Dead End

If it gives no pride
And you have to hide
Truth you brush aside
Thus you see the end

Its nothing on to hold
Sure, no soul is told
If asked you pretend
Thus, smells a dead end

To reality you are blind
And the lies you defend
Faint evidence you depend
Your defense nothing bold

You ignore the turn of tide
By false paths you abide
Sound conscience disregard
Your only home in the wild

The shameful sycamore descend
Alight the abyss bound ride
A rock tray to empty your head
The trophy of chasing the wind

This is it!

To Cate I this dedicate
For your heart so passionate
Step by step you escalate
Melting mighty target to your feet

Splash today with pride
Though no end, smile broad
For this dawn was but a dream
And Hey, This is it!

Take to the sky, Eagless fly
By wings of joy higher propel
And if a soul dare to ask why
Hesitate not to ell the tale

Baby steps faint and remote
Breaking points never to forget
A faithful God by your side
(And dads' rod! Don't pretend!)
A strong hold to this end

And while you are at it
Like a star twinkle bright
Your past never forget
Lest the height one day regret

Live it and celebrate
Feel it and radiate
For Hey, This is it!

Once...

You gave my heart a life
When you gave a chance to love

Once...
You made my heart glad
By the one kind word

Once...
Your gentle and bold hand
Gave me the strength to stand

Once...
Your memory visited my thought
And made less pain that hurt

Once...
Your keen and listening ear
Drove away a threatening fear

Once...
A micro flash of a smile
Pushed me an extra mile

Once...
Your presence though in silence
Restored my lives brightness

Once...
My eyes wet with cry
Your touch left them dry

Once...
My heart running cold
Your node made me bold

Once...
I hope to feel your presence
If only another Once...

My Resolve

I put a seal on this date
A new path to demarcate
From the old I seek to depart
And my priorities set apart

Wishful thinking bid to halt
All planning bearing no fruit
Slow and surely my path I seek
Till the minute I land the peak

Composed consistent and constant my step
Though sluggish on paths steep
But dare I think of sleep
Till my hunt, my fingers grip

Enough the lessons of time
Time to act by my palm
My dream block by block to build
Till tall one day it stand

Desires and fantasies consolidate
To me, fuel for wheels to rotate
To deliver me to the dawn of the date
My mental picture did create

Depart with me my lord
On this tempting treacherous road
Till your promise I behold
Like my forefathers(mothers) of old
