family love

family love

a little is also a lot… but

i pine for more

anxiety

me…reasonably good looking

intact body parts

food…always on the table

two beautiful children

a reasonable life partner

decent moolah

a good job

a few loving people around me

not homeless…

and still…

the demon called ANXIETY

raises its head

catching me unawares

bygone days… haiku

family home

resounding all around

chatter of childhood

family secrets

in the attic

my grandfather’s diary

holding family secrets

family movie

late in the night

watching a family movie

I miss you dad

tough times

I see you

in these tough times

and that is enough

bygone days

your tiny feet…I can  still hear them

running on the cold stone floors

of our old home

and those eyes …looking up to me

from every direction

but

now

I dont know when you come and go out of the house

I pine to spend time with you my baby

but i guess

you are a man now

so fly

make your own world

and leave me with the memories

of the glorius bygone days

 

 

our children

growing up

they

never leave our side

and

we have no time

for ourselves

until

one day

they go away

to make their own lives

and we

have all the unwanted time

in the world

sisters

born

of the same mother

led a life

full of pranks and laughter 

but

grew into two women

who like other women

do sometimes

want to put each other

down 

nice thought…

have a  nice thought

nurture it  and tend to it

it sure shall bear fruit
