My Fake Daughter, My True Friend, LaurenAt twenty-six, a gentle flame,?
A golden heart, a glowing name.
?With grace she walks, with light she stands,
?A scholar's mind, with helping hands.
What once began with drinks and cheer,?
Evolved into a bond so dear.
?Not bound by blood, but something more,
?A kindred soul I now adore.
She’s laughter in the darkest night,?
She’s wisdom when the path’s not right.
?An...

GhostedThey say it’ll pass
it’ll get better the longer it lasts
They say what’s done is done
but i don’t feel like i’ve won
You took my heart
tore it, broke it, till it fell apart
Now you play the victim
the hole you created, i sit in
I don’t want to become
the monster i’ve come from
Obsessed with yourself, with...

A Soul Hemorrhaged
I feel life breaking a glass, any glass
Or screaming at anyone with or without cause
For now, my breath and tears find no rest,
Seething on a bomb of fury, time claims a place
For rage piercing through my gut too deep...
I never knew he has gone beyond the stars
My soul hemorrhaged, my innocence vandalized--
Please tell me this...

father's dayZero.
I imagine you watched,
With awe and wonder
At the image on the screen,
My movements
In black and white,
As the sonographer moved the wand,
Up and down
The belly of my mother,
Showing you
Mystery and excitement,
The next chapter
Of your lives.
One.
You gave me ice cream
When you
Definitely
Were
Not
Supposed
To,
And I think a bond formed.
Mischief by mouthfuls,
We were already unstoppable.
Two, Three, Four.
Toddler...

Happy Father's DayTo the man who stood so tall,
Who picked me up with every fall.
In life’s loud storm or silent pain,
You stood like shelter in the rain.
When nights were long, and hopes ran low,
You still believed and let it show.
You taught me how to fight, to stand,
To build my dreams with steady hand.
Behind your silence was endless...

YOU WILL KNOW YOUR DADYou will know your dad
when you too became a dad!
You shall feel glad
when you realize, he was your launch pad!
You will appreciate his wisdom
when you shoulder responsibilities of the kingdom!
You will realize his care
when he was dissolved into the air!
You will dearly miss him
when alone, against the tides of life, you swim!
You shall...

Happy Father's Day From A Grateful DadTo each of my children please know I love you.
If you weren't my children, I don't know what I'd do.
As babies and infants you brought me so much joy.
Playing make believe with me as we played with your toys.
Though I must admit changing diapers weren't my style.
But you each got me through it with your...

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...

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

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...
