PREFERRED ROAD

-


In an exhausting journey
I traveled quite a distance.
I have freely chosen my route.
A privilege that anyone could

I could have chosen the low road.
Where way could have been smooth and short
Effortless, enjoyable, and comfortable
Embracing no challenges at all

I could have chosen the road in the middle.
Where I could have met some obstacles
It would be a typical encounter.
We could meet on every travel.

Yet I preferred to choose the high road.
Where I climbed to the top of my destination
Motivated to pursue the difficulties
The rough and crooked road was tough to face

Determination boosted my confidence.
Moving forward at my own pace, I persevered.
As I reached up the peak of the mountain
I saw the bounty of the ocean, so exhilarating.

To the man whom my heart commits for life Intensely for decades, I've been here on your side Love that never withers as I devote myself till the end Love that lingers even though many times I was in pain Delve into my heart,  I cried a thousand tears Ethereal sensation is gasping its breath within Axiomatic blast of my tender pledge of love screams To  you who broke me the most, I sense your remorse Hail my heart, it has an outlandish strength to hold Did you find yourself in my heart still being held? Over those years happiness was what I always yielded. Unbothered by the tease of life I tried to be steadfast Sustained through faith I amassed strength to make this last Paving our way now to the inescapable calling of extinction Abloom by intense grip even pangs entwined our emotion Rest assured I will be here, I'll remain stalwart not to depart Two of us will keep our commitments, till death do us part

  I started from scratch One would mind me not Yes, I was just a nobody I had proven nothing in me Yet, I found ways to denote better I open myself to learn and share Untruthful thoughts, I deviated myself It wouldn't help in my call for progress I kept writing from my simplistic heart I struggled, but never I halted because of love Selfishness was never a piece I loved to pick I waltzed with the vision of my ink's magic I learned from friends with minds so broad Never I skip my duty behind my heavy load I wanted to taste the pinnacle of my being No negativity burdens me to flock my wings Pains entwined me, yet with all my might, I soar They embedded to strengthen my sincerest core When I thought of quitting, those hardships abound I diverted my thoughts for my eventuality to sprout I delve into finding ways to heal where I bruised I told myself I could make it by my shrewd Never I mind my dreams far from truth latitude Every time I fell, I rose, I learned in plenitude Oh, plea

SUBSTANCE OF LOVE

  SUBSTANCE OF LOVE On the misty eve of Christmas (2020), I smelled the excellent year of 2021, the year of prosperity. The year to get back to normal as everyone hopes, the year of greatness and power, implies all the experiences we had in 2020, full of challenges. The pandemic gives many twists to our life. Many failed on some plans because of the travel restrictions. Yet,  we can say we need to wait for God's perfect time. Just trust in Him. The pandemic protocols of various places make us dizzy, yet we have learned a lot to deal with it. I looked at it with a grain of salt. It's futile to complain about things aimed at the betterment of all.  When I am alone, I can't stop myself from pondering things that pop up in my mind.  It was not about the pandemic and the lockdown we experienced that prevented us from having business-related inter-island trips.    I was sitting in a little corner of my room, listening to the acoustic tune of my heart and trying to scribble its me
