Family Ties

Wandering in the dark


All my life
I was wandering in the dark
wondering in my loneliness
searching for that homey feelings
wishing and waiting for that voice
that familiar voice,
year after year in the dark
hoping ,
dreaming
searching
screaming in my sleep
yearning for that lovely homey feeling

years passed one after another
the waiting continued desperately
dreams of coming together again fades
life so deeply empty and moments so dull

till that homey feeling dawn
like a bright sun over my troubled mountains
and I began to wear a smile
for I have found what I have been missing
that empty space in the heart
is now filled with love

love so true it nourishes my soul
giving me the feeling that say
“I am not alone…”
the feeling of belonging
when belonging means family
when being loved means
being amongst
brothers and sisters
in the watchful smile of the father

now that I found that I have been found
I know better, now I know love



Lone Star

that is what I was
when you where not by my side
when you were not in my life
when I didn’t know how to reach you
lost in the tumbling galaxy of wild thoughts
wondering if I am loved
not knowing why it has to be me
lonely in this deep sea of life
everything so gloom
all my ways doomed
my future cursed
my presence just some deep deceptive lie
my whole life just a big joke

feeling lost
in the wilderness of life
comfort from those around me
just not filling up the spaces in my heart
my fears rising everyday
small consolation of being able to breath
and being able to say I am alive
yet slowly dying of yearning
for that special bond
that one person
whose blood made me whole


Then I found you

I found that I am loved
my soul is freed
and like a beautiful flower
it blossoms everyday

in the presence of my family
I can face all storms and win
with a a smile on my face
for I have found
a treasure far more cherished
than gold and diamond





FAMILY EYES

I see your eyes
glancing and gazing and starring
at this one,
one cut of your own make
whose blood is a part of your own
the same stream that runs in your own veins
all I feel is the warmth of the family blanket

a sweet blanket of love
in your arms
I feel once more like a toddler
as your love continues to feel deeper and deeper
and I wonder
what could I be without you
I wonder
what my name would mean without you

I sink deep into my thoughts
knowing in your presence I am for ever sane
knowing you believe in me
like I believe in you believing in me

like the empress of love
like midnight centre star
I feel surrounded by the likes of you
you enlighten my confusion
making all seem so clear
giving me hope we all so much need to stay alive

this family blanket
sewn with lives beautiful as the midsummer rain
gives me these warm and cosy feeling
a feeling that says
“I am home in your company”

Staying united

family firm like a mountain rock
stuck together with one another
through bonds glued with blood
we stand together as a mountain of love

united souls makes this house a home
love pours through genuine smiles,
sweet gestures, hugs and kisses
we stand rock solid together in our struggles

even when it seems as though the earthy cracks
are about to break us apart
the strongest force from within our hearts
and the arms of our fore fathers
pushes us back together again

once again we are family
united by threads stronger than ourselves
we can only grow bigger and stronger
together in this house of love

With My Brothers and Sisters

one more time
I have a brother and sister
with whom I share my pain
in whose mind I am a little star going some where

now even you may pick at me now and then
calling me silly names and making funny jokes
your eyes can’t lie
cuase I know how your smile fades when my tears starts to fall
I have seen how your heart breaks when mine aches

With you with whom I have been given life
I share my deepest secrets
Knowing you care,
knowing you are not about to turn your back
