"Unalloyed Beginning"

I’m wandering lonely in a plaited labyrinth
My steps are careful, slow but apprehended.
Each morning greets me with blissful sun shines
And nights grant me with fruitful twilights.
I’m making my way and then I met you —
In a short distance, I stopped and babbled.
I know this is the start of something new,
in my journey to the ladder of real world.
You make me smile every time I face the dawn.
You’re like a guiding light — right paths are shown.
I stumble, I stand up and I see your face,
I try and I succeed, I’ve always wanted you to embrace.
How will I reach you? You’re now traveling far,
If only I could run, to get that brightest star.
I’m still in a maze; you’re now at the end,
You’ll never wait for me, that’s all I comprehend.
Your footsteps will always be my motivation,
to reach my goal and go beyond my destination.
This bewilderment I know I’ll overcome,
Whenever I’m down, I’m certain you’ll come.
I’m sure one day I’ll be crossing your way,
‘cause in your soulful, I’ve always hoped to stay.

"Gallantry Endowed"

Amidst my life’s halcyon days
And momentous times that crossed my way;
Little by little, the clear blue skies
Started to vanish taking my delight.
Now I found myself strolling down the humped road
Hoping someone will help and carry my load.
I’m tired and I’m looking for a spring of water,
My clothes were torn apart, I needed a shelter.
I’m sad an hopeless and those cold nights
Reminded me of life’s fright and deceit.
Those prosperous days were now just a bygone
But I know it’ll be brought back by a helpful talisman.
Life is unknown and ironic.
It has given me awe and panic.
Some things were really not mean to be,
And didn’t work out the way I wanted it to be.
I just have to kneel down and pray
So as not to stumble in a flooding hay,
Disgorge my perplexities and stand up high
Like a phoenix rising from its funeral pile.
I have now the strength, afraid no more…
Ready for the battle, guided by the Greatest Armor..
