15th Anniversary

I seldom write about my husband. If I do, it is a one-sided banter. This year on our 15th social wedding anniversary, I won’t proclaim that he is the love of my life or the greatest thing that happened to me or that our relationship is magical or that we have amazing chemistry. Because allContinue reading “15th Anniversary”

Godspeed

Tomorrow when we gather without youRemembering your laughter and vibranceThere will be tears you won’t ever seeWhile we look craving for your glance Of many unfulfilled dreams of friendshipAnd the young years you’ll live elsewhereFor all the amazing things you let us keepBesides wishing we had more time to care While we have many celebrationsContinue reading “Godspeed”

Rest in Heaven

Even when we’ve memories of a lifetimeThere will be moments when we miss youTo come to terms you’re gone foreverWon’t make it better for any of usBut knowing that you’re immortal Is the strength we muster to move onThat you’ll perhaps watch over us Especially when we most need Your absence is going to hurtContinue reading “Rest in Heaven”

I Am Not Afraid

There were timesWhere my tears were terrifyingThe thoughts of losing loveFelt worse than deathNot that it was exaggeratedBut heart had it reasonsFear superceded all hopeUntil I realized it’s matter of time When doors close on meI am not afraid to lookFor that window of better lifePiece of that heaven on earthEven though it is neverContinue reading “I Am Not Afraid”

Will you love me the same?

I was youngDidn’t know anything wellPretending that I was fineWhen existence was hell! Life happened And you moved awayIf I begged you to be backWould you please stay? Memories fadedBut I could never forgetWho knew it’d hurtThat I wished we never met! Those smiles are goneYet my yearning is very highI’m tired and need aContinue reading “Will you love me the same?”
