Poetic Ramblings

All of me poetically written.

[ramblingpoetically]

This Smile

They say that you’re leaving on a jet plane In this whole knew world Tumbling on obstacles Jumping over mountains I say, don’t leave me behind Watch me by the window share with me your life

Stay with me By my side Like back when you’d kiss my tiny forehead Stay with me By my side Where you’d always say I was pretty without lying

They say that you’ll be happy They say that you might cry But I know deep inside That you’re the strongest man alive I say, you’re my brother Anything you do will be my pride

But I won’t stop you I’ll let your heart beat for her The one who makes you laugh The one you love the most This smile goes to both of you

Six years back, my brother married his wife. It was one of the moments where I realized he was finally leaving his family for a new one. I cried in the wedding as I watched her walk that aisle towards. And I cried in my house when I realized he was never going to sleep beside me again. My brother was very close to me. We aren’t a family that shows our emotion through words but through gifts and the things we do, and my brother showed all of his love the most. So it hurt when I knew that the man I saw as a superhero was leaving me.

we are enough

Take me there

I said

Take you where?

you said

To a place far from here

I answered

What do you fear?

You asked in return

Your face

your smile

your touch

you

I smiled reluctantly

Nothing, I said

You sighed heavily

Don’t lie, you said

Everything, I replied instead

Then let me help you

Time stopped

Help me how? I asked

Let me be there for you

Fight for you

Shout for you

Cry for you

So that you can be you

I blushed, And you?

You’ll be there beside me

And that’s enough

Your smile is enough

Your presence is enough

Your happiness is enough

I shook my head, No

Why? you mused

I won’t let you fight alone

I replied

So you can be you

And I can be me

And that’s enough

I found the first few lines of this poem in the drafts of my blog. In between months, I would return to it and add a few more lines and give up after adding one or two lines. I finally finished it a few days ago. I don’t recall my initial plan for this poem. I don’t think I actually wanted it to end this way. But here it is. And this is how I feel now.  I miss writing stories. I miss writing poetry. I think it was the first art form I believed I was truly good at. But it’s been 6 years since I last wrote one and I’m sure I’ve lost my touch. 

I’ll find it one day, though. I’m sure I will. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe next week. Maybe in a few hours. And maybe after I post this. But I know it’s there. Hiding in the further parts of my brain.

Reblogged my own poem I wrote on my personal blog because I just decided that I needed to separate my poetry from the mess that is my personal blog.

Gone

Open my eyes

I saw yours Staring at mine Ears, up and ready Heart, fast and steady Posture, strong and deadly Smile, wide and heavenly

Close my eyes Your presence was strong But nothing to fear You're never wrong You'll always be here

Open my eyes I was mistaken You were gone As if you were taken Away to your own marathon

Close my eyes Your presence is gone

Open my eyes You are gone
