Etched in my heart,mind and soul `til i see you again
from time to time it`s hard to refrain
a little tear when i think of you
and all the things we used to do.
Your kindness and personality does live on
even so,Shirl you have gone
you have a daughter that has everything you had
your looks and manorisms, makes me so glad.
It`s a pleasent reminder that when you were here
such a comfort,that makes me feel near
to you whenever i do feel down
it lifts up my mood my spirits and frown
R.I.P. Shirley Asprey x ( My sister )
And she cried
Tears burning down her face
With eyes blazing into me
Tearing me into halves
And I remembered—
Looking down at myself in the pool
Where she opened the window a thousand times
To wave to me, Goodnight
“I love you lul” she shouted
“I love you too” I replied
Going to sleep
I woke up and sat on my desk
She came to me again
Kissed me on the cheek
“I love you lul” she spoke
“I love you too” I replied
Going upstairs, sitting on my laptop
She came to me again and again and……again
I love you lul, I love you lul
Those words that uttered in my ear
That made up my day
Just as she came to kiss me again on the cheek
“Don’t” I said, “Your voice is fading, and you may infect me”
“But….”she replied “I’m not sick, I’m not sick”
“No you are!” “Get away from me!”
As I sent her away, with tears dripping down her face “I loved you lul”
She cried, after all she’s a nine year old kid, she must cry
I went to her bed, found her crying still
“Don’t cry 7bibi Juju” I uttered “I love you, don’t cry”
She clang to my shirt and hugged me
Tears still streaming down her face “I love you lul”
But those were tears of happiness, of delight
“I love you too” I spoke
do you think of them
when you lay down alone
do you covet the attention
I receive on my own
is it worth the cost
of losing my trust
to satisfy your jealous lust
touching the lips that belonged to me
raping our bond of intimacy
are you happier now
that it is done
keeping the secret
of what you have become
maybe I shouldn't have known
about the deception
your sex, the lies, and indiscretions
but it's better to know
those who are friends from those who are foe
memories of childhood stained with tears
recalling the pain that lasted for years
I wanted you to love me
the way I loved you
I thought we could be close
that's what I prayed for the most
but you always stole
what you knew was mine
crushing my heart
as you robbed me blind
I never thought it was a competition
even if that was your intention
I guess I believed in something
that could never be
your loyalty only a fantasy
I weep for what I believed was there
leaving me in utter despair
Watching as a loved sibling slips away,
I bring up happy memories we own.
I wonder why I am the one to stay.
Resentful of the passing of each day,
at times connected only by the phone,
watching as a loved sibling slips away.
I notice his black hair has turned to gray,
as he says he is chilled unto the bone.
I wonder why I am the one to stay.
To save him there’s no price I wouldn’t pay.
His going leaves me that more all alone,
watching as a loved sibling slips away.
In trying my deep grief not to display
I keep my features immobile as stone.
I wonder why I am the one to stay.
Falling at last upon my knees to pray
I ask He hear me from His mighty throne.
Watching as a loved sibling slips away,
I wonder why I am the one to stay.
What's happened to my sister?
She seems to be quite mad
Once she was so happy
Now she is so sad.
Suddenly she announced
"I want to be a millionaire,
But to make happen
I must become a practitioner.”
Of some such thing as NLP
Or other mind changing stuff.
But can’t she see it hasn’t worked
And we’ve all had enough.
What’s happened to my sister?
She didn’t use to be this way.
Maybe aliens arrived from Space
And took her off one day.
The person that they left behind
Is someone else entirely,
Not someone nice like Cheryl Cole
or even tiny Kylie.
What’s happened to my sister?
She didn’t used to drink
But now I know she’s had too much
From the glasses in the sink.
All she talks to me about is
Money cars and shoes,
But it all bores me senseless
And I’d rather watch the news.
What’s happened to my sister?
I think she is quite lonely.
I hope one day she’ll realise
That all her friends are phoney.
And whilst she lives her other life,
Her family will wait.
But if she doesn’t hurry up
It could be far too late.
I know I haven’t talked to you much.
We both are busy the only time we have is lunch.
I plead to spend time just you and me.
Hanging with you makes me feel free.
Even though we’ve had our fights in the end we see the light.
You have been such a successful woman; I can’t believe you are human.
Remember those days me and Erin acted so cool?
Well to be honest we were just following you.
You made my nightmares go away.
Then I’d wake up at 5am feeling dreadful, but glad to see you every day.
You’ve been there for me through thick and thin; like a roller coaster we are in.
Then you graduated high school glowing you were beautiful too.
I actually shed a tear or two.
You have given me advice, and I have taken it more than twice.
Now you leave just Erin and me, but we think about you every day of the week.
You have artistic ability and creativity, while Erin and I have activity.
You never stopped believing in us once.
You always had confidence and trust.
We are all sisters 1, 2, 3… you, Erin, and me.
Look out world because here we come stylish and having fun.
