Adam’s Ale

Adam’s Ale
—the old name for water, the first drink, the simplest thirst.

Bougainvillea, thorn-armored bloom,
plankton drifting—algae, crustaceans—
a hidden kingdom in an inland basin,
non-oceanic water breathing its own tides.

I splash my face in the reservoir,
Adam’s ale cooling my skin,
while light bends and scatters—
I am refracted,
a prism made of flesh and ache,
splintering into the many rays of sun.

I sit beneath an arboreal sky,
ceiling woven from foliage and verdure,
cathedral of green where shadows
keep their soft liturgy.

Saudade gnaws the marrow of light,
and my sunlit heart caves inward.
I hunger for your presence,
for the echo of your breath in the leaves.

If the day could linger—
just one more turn of the earth—
I would not ask for forever.

But even plankton drift toward dark,
their glow extinguished in the basin’s hush;
so too my heart, without your light.


Premium MemberOne Year On

On your first anniversary tears are shed.
More than memories, we want you home instead.

You're my first and last thoughts every day.
You'll journey on within me.
Your memory will not fade away
As long as I live and breathe.

Like the glow of a fire in the wintertime,
Your love warms this heart of mine.

I close my eyes and I see your smile.
I fold my arms and feel your hug.
I watch your shows and hear your laughter.
I sit in the dark and see your light.

I'll carry your light wherever I go
You're no longer here but I love you so.

When I see something awesome I hear your "Wow!"
And feel your emotions during certain songs.
Though we can't communicate,
Somehow I know the things you'd say.

Thinking back, I still wonder why
We never got to say goodbye.

Even you didn't know yourself
That your time to fly had arrived!
You are cherished and loved by all you knew
And today you unite us in thought.

It's hard to believe you've been gone for a year.
Miss you lots Nana...wish you were still here.

Premium MemberMissing You

There is nothing I want more 
Then to be home with you
And I would be if I could
There's nothing I wouldn't do

But it's more than the miles
That are keeping us apart
If I can't hold you in my arms
At least I hold you in my heart

It causes me so much grief
Having to be away from you
I'm longing for the day when
Our time apart is through 

The miles between us disappear 
And I'll be at home with you 
My life will be whole again
It'll be like a dream come true 

But until then all I have
Are these calls on the telephone 
And your picture by my bed
To keep me from feeling alone

Premium MemberNo More Goodbye Tears

For Steve with Love
your feel
still comes
to me
when I 
recall
our love
filled years

our shared
passion
goes on
inside
my heart
though gone
are tears

decades
went by
while I
cried ‘why
did you
so choose
to die’

I know
in time
we will
unite
where love
feels no
good-bye

Mom said NO

what was I supposed to do
Mom said no
She didn't believe me
Mom said no
each time I told them
Mom said no

I tried all the ways to get you to stay
porch night calls
Mom said no
to get them to see
that you needed help-
more than leaning on me
Mom said no

Just a joke you said
that your brother would tie you to the bed
father-brother-you
I tried to speak but no one cared
if a troubled kid is in despair

a friendship bracelet
your treasured boon
our souls entwined, I abandoned you
Mom said no

that awkward pause
what could I do
as you stood by the door
sunk in yourself 
as you did on the floor
Mom said no

a soft request
the crushing weight
"can I stay the night"
Mom said no


Premium MemberUnforgettable

We talked a lot, we shared some dreams
My very special friend
And though you might not do the same
I'll love you 'til the end
In time the memories gather dust
Their sharpness not as fine 
Into the background fade they must
But always they'll be mine
Important though the details not
Remember I'll at will
Your smile recalled on the spot
You're unforgettable

Premium MemberI Dream

As I look at the stars at night
and dream of what is to be,
my heart begins to smile
for it is you I see.

Knowing that you're close,
yet so far away,
I dream of you at night
and think about you every day.

For, every moment without you
seems like an eternity.
I dream of the day we kiss
and I can hold you close to me.

So, until that day comes,
you'll always be on my mind.
I will love you till the end,
till the end of time.

It never ends, does it

It's amazing, they were right!
It all gets easier in the end
The pain of grief and loss subsides
And the sun can shine again

The moments are much happier
And it all just melts away
When not that very long ago
I couldn't make it through the day

The little things become so big
When your world is all askew,
Quiet, fleeting, the passing vivid
memories of you

It wasn't easy in fact, quite hard
Adjusting to all alone
If all It took was these 12 months
I'm glad that I've now grown

I can now move on, and dare I say
Be happy late at night
It's not so dark without you here
Ive finally seen the light

One last thing before I go
Im glad you held me high
Oh, don't believe what you just read
It was all a blatant lie.

