It's been 2 years since you passed away and the void in my heart is still empty and aching. Just wrote out few lines on you to reminisce those memories with you and help me grieve better..
An ode to My Father

You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye .
You were gone before
Only god knew why
Those long walks with you as a kid
Taking shelter in your arms when tired
Those long discussion and funny stories you used to tell
I should do best & be happy, that was what you desired

The Flame Would Someday Reach My Hand

How is it that we can walk the shores after a storm
With nothing more than our thoughts in mourn
And still find our way home?
How is it that the lies between you and me
fail to conceal
fail to reveal
a single truth?

And how is it that a kingdom can rise
With the powers, fears, and lives of a world within
And still be reduced to rubble
A kid’s forgotten lesson?
How can it be that we stare death in the face and act like we do, every day?
We do that every single day

If it’s true that the only two knowns in life are change and death
How can it be that we hold onto the past so?
If it’s true that all you need is love
Why is it laced with sadness so?
How is it that we’d sooner walk away from love
Than say we’re sorry
Or admit a wrong?
3/5 #poem
