Supraja Kannan Poet Free verse

My Eyes Miss You

Though I feel your warmth near me
Caressing my forehead
I can't touch you

Though I heed your words 
While making big decisions
I can't hear you

Though my heart sees you 
Speaks to you, when I am sad
My eyes can't

Though I call you 'appa' aloud
When I am in danger, you heal me fast
But I can't hear your response

Though I know you are here
Watching and blessing us 
My eyes miss you

Last year,
on the same full moon day,
You barely left us
But I know from then until now
 you are taking care and forever more
 you will bless us
from heaven above

Rama Balasubramanian June 23, 2021 at 9:33 PM You brought tears in my eyes. I feel like that for all elders who have died in family. I agree with you. You said Appa. Are you south Indian like me. My mother tongue is Tamil Supraja Kannan June 23, 2021 at 10:32 PM Yes I am from Tamil Nadu... So glad to hear that your mother tongue is also Tamil ... Where do you live???
