She may not be here now, or you there.
She may have passed before you, so you couldn't tell her.
She may be frail and no longer know you, and the words you say seem lost.
She may be alone as you went before her, but you're always in her thoughts.
But know in your heart how she loved you so much and brought you into this world.
For nine months she carried what you have now become you are her best work.
Then she wrapped you, named you and held you, so close in her loving arms.
So today tell her you love her wherever you both may be.
It's sometimes easy to forget, she's the reason that you are here!

he tastes of
fresh coffee and old memories
mixed together with
swallowed sentiments
that neither of us
is brave enough
to say.

Let me show you
All the words I cannot find.
Let me write them
On your neck in faded lipstick stains.
Close your eyes.
Listen to my shaking hands.
They have a code of their own,
One that only you can understand.
Listen to them rattle against your chest.
Feel the heat of my breath
Glide over your cheek.
Listen to what it’s telling you.
Feel my teeth tug at your bottom lip.
Let me get as close to you as I can
Without losing myself completely.
I can’t say this aloud.
Just listen to my body,
Decipher the language it speaks, wordlessly.
Somewhere in this mess,
The purest love I could ever muster.
A diamond
In all of our rough.
It's getting more difficult being without him.
Should you add
another cloud
to rain above my head,
I'll bring the light
to make it shine
and create a rainbow,
instead.

And should the day
turn into night
before we've had our time,
I'll sing for the stars
and the moon above
to see the black sky
shine.

Left energy in your love
Feeding though the strong survives
In a land of wealthy men
Protectors of wild animals
If you're willing to bring a change
Lock up the monsters, up tight
The right hands too, right?

Volcanic eruptions aren't expected?
Just wait until the day comes
Make another wish, religious now?
Sick of the lies, sick of the beliefs?
Who called you to drink the wine?
You did things on your own, selfish
Crimes crying around the streets
What made you think it isn't good?
Faith, friendship, and some beliefs
Keep friendship and peace

We live in the moment of now,
heads turn, keyboards click, we watch.
In this wretched time of trends,
things only seem to last a day,
if lucky a week.
We live in constant searching,
yearning for the next popular trend.
Unaware that events are taking place in our peripherals,
tunnel vision has us looking through a tube.
Social media has turned us into cowards,
mindless fools trying to keep up.
But when we're bored, which is a lot,
we crave for something new to laugh at or love.
For only 2 days.
Commitment is a distant word these days,
with only attention spans of just a week.
It's a very scary thing these trends,
with them our futures bleak.

One grave to be opened up.
Two urns to be placed inside.
Three remnants of loved ones to forever rest.

One headstone to be adorned with three inscriptions,
Engraved words on stone as cold as the chills of death;
Names that can't be whispered without feeling the heart ache
With the hollow pit of loss, a black hole of despair.

Two family members following Death in quick succession,
As if they had already decided not to separate from each other.
Yet the comfort those thoughts bring to the living
Fall short, blocked out by the deeply-felt loss.

Three loved ones now eternally together;
Two vulnerable daughters and their ever-loving mother.
