Suddenly we met again that day,
On a railway carriage.
Our destinations were different,
Our glances were recurrent,
For some time we were near
Each other, though not together.
I had to disembark first,
With no word said but smiles cast,
Half acknowledged and half lost,
While I kept my fingers crossed.
Couldn't know your destination
As I didn't ask about your station.
Wondered where you would go,
Which home you would enter,
Which bed you would retire on,
And like your old habit,
Would you read a poem or two,
From the book kept under your pillow?
Would you wander to a fairyland,
While still holding the book in hand,
Would you see a dream wide awake?
Where slowly appears a poet's visage,
One that you love or not, is a mystery,
One that creeps into the lines of poetry.

Would you wander to a fairyland, While still holding the book in hand, Would you see a dream wide awake? Where slowly appears a poet's visage, One that you love or not, is a mystery, One that creeps into the lines of poetry. Nice imagination!
@Sandra Feldman, Thanks for leaving such a remarkable comment on my poem. 'Love, Mystery, and Poetry intermingle in this rhythmical Masterpiece' is a high tribute I could have hardly imagined I deserved. Thanks from the core of my heart!

Thanks for picking up this poem to your 'MyPoemList'. Much inspired by the appreciative comment. It's indeed a 'made up story' as you guessed it right. :)
Often, I think of those lost opportunities, to engage in opening a door to a dialogue, that could have unlocked the mystery of the unknown. The what it's..... I love this scribe. A story, only you can properly tell. PEACEful parting.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful comment, @Susan Lacovara. I have just read your wonderful poem- 'Seeking Sanity' and left a comment there.
