miss you so!”

The rain fell harder

Against the one-carriage window

  • Comment from author about the poem: These are two poems from completely different times that I had no clue were so similar! It's really weird how close they are, so I thought I would "Compile" (pun intended) these two to get a better product. Anyway, I hope you enjoy these two poems.

    This peice or peices of work joined together make an almost perfect pf a love youu som much desired, yet the heartaches are the things you do to entice her to fall in love with you. The demise throuhout is truely disastrous, yet every line and word fitted together unlike the love of the pouring saddened rain that managed to soak and almost drown your pain and your sorrow deeply. What an enchanting and lively love pain filled by the emotions you uindergo trying to hold onto what your love carriage carries. The ending caught hold of my heart for you to in the future to hopefully double up upon the two seats with both of you falling in love as you so desired to do so. I love it, To Wood and kep this good work up as you grow into adult filled with such beauty and more. I really love this and thank you for sharing...
