My Son

A poem I wrote about two years back. I dont remember where this absurd, weird idea came to me at that teen age, but it did. Ps: It's also published in a poetry anthology called 'Purple Hues'.

The sun melts into the sea

The beach gets void slowly.

There are your cloths lying beside me

As you surf deep in the sea.

You look wonderful waving

Balancing you way on the wave.

Your kiss still lingers on my cheek

And the hug from you that I crave

 

Your mother can’t be prouder

Of the beautiful son you’ve been all along.

You’ll be back one day, don’t worry

I’ll be here forever, my son.

 

Waves aren’t that immense or strong

To drown the spirits of an innocent soul.

Nature’s compassionate darling,

It’ll bring you back to me one fine morning.

 

Your mother will wait right here

Where she saw you slide off the surfboard

And lose your balance into the sea.

Nature’s compassionate enough darling,

It’ll bring you back to me.

 

Now close your eyes and go to sleep

You’ll wake up to be in a calm white space.

Where no evil, no wrong reaches

You’ll be safer there�" in my heart, in heaven.

 

And even now you look wonderful waving

As you walk up the heaven’s stairs bidding me adieu.

Hush hush don’t cry now, darling

Tonight, I’ll come to you.