Home

If home is a place
Then I lost my map
Hearts got misplaced 
Vocal cords snap

I scream and yell for one more chance
Then beg and plea for some closure
My legs are tired of this dance
Now I've lost my composure 

Teary eyed and red
Weight gained and lost
All the blood I've shed
Promises given with fingers crossed

Lies spread around
Passing from friend to friend 
Yet I prayed you'd turn around
And hoped I dreamt this end

Now that door is closed and rusted
And I'm in my bed alone
I've lost the person I trusted 
And all I've ever known

Somewhere In Time

Somewhere in time
Lost long ago
He had his only true love
All his life, he wondered
What one more kiss would have been like
How it would have felt to hold her again 
Maybe how is life would have been better
Alas, the time of that love was long gone
He would never be able to love her
Or love anyone else he ever met
Because she was always in his heart
In his mind, soul, and being
She would always be his one true love
The one true love he carried into eternity
With the hope that God would bless him
And they would reunite in Heaven
Making their true love last forever

MISSING HER LIKE BREATH

She's steadily 
Keeping me busy
Even when I'm idle
She's always on my mind
Because I miss her like breath 
She's an idol
She's always racing in my mind.

My mind is flooded 
With thoughts of her
I think I'm addicted to her
A moment without her
It's the moment of hell
She's my heaven, the one I lean on.

I've been lost
In her way
Without no trace 
Just to see her face
None can take her place 
For she's irreplaceable 
She never complains but maintain 
What she does or gives, I can't explain.

Fleeting Friends

Grown apart 
we became after 
a long while,

Remember those days?

Daily talks upon hours,

endless laughter,
countless stories,
shared struggles,
emotional break-
throughs, 

as we both sit next 
to each other in
silence.

I always remember

my best buddy,
the one who saw
me when others
left without looking
twice and held my
hand with genuine 
love.

A rare gem, one of its kind

The time continues to
pass us on, 

memories sealed
in a photograph of
black and white,
your smile for-
ever imprinted
on my mind,

as the years tick
one two three,
in a blink of an eye,
you’re gone…

Premium MemberWhy Is Child Heartbroken

"The pen must go where the pen wants to go. Today it went down Heartbroken Lane." By Poet

The day came in with a great start
but is going out with a broken part.
With a child's loving and young heart,
it must take a very painful dart.
today I lost my furry best friend,
in life guess some things have to end.
Her soft cream and tan colored fur,
would make me really want to purr.
The day we got her from the pound,
was all smiles and never a frown.
My little heart filled with smiles and love,
I knew she was from heaven above.
A saved rescue pet she would be,
wearing a halo for all to see.
Mommy made car riding so real,
it was always a big fun deal.
Night time we would drift off to sleep,
morning from the bed we would leap.
For a child death is always so cold,
our good times I will forever behold.
Now Angel is gone to heaven to wait,
rainbow bridge crossing has no date.

Missing You

In gratitude for mercy, I softly tread,
For all that we cherished, the words left unsaid.
Comforted by knowing you held me so dear,
Our laughter still echoes, though you're no longer here.
As I sit in reflection, the memories flow,
The weight of your absence, a heavy undertow.
Yet in sorrow, I find strength, a promise divine,
That one day in paradise, we will pick up the memories we left behind
Where death holds no power, and love knows no end,
In that radiant place, I'll reunite with you again
Never forgotten, your essence will remain,
In the smiles and the stories, through joy and through pain.
Until that sweet moment when our paths cross once more
I'll carry your love, forever I'll adore.
My Daddy

Premium MemberThe Last Station of Waiting

Long ago, Mithila was left at this forsaken station,
As the train slipped away on the wrong track, 
cutting all horizons.
There was no return
Mithila knew it, even then.
This waiting was only a silent, endless sigh.

In the dust-covered mirror of nostalgia,
Her past flickers, bright as gleaming,
Unreal in its stillness and beauty.
The present? A colourless traveller
That tells no stories, only passes by.

So much time has passed
As if a lifetime quietly devoured all she knew.
Mithila, lost in the unknown crowd, now nameless.
The rails no longer tune
The rhythm faded with the fog.
Time moved on, but never came back in harmony.

The train still whistles
But only for its own journey,
Not for Mithila.
There is no vacant seat for her now, no backwards glance.

Mithila is now just a name,
Drifting in the air of a grey and lonesome afternoon.
No one remembers her,
Only time leaves behind a fading trace.

And the future?
It is a nameless station of Waiting
Not new, just another destination of solitude.
