the crescent moon, bent
like Arjuna's bow
draws her ink-dark arrow across all heaven

she is first to intersect venus, then mars,
then on in one omniscient arc to trace
the centre of being

across skies, across eons
across all beginnings, endings,
all that is and was

long to outlast all human experience
and all that can be foreseen

I will miss the days when
You count from one to ten
As you kiss me now and then
And repeat it again and again

You used to poke my face
And gently bite my ear
As you whisper "wake up my dear"
"Breakfast is ready, Let's eat it here"
Oh! what joy must I feel

I shall never forget
That you treat me like a princess
As you bought me this necklace

It's Priceless!

                                    I'm Speechless!

                                                   ­           But I will treasure it with greatness

But the one thing I love the most
Is when our cat Penny came to post
You gave her to me, for me to host
I shall forever cherish her, from coast to coast


(You meanie! You know that I love cats!)
(Would you take care of her for me?)
(Remember to feed her twice a day, and clean her water dish every week, She doesn't like moldy water dish)
( I Love You Penny!, please take care of daddy for me :* )

I thank you for loving me
You filled my heart with glee
Though my life was short
You were there for me,
For me to hold
Now I can surpass
This ridiculous world

I am sorry my dear
For leaving you here
But please! do not fear
For I will always be near

I WISH TO BE YOUR BRIDE
AND STAY BY YOUR SIDE
I WANT YOU TO HEAR MY "I DO"
IN MY DRESS AS BRAND AS NEW

I WISH TO BE YOUR WIFE
AND LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY MIGHT
AND AS I STRIDE BEYOND THIS TIDE
LET OUR LIGHT BE MY GUIDE
WHILE I FACE MY DEATH WITH PRIDE

As I ascend into my cloud
I shall whisper this to God
To ease your pain and suffering
And prevent you from crumbling


So this is GoodBye!

                                But don't be shy

                                                           ­   Open your hear

                                                          ­                                      And let it all fly


   Find someone who would fill that gap

                                                           ­            The gap that I failed to wrap


                                                         ­             I shall watch over you my love

                                                        I­n the heavens above

                             And prove it once and for all

That Love Exist in the Afterlife


                                                         *That is all...

This shattered house
  I've found myself surrounded by
Breaks a little more each day
   The walls I've built and plastered
Are peeling away layers of guilt
    Hanging mirrors with shadows of reflections
    Ghosts of ink spilt
This floor, these bricks, the cement out the doorstep
     Pavement falling apart from where so many shoes have walked
   Decorated with outlines of broken hearts in chalk
      If these walls could talk
They'd tell stories of rage and pain,
   Of the misery born into its foundation
           Day after day
If these cupboards could hold as many secrets as those walls have heard
    Of the lies they've tried to hide away inside, they would burst
      If you could save the tear drops that have fallen under this crumbling roof top
    Then you could drown this dilapidated house
       Bury it alive with no doubt that the years of emotion and agony it's kept hidden inside
  Will easily and willingly have peace when it dies
       The color of the paint would simply be forgotten before the end of the day
     The torn and rotten foundation would just be ripped away and replaced
  With stronger cement at its base for someone new to cling to
      And new walls and paint for another soul to suffer through
  But this shattered house still stands
      There's no plans to rebuild all these shards of my broken heart splattered on the ground
   And nothing will ever replace my soul when this house falls down

The rocks will wear away
Trees will burn to ash
Lakes will evaporate

Nothing stays

Buildings will deteriorate
Clouds will pass by
The tide will go out

Nothing stays

Fires will burn down
Leaves will fall
Snow will melt

Nothing stays

People move on
Joy will leave
You have left

Nothing stays

**Everything leaves

They tried to tear you from my brain,
But my heart wouldn't let you go,
Although I may have forgotten your name,
Butterflies in me remember you so.

Come back to us through wind and ice,
Through ever-raging sea,
Through torrents soaring through the sky
From where you’re flying free.

Come back to us from far ahead,
From where we do not know.
We never wanted you to be
A place we cannot go.

When images left in your wake
Bring smiles evermore,
The absence marked in falling tears
Heals hearts that still beat sore.
