Vague dreams I saw last night
Can’t recall what transpired
Searched amongst the shadows
Lost ones the heart desired
Time whisked them out of reach
Looked for them I tried

Vague

What’s happening? The noise inside me. My heart thundering—- the noise deafening.
My eyes blur. I can’t hear anymore, as my head explodes………

Noise

A peculiar thing I found this morning. After emptying the contents of Son’s laundry bag into the washer, I went to his bedroom to hang it back inside his closet. I looked at his bed, it wasn’t made. He never makes his bed, guessing his mother will see to it–unable to let her hands rest a bit. I’m irked that he has left all the good habits I instilled in him as a teenager.
Much to my horror I could see a wee lizard sharing his bed. My heart started thumping loudly in my ears. Son must have kept it warm throughout the night with his body heat, keeping it nice and cozy.
Now what to do?
I certainly didn’t want to pick it, but the thing was Son wasn’t at home, and for the next three to four hours I didn’t expect him to be back home. I couldn’t stay by the side of bed, keeping a watch on it till Son’s return. I couldn’t soil the sheet by thumping it with a slipper. There was nothing left but to be brave, and remove it by myself.
I ran to my bathroom to get a glove on my hand, praying all the while it won’t do the disappearing act on me. I grabbed a paper towel, and in one go swooped on the icky thingy, and after dropping him in the bowl, I flushed him away.
Finally my heartbeat turned normal.

Priceless are the hugs your child gives you
Priceless is the joy which spreads in your heart
Priceless are the memories that float by

Want to own your heart
It’s my territory
No one can take my place
It’s mine clearly
Belonging to me alone
None can claim it rightly

I hesitate
To soar to fly
In the vast expanse of the sky
Old fears of falling
Getting hurt
Gnaw at my heart
Pull me back
If only
I could get past them
Flung them far away
I hesitate

Promise you will love me always
I hope a promise you won’t break
Promise you will come back to me
Promise that you won’t make me wait
If the promises you make are not true
Into a thousand pieces my heart will break

Disappointment mars my face
I will it to free my aching heart
Lift the inky dark clouds away
I should have kept my expectations at bay
Icy claws of regret squeeze my heart to this day

Disappointment

Conceal when you betray someone’s trust
For the burden is yours, let it stab your own heart
Cause you can never put together again
The jagged broken pieces of the other person’s heart
For peace of mind is forever lost
(Sheen-March2016)
Conceal

My shelves are bare and empty
Cause my things are lying back home
I aim to bring them over
Whenever I can go back home
Till then I will be unbearably waiting for them
Shutting the drawstrings on my purse
Lest my erstwhile heart makes me shop
For things I have back home
(Sheen-March2016)
