Blueberry Cheesecake

She had a tiring day and I’m placid amidst the raging storm that recently and is still rummaging my life. We had a long walk from our work place coupled with talks which mostly is a debate whether to go or not. Finally, we decided to have a break which means CAKE or the other option of which I cannot declare on this page! (It’s not what your thinking it is!) And so, there we are but decided to order different cakes. She ordered a cheesecake something and I an ice cream cake. We talked, she shared about her international relations while I’m there in front of her listening attentively and butting in between talks. I did have a share of my piece of story which eventually made me feel good. It was a release! She did not reacted nor gave me an advice of which she apologize about her incapacity give one. But simply listening to my litanies of mixed emotions is comforting enough.

It was drizzling and the breeze is quite cold, you can see through the panes the lights from a distant street lamp while the glow from the vehicles’ headlights appear and disappear with the flow of the traffic. On the table are empty glasses of water and crumbs of cakes on the plate while on the wall the clock strikes quarter to seven. Its been almost an hour since we arrived and had a conversation but we felt it wasn’t enough so we decided to each have another slice of cake. We resolved to the all time favorite BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE! However, this did not started the conversation right away, instead we started taking pictures of the cake and of ourselves. It was fun! And so, there we were, munching the cake and savouring its saccharine flavor while our conversation jumped from Angelina Jolie to Michael Jordan to Seye to long pauses and comfortable silence. Then we decided to go home. She went home with her fantasies and me? Back to reality!

This is crazy. But having a break in between makes the situation more bearable. It’s like being in the eye of the storm, very calm. Then when it passes, strong winds tosses you again to where you don’t know.

February Rain

Gently as it falls, drizzling
On the roof came the tapping
Ti pi tip ti pi tip tap
“Whoosh!” blows the wind
Hustling its way to the treetop.

Trees sway while leaves are falling
Dances its way to the ground, spiraling
Sparks of light came burning
Like fallen embers, only glowing.

Lightning flashes like cracks in the sky
Thunder follows like drummers in line
Boomlay, boomlay boom!
My heart is pounding like a gong
Blood rushes in tune of a heaven’s song.

Tall grasses swaying as the wind blows
Droplets of water freely flows
Tap, tap, tap, splash!
Thunder crashes like a cymbal’s clash!
Lightning strikes like a midnight sash!

Storm came like the speed of sound
Leaves us suddenly in stillness and wet ground
Tiny rivers of heaven’s water running
Slipping, running and faster it is moving!
Faster, faster to the river where it is heading.

Up and up the sun is arching
Little by little the rain stops falling
Away and away, dark clouds are heading
Gentle breeze blows a feather, tossing.

Gently as it falls, drizzling
On the roof came the tapping
Ti pi tip ti pi tip tap
Until I hear the last drop
And the storm have come to stop.

Poem Unfinished

I wasn't able to finish writing this poem
but I'll publish it anyway since no words would come out of my empty head
as I try to close this...


In silence I found my strength
A music that soothes my senses
Stayed with me 'til the day ends
A symphony repeated 'til my loneliness ceases.

In my slumber I found peace
Escape to dreamland's momentary bliss
A jump for joy, a hearty hiss
'til I wake up in reality's kiss.

When I'm awake, I found no reason
My mind's unfocused, it blurs my vision
Which weakens me 'til I'm in oblivion
Uncertain still and with no solution.

In love I found meaning...
In pain there is healing...
That joy is worth fighting...
And life is worth living...


blurry thoughts, many words but I'm tired... I am sleepy.

My Father's Lullaby

Be not afraid father
I’ve seen you carry the world
Traveled the distance robust and bold
Be brave.

Be not afraid father
These pains are fleeting
As compared to life that is everlasting
Be brave.

Be not afraid father
Rest your tired body
And I will sleep with you with leaves of holly
Be brave.

Be not afraid father
I can see you’re a fighter
But for now you have to rest and lay your banner
Be brave.

Be not afraid father
I’m singing a lullaby
I will lull you to sleep ‘til you say goodbye.
Be brave.

Hush now my father. Be brave.

Ode to my Father

By this time I think you know
We have loved you of depth unknown.
With your days unheard and your time falter
Remember with our Father you are safe and sheltered.

If time won’t grant us moments we desire
We will live in the memory everybody admires
We will let our tears fall on that noble day
When you will wait for us in heaven with gay.

No words can express how much we love you
You have been our mentor, our friend our father
And I pray to God when you see the day coming
Be not afraid our dear Father is waiting.

Precious time you have shared with us
It will be cherished and surely it will last
To northern skies soon we will meet
Where summer is there and life is sweet.

Rest now my father and not be weary
I have shouldered the task and I’m willing to carry
Leave us in joy and in peace you will be
For gladly I will carry you dreams and legacy.
