Missing YouMissing 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...

Something's missing
there's something missing
i don't know what
but that gaping hole
leaves me feeling blue
there's an emptiness within
whose silence is louder than its scream
~ a heart in constant search with
hunger pangs that have no remedy
so night and day i seek for that
special something that feels like peace

lost my friend to BipolarJY 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...

Why is Fred MissingCollecting collateral fuzzy Fred said
Keeping the secret of his co-worker Ned
Ned was unconcerned, he paid the money
Fred is missing, reported his live-in Honey
This man has not been found since ‘84
Ned is relieved, he’s not been extorted anymore...

Louder than an ocean's chime,
I hope you'll find the time
To come and find me again.

i hope you'll look for me

Missing outin a world of make believe
of people hooked on games
and scenarios seen on screens
people have become expendable
everyone is now jaded
content in their isolation
closing in onto themselves
with a growing distaste for socializing
we've become cynical and antisocial
friendship no longer a commodity
we smile and nod without oversharing
not letting anyone into our bubble
time is a factor we refuse to...

Yesterday void of compassionWhen 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 YouShall 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 LeaveThe 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...

Missing Window
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,
...

A Single FlowerDeath 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 DistanceHe 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...
