Always With Me

Day by Day 

I've heard people say

that I'm a blessed child.

Blessed - with a mouth 

that never stops yapping.

be it tuesday 

or saturday

whatever be the time

be there a reason 

or no reason at all

that is a habit of mine

But that day was different

I didn't say a word

and not a thing 

was there to be heard

That rainy night

That ceaseless fight

i had in my mind

had left me dewy-eyed

But the thing i couldn't find

was my way out of the hell

i wanted to squeal

but had no one to tell

of what i thought

or how i felt

Clouds of animosity

with all their might

added my own tears to the rain

i tried to make things right

needless to say, all in vain

THE SILENCE REMAINED UNBROKEN

THE WORDS REMAINED UNSPOKEN

Maybe that's how you feel

when all your hope sinks

and every little thingamajig

was pretending to be a jinx

Soon my wits began to sway

as i saw my dream dwindle away

I wish i could erase this day

out of my life, if there's a way

I didn't have a clue

so i started to rue

but out of the blue

showed up someone

to my rescue

And it was my mother

and though

She didn't say a thing

and i didn't say a thing

in a jiffy she ended

my incessant insane race

And i became resilient 

with her solicitous embrace

everything else failed

and then i could see 

albeit the silence prevailed...

she was always with me
