i thought it ended

i thought i'm through with crying. i was mistaken. i think about you everyday and i don't know why.

after you left, i still felt your presence around the house...it's as if you didn't leave at all. at the back of my mind i thought you were just in the backyard doing your usual daily routine...and that you're just somewhere in the house...that you would still look for your slippers under the bed or under the rocking chair.

but one day i felt that you had gone. the warm 'presence' was gone. is it true, as old people say, that you're just around and then when you're ready to go, that's the time you cross the border? i was skeptical before but now i think i'm believing these old wives' tales.

While you sleep

black skies cried
i basked under lonely tears
lightning tore up my world
while you sleep

i swirled and twirled
hurricanes carry me away
and put me in a void
while you sleep

roads disappeared
the air abandoned me;
i struggle to live
while you sleep

i chased the moon and stars;
but the sun freezed
when you closed your eyes
too see eternity.

the rose



The Rose

i tried to reach you
but eternity divides
only the petals lay upon
you
against the harsh cold glass

everyday i lay a rose
the ones you offered me
to caress you, to cling to you
i long to do
but eternity divides

i tried to reach you
but destiny did not understand
i search for you among the clouds
through the roses
that gaze upon heaven.

a poem to my father from my mother that i have put into words
