By the river bank, the daffodil sways
With the soft brush of astray wind travelling
But not a petal of her defrays
She remained charming and ever alluring
Then I saw you wanted the flower there lies
But I’m a stem, a nil to those eyes

At night, you glance at the sombre canopy
Your eyes wander hopefully and eagerly
Then I saw a glimmer and blithe on your face
When you found the star- the only one you chase
So, you combed the crowd of gas and dust
Yet you couldn’t see the moon to you that always watch.

In this moment,
you are beautiful to me.

In this moment,
you are the only one who exists.

In this moment,
you are the one I want to hold and kiss.

In this moment,
nothing else matters.

In this moment,
this fleeting moment,
I love you.

I love you more than anyone I have ever loved or ever will love.

In this moment,
I picture my life with you.

In this moment,
I picture vacations we would take.

In this moment,
I see us making love.

In this moment,
I see nothing else but you.

…..but that was just a moment.
Moments don't last.
….this one,
didn’t last.

He cried like rain
And screamed like thunder

And I

I was a quiet river deafened by his storms

My Dear Child
I realize you've pledged
To hate me forever
Engraved upon my heart
Our rope has been severed

But a man without his daughter
Is like a lame leg without a cane
I can feel your ill will towards me
As the cold creeps through my vanes

Perhaps your not my offspring
In this crazy world of chance
But I was still prepared
To be your one loving dad

Perhaps you'll never read this
And you may someday wonder why
Someone called the Traveler
Could never say goodbye
