Solitary Dreamer

Posted on by

I missed you at the parents’ meet
when beside me was an empty seat

Our son you have left behind
For me to love & in who to find
your smile, your eyes and your sharp mind
I pray he grows to be just as kind.

Raising a kid on my own
Is the hardest thing I have known
I cannot afford to cry and moan
Till he’s tall, strong and grown

Must find a way to rein in the tears
So stay close by to hear my fears
I’ll tell him some of daddy’s tales
And sing our song when all else fails

When you see that I’m gonna slip
Send a sign or a tip
Keep an eye as he grows
I can’t always be on my toes

We miss you a lot around the house
Be it fixing dinner or stringing the blouse
I miss the way you tuck a strand
Behind my ear with your hand

If only we could will a change
If only fate could be rearranged

We promise you will never be lost
Always staying in our thoughts.

Silenced Hearts

Posted on by
He meant to say ‘I love you’ ,
But keeps it to ‘goodnight’,
His eyes say all he needs to,
His lips sealed up tight.

 

He looks at me tear filled,
Hoping I would understand.
His choices are not easy,
He has to take this stand.

 

In his eyes I see the planet,
In his smile shines the sun.
His fingers in cafune,
Through a meadow full of fun.

 

His touch makes me tingle,
His gaze makes me hurl.
Like a little girl in slumber,
Into his arms I curl.

 

His heart lies in my chambers,
But his feet have to walk away,
He stops and smiles one last time,
As we smother the yearns today.

 

Without him by my bedside,
The sheets feel too cold.
Is this how it will be,
Even when we grow old?

 

Life has taught us this much,
Doesn’t matter if we live apart.
What matters most is truly,
The twining of our hearts.

 

We barely get a minute,
As days and weeks go by.
We cherish the words unspoken,
Somewhere eye to eye.

 

If life is ever kinder,
We hope and pray each day,
For a day when our laughter,
Forms our little lullaby.
