Those Smiling Faces…

Published on by Harpreet ChhachhiaLeave a comment

The hits they keep on coming!

Life I suppose works this way…

But I’ve seen others happy,

Their fruits are ripe,

Their suns come to stay.

Rain seems fair for me, I guess –

It has its share of dark peace –

And, in stranger times,

Water brings so much release!

But, puddles form muck;

Falls happen; and infections;

And, most times, I resent

Most of all my reflections.

I’ve seen people hope and smile,

I know I mock them with sneers;

I wonder if my mind will choose

To accept the wishes my heart hears.

Loss and life seem intertwined;

I have made my peace with rain;

But those smiling faces and suns

Keep mocking me again and again.

I couldn’t dress you,

The way you wanted to shine.

I couldn’t touch you,

I couldn’t do your hair up fine.

We spoke of death and love,

Before you were taken away,

I really did all I could;

But oxygen blew you away.

You were my only Father!

Of all in the family, beloved you!

You’re left now, with all the rest,

My home, my childhood, my truth.

Dreams terrify me!

You enter with different names

And my mind uses them

To play terrible games.

I’m tired; because i’m hounded

By the hours of sleep I get.

(And trust my heart:

It just really wants to forget.)

Weary, worn out and wasted,

Tears have long since dried;

But the emptiness alone,

Reminds me I haven’t yet died.
