#mama
I’ve been low-key simping
for this absolute baddie,
An IIT B star,
the ultimate hottie.
She had a whole line of
tech-bros in her chat,
writing proofs just to see where she’s at.
Certified genius,
elite mc energy,
warping space-time with zero apology.
When we link up,
I’m the one pulling rank,
demanding my shake like a boss at the bank.
Extra froth,
more vanilla,
chocolate syrup,
make it snappy,
I say,
while she rolls her eyes,
in that unbothered way.
She checks my ego, like,
calm down your crew,
the fan club was mid,
it wasn’t standard for you.
If she met my current girlie:
AIR 3,
from IIT D,
it’s over for me,
they’d immediately agree.
My nature papers?
Completely dismissed,
untouchable aura?
Removed from the list.
They’d be plotting together,
pulling up the receipts,
drafts of my childhood defeats.
Straight clowning my toddler pics out in the open,
leaving my masculinity completely broken.
...But the chat is dead,
the screen is just black.
There’s no star girl to reply
or text back.
The banter,
the milkshake,
the zero-pants view,
are hyper-fixated scenarios I built out of blue.
Plot twist:
she was never my toxic ex-flame,
just a brilliant topologist who gave me my name.
The matrix was glitched before I turned thirteen,
she ghosted the planet and left alone me.
No 4K streaming,
just old pics and tracks,
Of a mama who left fs,
but could never come back.
So I wave at the pixels,
cry,
but not outta sadness,
nor even fear,
she’s my ultimate maker,
I’m honoring here..

Hey baby mommy loves you to the moon already
And I haven't even met you yet
I just want you to know that I will give you the world and more
Mommy loves you to the moon baby
I will do anything for you
You won't have to ask for nothing
Mommy will always be by your side
I will always have your back
Mommy has always dreamed of you
And won't let obstacles get in her way
We might struggle but we will get back up
Mommy will always love you to the moon my sweet baby
Until the day we meet I love you to the moon my future child 💞

Ma, kamusta naka diha
Sa laing kalibutan ikaw ra baya
Hinaot nakita nimo si papa
Para kamong duha mag uban na diha.
Ma, gimingaw na me kanimo
Daw gahapon lang na storya ka namo
Karon wala na diay ka
Ikaw kalit ug nipanaw na ning kalibutana
Ma, gihigugma ka namo
Maghamdom mi permi kanimo
Ug ang imong mga pahiyom
Makahidlaw ug amo jud pangitaon
Kung asa man ka gibutang karon
Hinaot na ikaw permi magmalipayon
Ug kung makita nimo kami
Ayaw kalimot sa pag-uban kanamo perminte

Happy mothers day to me,
Hours leading up too misery.
Throat closing,
Heart's broken.
Trying to make plans,
Sitting with my head in my hands.
Thinking of what i could of had,
Seeing other mum's makes me sad.
Happy mothers day to me,
Only if i could see you again,
I would make sure the day never ends.
listening out for you to whisper mum,
Why is my body letting me feel,
This can't be real.
Happy mothers day to me,
The day to remember,
We once were together.
One cord ,
Connected a rare bond,
Cut for a chance of growth....
Mummy then needed to let go.
What you need to know is there are no tiny toes,
No finger painted card for mum.
No one to wake me screaming mum,
Just whats left in boxes around me.
Alone looking for signs,
I must be going out of my mind.
Mothers day is around the corner,
Scared,
Sick,
I don't want to fight for my life.
Laugh say we are the same,
Or share how our kids are at the same stage.
Sorry to rain on they're day,
But my baby's far away.
But i know we share the same day,
Heaven has mothers day too.

Shall we turn off here
for a visit to mama --
to give her a kiss?

‘’once my eyes
finally shut and
my chest rises
no more, i want
my mom there
i want her kind
hands to hold my
dead ones;
rubbing the nails
i had bitten just
earlier that day
i want her soft
voice to hum that
delicate lullaby;
the one lullaby
she sang me
to bed with;
about the stars
and how they
twinkled so
brightly
i want the
smell of cigarettes
and her expensive
shampoo to
surround me in
my last moments
because it’s the
only thing that
truly brings
me comfort
i want to hear
the stories she
never told me
about herself;
all the secrets left
untold
if she isn’t
there holding
my hand,
humming a
soft lullaby,
or recounting the
past . . .
you may leave
me to rest in
a coffin beneath
the snow with a
godless prayer
if she isn’t there,
if she never was,
i don’t know
what i’d do.’’

Mama,
the weather outside
speaks hunger.
The air whispers
in chipped syllables,
cradling my bloated stomach,
muffling the laughter
emerging from K street.
Pine trees, brittled
by their barren limbs,
hum to me their
creaking lullabies.
I've seen the sun,
cheeks fat with food,
spit golden scraps
I was never
entitled to.
Perhaps the air
can carry me
through the winter.
Perhaps then
I can finally
dream of feasts.

