Premium MemberMy Dream Within A Dream

She passed away one day-
     my dearest Mom, too soon, so young.
        I felt sad and alone;
so much unsaid, so much undone. 
I begged God, tell me, please
     if she was there with Him
         in Heaven, with no pain;
in Heaven, smiling down on me.

This was the only wish
     I carried in my broken heart
        dreaming of an answer.
With hopeful thinking and prayer,
I begged, “Dear God, please let me know.”
     And so, as time went by,
        this sole wish became the daydream-
that filled my waking day.

Slowly, some weeks went by
     remembering the happy times
        tucked deep within my heart.
But then, she came to me-
sat close to me upon my bed!
     Arms outstretched, with a smile-
        and magic words, “I am okay!"
Thank you, dear God, for granting me- 
        My dream within a dream!

Premium MemberA Beacon of Warmth

A force of nature, with a heart so grand,
She walked this earth, a light in the land.
Our Auntie Dana, fierce and free,
Like the hammerhead shark she loved to see.

She navigated life's deepest, darkest seas,
Finding solace and strength on her bended knees.
In the Bible, her compass, she found her way,
Guiding her through each and everyday.

For her three boys, her love knew no bound,
In their triumphs, her greatest joy was found.
Then came the grandkids, a new chapter to start,
Each one a treasure held close to her heart.

Aunt to so many and mother to all,
With laughter and cheer, 
she banished our sorrows, our every fear.
Her witty humor, her infectious grin,
A beacon of warmth, from deep within.

Though she faced tempests and trials unkind.
A beautiful spirit, she left behind.
So let her memory live, a whisper on the breeze,
Among the vibrant, sunlit, whispering trees.
A testament to a beautiful, brave, and loving heart,
From which we never, ever, have to part.

Love you Aunt Dana, We will miss you!

A GLORIOUS END

Some stories are said
to belong to the wise
to men who have lived long
and know age inside out.

But my mother’s story
is not bound to sages
it can be told by anyone
who ever saw her light.

She lived a life
not made for applause
but etched in undying strength
written on leaves of resilience.

She fought her illness so long
that time itself grew weary
and though her body yielded
her spirit remained unbroken.

On her deathbed she prayed
her voice was as calm as a flow downhill
Even as her last breath left
she smiled like she is not bothered by death

November 8 and Eclipse

my elegy-
my muse covered in death
my wistful cry for help
innocence in her eyes
her last words and hug with a embracing smile

promises made and promises fade
8th of november, when moon turned red
the curse would lift but my roses turned black
the great eclipse returned and claimed another laugh
death of me inside
my lover absquatulated me by that time

lost two souls
on and by-
november 8 and another goodbye
two different years but same eclipse
cursed my sky, stole its shine

Forever Blessed

               Forever Blessed

  I have a feeling that, That One Dy is Close

  As I know you are tired 

  Caring for you, Priceless 
  
 Your strength has inspired me

  To hear your stories,  and and ssee your smile

   Mom I thank you deeply 

   Years past as I understand Life's Journey

   Each day has been engraved memories 

   Forever blessed of these treasures 

   Forever blessed of greatest Mom

when death struck

When death struck

I was rowing in a narrow fjord, and the sea was calm
Then the rocks fell into the water, disturbing the peace 
I rowed on
Until a part of the mountain fell, forming a gigantic wave
I was lifted riding the wave and saw a village disappear.
The boat splintered, but I was safe.
I looked down into the village, people coming out, not knowing
They were dead. I saw them dissolve, becoming drips of water
Before they ran into the sea, who was the mother
I kept on walking and came to a valley of roses, and they knew nothing
Of the tragedy that befell the people in the fjord.
I built a house in the belief that here, the sea would never reach me.

A day for a day

I’ve made a deal,
not much of a price was paid.

One last family meal together—
Dad’s cheeks rosy,
my mother happy,
a playful pinch from my brother,
my sister’s belly laugh.

“What is your favourite room in the house?”
At 8, I said my room.
I was alone a lot,
and convinced myself I liked it.

But now,
in my late twenties,
I cry myself to sleep.
I’ve traded a day of my life
to relive another.

At 25
inside my 8-year-old body—
how do I answer?

The living room.
Where we lived the most together:
movie nights,
salty French toast,
big games,
rewatching recitals—
eating, laughing,
breathing together.

My chest tightens,
my eyes swell.
My dad rests his hand
on my shoulder.

