April Fools

 

April first beware,
here comes the trickster.
He’s a real foe.
He’ll make you a fool.

He laughs and dances,
with his victims’ cries.
He deeply enjoys,
their pitiful howls.

With him, his crowd laughs,
some joker he is.
He toys with his friends.
His pranks never ends.

He’s a great trickster,
the king of laughter.
With his heart-break tool,
who’s the real fool?

Starting Fresh

I have seen your face,

a really pleasant one.

Still my reluctance.

Have you done something wrong?

I have heard you laugh,

and it touched my senses.

Yet again my doubt,

to feel sudden coldness.

Who are you my friend?

Have I met you before?

You offered me aid,

then you let me fall hard.

But that was a blur,

I can never recall.

Walk for the future,

Come join me, take my hand.

Never mind the past,

yesterday is long gone.

Today is a good start,

to know a friend once more.

You’re a Super Hero by Joie Schmidt

Poisoned Heart

The link weakens day by day,

as the sting gets worse.

Some sad bitterness to say,

in my heart it will hold.

The sweetness of your voice, lost,

gone with your silence.

My pleading gaze, you abhor,

as my own fate crumbles.

Slowly you kill me inside.

Little by little,

the promise of love dissolves,

as hate consumes it all.

Light Bearer

She is no goddess,

not even a beauty.

Just a plain old lady,

yet see her face.

How her sweet smile,

enlightens someone’s heart.

He is no scholar,

not even a wise one.

An ordinary man,

yet he listens.

How his kind ears,

saves someone from peril.

They are no angels,

not ethereal beings.

See their feet on the ground,

yet, light bearers-

stars of the lost,

sanctuaries of the sad.

Not a mere mortal,

you are something divine.

Let your light touch their souls,

heed their soft cries,

open your heart.

You are a light bearer.

Come Close to Me by Kate Smedley

Why Do People Die?

Why do people die?

My deepest agony.

Once it was natural,

today it’s personal.

Why do people die?

My pain, my sarcasm.

Once my life is perfect,

now it’s a complete wreck.

Why do people die?

Silly question I ask.

We knew all the answer.

Yet I painfully ask.

Why do people die?

Now feel my spirit break.

Missing her, missing him.

Why do they have to die?

Breathe for You by MMV Abad
Missing You by MMV Abad

Daybreak

He is an earthly warrior,

strong and bold within his soul.
Yet still a mere mortal,
his body suffers pain.

His battle has not ended,
much blood lost, but pride remains.
More trials still at hand,
sacrifices to face.

Courage will not desert him.
The cold may gnaw him tonight.
Wounds may ceaselessly bleed.
Then all will come to pass.

As dawn touches his sorrow,
night will soon come to an end.
He’ll rise again for war,
for his scars will soon mend.
