I visited you again today

I visited you again today
Sis was down with flu and I stayed up with her
That brought me back to the night before you were admitted to hospital, the last night I had a chance to take care of you in this life

I am still trying to get used to it, the fact that you are gone
Knowing that I can't hold you close and tell you that you're the greatest grandma in the world, that kills me
It is such an irony that memories can be so sweet and yet bring me such heartache

But by crying a little, dying a little everyday
I hold you close in memory
And it completes me
Because you know I know
That love never dies even when one departs

What Would You Like To Be

If you had a choice,
Would you wish that your life
Was a tremendous gust of wind,
Or just a gentle tender breeze?

Our lives are all interwined,
Some demand to dominate,
While others would be pliable
And giving,
There are also those
Who are confused
About their purpose in life.

Sometimes I feel likeI am a hurricane,
Bumping about fiercely
Without directions,
hurtful and destructive,
a confused soul.

Other times I feel
Like I am a zephyr,
Slight, refreshing
And in control,
Comprehensible, sensitive,
Compassionate,
Counting my blessings
And being thankful,
Certain of my purpose in life.

Wind is just moving air,
It can do good things or bad.
We can all create our own,
and within a lifetime
Our souls brush against
Each other
Without realizing,
The gentle touch
That had caressed our cheeks,
Leaving us craving
For that hint of gentleness
Once again,
That little trace
Of magical contact...

I would like to be
That gentle breeze,
Creating just a small stir
In your lives,
Leaving you with the hint
Of a smile
Whenever you think of me..

What about you?
Tell me what you would like to be..

The Crimson Sky

The sky turned crimson
In my surreal dream
All the most painful of memories came upon me
Conflicting thoughts and agony
Flashbacks of the most frightening

Too much trauma
Too much fear
For the first time my prayers were not heeded
I realized then and there
That it was a lesson well learnt

The crimson sky revealed its majesty
In the aftermath of my hangover
Signifying my awakening
Turning teetotaller

An Incoherent Expression

Your vision was a bubble
I believed in it
Caught up in the web of illusion
The vapor cleared and I awakened
Tomorrow now seems out of reach
Getting through today will be a test

Please tell me that there is no more love, no more hope, no future
Because you have to make me move on

Goodbye

You went away yesterday
To a better place
So now here I am sitting, all alone
I can see you here, there, everywhere
Footprints in my heart
Missing you with every breath that I take

Your salvation was your parting gift to me
Thank you grandma
There is so much that I want to say
So much more that I want us to do together
But because you went to a better place called eternity
I can only hold you close in my memory
So here I am saying goodbye
I cry a little
Knowing I will never see you again till the day I die
But knowing that you went to a better place
I will smile a little more everyday
Until the day I'll see you again in paradise