“Well said, baby.
I like this day too.“

agony

a shriek,
	a high-pitched scream echoed against the walls,
lightning flashed,
	thunder rumbled deep and hard into my chest.
 pain,
	tightness,
		ache,
			sorrow.
it cannot be real, this is not happening, I cannot believe it.
to never again see,
talk,
hug,
love on,
		joke,
dance.
our son was –
our only boy was – 
our eldest child was – 
our headache was – 
our heart was – 
our angel is – 
forever 26.

To my big brother

Roses may be red
And violets blue
But one thing for sure
Is my life is sad without you

You will never get to see me grow
As your time came and you had to go

So here is a promise to you my big brother
I promise to always protect our mother
I will comfort her when she’s feels sad
I hope that makes you feel glad
I will make him smile as he is our dad
And I will try my best not to be bad

But my brother remember one thing
You will always be missed
Until the next time
You can be kissed

A black mothers sacrifice

Broken cries diluted the still waters
A mothers pain as she prepares a better life for her daughter
Her bones ached with exhaustion 
Her fractured breathing heavy with guilt 
Buy she knew this was the right decision 

She wraps her baby in a blanket made of love and sacrifice
She hoped these feelings would be carried into her child's next life 
I'm the early morn before the rising of the sun 
She sung lullabies from her mother She learned
Before giving her only child a tender kiss on her forehead 
Then ending her last moment with a hug

Her child's cries drowned out by the silence of freedom
Her child sunk to her watery grave
Protected from ever becoming a slave
She was born to be free
And that all her mother ever wanted her to be 

Her love for her daughter transcended time 
She felt a hole in her chest 
As if she had been hit with a bullet 
But she would do it again if it protected her daughter from enslavement 
Even if it meant the loss of her child would break her 
But a mother love is selfless
It's why her daughter kanoa had to be let go
Her name important, her name meant the 'free one'
Her daughter the epitome of freedom

Premium MemberMy Mother Died

my mother died,
i was to die with her.
that was the pact, you see,
my dad & i made together.

while my mother died,
i never left her side;
over & over calling her name ,
hoping to send a spark to the flame.

but still my mother died.
now i'm naught but a shell;
because the day my mother died
i cursed my soul to hell.

i'll never be free
of this wrath brought on by me,
for every hardship i suffer
lets her know how much i love her.

but since my mother died
i wonder if she can hear
my screams of pain & anquish,
wishing she were near?

and though she's dead & gone
i swear forever long
tears for her I'll always cry
until the day i die.

Premium MemberTrue Story

Walking in the front door with my sisters in tow, the phone on the sideboard in the dining room started ringing incessantly.  Upon answering the phone, a very determent voice accosted my ear with, ‘You are the lucky winner in our draw to receive a Life Coat makeover for your house—‘
‘This is not my house …’
‘Well, may I speak to Mr “X”?’
‘No, sorry. My father passed away an hour ago. We have just returned from the hospital—‘
The register in his voice went up an octave: ‘Well, put your mother on the phone, then.’
‘She passed away last week—‘
‘Of all the [expletive] excuses I have ever heard …’ And with that he slammed down the phone.

laughter is
the best medicine

s.c.a.n.d.a.l.i.s.e.d

        don’t judge
                    till you know 
                             the story …

Premium MemberA Directional Curse

A Directional Curse

The first time I heard
“Go to hell.”
where it seemed
not just an aimless curse
but a direction.

The empty soul
in bright orange;
couldn’t miss him,
but they aim to.

No emotions,
just a fly on the wall
on sticky tape.

He can’t escape
the familys’ words -
they will be heard.

One father moved
the lectern
to face the beast,
to chastise him
to his face.

One mother preached
with scripture keepsakes
leaving his fate to God.

One day can shatter
so many lives;
temporal tears
will be wiped away
by God.

We don’t teach
our kids to say,
“Go to hell,”
except to send the devil
back where it belongs.

Premium MemberThe execution

The women fell upon the bodies of the dead,
clearing blindfolds for one last look upon their face.
Shot, against a carmine wall, no matter how they pled.
So now they mourn them through a veil of blackened lace.
A mother presses lips upon a virgin son;
a bride, in bloodstained white, whispers; she is to be;
a sister screams, at smoking guns, what have you done?
A Captain brushes some cigar ash from his knee.

Sometimes in Srebrenica

It might be a city of paradise in Bosnia,
Its memories are as fragile as a vase 
The horrors and tears stained on the canvas of time
And it's something that no one forgets.

With a child snatched from his mother,
Begging her to pray for his soul
As fear ascends like a dark cloud
Standing in line and awaitng the bullet of death.

Why does it always hurt us much?
Hatred with all in the name of religion,
We deserve to live as equals
And always pledge to "Never Again."
