Forceful Void
This entry is dedicated to the Best Grand Mom in the Whole Wide World. My 20th Century Grand Ma, who would scold my mommie when ever I complained about “mistreatment”. She would give me money (=)) and… well… make the most delicious food ever. Yeah, I know I seem way to materialistic here… but… words cannot describe my Grand Mama. I attempted to depict my loss, in this poem that I wrote for her.
FORCEFUL VOID
In memory of
Zahra A.G. Dawood.

Isn't it funny how time can tick away?
How one second can make a difference?
Yesterday, I had a guardian angel looking over me.
I knew her whereabouts, I knew her place.
Today, I can't see my angel looking over me
I know not her whereabouts, I know not her place
Yesterday, she was right there.
Her granted presence was just a thirty minute drive away
I knew she would be there, always,
watching over my shoulder, praying for me
Even though, I saw fragility
The fragility that befriended her, forcefully.
Today, as I stand over her small feeble body,
I cannot help but wonder what if time didn't tick away?
what if that next second did not come?
She would still be there, with fragility
Watching over my shoulder, praying for me
I would still know her whereabouts, I would still know her place

Today, as I sit in front of her love,
I cannot help but wonder his thoughts
For I can see through his despair as he sees her picture,
I can see through his despair as he sees her empty chair
I can see his submission to the same fragility
The fragility that befriended her, forcefully
Today, as I walk into her room,
I cannot help but wonder her last thoughts
As I see her bed, as I see the chair
The chair that waits, desperately, for her presence to fill the void,
The void that befriended us, forcefully.
I cannot help but wonder her last thoughts
As I see her bed, as I see the chair
The chair that waits, desperately, for her presence to fill the void,
The void that befriended us, forcefully.

This is also for a special friend’s grand mother. My prayers are with you.

Beaming with excitement about my new blog, I came early, to university, to write out my post. Me; being an utter confusion bean, I got lost trying to find my way back to my blog. Anyhow…me had problems and The Hem was kind enough to help me…she left me a little note ...
'tis the Hem
Since you insisted that I not hanky panky, that indicates that you were expecting some. Ergo, I must not disappoint you... Buahahaha. Twisted logic, I have. Ooh. I wub you. :) Smile! Back to reactions hw now.
Hemlyn and Tikky (The one and onlies.)
PS: Tikky the Hamster (or Hamster the Fourth) is the Hem’s iPod.

Nousheen :)
Great post Tahseer. May her soul rest in peace, and I'm sure your guardian angel is still watching over you. Anyways, take care, and thanks for the phi notes
Very nice Tahseer, we just don't know what we have till it's gone. May She rest in peace.
BTW: On a completely different note, please do something about your spellings. Ahmed is spelt A-H-M-E-D, not Ahemd. Ahemd is also wrong if you were trying to spell the past tense of being exposed to Hemlyn (Ahemed). Sheesh, for all we know, next you'll be spelling Mr. Mechatronic's name with a 'ph.'
Nosh: Thank you. I think I was luck to have her =)
Pravin: Thanks;).Dont mention it... this is regarding the PHI notes.. now you can help me cheat in the exams =)
Mafaz: =), to you too =)
Keet: man, my spellings are my identity. Let it be =).

the poem's beautiful. May her souls Rest in peace.
after all those comments about all the 'pink', i cudnt help but notice the empty pink chair :)
i love pink too.. pink rocks! :D
Sorry for your loss... May she rest in peace...
Anon: =) It would have been nice if you would have left your name.. but very well, thank you for ur comment. The chair is supposed to be red. It was my grand ma's chair.
Blue Rocks!
The Blue freak turned into a Pink freak... what about all the blue thingies...profs..cars..shirts...gadgets..
Anywaz, nice well-expressed poem. It is really hard to realize that the dear ones are gone and one is left with only nostalgic memories. May your Grandma's soul rest in peace.