Tears of pain, tears of joy
We are the Brunkala sisters no one can destroy!
No matter what you are going through
No matter how high the mountain
Or small the hill
I will be right by your side
Leave you…I will never will
I wish I could be there with you
But in my thoughts, I am next to your side
Although miles separate us
In my mind I can see your smiling face
This battle you are fighting
I am beside you every step of the way
I am praying for God
Just to take it all away
If you feel me holding your hand
That is because I am
If you feel me holding you
My arms are wrapped around you as tight as I can
Strangers
Do you think of me from time to time?
Do I ever cross your mind?
I try so hard not to think of you,
I didn’t think I would, but I do.
I don’t know what you want from us.
It hard for me to cope with all this fuss.
How can we go from family to nothing?
When there’s so many good time s worth remembering.
Tell me what can be done
To lift this weight that feels like a ton.
I want a relationship with you.
Shouldn’t just that make you want one too?
I’ve tried my best to make things right,
Now it’s up to you to end this fight.
Strangers can become family once more
But you need to be the one to open that door.
She listened to me; sometimes I had to talk all night.
She was my ears when I read late with a forbidden light
And my father’s snores were the signal that all was well,
That we needn’t fear the sudden steps that were his frightening tell.
She watched for me when I ran in the night to break free of the strain;
She waited for me to return back home; she would open the window pane.
She watched and waited and listened and prayed and hoped and gave.
She was my ears, my eyes, my help, my friend, she was so brave.
In later years she became my memory for all of those I lost.
In later years she drifted away and I have always rued the cost.
She was my sister, my person, my touchstone, my courage, my hope.
Her name is Diane.
I pray we meet again.
You offended my shape
I don’t know if you meant it
After a couple of days
You smiled to me
I looked away
Your smile was so true, was so full of truth
But still
I looked away
Today…
You fought with me about something
Concerning decorations
And offended my traits and habits
Then you, yourself developed a nasty habit
The habit of looking at people
But being blind to look at yourself
I advised you
Apply your advice to yourself, before saying it to me
Then again, you whispered to your other sister
And by that you’re disobeying prophet Mohammad
You ignored me carelessly and taught your sister
A bad habit
Again and again
How pathetic are you I thought…
Then now, you come to me
And give me a candy, I took it
You spoke: I love you
I ignored you and wished if you said:-
You’d never do it again
My sis is great
And is never late
My Sis makes me happy
And brings me up when i'm down
My sis is far away
But I hold her in my heart everyday
We laugh, cry and help one another
And don't want to be a bother
My sis is my best friend
Always and forever until the end
I know it’s never enough to say I’m sorry
I never meant to make you cry
Or make you say those things that tore Me up inside.
Sometimes I let my anger get the best of me and a monster is released, So please
Don’t take it personally.
I feel bad for every time I was rude to you
And I know a poem can’t make up for anything
But I’m hoping that maybe you’ll forgive me
When I was growing up, TV was all the rage
You'd read the weekly guide from page to page.
One of the shows that was never to be missed
"The Honeymooners", where Alice always ended up being kissed.
"Bang, Zoom, to the Moon Alice", Ralph would say
Then realizing what a jerk he was, he would always have to pay.
I remembered that line because I had a sibling - female
One girl amongst five boys made her all too often wail.
Being closest to me in terms of age
She always wanted to tag along, which put me in a rage.
My mother used to say to me more times than less
"You have to treat your sister like a little Princess".
Remembering all the times she made me mad
I got an inspiration that I thought wasn't bad.
One day my sister, whom I love so dear
Went crying to my mother...with "Crocodile tears".
So I was prepared for that eventful tryst
Like Ralph...shaking my hand and raising my fist.
And when my mom would her favorite line festoon,
I answered back...
"One day Mom, that little Princess is gonna be the Queen of the Moon!"
The waves crash down and reality kicks in.
Thanks Ali for getting my hopes higher than the sky and further than the stars.
You were the only person I loved more than Jasmine but I guess I was wrong about you.
You used me like a piece of paper but now after so many months of helping you, you're just
gunning me down.
The same thing happened with my little sis!
There ain't no turning back now but just remember: An artist doesn't have to show their
true emotions but they do what they habitually, not like me.
An unfair fight
How could you do this?
How could live each day with no regret?
How could you smile?
How could you continue the day?
How could you tear my reason for living?
How could you never hear me cry?
I will never forgive you, I will never smile
Any day that I complete is harsh but nothing is fair
How could you shout, how could you scream, how could you hit ?
What are you now? What have you become?
Like I never saw you before, like something got into you
Like something unknown changed you, like something made me hate you
How could you have a heart? And U broke mine??
How could you sleep and dream at night?
Why are you like this? You never were like that before.
How could you change when the clock ticked 4?
After you left I remained in tears, tears of sorrow & betrays
Tears of how could you and why would you and what are you?
You never were the way you were before
You made me cry, you caused my sister to smile
What justice do u follow?
