those little needles on cheeks;
your kisses are a fond memory
i always turn to for solace.
i love your moustache;daddy they make you
so distinctive.
and your pipe, it makes you so much
like my intellectual hero, Albert Einstein.
i am always inexplicably attracted to the
smoke swirling into the air as you
write through the night.
I was always fascinated why they always
disappeared into nothingness when a child.
As i grew older, this phenomenom has jolted me to realise
that one day we too will
follow the transient smoke;
disappear into the silence
of the night, into another realm.
I am grateful that with each
growing year, my love for you have
grown deeper, thickened like smoke.
It's so ... sad adn happy adn wonderful all at once ....