I love mama, here,
in this old photo before --
she became mama.

I never knew her like you did—
in everyday, familiar ways.
But I know her through your stories,
and the love that still remains.
She was your harbor in the storm,
your steady light, your guiding flame.
She shaped the fire that lives in you—
a heart too fierce to ever tame.
She bore her faith with gentle power—
a woman pure, steadfast, and wise.
And now, with reverence in your voice,
you call her blessed beyond all time.
She taught you love without condition,
how to stand firm, how not to bend.
She gave you strength to speak your soul
and fight with honor to the end.
You've drawn in closer to your father,
your heart more open, faith made new.
And still, I see beneath that grace—
the ache of missing what you knew.
Because a love like hers is carved in soul—
unchallenged, sacred, set apart.
She is your mother—now, forever—
forever stitched into your heart.
I often wish I’d known her more—
to share a laugh, a meal, a smile,
to sit and thank her for the love
that echoes through your every mile.
And oh, I wish she'd seen you now—
the way you father children mine.
She’d see her legacy in you,
in every choice, each steady line.
I know you walk a tender line,
between the past and what is new—
still holding space for Mama’s place
while making room for what is new.
So let this be your sacred ground—
a place to grieve without disguise.
No love like hers will be replaced;
it still lives on behind your eyes.
And on this day, I stand beside you—
to speak her name, to hold her light,
to say her love still shapes your days
and walks you safely through the night.

Sunshine and daffodils—
The heat of the sun beating down on the black hair you gave me,
The flush in my cheeks after too much time outside.
Waves rolling in the pools at Waterworld,
Happy yellow flowers brightening front lawns,
Easter decorations and chocolate eggs on store shelves,
Spring and summer warm
Colored leaves and frozen windshields—
The crisp crunch beneath my feet,
The scent of chocolate chip cookies and flour-dusted countertops.
Christmas songs drifting through grocery aisles,
Board games and hot cocoa by candlelight,
The bitter wind stealing my breath away,
Fall and winter cold
All year round, I find you in everything—
In the parts of me I love when I look in the mirror,
In every tumble that ends in laughter.
In Burger King breakfast sandwiches and Coca-Cola bottles,
In the echoes of road rage—your "creep" and "jerkwad" make me smile
The world, in its quiet ways, reminds me
Of how much I love you.

the memories when come upon
shred heart to pieces
the mole on the right side of your forehead
the creases next to your eyes
your beautiful smile lines
knowing the warmth of your hand was comfort
holding your icy cold was terrible agony
beloved was buried, unseen to others
so was a piece of my heart.

“Mama tried,” Mama lied.
Mama stole your car and sold it for a price
Married five times, Mama never could decide.
Always called me ugly, but I have Mama’s eyes.
Betrayed by fate, Mama hates that she’s alive.
Stay up late at night just to hear Mama cry.
It’s hard to feel pity when Mama casts you to the side.
There was never any love in the house where Mama resides.
But sure, Mama tried. Mama Tried.

M se premye mo ki sòt nan bouch tout bebe
M se premye mo nan alfabet, nan lang ti bebe
Se pa lèt a, ki sòti an premye nan bouch yon ti bebe
Kap di m, ma, manman, mom, mummy, mother, mama
Mère, kom nan manmi, madre, mae, ma mère, mamma
M se 13 zièm lèt nan alfabèt laten
Se la ke lang romans yo komanse
Kòm franse, panyòl, italyen, pòtugè
M se yon lèt enpòtan pour la santé, la paix
La vie, le bonheur, les fleurs et le sapin
Nou kontan pou nou fete tout manman
Mèsi a tout fanm, manman se la pè e la jwa.

