I beseeched my inner soul and questioned my identity
Who was I in this planet without serenity?
It was beyond half gone, a breathing being somewhere,
A horizon of miles I've walked, still remembering that terror of a nightmare
Where have you gone to? Do you feel the same to desperately feel?
I have barely slept as time aged, nothing is tranquil
Come back and welcome the coziness of my warmth which encircles my cold heart,
As a moment passes I remember your caressing smile, the lane of my past had no start.
What did karma and will see that hit a cord of coincidental luck?
I find you seeping in through my emotional mess, and building a bridge of courage I failed to pluck.
My happiness lies therein, where you carried mine for years as we both strolled,
Embracing each others voice in our merely deformed pasts, kinship is starting to enfold.
So father, leave me no more, disputes are now just a thin vapour of mess.
The essence of your presence has taken me, there's nothing less to caress.
A poem to celebrate the reunion with my father after 10 years without contact. I love you dad.❤
