Me and my thoughts

Born from the Greek Language The word has travelled to France And then settled in English Though, not in regular use today The word has a unique meaning Something close my heart And to every foodie in town Gastro translates to stomach And nome means laws Surprisingly it is a noun And it interprets as 'connoisseur of good food' Food is more than fuel to many And the words to define it Beholds the same 

The journey was long and tiresome Sleep seemed to evade me as usual I checked my phone for the umpteenth time My heart longed for a miracle I was too immersed in my world That I almost missed her A stranger and a companion for the journey A courtesy smile and a couple of words We both sank into our worlds As the vehicle made its way rippling through the silence of the night Her hand typed fastly She held a stiff posture I could not decipher if it were the travel stress or something more Her eyes bore a hint of melancholy Maybe hers reflected the emotion in me Or perhaps she was stuck in an intangible mess like me I will never know
