That message I sent
On a random cosy night
Laying in my bed
And you gave it a sight
From a single dm
To texting every day
Those Long WhatsApp VNs
Gosh we had so much to say
That was all we had
In this modern-day

Maybe I'll never forget
That wink emoji you sent
Nothing ever made me blush
And forget everything that I had to vent

Hugging you for that one last time
Pretending for a moment that you were mine
Life is quite strange these days
Technology holds the power to your smile in so many different ways

For you aren't around now yet
Each memory we shared stays
In my heart and amidst my gallery in a phase
Covering everything from where we ate to where we met

Sometimes I'll stare at the sky
Wondering what would make you smile
Asking my self just the reason why
Are you away from me, a thousand miles

Is this the fate of our lasting bond
one side breaks apart and another one responds
was it the situation or the distance at play
for us not texting each other throughout the day

Maybe expecting that notification is my definite mistake
for not everyone can live up to this false piece of cake
There's not a day where I don't think of you
not an effort gone by where I wish all this was still new

It's strange how quickly special turns to normal these days
what once meant the world to me is now just a blurry haze
Despite all this, I shall keep waiting each day
for you to be back in just the same way

Those Long WhatsApp VNs
Gosh we had so much to say
That was all we had
In this modern-day

The spring air is sweet

bare feet touch concrete

and a breeze tickles

spring-loaded curls.



The newly painted porch swing 

is urged faster as I urge

another story,
anything you can bring

to memory.



We watch the sun
set fire to the sky

violent reds and deep purples

warn of the imminent twilight.



We rock gently

and Mother moon makes her way

into star dotted sea,

suspended above us

breeze turns to chill

settled in my bones.



I retreat to your arms 

my lips tremble confessions

but you sooth my tears with your own.

“All is forgiven, we’ll start again.”



Now I chip peeling pain
and watch angry storm clouds sail

like ships on the black sea

to smother Mother moon

those words ring clear as I tend wounds

inflicted by you.


As I try to forgive,

I wonder if you’ll remember

so you can forget.

"You touched my heart
And disappeared "
Well at least that's what
I hoped had happened.
        But no.

Here's how it went down.
You caught my eye yes!
But no you weren't eye candy.
You were something out of a mouth of a clown.

Sounds disgusting isn't it?
But you were exactly that
Funny, crazy, upbeat
Was glued to you like fleas on a mutt.

You left, so what next?
Didn't even know you're here annually.
I must admit, if made me a little vexed
Felt like a shot taken on my coronary.

But you're here again
Making me believe
   'it's always been that way'
Am I really ready for the emotional pain?

Sugar rush. Cheezers deluxe.
Playing your vns still makes
     Me blush
Do I really want to go down that road?

The bliss, excitement, honesty
Well I'm not too good at poetry.
But I'll let you know
I'm ready to let the past go.

Turn over a new leaf,
All this is a little beyond belief.
I work at the same place we first met
And I've never noticed it till date.

    Cheezers deluxe!
