Missing You
Missing you is like missing a shot, It's so very painful because everyone puts the blame of you, It's been a little over 2 years since, July 3, 2021, You were able to see my mom get married again, Though you weren't sitting in a chair down with us, And you didn’t know how to use technology, But I don't think you...

lost my friend to Bipolar
JY and I met through a mutual friend in 1991. We strucked a deal with a handsome transaction, In which we both were in a win-win situation. Since then, we became close friends, Every week, she travelled a long way to see me, Made big efforts bringing sample of deserts. Which she made and delivered to many shops, Displayed closed to the...

Yesterday void of compassion
When yesterdays become devoid of compassion Past once filled with kindness Became stripped of those gentle hues. You look back,see what was care What felt like love now appears tainted by ego The smile you cherished now feels hollow. ...

Shall I Compare You
Shall I Compare You... ? Shall I compare you to the sun? Shining and warm, my dearest one Shall I compare you to the moon? Unique and bright, my greatest boon Shall I compare you to the light? Illuminating what not of sight Shall I compare you to the knight? in honour and dignity willing to fight Shall I compare you to the Queen? Admiring...

DO YOU REALLY MISS YOURSELF?
did you wake today as someone else the one who hides what she can't mend? who once ran wild toward open doors but now just breaks and learns to bend? do you remember how it felt to dream without a second guess? before the noise & before the guilt before survival meant this mess? when did you trade your rest for rush your joy...

The Space You Leave
The Space You Leave I have grown fond of the silence you left, Not empty, Just echoing Grace. It wears your scent in quiet corners, And breathes like you In every space. Your laugh still lingers in the air, A melody the dusk replays, Soft as secrets in the dark, Bold as light that never stays. I don’t speak of missing you, Not quite. But if I did, It...

Gloom descends upon my head, Think it will never end. Paint brush comes out, Primary colors flit about. Across the canvass in wide swathes. Inked in buildings, Some don't last. Of towering structures covered in paint, ...

Death came today... taking my sweet Jess from me; to an even better place, I pray, than this life we shared so passionately. If only I could just hold her, keep her a moment more; but alas, God has called for her, now she sleeps evermore. So many small things I should have told her,...

Long Distance
He speaks in soft, remembered tones, From London flats with aching bones. An Eelam Tamil, far from home, Yet never truly all alone. Love is away from him, But believes his love will get rid of his dim. Across the world, where gum trees sway, She wakes in Shepparton each day. A Malaysian Tamil, steady, bright, Chasing dawns in southern light. Different times, separated love, Their...
