Forgiveness

You are my life on my script life

every step and breath I take

reflect your motherly manner

tenderly touching me.

Even if I tried to break through

away from you,

I couldn’t resist your velvet lips

kissing me good night,

the smell of your hair

touching my soul,

your  soft voice

calling me back home

 when I was late…

I secretly adored your inner strength,

your  patience,

your daily hard work

but I dared not admit

my love to you  openly.

I kept your image in my heart

I kept your words as jewelry in my bag

I kept the echo of your laughter

a mystical whisper in my dreams.

I am saying now :

I loved you mum

but I couldn’t say that then.

You always knew it

but you never asked for it.

You were walking alone

carrying the solitude of love

deep in your breasts

all the way long till eternity

as waves carrying the sand

towards the ocean.

Still, I loved you.
