Sweet July

Today I mark this day, 

should I go or should I stay?
Everything has gone wrong,
not his fault or my doing.

Boldness has gone astray,
should I go or should I stay?
To see dearest things fall,
thus, embrace a vacant hall.

Struggling to find my way,
should I go or should I stay?
My dilemma, my pain -
can there be something to gain?

Such scorn of my July,
no way to go but to stay.
I chew on a candy,
as I pray for things my way.

'As we find ways to go through life inconveniences.'

Courageous March

For a moment, the end,

proudly you have conquered.

Fruit of your toil, you earned,

wounds will finally mend.

Still, road covers afar-

A smoother start,

bumpy sections.

Beyond more, a question.

Thus, never will it end,

as the spirit’s fire burn-

Far more way to extend,

much more from life to learn.

As a chapter closes,

hopes, we won’t lose.

Forward we go,

                   for a new tomorrow.

It isn’t easy to smile when you’re sad,

or be merry when your heart is breaking.

It is very hard to stand on your ground,

when everything you see is collapsing.

How can you ever find light for guidance,

or have faith in such sorrowful darkness?

No hope remains, an act of cowardice-

of trust upon His majesty’s kindness.

It’s never easy to see someone sob,

or hear somebody fall from misery.

Hence, we find courage for the sake of love.

We rise again to kiss darling’s cry.

Indeed, a hardship to carry the world.

But in love’s name, nothing is such a load.
