even if the sun does not shine tomorrow
i will hold you tight and we will be alright
even if the worst storm causes us to lose it all
i will keep your sanity straight and together we can recreate
even if the devil's frigidity spell encloses us into hid trap
i will fearlessly protect and be boldly brave and immovably direct
even if the darkness takes away the simplest form of our sight
i will innovatively lighten a path to a New Tomorrow Aftermath
even when death inevitably comes and God calls us Home
i will still love you in all ways that always brightens all nights and all days
I CHERISH YOU UNTIL OUR TIME ON THIS EARTH IS OFFICIALLY THROUGH
My usual meditation in the morning
Was abruptly breached by a mosquito
Tearing the quiet of the moment growing
The vanished scar is an adverse memento.
It was seen at my foot immovably stuck
Inflated with blood like a drunk
A billionaire sunk
Into the quagmire of life
Removed from the dishonestly acquired bunk.
The dead insect was scooped out using nail
The dead had to leave out everything including blood
It left no trail no trial to face to pass or fail.
Life’s accumulated blood
Would never be carried to the next birth
Of the inner resident.
This city is infested by mosquitoes
It accepts all insects and foes
In exchange of modern tourism with prearranged
Contact and appointment flourishing on its shore
With Nature’s endowment of Sea over the others to score;
After all citizens face no hurdle
From restrictions legal or illegal
They don’t have to stand any trial or battle
Anything beyond what they have
They don’t mind if life around is soothing or rough.

As my tripping footsteps
enter deeper into the path of intense darkness,
I start feeling the trance of trepidation
and much despised misery
seaps through me with a sense of admonition;
the night owls cold eyes immovably glare
to confine me into their scary stare...
until I dash off rapidly!
Sunrise,come quickly
to subdue my forethoughts of dreadfulness
into this night without stars!
I look up to a dark and unwinkling Universe...
exposing me to an enormous unrest:
will it be a deluge or a tempest
to end all traquillity?
Whatever threatens me invisibly,
or compels me to fret...
won't cause my courage to lessen:
contrarily, it will increase it even more...
'till I find another path;
its a risk worth-taking to befuddle any enemy!
Sunrise,come quickly
to bring radiance and harmonious sounds
over this tempestous sea,
which keeps away all the discontented gulls;
sunrise, come quickly...
my entrapped spirit longs for liberty!
