In Silence

In Silence, eyes close
Tears stained my face.
Feeling empty and alone
I told you It was ok for you to go
To gain peace yet again
No more torment, pride restored
You lay there without a word
What once was strong is now fragile
The ailment has grabbed hold
Staring into the distance, eyes void
Brother, what mysteries do you behold?
Joel, wake from your rest
I touch your face, my hands tremble.
What was once handsome is now sallow 
Anguish within me is great.
Not allowing you to see my face, 
I rest my head upon your chest.
I love you I whisper
Your breathing is rough
I hear the pulsing of your heart 
I know you are with me.
In a strained voice, you said "I Love You," then no more.
My heart leaped, have my ears deceived me
Your heart beats slower
And breathing becomes pallid.
Something is wrong I called.
I stay close, while your love lay there holding you. 
Have my eyes have deceived me?
I watch your soul leave your body 
Your spirit hovered for a moment then takes flight 
In Silence, I closed my eyes.I love you I whisper Goodbye.

My Love, My Husband

In promises of winter end, 
was our beginning. 

My aching heart beats quicker at the mention of your name. 
My soul longs for your touch. 

The evening descends; on great owl wings. 
I am calmed by your aromas;
It carries me into the dawn; 
and your eyes hold me as none before. 

I am filled hoping I may be the desire of your heart. 
As my lips fall upon yours, 
may you know you are my heart desire? 

I look for the last gestures of winter end.
I remember my husband, 
our day we became as one. 

Those years have passed us by, 
I still remember that winter day;
as it was yesterday.

My feverish hand lifts to your face.
that we may kiss as one. 
We walk hand to hand as husband and wife.
As We began our life a new, 
until my last dying breathe. 
I Love You.

I Am, and Always Will Be Me

I'm like you, but I'm different
I feel I want, I seek, I love and I hurt.
And I know no matter how hard I try to be you,
how hard I try to please you.
I know at the end of the day,
I will always be me.
So this is who I am, except me or leave me.
Love me or hate me, in the end, it's up to you.

If I Thought

If I thought to start anew would make the difference, 
I would.
If I thought I would be your world,
I would go to you without reservation, 
holding you forever.
If I thought you would love only me 
then nothing else would matter.
I love you, I miss every moment that we are apart.
But know this without a hesitation 
If you loved only me, there I would be.

Silent Prayer

I am waiting in a silent prayer 
Lord, I am troubled by the heavyweight I carry
in a world that is so uncertain, full of suffering and despair 
must I go this pass alone? 

Where are you, in my hour of sadness?
I humble myself before you now.
What would you have me do?

I cherish my family so; I feel so helpless
Let me wake from this nightmare,
and let them be whole again.

No more suffering, to be of sound mind. 
I humble myself before you now.
Lord, I give them to you.

I Will Always Love You From Afar

The minutes creep into hours, 
and days into weeks, 
and weeks into months 
and months into years.
And yet, I linger from afar.

Your words are many, efforts are few.
I love you means naught without actions. 
They are mere words blowing in the breeze.
But until that time,
I will always love you from afar 
or until death do we part.

I Am

I am  Mother, Wife, Writer, and artist
I wonder still if there more to life
I hear the wind blowing outside my window
I see God's wonder all around me.
I want peace on earth
I am Aastah 
I pretend that I can fly
I feel the wind playing with my hair
I touch your hand but still 
I worry about the world around me
I cry for my children
I am Aastah
I understand everything happens for a reason
I say God in time will make a way
I dream to travel one day
I try to learn all I can
I hope for peace on earth and inside of me.
I am Aastah

God

God

I have not seen God's face; but I know he's there.
I feel and see him all around me.
In my blindness, you are my vision.
From the birds in the sky; to answer to prayers. 

I may not hear God's voice, but he talks to me through his word.

God has raised me up in my time of trouble when no one else did. 
Love me when I was unloveable. 
Thank you, God, for hearing me, when I was lost.
For giving me hope, holding me in your arms in my moment of doubt
For showing me the way; through the darkness. 

I may not always understand your ways, 
but God I put my trust in you.
Each step I take, I will give you all of me.

My Prayer

My Prayer

I have questioned myself, people and things around me,
always wanting more.
But never finding the peace I seek.
I looked deep inside of me and knew 
what I needed to do, what I need to let go.
I knew it needed to start with me.

Here my heart Lord,
show me the way,
speak to me what is true.
I feel as if I can't breathe,
that the world is weighing down heavy on me
Hold me, Lord shows me the way.
Until I can breathe again.

I am waiting in a silent prayer 
Lord, I am troubled by the heavyweight I carry
in a world that is so uncertain, full of suffering and despair.
Must I go this path alone?

Where are you, in my hour of sadness?
I humble myself before you now.
What would you have me do?

I cherish my family so; I feel so helpless
Let me wake from this nightmare,
and let them be whole again.

No more suffering, to be of sound mind. 
I humble myself before you now.
Lord, I give them to you.

Lift me up to where you are.
Here my heart Lord,
set me free of the depression that holds on to me.
Hear me, Lord. I'm not strong enough to fight.
Take away the pain
I need you, Lord, give me strength.
Hear me, Lord, show me the way

Goodbye

My pain is so real, it feels like my heart is being pulled out of my chest. 
And as each day pass, I pray for the pain to be less, to go away.
But still its very real.
The grieve is too much for me to bear.
And there days I want to go to sleep and not wake. 
Unable to face another day, to live my life as a lie in some else life.

Do you want her? or Do you want me?
But you must choose.
And so you did.
And I won't be your fall back or second choice.
If your dreams lay with her,
then that's where you're meant to be.

There days tears won't stop flowing as the pain and love collided, 
I can't deny what my heart decided.
I'm fighting a battle I know I can't win. 
I Love you, I Love you...

So I stand strong on the outside but falling apart on the inside.
Please never think it's not hard on me. 
Everyday You linker in my heart, mind, and soul, 
you are very much a part of me.

Even those life must go on, 
I know Its not right for me to stick around, be something I'm not. 
Be part of a life that I have no place. 
Apart of me will always hold onto you in my dreams. 
And I will love you forever from afar. 
I Love You... Know this I have never loved someone as much as I love you.
And never will.
