Some of my Favourite Poems, II.

This is for poem lovers. They are always simple and they carry so much meaning...deeper than long words because they allow our thoughts and minds to wander as we try to paint a perfect picture of what the message carries... I love my poems to be simple so they can be relatable without big grammar.

I shared a few on Hive too and I can't leave my friends here hanging without having a taste of them too.

Some of my Favourite Poems.

It Doesn't Get Easier.

Another day without your touch, help or your hold
Without you, mama, every night suddenly becomes cold
It's 13 years since you have been gone but I'm still left in the fold
You are the treasure every heart needs to seek, you are my gold
Time heals all wounds I've been told but this hits differently
It gets better with time, every time I have been told
But this hasn't been easier because everything reminds me of you
Going home the last time I travelled, I saw where you laid
Entered your old room with your signature all over the place
I saw your old frame picture too and I wish I could use my hand to trace
There is no day that your presence isn't missed, I mean it, every single day
But there you are, on the ground where you lay
Just as the last full month you spent 13 years ago was in May
You did the best you could...did the best you could
You saw it coming a long time before and it made sense now
It made sense why you decided to join the choir in your old age
Sang your heart out till your final days to let yourself out of the cage
It was like you knew, so you wanted to turn the new page
You got late to practice one day and you were reprimanded, I was in a rage
You told me it's the rule of the choir and you choose to abide even without wage
Everything about you screams simplicity and it hasn't gotten easier with time
Keep sleeping, keep resting, even in death, your influence spreads like fragrance

Sunshine...Daughter Shine.

You are the treasure that I seek and I found you
Your tenderness and smartness outweigh the disturbance
I can sit all day just in awe of the wonders you display
I hear every single word even the actions you portray
You are worth the wait because I see the energy in you
I see the beauty, kindness and strength in you
They are all rolled into you at once and I wondered
I've stopped wondering because you are a rare gift that came to give us a lift
Compensation for all the troubles we have endured
My perfect gift and the addiction I would always fail to resist
Keep dazzling sweetheart because the world is yours for the taking
Let me craft your picture into NFT and then stake it
You are stronger than anything and I know you won't break it
Thank you for bringing sunshine into our world, sweetheart
The sun that keeps shining and won't go down
The moon that stays up all night and shows in the day
In the dead of the night, I saw a bright star that brightened a darkened world
That star I saw? That's you...

16 Years Today, I Hold The Memory...

It's been 16 years this may dad but I still remember it all
How you always guide and protect me with your hands so I won't fall
How your love guided us all so we can with others walk tall
It's been 16 years dear father and with God's Grace with didn't stall
I know you are watching from heaven and I still kick the football
I know you are watching so you didn't miss those fun parts in our lives
But you are no longer here and I would have given you lots of high fives
It has been over many years but it still feels like yesterday
It hurt then, it hurts now and even till yesterday and today
It hurts so bad I wasn't there by your side that day
I hope my scream that day could wake you up as I was being held back
I wish to have the keys to so many of life's greatest hacks
If tears could bring back a loved one, I'm sure you would have been awake
I remember how hot tears came flowing from others and my face
I wish I can gather them as they leave on everyone's faces, the trace
I missed being able to run to you as you hold me in a warm embrace
You saved my blushes many times and kept me away from the shame
Nothing compares to the genuine smiles from your scaled lips
I am grateful for the opportunity of having you as a father
Your kindness touched me and I'm encouraged to walk even farther
Your good heart changed us to become kinder
All I could say is that we are doing fine
Memories of you get better with years like a fine wine
You taught me about confidence and now with kings and princes I fine
There was no denying the fact that you gave us your best when you were here
Your work was done and now you are gone but still feels like yesterday
I picked so many lessons from you while you were alive, even when you left
So many people you held so high and dear
After your demise, they didn't even come near
Loyalty kicked to the curb and they all left us with life alone to bear
We made the most of it and now we hold no fear
As we hit the full throttle and now moving in life with utmost gear
In this time and age, anyone can be a father
But I know deep down that it takes someone special to be called daddy
Daddy, I missed having you around...

Thank you for your time.
