(07 Feb 2006 &#8211; 29 Jan 2010)
The memories you left, created treasures more King,
The pain we embrace, we rejoice for meaning we did.
Our tears, they bridge a stairway for us to reach,
Your wings around us surely, when hear we rustle of winds.
We miss you so much Nadia.

Remember I the times sore,
Stricken; afflicted and wretched.
Besetment assail’d from above,
Like the bottomward that downpour’d. 
There sat I at sixes and sevens,
Dazed at what just befell.
For at the bridge knew not I,
What wrong I did nor neither fate might.
How did such beauty and perfection cease?

<p>Remember I the times sore,<br />
Stricken; afflicted and wretched.<br />
Besetment assail’d from above,<br />
Like the bottomward that downpour’d. </p>
<p>There sat I at sixes and sevens,<br />
Dazed at what just befell.<br />
For at the bridge knew not I,<br />
What wrong I did nor neither fate might.</p>
<p>How did such beauty and perfection cease?<br />
Why my imaginary cloud shapes no longer pleased?<br />
For the bright blessed day of just 5 minutes,<br />
Now overcast acerbity.</p>
<p>Though things may sometimes I never know,<br />
Left unsolved it may best be so.<br />
Memories more precious for there in Heart stays,<br />
But storms will eventually dissipate.</p>
<p>With time I sat the more I knew,<br />
Darkest clouds too come and go.<br />
Silver linings are there always,<br />
When storms pass there they glow. </p>

<p>It’s all at variance; the feeling now after ye move.<br />
166 a place dear now seems so at ease.<br />
Leisurely seated on the blue-tiled stool as writing these,<br />
For depart’d fear of chance you’d see my doing this.</p>
<p>Not ever hoped I that I may glimpse of Thee,<br />
Nor ever dreamt that my sight would cross with Thee’s.<br />
But solace seeking and relish that I stay here,<br />
Near my very own yellow-signed love story.</p>
<p>Even though Thou’s shadow has shifted expectedly,<br />
More of a memory, a picture frame in mind it hath left me.<br />
Yes, it may look silly or crazy some have deem’d.<br />
To this special place frequent I still constantly.</p>
<p>The taint’d white cat cuddles up next to me,<br />
As if it knows me, of my solitary misery.<br />
Occasionally it steals glances; those that pierce right through the soul,<br />
It be like saying: “Easy, I feel for you for I the same fate be.”</p>
<p>Still my thoughts would often play cruel tricks on me.<br />
Thinking how nice it would be if all can restart from time on bridge.<br />
For then, it would still feel like an eternity;<br />
An eternity so perfect in fairy dreams.</p>
<p>How heart-wrenching that sound of bus should pull alongside me,<br />
Snapping me out of my own world; this world of poetic release.<br />
So as light breeze this night ends this week abruptly,<br />
My leaving likened to Enya’s “Deora Ar Mo Chroi”;<br />
“Tears Of My Heart” it sings indeed.</p>

<p>Bridge over calm waters we stroll’d, carried by the breeze of arvo cool.<br />
Stopp’d in middle did we, sat to say things with glee.<br />
What seem’d like a walk in eternity, I wish to take along thee and only.<br />
Traffic which past and strode, not an inch felt; as if time stilled for we.</p>
<p>Things of said rarity, appeared in picture frame perspective.<br />
The spread of eagle wings signified our very moment; feelings.<br />
Even poles of light with differing properties, came to me as so very pretty.<br />
Must be, it must be, when only thee next to me.</p>
<p>Though our meeting was haste and time which chas’d,<br />
time which on the bridge, did indeed still for me.</p>
