MY POEMS
Memory
Today I am here with you,
Living, laughing, talking too.
Things I did words I said,
Might still be there when I'm dead.
Keep not my pictures nor remember my words,
They'll fly away as un-caged birds.
Though please do this one thing for me,
Keep me near as a memory.
A memory of someone you once met,
You won't always remember, but you'll never forget.
Kam.
Lonely
Now I sit here in despair and alone,
In the pain of loneliness, I moan,
I have no one with me, not a soul,
The darkness of sadness swallows me whole.
No one to share my joy, my sorrow,
No one today no one tomorrow,
Amidst the dunes alone I stand,
My only companion- the sand.
I can never leave nor be free,
Isolated forever, a lonely desert tree.
Kam.
Swept on the waves of friendship,
I was carried back to land,
A land where all was happy,
And merry even the sand.
I stayed there for the days to come,
Living and laughing with joy,
Happy and gay as one could be,
Like, a small young boy.
And then I woke from this beautiful dream,
To know that all was vain,
And, like I have always been,
I was lonely again.

He sits in the forest, alone, near the fire,
To keep moving ahead - His only desire;
He thinks of his past, his travels,
And all the memories, his mind unravels,
He thinks of his wife, his child he remembers,
His heart longs for his only family members,
He thinks of them more about their sad demises,
Sadness overcomes him; a tide of emotion rises,
Can he live in the past? Remembering it all over,
And with every thought his head stoops lower,
He drifts to sleep today, only to get up tomorrow,
Carries on his journey, forgetting all his sorrows,
He tells us to go on the very same way,
But can we do so? Only WE can say!!!
Kam.
You came in my life, without even knocking,
You entered it so fast - it was shocking.
I knew you wouldn't stay, it'll never last,
So why'd I accept your love so fast?
Those three words of love you never could say,
I still sit and ponder, as here I lay.
You never could see the tears in my eyes,
Never understood my smiles were lies.
Oblivious to me, you took me for granted,
You never could give me the love that wanted.
You couldn't understand my looks - my stare,
Or was it that you didn't even care?
You said you'd be happy without me, that you were brave,
So why do you sit here alone and cry on my grave?
Why do you weep now and yell, "Why me?!?!"
If only you knew, if only you could see.
See the pain you caused; in anguish, see me cry,
Then you wouldn't have seen me go or seen me die.
Kam.
