LOVE AND WAR


Dwindling in the icy course of the roads that never met

Yet trying her best to remember what he said...

Her feet are sore, her clothes torn... yet she goes on

With the end of this aching night comes a blissful morn

The wrath of the winter lord has made this place so still,

No signs of life, no trace of joy...Just this blistering chill

The only hint of life being she, the lady in pure white

As if an angel of the arctic, as if the winter’s bride...


Just a few miles ahead her suitor plays his flute

Amidst a war-torn scene, in the kingdom of the brute!

Counting his last hours, immersed in sweet memories,

Of the times he spent together with his beloved lady.

Her pretty face flushing pink in love before his eyes...

And no he won’t pinch himself lest it shall make him cry

But tears did glide his weary cheeks and even her pallid face....

Love hast conquered this heartless war, all by the lord’s grace!

SPIRIT OF THE PRESENT

I pay no heed to the past

Or the future yet not born.

The innocent laugh of the baby,

From the present maketh me strong!


I would not care for the rashes,

Or the scars from the past that I got

For I would not care for my skin,

With age it shall wrinkle and wrought.


This heart as fragile as glass

Preyed upon by scores of wolves...

Yet this heart lay not barren,

For my soul fills up my mood.


This soul, my cohort of life

My guide to joy yet not seen...

This soul, that makes me strive,

For a life I’ve promised to win.
