Ghazal: By My Side.

Next to me, you were, always by my side.
I need you here, standing here, by my side.
 
Since you were gone, everything fell apart.
You need to stay, fix me up, by my side.

Everything changed, as soon as you left.
Come, and change everything back, and stay by my side.

You take your hands off, everything falls apart.
The one who sustains us all, stay by my side.

The atmosphere changes, when you come in.
You make everything brighter, when you're by my side.

You walk away, and everyone follows.
You are the leader of us all, always by my side.

You're in all my memories and snapshots.
You are in all of my best moments, by my side.

You are the solution to all our problems.
Nothing drastic happened, after you were by my side

You are the cure to all our aches.
Nothing ached or hurt, when you were by my side

You are the encyclopedia to all of the unknown.
Everything had an answer, when you were by my side.

Sonnet: Don't Ever Let Go.

Like entrance and exit, they come and go.
Glowing like the sun, you are by my side,
Your warmth wraps me up from the head to toe.
You take your love and send it all worldwide.

There is no one that is half-similar.
You are the unfound cure to my cancer,
If I had asthma, you'd be inhaler.
To a question, you are the one answer.

Hold my hand forever, never let go.
One after the other, the solution.
Letting go is like losing a big toe.
In my heart, you cleaned all the pollution.

If you let go, it's losing all my things.
Stay by my side, you are my everything.

Elegy: My goodbyes.

My friend, it's time to say goodbye.

You'll always be a part of our lives.

It makes me sad to say our 'byes.'

Thank you for the amazing times.

You always stood by everyone.

And you always made my day.

Your heart was a big, bright sun,

brightening everyone's path, by what you say.

You saved my life,

and the lives of others.

You will never ever fade away.

You are like all the mothers,

Even though you are gone, and you can not say

We know you will love us from far away.

Although we lost the great big sun,

The time will go, but there will still be tears,

From your presence, we will never run.

You will be remembered, for years and years.

You are the heart within,

Capturing everyone else's.

Because of you, we have learned our sin,

Now, I would like to say,

you changed us all.

Ode: Ode to Houston, Texas

Houston, Texas, You're amazing.
Completely making me fall in love.
The nature, background, people too.
Everything is simply perfect.
Amazing.
Perfect.
Beautiful.

You made me fall in love,
fall face down on the ground.
We laughed,
We cried,
We jumped up and down,
We rested on each other.
Completely
wrapped me up
inside
and out.

A city is more than a city.
It teaches,
cares for,
and loves you.
Friends and family,
all around.
in one city,
Houston, Texas

Lost, Then Found

My friend did not come back tonight.
And didn't pick up my phone call.
I got a phone call from the police later on,
telling me that he was found.

In a heartbeat, I knew what I was in for.
A nightmare, a disaster, a loss.
I cried myself to sleep for nights,
Not believing in what I heard.

Friends forever, we have told each other.
A phrase I will treasure in my life. Forever.
A loss, hope, a learning process.
Letting us be together, forever.

Lost then found, you and our thoughts.
Stay together, forever, and ever.
You helped us through the harsh,
and so we will remember you, forever.
