Sounds of Love: A Poem by Muhamad Solahudin bin Ramli

SOUNDS OF LOVE

The writer believes that a beautiful camaraderie makes life a wonderful journey
Those mornings that woke me up
Those nights that kept me staying up
I had never given it up…
I remembered the worst lullabies I sang
That made me sleep before you rang
The time I would hear a bang
You would say something out of desperation
Explaining your bad action
I shook my head in exasperation

It was like a magic spell
You had grown up well
No more tales to tell
I sometimes missed the smell
When you were shouting like hell
But you rang me no bell

I longed for the lips
Landing on my cheeks
I longed for the body
Holding me close saying “Daddy”
I longed for those killing smiles
That drove me crazy
I longed for those healing smiles
That made me feel cozy






I needed neither Michaelmas Daisy on September
Nor a bouquet of red roses each year
I just wanted you to remember
Your words to your story-teller
Saying I would never leave you father
And I would love you ever after
Those words I would inspire
To live my life with no fear


Forgetting you, I never could
Even the moment I left for good









 "This poem was written in conjunction with Father's Day children celebrate each year."
