[my first attempt at the poetry genre :) ]
Hold me close,
Let me be near,
Before the dreadful
hour beckons,
And you disappear.
The tear that defiantly
rolls down,
Will eventually pay its
price,
Yet I shall never
reveal to you,
this forlorn disguise.
Your wings are too
precious,
Never allow them to be
bound,
Fly away, as far as you
please,
Let me bear my heart’s
deafening sound.
When you leave your
footprints on the sands of time,
I will know sheer joy,
Revelling in my own
world of merry,
As I see the worlds become
your plaything, a toy.
You try and re-live our
moments together,
Thinking they might
ease out the pain,
It’ll make letting go
harder than the impossible,
A futile exercise, from which there is nothing to gain.
Afar I may be,
Let your sight deceive
you,
I will be that
invisible presence, ingrained in your glories,
Absently present in
your view.
I may be a friend, mother or even a lover,
Anticipating the agony
I will have to laughingly endure,
But the promise of
being made a delightful part of your feats,
For my devotion to your
triumphs is undyingly pure.
How I wish for this
moment to be beautifully frozen,
An eternal photograph,
As I bid you the
inevitable goodbye,
You will never ever
know,
that my smile was
sadder than my sigh.
