My Father's Love Echo
The arrival of his departure
(A numb and cruel upheaval starter)
was an emotional core rupture;
a visual goodbye to my father.
I saw his final, last inhale
that would never flow to release.
I saw his life light fade to pale
before leaving to forever peace.
In time, I joyously came to know
his essence was such a strong force,
he could bend...

dreaming daughterdreaming daughter ascends starlit harbor....
to her father's biding love
he is as she remembered....jovial in the
way he was on earth
they embrace in the twilight....stars fill
their tearful moonlight eyes
navy dad once....now on god's deployment
awaits final reunion...

WHAT I WISH MY FATHER TOLD ME
My father leave me since child,
I was about seven years old,
Nothing I remember which he told,
Than mother ice cream to sold.
My father have not yet died,
But he has kept me aside,
Phoning him a lot I have tried,
My calls ended without being applied.
Sometimes I fill myself bad,
Like I am not his blood,
How he has keep himself...

HyvastiButting heads, locking horns
the difficult child of three
if anyone was causing grief
It was always going to be me,
a stubborn chip
from a stubborn old block
never at ease we two
so I left and made a life for myself
far from the one you knew,
you pushed too hard to tie me down
I went and you felt betrayed,
you...

Love Ends In Cemetery[Verse 1]
Well, hello there, Romeo — didn’t hear you knock
Waltzin' in like love ain’t got a lock
You've got big dreams and a borrowed car
And a fistful of daisies like that’ll get you far
She’s got your name in her diary heart
But I’ve seen boys like you come apart
You think you're chasing paradise and lace
But you’re one...

What If He Says That to Our Daughter-In the dead of night, when the world is silent, her whispers haunt the shadows of my mind.
“Daddy, I’m so tired… I don’t want to be here anymore.”
Her small voice, trembling like a ghost, echoes in my heart — a chilling reminder of the fragile life we’re trying to hold together.
Late at night,
when silence drapes...

He Grew Old
When he was young. I thought he was old. It never occurred to me that I might be wrong. That old wouldn’t show up for years and years, decades even. He wasn’t tall like my grandfather. But he wasn’t short either. He had a habit of biting his cuticles that I inherited and would be...

The Rooms he no longer Enters
His soul portrays the eyes of a wolf,
lost without his pack - banished from his territory.
In his deceptive demeanour,
hiding his depressive state - he howls at the moon.
An outcast unable to dream,
he adorns a false smile at sunrise,
as he's still scarred from
the house he once built - brick by brick.
Where walls of lullabies,
were created...

Time Writes in Rhythms of Light
there were times when I did not understand him
times when I fought with my heart, to remember
time would not forget the days that were so grim
it wouldn’t be that long, just before December
he would tell us that love had come to his life
years after this, I’d see that stirring ember
sparks of hope divine to heal...

You knock nowFather
I miss you
I wish we were close
You're not that far,
we're in the same house
We eat dinner together
We converse by silence,
You smile at me, fill the space
with jokes and love
That we both know I won't respond to.
But we pretend, we all do,
That we are a happy family.
Like I don't just act like you don't exist.
You...

A Prayer to My God for My FamilyLord, it is to you only this father prays.
Show my children and grandchildren the right way.
Please open their hearts to grasp your words.
Open Lord their ears so that you'll be heard.
Jesus open the Disciples minds as part of his plan.
Please open theirs too, so they might understand.
Make them hungry enough to crave you everyday.
Draw them...

Picture thisPicture this
You're eight years old, in your bedroom,
playing with your favorite stuffed animals.
But not far from your door, the sounds of raised voices echo-voices that do not sound happy.
You shift your focus back to your toys:
Three different teddy bears.
One is the daddy, one is the mommy, and one is the daughter.
You make the bears do...

Beautiful ladyBeautiful lady
She had her
daddy's eyes
She had her
Mom's smile.
She had her
grandpa's strength
She had her
Grandma's style.
What a beautiful lady
she would have
turned out to be.
Oh wait a minute,
she did,
that beautiful lady
was me.

In-between worldsTake me down the cobbled path
Where moss and grasses grow
Sink my heels in dampened sand
Where oceans ebb and flow
Let the breeze sweep through my lips
The sunshine warm my skin
Let the dew drops gently fall
Where mornings will begin
Dance me though the scattered corn
And twirl amongst the stars
Let the rain splash down the stream
To the world...

The Circus Narrativeshe hears the cheering,
the big drums, the cymbals
and daddy’s narrative.
…hears the crowd’s laughter,
the clown’s are after.
her heart beats rapidly
at the possibility
that the pail
could contain
confetti or water
…the blind muses.
she sees
what she calls gray,
the big elephant
on parade.
she’s so high
on a tightwire -
she exhales clouds.
she sees more than
the audience.
she breathes
