Rubber Bubbles

"Rubber Bubbles"

I never knew
how inflated rubbers
could bring sparkles
in those melancholic
pale blue eyes
which closets pain
that I could
never comprehend
as I am no good
reader who can
study silver lines.

She chose to be
mum while I keep
her in my voice
She looks through
everyone around as if
there is no choice
but I keep her close
like a warm pullover
to make her feel
I am there
when there is no other.

After many days
she today smiled
my world began
to flourish for a while
a bunch of balloons
made her chuckle
like a baby
she ran behind the
the flying bubbles.

Remembering her father
who played this game
without him now
life won't be the same
still those balloon assure
her of him safe
as they fly to him now
like childhood days.
