The Lost Path

                 This poem is indeed very close to my heart. I dedicate this poem to my father who even though has left this world, hasn't succeeded in leaving my thoughts or his place in my heart.  This poem is a reflection of what he meant, or rather, still means to me. 

If at all i ever needed your help

    I'd turn right back and find you there

But all of a sudden this smog emerged

    And now i fear i'll see you nowhere

I'm running back trying to look at you

    Only a glance would be enough

To assure me of your presence around

    But in all this mess it seems so tough

I wish the time would stop right here

    The clock would just stop ticking

I'm miserable, I'm growing restless

    I wish my heart would stop panicking

I get these weird thoughts that

   Maybe you have left me alone

Amidst a crowd full of strange faces

   Faces with hearts of stones

They wear these masks 

   And have hands full of thefts

Are you lost amongst them

   Or have you just left

Come ahead and let me

   For once see your naked face

Hold you in my deep embrace

Tell you that i love you so

  Hug u tight for one last time

And kiss you before again you go
