Sometimes

Sometimes we see things in color

Sometimes in black and white

Sometimes we succumb to the darkness

Sometimes we bathe in the light

Sometimes we know what's wrong

Sometimes we know what's right

Sometimes we crumble in weakness

Sometimes we unleash our might

Sometimes we cower in fear

Sometimes we're brave enough to fight

Sometimes we're very perceptive

Sometimes we lose sight

Sometimes our judgments are cloudy

But mostly, they're clear and bright

Sometimes we're cruel for no reason

But most of the time, we know how to be polite

Sometimes we think that we're not good enough

But our presence alone would suffice

Sometimes we lose ourselves in guilt

Other times,

We enjoy the rewards with great delight

Things might happen tomorrow

Or they might happen tonight

But if you hold your head up high 

And have faith

I guarantee you

Everything is going to be alright

Your Word Calms My Soul

A confusing state

Where fear thrives and hate

Shameful, so then I hide

I'm your filthy, stained bride

When I feel unloved

Whenever I sob

When all things go wrong

Where do I belong?

Everything is unfair

I can no longer bear

And then You came over

Then I heard You whisper

"You're mine,

I'm your Lover."

As dark as the darkest coal

My imperfections, my sins

You kissed away, took them all

Sewn my heart with perfect seams

Placed a light, eternal beam

Took all that would take a toll

Whenever the world screams

Your Word calms my soul

The Memory Lane

I am down

The memory lane

I saw bliss

I saw pain

But they were not long

As short as a song

The hatred, the laughter

The weeping hereafter

Then,

The bend in the road

A sign

A bode

I don't know where you are

I might have the idea

Wherever it is, 

it might be far

Another day

Chapter, way

We merge

Then we diverge

Choosing solidarity

To forgo a pal

Of rarity

'Tis temporary

I'll still send prayers

Whilst we're apart

Take heart

'Tis not the end

Tomorrow

No more sorrow

Whenever I can

I'll see you again

What I Learned Along the Way

Image source: IG @eccentricsky

There's a proverb I know

A true friend sticks closer than a brother

He's there during life's tranquility

But soldiers on even the seas get stormy

Better a neighbor nearby than a family away

A cord of three strands is not easy to break

Kneels down with you when you pray

Another proverb I learned along the way

So to my dear beloved peer

I cherish you and I'm always all ears

Here's to warming each other every winter

And to sharing every of our summer laughter

                                  

  For my friend, Cristy.

Irony

@eccentricsky

Life's a mystery riddle

Enigmatic and fickle

One thing I know that's funny:

They call it life's irony.

What matters you disregard,

What does not; pursued and guard

But I resolved to be decisive

Far from old me: naive.

Learned to see things in color

Like a rare superpower!

Let me tell you simple key

Shades of grey I do not see

If not too dark, it's too bright

Just two hue:

Black and white

A midnight call

Trees so tall

You will crawl

When I ask for help

Through a midnight call

Many a towering wall

You'll climb them all

When I ask for help

Through a midnight call

You quiet my every bawl

And weighty loads you haul

When I ask for help

Through a midnight call

I think you're a goofball

Because you come in every fall

Every time I ask for help

Through a midnight call

Warns me for pitfall

Catches me on my downfall

Even if I don't ask for help

Through a midnight call

Now to end this cornball

I want you to recall

My love overflows like a waterfall

And warms your back like a shawl

So don't hesitate to ask for help

Even if it's through

A midnight call

(For a faithful comrade on her 20th.)
