To my wonderful daughter, Natasya – a poem

There was a time on your wedding day today

My thoughts had wander far into the years back

When I brought my baby girl home, hold her tight as hugging my soul

 

It seems like only yesterday

I used to smile watching you play with your cute dolls

and delightfully showed your funny doodles to my friends

 

Through teenage years, you set your steps

And my little girl became my best friend

We’d browse the stores, try on beautiful dresses, for hours

I’ve been so happy as you always made your decision after asking for my opinion

 

How fast the years have flown…

Today I’ve witnessed your marriage ceremony

In your lilywhite bridal gown, you had become a gracefully gorgeous young lady

As you were walking down the aisle, my heart was so full of pride

 

You will always mean the world to me

All the memories made of pure gold

My love for you flows in rhythm of my breath

I wish God blessings to come your way, always and forever

Mama – a poem

There were times that I tell you,

     You’re so tough and stoic

     To bear the pain inside

     To accommodate our sighing

     To comfort us with your smile and love

 

There were times that I cry for you,

     As I saw cloudiness in your eyes

     It’s probably because of your anxiety about us

     Or about the feeling of unfulfilled desires to cheer us

     I can feel your strong wishes to drive out all of our restlessness

 

There were countless times that I am so proud of you

    For knowing that I have an extraordinary, yet earthy, woman in my life

    Feeling grateful for I’m the part of your very life

    And being boundlessly blissful as God gave me

    aplenty beautiful moments to share with you until your leaving

 

Now, never a day I do not whispering to call you

    I cry no more, as I believe you are the part of eternal happiness

    This sorrow stays, shall not fade, always there in between of my joyfulness

    The belief that you are here forever in my heart, is the only consolation for me

    I love you, Mama, indefinitely….

Rain – a children poem

Leave a comment

Rain 1

It’s been raining since yesterday

Grey celestial and somber atmosphere

Paths was soggy, the windowpane was frosted

My body felt the wind chill blowing

 

Somehow the sun was reluctant to shine

Letting the cloudiness wreathes the nature

Starlings were hiding in silence

A little frog was curled up freezing in terrace corner

 

When the rain shall cease…?

And change the sky colour to azure or ochre

I would want to go out and ride my bike

Relishing the warm sunlight again

Sweetheart, I’m home …

with a whole-heart of  mine

after such a long meaningless traipse journey

brought me into a disquieting contentment

 

Don’t need to greet me for there was no waiting

As for thee, here I am everlastingly

Never elapse, never unfaithful

It`s the limpid heart of yours to guide me back to my being

 

Thousands of day walking by your side with my dizzy heart

now, just let me turn back and lean my tired heart on you

living the life where I belong to

and learn to comprehend what the meaning of troth is

To my beloved girls – a poem

My beloved girls, flowers of my soul

Bethinking the initial of your presence in my life

It’s such a thrilling hope

Could I string the blessings up into a perfection?

 

My beloved girls, serenade of my heart

Accompanying your little steps along the life path

It’s such a blissful disquiet

Could I aim your inner eyes straight to the truthfulness?

 

My beloved girls, picture of my love

Relishing your cheerful juvenile moment

It’s such the luminous colours that clearing out all the blue

Would I enjoy your hearty laughters along my time? 

 

My beloved girls, strand of my breath

Perceiving your anxiety and restlessness

It’s like overhearing the melancholic rhythm

Would I able to switch it into a song of loving kindness?

 

My beloved girls, sequence of my hopes and desires

Fingering the tones of your dream and passion hums

It’s such an excitement bounced my heart up

I want to feel the most beautiful moment at the knot of my hopes afterwards

The Fidgetiness – a poem

Leave a comment

parbeig1

Gloomy sky…

Foliage is in a tizzy …

A meaningless serenade …

How far are thee?

A somber day…

The winds scurry…

Petite bluebird’s whispering atonal warble…

Do I flit through your mind for just a while?

Drizzle’s falling silently…

O, I like this wet earth aroma avidly…

Firmament’s in gray, still, with no saffron even slightly…

What color is your day anyway?

At the terminus, downpour’s ending this tiring episode…

Dandelions are drooping in fatigue…

Cold nights brought in a rigmarole…

I am restive …
