First ResponderAs the world tends to go around
I look up at the sky, from the ground
Can't shake this feeling of how blue it can be
So, I ask myself why has God chosen me
Don't get me wrong it a beautiful thing
To be chosen by the creator like an angel with wings
Then, out of the light comes the...

6th Death Anniversary at the grave2025.4.16
Today, it is my late friend AP's 6th death anniversary.
This morning, I visited him
And brought with me not only the usual,
But three more new items
A popular book "The Art of Happiness",
A new published "The Holly book of the Foreskin"
And a frame of my embroidery work,
Consisted of a poem of farewell best wishes,
The song "La Paloma"....

Paris, the tiny starIn a world too big for one so small,
You walked with pride, stood ten feet tall.
A heart of gold in a dainty frame,
Paris, sweet pup, we still say your name.
Your paws once tapped across the floor,
A rhythm we won’t hear anymore.
But echoes linger in every room,
A light that cuts through even gloom.
Wrapped in bows or...

Even When You're Near"Even When You're Near"
I saw you yesterday.
You’re not far.
Maybe five minutes,
a handful of quiet streets.
But I miss you.
Not because you’re gone,
you’re not.
It’s just that the world feels softer
when you’re in it,
next to me,
not just in thought.
The couch feels bigger....

MelancholiaIt’s a heartbroken person
Permanently sad
The dark thoughts worsen
They’ll drive you mad
It’s a million different colors
They blend together as one
You can’t explain to the others
So you give up and run
It’s nowhere and everywhere
You can’t ever break free
The world you saw once was rare
Now you’re waiting for the right time to flee
It’s complex and never ending
Leaving...

The HeartA gaping wound pierces my heart in the shape of my be-
loved.
Someday it will scab over.
Someday,
far, far in the future,
it will turn into scar tissue.
I will rub it and it will be soft and smooth and comforting.
It will be with me,
in the shape of my love,
for as long as I live....

it has been a long time
in honor of you, i add the monterey jack
it is such a shame that you died alone with all phones completely off
the tears fall quietly as i prepare bacon cheeseburger chili
while looking at the blue lake accepting kisses from the sun,
i think about the dried blood on the...

Though we're apart
your name whispered
beneath my breath
to the moon above
i hear your voice
i feel your heartbeat
as if it's next to mine
you're on my mind
always every moment

You Laughed Your Head BackIn memory that wouldn’t get upgrades
You stay, and you’ll remain there till I go
One day wasn’t circled on your calendar of dates
Now empty is the room we used to know
The August Macke painting on the wall
Your table, stuffed with papers, vapes, remotes
And signs you left of missed video calls
Remain in memory, that in its turn,...

Letters to IsabelMy dear Isabel,
The days have become shorter, the chill bites the air and as I'm walking back through the apple trees, I think of that time the curve of your hip leaned against the cinnamon bark and with your book held so close, I felt a pang of envy.

Dearest Isabel,
In a few days I leave...

Ode to Dad
I wish your heart had not been broken, your spirit crushed, so much unspoken.
One day, I’ll walk again by your side.
We’ll amble through the countryside.
To watch the fish jump in the stream.
To hear the wind whisper through the trees.
As the cuckoo announces the start of spring.
I know that sound will make your heart sing.
And...

The Fractured Clock
The clock face glares, a mocking, sterile white,
Each tick seemed like a hammer striking a blow upon my soul.
If I could rewind, erase the darkened night,
And make our fractured story whole,
I'd turn back time, erasing all the bitter stings,
The careless words, the thoughtless, and the cruel neglect.
I'd learn to value the happiness that you bring...

Flourish and ForshakenStanding on a bridge, gazing at a tree,
Admiring its beauty, a soft smile forming on my lips.
The red flowers bloom like delicate whispers,
The only attire the tree wears, as its leaves have long since faded.
But as time flows, the flowers, too, will bid farewell,
Leaving the tree bare, unseen, forgotten.
No one will stop to admire it...

A Grandmother's EidThe sun rose gently, soft and warm,
But the house feels quiet, missing her charm.
Eid mornings filled with light and grace,
Now hold echoes of her smiling face.
She'd sit by the door, hands soft and old,
A shawl wrapped tight against the cold.
Her eyes would shine with joy anew,
As we lined up, eager for what we knew.
A crisp...
