"chemos" poems
We gazed at the star-studded Sky
We knew it was time to say goodbye
All I could do was cry
I was gonna lo-ose my guy
Each passing day you had fought
So we could tie the knot
But we knew it was the end
Tears of blood fell from my broken heart
I could feel the pain during your chemos
More than the plight of the flightless emus
People said love was the best medication
But they never talked about expiration
One last hug . One last time . One last question :- "Why could my love not cure your cancer ? "
I knew you would soon be gone
But I'd always wait for ya right here in this lawn !

“ 74th Birthday Morning,
phone ringing for wishes… unattended
cup of tea and newspaper waiting for the sip… unattended
something not right…
blood in stool,
why?
the fear…
diagnosed stage 3,
self ….silence…
family…tears…
question from mind : Life is at its evening , is night now near?
answer from will power : Life has a new day every day and evening to disappear.
months and weeks…
chemos & radiation ,
pain , irritation
exercise & running ,
will power , motivation
cheers over jeers
close competition
then…
….the long day ….surgery
preference …on two legs not the stretcher
fun over depression,
proudly walking the red carpet of the theatre
few needles in back ,
….. six hours of unconsciousness
silence…
….dark deep silence
then the flash…
a rainbow from nowhere….
in brightness …. appears son’s face ….
congratulations you have won the battle
operation success-full
the smile of his will power replies , yes I hear ”
