Please Dad....

As soft winds sweep away the days
I look back on life through a haze.
Remember playgrounds,
parks and friends,
In childlike gaze that never ends.

The laughter in a game of catch,
Shall memory ever attach...
To innocence in youthful eyes,
Catching the ball to Dad's surprise.

I recall my first bike,
first wreck,
Who picked me up, said, "What the heck?"
Convinced me to give one more try,
While, knees skinned,
I forgot to cry.

Just the joy knowing he was there,
Making him proud my only care.
There was nothing I couldn't do,
My heart held fast that to be true.

Though teenage years were kind of rough,
I sure wasn't too big or tough.
You taught me to defend what's right
And never back down from a fight.
So I learned the hard way to stand,
Still, with each lump,
I found your hand.

Drawing from you an inner strength,
And stubborn pride of equal length.
But there the line of fate was drawn,
As though I blinked and you were gone.

I found myself facing the sun,
Not man, not boy, fatherless, one.
Eyes blinded by a void inside,
I could not live that you had died.
Alas finding it to be true,
I could do nothing without you.

Please, Dad,
today just hear my call,
I'm sorry that I dropped the ball.
My life is wrecked,
my knees are skinned,
My emotions undisciplined.
I can't get up although I try,
Please don't be upset if I cry.

Though I can't fight what I can't see,
Please, Dad,
say you're still proud of me.

Farewell, My Friends

My friends to you I bid goodbye
To the friendship that brought me sky
The year has been swell
As if coming from a wishing well
But as all things do
I have to bid adieu
How it pains me to
But there's nothing I can do
Thank you for the memories
The laughter and the tears
They'll linger in my heart
As if we never part
If by chance we meet again
May it be full of blessings in the rain
Yet for now all that I can say
Is to God for you I'll pray

Friends..... Leaving you........

Leaving you will be so hard
I know that we will be scarred.
Through the years we have grown up
Now we are about to split up.

It hurts me inside
To know that you will confide
In someone else who isn't me
But they will never be
what I try to be.

I'll always be there for you
And I'll always stay true.
You are a part of me
That everyone will see.

You are my sister and friend
And we'll be that way
until the end.

Don't ever let anyone take my place
Because they will never face
All the times that we've shared
Even when we never really cared.

All our memories will be locked up tight
Even all our stupid fights.
The laughs, the tears, the cries, the fears
Have built up through the years.

I'll never let us be apart
And you will always remain in my heart.

Far Away

Far Away

I sit alone,
With only my thoughts,
And memories of times past.
I sit here sad,
Wanting to recapture,
Times we’ve had.
I sit here crying,
Longing to feel your embrace,
Your kiss.
But all of these,
I can not have,
I’m far away.
Two hearts apart,
Yet close together.
Longing for each other,
Yearning for the time,
When we won’t be..... Far away.

Dream......

I dream of you
In the stillness of the night
Your arms are the wind
Holding me tight
Whispering softly
Calling my name
It's your voice I hear,
again and again

My heart is full, yet empty too
Because the one thing
I want and can't have Is you................

You...............

This fire in my heart is all because of you

The warmth within my soul that will never make me blue

You're the sparkle in my eyes

and excitment in my voice

You're the breath that fills my lungs,

you are my one and only choice..............

My Mother & My Father........... Gone..........

Gone

I held a crystal in my hand,
So perfect and sparklingly clear...
With a sweep of a handBroken,
shattered into pieces...

I held a diamond in my hand,
A perfect cut,
So beautiful...
In an instant, snatched away...

I held a rose in my hand,
With petals so delicate
and fragrance so sweet...
Days passed, its petals turned brown
One by one,
they fell to the ground...

Life is consistently inconsistent,
Nothing definite...
With a snap of a finger,
everything stops
In a blink of an eye,
everything's gone.

To My Ma Sabarimani & to My Dad KPMNDhanaraj.............

The Greatest Pain In Life

The Greatest Pain In Life

The greatest pain in life
is not to die,
but to be ignored.
To lose the person you love so much
to another who doesn't care at all.
To have someone you care so about so much throw a party...
and not tell you about it.
When your favorite person on earth
neglects to invite you to his graduation.
To have people think that you don't care.

The greatest pain in life,
is not to die,
but to be forgotten.
To be left in the dust after another's great achievement.
To never get a call from a friend,
just saying "hi".
When you show someone your innermost thoughts
and they laugh in your face.
For friends to always be
too busy to console you
when you need someone to lift your spirits.
When it seems like the only person
who cares about you, is you.

Life is full of pain,
but does it ever get better?
Will people ever care about each other,
and make time for those who are in need?
Each of us has a part to playin
this great show we call life.
Each of us has a duty to mankind
to tell our friends we love them.
If you do not care about your friends
you will not be punished.
You will simply be ignored...
forgotten...
as you have done to others.

I Found You

I Found You

Somehow in this great big world
I found my way to you
My friend across the computer lines
my heart, my soul, that's who.

You try to make me smile
with the mail you send my way.
You never fail to drop a line
each and every day.

Whenever I have hurried home
with something, I must share,
I find it just so comforting
that you are always there.

Encouragement you give me
and a friendship that is true.
I'm glad my soul while reaching out
found someone like you...

So alone............ By Sylvia Chidi

So alone!

So alone in my bed
Alone listening to nightly whispers
Alone in my thoughts
Alone standing in court
Alone I stand and fight
Alone I pray for rainbow lights

Alone in the morning I awake
Alone I celebrate my joys
Alone I cry out my sadness
Alone I voice out my fears
Alone in strengh


Alone in wealth
Alone in good health
Alone I try to understand
Alone I seek knowledge
Alone I share what is mine
Alone I try not to be alone
Alone when my time has come, I pass away

Mother......... May I ?????

Mother may I
throw food around
because I am contrary as an infant?

Mother may I
play in the mud because
I like when you have to bathe me?

Mother may I

draw on the walls because
I like your attention?

not do my homework

My Angel............

My Angel

Your sweet as a button
and as nice as a lamb
you are gods angel to me
he sent you to save me
and free me from my pain

But something has happened
I have fallen for my angel

or is it lust

Could I have found my true love
or is it all a dream my angel
or have you fallen for me too

My Angel

can you not see my tears
or am I lost to you

Please my angel

and make you happy
like I can

Please my angel

Hello Beautiful..........

When I Wake Up In thinking one late, starry night, Drowning in thought when most are buried in dreams, A knife ran through my chest, an urge to hear your voice. And so I called you and I said, “Hello, Beautiful.”

I could tell you our life story, Our fights, our laughs, our kids, our triumphs, our failures, And how every day I woke up and I said, “Hello, Beautiful.”

It’s all on you, on you taking that first step, Making that leap of faith, From which a lifetime of joy will spring. And when we’re old and gray We can look back and remember.

Remember how I looked at you and I said “Hello, Beautiful.”
