Vigil

Vigil


The woman climbs into bed with her sleeping husband,
as she’s done thousands of times, though never in a bed
seven stories above streets dusted with ice crystals and cinders.
Sounds of the unit at night: beeps, the rustle of sheets,
a fan dispersing heat evenly in the room.
We can’t know what dreams infuse the woman’s sleep.
When dawn comes, she may give no thought to the empty house,
miles from here, where they raised their children,
watched them fly away to Manhattan and LA.
The house will be there when all this is done,

My"Mom" is my"Heaven" on Earth

God forbid if something terrible happens and I lose my eyesight. I would miss the smile on my mother's face shining with glow and always bright. My brothers would have tears in their eyes seeing me like this, and would never indulge in a friendly fight. My world would be in darkness though there would be light. I won't be able to take lonely walks on the streets, would require help by plight. I always wanted to marry the prettiest girl on Earth, alas won't be able to see her face. Though won't be able to see, but feel her warmth and grace. Would miss how her neck adorns when she wears a neckl

I became a Poet for your precious love

I became a poet "for your precious love", Never say" Bye bye love". "You are always on my mind", always first not " at last",God is smiling from clouds above. "You are my girl ",I love your hair with curl. You are more precious to me than a pearl. " Wake up little Susie" , let's go watch a movie. You are my world,"I will always love you". Together we will face all hardships and sail the tide through. Someone's come to meet you"Daddy's home". Let's plan a family trip and hit to Rome. Kiss me on my lips,"Let your love flow". I will do anything to make your face glow. "You are so vain"

The walk to find the true meaning of life

The world is my home and everyone living here is family. Beauty lies not in pretty face but in a beautiful soul, everyone gets confused in this anomaly. We must have faith in our abilities and allow it to get unfurled. It only takes one" Thomas Edison" to invent electric bulb and transform the world. Then began my search to find out the purpose I took birth and life's true meaning. I found the answer I have to make a life to inspire others, that will guide them and help seek the right path, don't get satisfied with a mere living. Give something worthwhile to this world which would help allev

beautiful day

Beautiful day,
hold me tight.
Show me birds
in high blue flight.
Show me bare branches
once clothed in green.
Show me fields of
waves serene.
Help me look beyond
things i can touch.
To see God's eyes,
I love so much.

Leepsa, you can reach the sky,
And shine like a star,
The path looks long, but it’s not too far.
Do believe. Your willpower is your ticket to reach your destination.
The train has already left.
Each station brings new experiences, not the crowd of hurdles.

Another Note to God

I cry and break down a lot I lie and say I'm okay when I'm really not I reminisce and look at my wrist at all the scars I've got When you took my mother at 10 months the heartache started God bless the souls of ALL the dearly departed Please tell me is my child up there?

Life after R*pe

Men make me sick I almost wish they didn't exist Who could ever predict? A tragedy such as this In my own home While alone Tears soak the same pillow where he once laid his head Everyday I am forced to sleep in the same damn bed Where I once drew blood of my attacker Why did I shower later after?

Safety

“It’s your body's’ way of protecting you.” I was told as I felt the singeing handprint of my mother burn into my thigh. It’s my body’s way of protecting me. I remind myself as I feel his hands all over me in the middle of the night when i can only think about the yellow street light that filtered in and cascaded over his large frame like water pouring unexpectedly from the sky. “It’s my body’s way of protecting me.” I explain to the one person who can touch me without making my skin crawl. “Please protect me too.”