They always said
How much the little girl
Was like her daddy in
The way she stood
Walked
Movements
Gestures --
Cute when she was small
But the older she gets
The more she takes on
More serious aspects of
My strengths
My weaknesses.
Proud to see her
Strong personality --
Flashbacks of my youth.
Strong-willed
Free in spirit
As a young deer
Kinking up its hind legs
In defiance of constriction.
A free spirit sees
No need for the fences
We build to contain it
To control our so-called
Base instincts.
In her my strengths are
Magnified
but oh
So are my weaknesses --
My weaknesses magnified?!
Looking at this
Living mirror of myself
Seems to
Magnify
Intensify
A normal father/daughter
Relationship.
I think I see clearly because
I think I know myself so well.
I chastise myself
I condemn my weaknesses
The mistakes I made in my youth.
I look down at me
She looks up to me.
They say she is
So much like her daddy
But she is much more.
Part mama
Part gran
Part grandma
A tapestry of traits
All formed in her
Along with what her social
Environments have
Sown in and reaped of her.
The teenager often sees the
Outward beauty of a
Model or movie star.
Someone is always
Better looking
Someone else always
Has more of something.
I try so hard to help her see
That this is so common
A feeling.
She is above all this
She is not run of the mill.
I know she knows this
Somewhere
Deep inside.
Time has proved
That I see more
Than what meets the eye--
But this knowing
Holds possible dangers.
I can see ahead to
Warn her of trouble
But there are troubles
That she must endure.
Over-protection
Every caring parent knows
This pain.
I do not want to fail her
But distance seems to grow
Between us when
I monitor her progress
When I push and ****
To make her less like daddy.
She shouldn’t be too much
Like me --
I have too many regrets.
In the night hours
I sometimes hear sounds
That I cannot distinguish.
I hear fluttering sounds
That I think are birds
Flying out of the trees
But in reality it is the wind
Blowing high
Through the pines.
I see shadows of strangers
Seeking mischief
Shining bright
Lights at the family tent
In the cold
Half-dream-state
Of the cold night--
But reality says it is
The distortion of the campfire
Through the fabric of the tent.
I cannot always distinguish
Certain sights and sounds
At certain times
But time reveals what
They truly are.
But to bite the tongue
When I wish to scold
Out of season!
To stop focusing on our
Likenesses to the point
Where I cannot differentiate
Between what she used to be
And what I used to feel
And the individual soul
That my daughter is!
They always say how
much she is like her daddy.
Maybe daddy needs to change.

Mamã foi embora
Ela já não está viva
Ela deixou a Mãe Terra
Ela está no cemitério
A mamã está mais longe
Ela está aqui e ali, realmente
A mamã se foi
E já não está aqui
Connosco, sob o sol
A mamã está no céu
Ela olha para nós e consegue ouvir
Ela está a divertir-se, em um sonho
Vendo-nos lamentar e gritar
A mamã está com a Virgem Maria
Ambos nos ouvem e riem
Tanto que choram no paraíso
Onde ninguém morre
Isto é uma gafe
Que viagem! A mamã foi embora
Mal os podemos ver nas nuvens
A mamã ainda está conosco
É invisível dentro de nós
Como desejamos que as outras mães façam
Feliz fica no cemitério
Que a terra seja leve e macia!
P.S. Este poema é dedicado a todos os que choram.

Mama ist gegangen
Sie lebt nicht mehr
Sie hat Mutter Erde verlassen
Sie ist auf dem Friedhof
Mama ist weiter weg
Sie ist hier und dort, wirklich
Mama ist weg
Und nicht mehr hier
Bei uns, unter der Sonne
Mama ist im Himmel
Sie sieht uns an und sie kann hören
Sie hat Spaß, in einem Traum
Uns jammern und schreien zu sehen
Mama ist bei der Jungfrau Maria
Beide hören uns zu und lachen
So sehr, dass sie im Paradies weinen
Wo niemand stirbt
Das ist ein Fauxpas
Was für eine Reise! Mama ist gegangen
Wir können sie kaum auf den Wolken sehen
Mama ist immer noch bei uns
Sie ist unsichtbar in uns
Wie wir es anderen Müttern wünschen
Fröhliche Aufenthalte auf dem Friedhof
Möge die Erde leicht und weich sein!
P.S. Dieses Gedicht ist allen gewidmet, die trauern.

Mamá se ha ido
Ya no está viva
Mamá dejo la tierra
En el cementerio
Mamá está más allá
Ella está, en verdad, aquí y allá
Mamá está muerta
Y ya no sale
Con nosotros, bajo el sol
Mamá está en el cielo
Ella nos mira y nos escucha
Está pasando un buen rato
Para vernos quejar y gritar
Mamá está con la Virgen María
Ambos nos escuchan y ríen
Con tanta alegría que ellas lloran
En el paraíso donde nadie muere
Mamá se fue, de viaje
Apenas puedes verlo en las nubes
Mamá se quedó con nosotros
Ella es invisible, dentro de nosotros
Y todos deseamos a otras madres
Felices estancias en el cementerio
¡Que la tierra sea ligera!
PD: Este poema está dedicado a todos aquellos que perdieron a 'Mamá'.

Imagine 💭
I had a dream where my mother mustered the courage to own her truth; unabashedly and unapologetically. In that parallel universe, she owned her own identity, and not being defined as someone's wife or daughter. She never fell for anyone where she was obliged to stay, rather she dared to leave. Pursuing her dreams and travels to places she has never been before, chasing sunsets and dreams. Like the Phoenix from the ashes, she rebuilds her life from the scratch.
In another life, I don't wish to be born so that my mother can reap the benefit to live, laugh and love.

standing next to her suitcase --
mum waits, and she cries.

Sweet spiced cookies
wafting in my nose.
It draws me to the kitchen
and on my tippy toes.
Mama's made a special treat.
She says it's still too hot to eat.
I can hardly stand the wait!
I bet they'll taste so great.
I hold mama's apron
until she gives me some.
It tastes just like mommy,
and it tastes just like home.
