Work In Progress

She! Intimated by guilt broken by perplexity Waiting for the love her life but until then, committed to memories of forlorn moments Threading on the joy rides of halcyon days. Her! Heart of a woman in the depths solitude Plunged and played by people she called friends Lonely soul tormented even by happy melodies In her emptiness void her soul forever shivers. He! Four and half years in self enclosed walls Loosing very essence of youthful love in a rage Finally tumbled down the walls of solitude blind Enclosed soul spirited away into the blues Man! Living in the love of the common people Somewhere in the back streets of the slums Upholding the dream of becoming a hero With nothing more than hope and love from above. Woman! Years upon years of sitting at lecture rooms Graduated with a class but no pass for a job You know the norm of the day If it’s not in she won’t be on board Keep calm hold onto your faith God is at work . You! Balancing ambition with conscience On the road less traveled. A tapestry of soul breaking fortuity That eyes the very core of your maturity. The start ups ,the gigs and realities you quest, Gradually you will get there . I In my simple form in rolling waves Light hearted or heavy ladened With poetry or with spoken words Even in my nothingness and in my woes I will forever defy the cryptic void of silence. She will smile . Her heart will find home . Man will find love . She will be a wife ,A woman of dignity. His dreams will come true. Hold on to you faith and let’s go and get it, Everything we’ve been dreaming. God have our backs We! We are a work In progress There will be fails but we will never regress Steady and gradually we will evolve In love and in laughter all the pain will dissolve In due time when we are done, They will thread here to see From far and near they will travel over the seas The atheist will sing hallelujah The doubters will lurk in their disbelief Our tales will be history Our memories will be legacies For we are a work in progress; Winners within.
