Strong Hopes

There you are, across the seas
Tides so high, waves so soft
The mountains so tall, my sight so faint
Hopes so strong, strength so weak

My sight par the horizon,
In faint hopes to meet
Like the river, yearning to touch,
the soft sand on the shore

Nostalgic times become my life
Memories plenty, life so little
Survival is all I have,
Until the day we meet again

The nourishment, the love
None of that is here, my love
The passion for you, the yearning I have
For that one feel, one touch of you

Your aroma so divine, your words of music
The touch of you, the warmth you share
You taught me to love,
you built the passion in me... For you

Years passed by, time stood still
Your beauty vivid in me,
My love for you is all I have
One sight of you, is all I ask

Miles away, in a world so alien
I seek, I strive, I look to a day to unite
not because you gave me all I have
because you showed me what I have

Words don't do justice
To explain the melancholy in me
For happiness is with you,
Until the day I meet you again,

Each day passes in the hope to meet
My good old love, my beloved country

Beliefs Surreal

Parallel worlds that never meet
Conflicted I am, what is real, what is not
To where we belong, where I am
The worlds so different

One's void fulfilled by the other
One's abundance, making up for the lost
Always a battle of what is,
what isn't 

Is it what I don't see, the known
Or what I know, that still remains a stranger

Is it the faith, or the fact
Where a million words cannot replace,
A single sparkle of imagination
With a tint of love

A million rays of shine
It is, yet just a reflection of particles
A manifestation of the hues that form

And yet the eye glitters
With wonder, a sense of amazement

For it is not just a particle, but a creation
A wonder known and yet mysterious
Perhaps derived and yet created

From the known through the ignorant
Or vice versa

Unreal is it, real it is
Perhaps surreal
The creation, the manifestation.

I am, Because of You

I don't remember the first time you held me

I can't recall the feeling when we met

When you first saw my Tears, Rejoiced my smile

I don't have a story of us,

And yet that doesn't leave a void in me

For I've known you as much as I've known myself

Ever since I've existed in this world

It is inevitable but for me to take your presence for granted

It is you I opened my eyes to,

You who I walked towards,

Raised my arms to for an embrace

I am, because of you,

It is part of your life I carry in me

Years have gone by, and yet you remain

You are there in me, In my soul

It is because of you that I exist

For I am because of you

When I close my eyes and think of how much I need you,

I always open my Eyes to see you

Am bereft of words to be able to thank you,

It's more than the gratitude

It is the faith I've had in you, in me

In my existence because of you

In the laughter we share,

In the tears we shed

In the songs we sing

The lyrics we forget

To every second that made us love each other more

To every thought of mine with you,

And yours in me

All I can think of, is how lucky I am,

To have you

To whom if I close my eyes in need of you

I am sure I'll open my eyes to see you

Like it’s always been, my dearest mom

Love you Di.
