your love

you loved me

but

not the way

I envisioned

beautiful no more

all my life

I tried

to be beautiful

and then

age grounded me

sixteen in her mind

she was sixteen

bubbling with youth

and beauty

until

she looked into the mirror

and

realised

it was all in her mind

and

youth had left her

years ago

time

it just slips away

the time

we have

on our hands

so

lets promise

ourselves today

to

make each moment

worthwhile

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.

heartbeat

she can hear his heartbeat

as she lies down

next to him

on the marital bed

a heartbeat

that doesn’t

solely beat

for her

life after life

fallen leaves

strewn on the shadows

memories of times well lived

venturing into

a new time zone

of life after life
