Everytime

In every breath I take
Hides an unsaid longing
A concern for your well being
& the essence of our bonding

Every meal that I make
I cook with love and care
And wish I could feed you
With laughs and smiles to share

Every time it drizzles
Or the sky covers in grey
Memories dance around me
The things we did that day

Every time I take the wheel
Your voice reels in my head
Laughing at my driving skills
Turning all pink and red

Every smile that i wear
Starts & stops with you
We should spend more time together
So you can see them too

I miss your arms around me
Like when we licked through a cone of ice
I gave up sweets altogether
Now the sweet memories will suffice.

Dedication: to my everything :*

Solitary Dreamer

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.
