Ghazal

Here for you 

My dream may lead to one false lie 

However my thought’s that its not bad to give a try 

Seeing you in agony and pain all the way through 

It hurts for me to see your face as I go by 

Sometimes I tread the path by accident 

and see you there alone, making my heart die 

It matters most to us in where you stand

Far there is where I see your presence lie

I find my eyes sting when I look at you
Just wishing for you to go by

Never being able to take a step forward
but able to look at the cold figure up above high

Irritating me all the way through the night
Thinking solemnly as the night goes dry

Knowing that sadness never lasts in one
and by knowing that this is why I try

Never ever letting you out of my sight
wishing you would open your heart and give another try

We stand there all in hand to hand 

Do not forget we stand next to you so never cry 

Sonnet

Beneath the starry night 

My thought drains in one scorching summer’s day

like drag on flies my mind lights on and off 

down on the prickling grass is where I lay 

smoke arising from chimneys make me cough 

I stare up and above the darkened sky

the stars I see are twinkling brightly yes, 

for then I rest my eyes far up and high

reflecting back to my mistake and mess  

My beating heart and mind starts slowing down

and like a dream I hear the long lost steps 

I blink my eyes to check and then I frown 

My imagination has gone too far in depth 

I place my eyes to one of twinkling stars 

and make a wish which no one knows it’s ours  

Ode/Elegy

Home (Ode) 

Sweet smell fills the air inside 

Wondering are my sleeping toys 

There barks my long missed dog 

welcoming with a warm lick on my cheek 

I stumble to my room in seconds

changing into my long missed pajamas 

and striving to the kitchen, 

smelling the boiling soup that touches my nose 

The warmth of hugs from my parents and siblings 

The cuddling love with the familiar scents

that I lock into my memory 

knowing every minute and second is precious. 

Grandfather (Elegy)

Holding away our last tears,

Grabbing onto the pain that aches through our heart 

Did anyone know time would fly so fast 

Looking at the still, pale figure that lies restlessly below 

May we lock you in our memories 

treasure you in our broken, yet recovering hearts 

Save you in our two wondering eyes

Remember you as our role model 

Although he is far up above, 

he watches us and looks down,

far beneath the floating clouds 

Treasuring each and one of us

Just like we treasure him inside us,

knowing this is not the end.
