Fathers and Sons: Love Redux

My dad wasn’t wordy
I can’t remember affection
He never told me he loved me
If he did, I don’t remember it

Strong silent type he was
I grew up quiet
Till I started to speak more
Then everyone wished I’d shut the hell up

My mom told me my dad loved us very much
I wanted to hear it from him
On my wedding day he said it
Collectively in a toast he pronounced his love grandly

I always wanted more from him
I wanted his knowledge, his craft
He’s gone 20 years now
I’m still trying ……

The house where love died
Carried voices with no meaning inside
Only the outside air whispered life
The charming garden had faith

Empty lips of comfort
All grew soft and far and silent
Trees bent their heads
Mysteriously crying

Winds stole thoughts away
No home in the moonā€™s light
Alone and frightened
In the unfriendly night

Desperately willing
The sunny morning danced
A subtle beguiling smile
Wept tears of gold and jade

Through tides of darkness
White radiant words flew
Known hearts found peace
In the home of truth

I found a shine
in a smile,
glow on your face
even when you cry

There is no regret-
in the words you write,
or the letters youā€™ve never posted-
Like all the loves you have found-
Loves,
You have
Lost it
I have insight in the ways we have lived

Becoming open to the gentle rain-
like a meadows in spring
When all is due to be born

You are such gladness,
the shadow that will shelter behind the door,
found in a place that we would cry,
turns away
To wither and die

You are truly
a listener of your own thought,
the warrior of wounds

This joy,
will ease our fears,
with a baby
in hand

Hold
Gaze for a while

Flying above the clouds
Across the stretch of my country
From where I was evicted, catapulted
With the whirlwind of yesterday
And nursed my roots afresh!
I wondered and wished
If my soul could rain down
On the earth below, atom by atom
Acquire a body as before
And lie across, obliterating the border
Even if only for the width of my trunk
And, lie there eternally, forever,
Stone dead!

A Farewell Message | Tianyu - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

A Farewell Message | Tianyu

Always remind myself
that I can’t fall in love with you.
But I don’t know when.
I’m already in love with you so.

We are sure of each other.
If one of you and I shed tears,
That represents the reluctance between you and me too.

People who don’t understand our feelings,
They also thought
every line what I wrote was a lie I do.

Now I miss you.
Speak to you in my voice,
Each of these languages has a feeling of love for you.
