Missing YouIt's a funny
strange thing
When you're not around
Like the lack
of a smile
On a circus clown
Or a ferris wheel,
With all empty seats
a candied apple, More tart than sweet
Like a merry-go-round
That looks kind of scary
Or that huge prize teddy
You're not here to carry
An amusement park, On a winters day
And as...

Missing YouMissing you is like missing a shot,
It's so very painful because everyone puts the blame of you,
It's been a little over 2 years since,
July 3, 2021,
You were able to see my mom get married again,
Though you weren't sitting in a chair down with us,
And you didn’t know how to use technology,
But I don't think you...

lost my friend to BipolarJY and I met through a mutual friend in 1991.
We strucked a deal with a handsome transaction,
In which we both were in a win-win situation.
Since then, we became close friends,
Every week, she travelled a long way to see me,
Made big efforts bringing sample of deserts.
Which she made and delivered to many shops,
Displayed closed to the...

Shall I Compare YouShall I Compare You... ?
Shall I compare you to the sun?
Shining and warm, my dearest one
Shall I compare you to the moon?
Unique and bright, my greatest boon
Shall I compare you to the light?
Illuminating what not of sight
Shall I compare you to the knight?
in honour and dignity willing to fight
Shall I compare you to the Queen?
Admiring...

Once the moon rises
I remember the look in your eye
your voice your smile your touch your kiss
I remember like it was yesterday
and suddenly how you had to go your way

A Single FlowerDeath came today...
taking my sweet Jess from me;
to an even better place, I pray,
than this life we shared so passionately.
If only I could just hold her,
keep her a moment more;
but alas, God has called for her,
now she sleeps evermore.
So many small things I should have told her,...

Long DistanceHe speaks in soft, remembered tones,
From London flats with aching bones.
An Eelam Tamil, far from home,
Yet never truly all alone.
Love is away from him,
But believes his love will get rid of his dim.
Across the world, where gum trees sway,
She wakes in Shepparton each day.
A Malaysian Tamil, steady, bright,
Chasing dawns in southern light.
Different times, separated love,
Their...

SeparatedThe empty corridor of distance
stretches long and dark between us.
Silence, like a deepening shadow,
lengthens as no words redeem us.
Time, an ancient kindly neighbor,
promises a light will come;
a dawn to break the bonds of night,
and love, your love, to take me home.

The Worst Caregiver in the WorldI watched my sister fading away.
She did as she was told
Day after miserable day.
Do this, don't do that,
It's bad for you, good for you,
Mustn't get fat.
Could Nurse Ratched not see
The harm that she caused?
The pain she inflicted
Gave me pause.
Play by the rules,
Sound advice for some fools,
But not for this one.
I make my own...

Dear OneDragging my pen along the walls of the well,
The ink of meaningful words runs dry,
Blind to who you've become, and serving only to dampen empty sockets,
The misty drops of moments lost become the meaningless tears I cry,
And the blink of the eyeless is, likewise, frivolous nictation,
For it was yesterday upon them your image permanently seared,
And...

undertowi should walk away.
i know that.
i rehearse it,
mouth the words
like a prayer i don’t believe in.
but you’re standing there,
and it’s already too late.
she trusts me.
he trusts you.
we are the knives
in their backs,
still warm with guilt.
you smile
and my ribs crack open
like old doors in a storm.
i don’t want this.
but i do.
i wish wanting you

TORN 2025I can’t change, and you can’t change. We are two separate people with two separate hearts. When did this road shred apart? I can’t force this love anymore; I am lost in deep thought. Emotional pain hurts, but when you add mental games and a teaspoon of lies, it becomes as ugly as a newborn...

LATE NIGHTSLate-night talks have always been the best. The love I have for you is priceless. I don’t want anyone but you; you have to be mine. I need those late-night conversations. I want to feel reconnected with you and ensure that this love will last forever. I need to know if this love is permanent....

I miss you.
Maybe I should tell you.
Maybe I should tear through the distance
with something as simple, as foolish,
as a “hey, you crossed my mind.”
But what if you see my name and feel tired?
What if my hello feels like a burden
you forgot to put down?
What if I am the ache you no longer want to revisit?
I...
