150. TODAY IT RAINS IN MY HEART

(Specially for Gabriel - Rest in peace)

It has been years since we last met

when we were young and free

when life was simple

just you and me

Why hadn't we met at least one time

since that last day together

at the orchard cabin

on our own

Now I feel the pain of losing you my friend

the regrets of unspoken words

the time we should

have used

From now onwards, the rain will always be sad

because for me they are tears

the heaven cries

for you

They say that rain makes everything beautiful

but today the rain makes me cry

tears of sadness

of goodbye

I shall remember the sweet smile upon your lips

each time I cracked some funny jokes

about this crazy world

this crazy life

So now you rest in eternal peace my dearest friend

And though you have departed

our memories together

shall remain

And today, it rains in my heart

149. PAPA

(Appreciation to the owner/artist of this picture)

Papa

Today I was lost

in my own thoughts and

I wished that you were near

to help me sort them out

and tell me what to do

or at least give me

a word

Papa

There are things

which only a father and

his daughter can share and

talk about without having

to worry about others

knowing or judging

simply

Papa

I long for those times 

when you held my hands 

when we came to crossroads

and led me confidently and

safely to the other side

like a little child

lost

Papa

If only time was ours

to catch and to hold and 

to keep and control I wouldn't

let you go and leave me

to walk the rest of 

this journey

alone

Papa

I am okay and I wish you

are around to share my happiness

or see the children grow and

see the world the way I do

For it is because of

what you made

me do
