lost love

the moon rose

into the dark sky

lighting

it

up

all slept

but

my heart

bled

and

my eyes

shed tears

for you

my

lost love

guardian angel

are you watching me

from up above

seeing whether I am fine

making my wishes come true

you are my guardian angel

yes dad

I can feel

your presence around me

years after

you left me forever

the child

I saw

childhood

begging on the streets

running nose

torn clothes

those tender feet

blistered

disheveled hair

I looked

for a sign

of hope

and there it was

in his eyes

the child in him

was speaking to me

unspoken words …

ah! that love

of silent unspoken words

that speaks volumes

a breath

what matters the most

…in the beginning

and in the end…

a breath

unapologetically me…

born

the third daughter

in a house 

of meagre means

but

was loved endlessly

doted upon

and finally grew up

unapologetically

into me

 

daddy’s little girl…

Hold my hand
Lest I fall
Walk with me
Lest I stall

Care for me
Lest I rot
Lead the way
Forget me not

Hold me close
Lest I cry
Wipe my tears
Wipe them dry

This all I had wished for
But you went away
I miss you daddy
Wish you had stayed.

never turned back….

I let you go

thinking

you would pursue me

madly

pining for my love

but

you never

turned back

shadow

Vying

for your attention

for you to include me

in your moments

of joy, sorrow

and inane emotions

but

you seem to forget

you have a shadow

loveless

am I the same

person

who loved you madly

needed you desperately

and then

suddenly

I just stopped loving you

making me

an alien 

to my earlier thoughts
