Once upon a time there lived a dragon, a rabbit and a boar.  They were three formidable characters with strong opinions and a wide stubborn streak.  Most of the time they bickered with each other over household issues and rarely saw eye to eye on things.  It does not need to be said that as much as these three waged petty wars over insignificant fights, they were also each other's guardian angels.  It also does not need to be pointed out that the love shared between these three ran deeper than the ocean itself, even though it was hard for them to show it at times.  One day, it may be too late to say anything anymore but for all the silence and anger once displayed, a stronger, better, and more loyal love remains.

Halo - PCD

I can take off when you need your time.

I can cheerlead for you from the sideline.

Whisper in your ear so divine.

But I'm not a superhero and

I'm sorry I couldn't wear your halo.

I'm sorry I couldn't be your angel.

Til' There's Silence

A thousand cranes had once been made

By a little girl who believed in saints

Around the world they felt her pain

And soon her craft rose up in fame

In another time and foreign place

Someone else had did the same

Instead of cranes, she wept in vain

A thousand heavy tears fell down her face

Across the ocean the girl starts to pray

When the cranes are made, will she be saved

By a hospital bed the sun starts to fade

Silently she awaits for another day

The other girl with a different name

Has stopped her eyes from pouring rain

A thousand and one tears will not change

The things that hurt which still remain

Dirt Tracks

Do sharp pangs suddenly strike

Of beguiled guilt buried deep inside

When I revealed to you a sudden loss

In which you never thought to think of twice

Our roles seem simple comedy

One cries and the other laughs easily

This never ending merry-go-round

Will only cease when one stops riding

The bruises we cause and those we keep

Make for bittersweet memories

In weakness they appear as enemies

With time they are realized as epiphanies

Hubris makes a capricious friend

It may break or save us in the end

We’re in the palm of each other’s hand

Never quite getting what we each planned

The Might of One

There’s a heaviness in my heart

An ocean of tears contained

An invisible shadow that’s cast

Over each step heavily strained

This battle weary armor I don

Is dented with stories of victory

Fiercely fighting the honest fight

Against the reflection that is my enemy

 

“Through the valley of shadow and death,

I will fear no evil,” we say.

For in the dark there will be light

To guide the faithful on their way

 

True strength lies not in the arms we bear

Nor from boastful words loudly declared

The one whose love is selflessly shared

Will conquer happiness from the jaws of despair

A Thousand Miles Later

Don’t let it go to waste

Those elements of surprise

Like a smile that becomes an ally

In moments of distaste

I hope God forgives us

For angry words misplaced

Many good intentions erased

From one too many forgotten mistakes

May the landing be a little softer

For every fall and trip you encounter

From now until you grow older

Will someone catch you when you falter

These words are merely reminders

Wishful thoughts of a foolish lover

Who closes her eyes under the covers

And smiles at memories still remembered

The diary in our heart awaits a key

For someone to set our emotions free

Sometimes the lock is never released

And the ink inside is left to bleed

On this day like any other

A bundle of joy befell your mother

Years to come and years retired

Her love and mine remain unexpired

Complications

Look at all the sorrow in the world

Drowning slowly those miserable souls

Were it not for the promise of dawn

Let songs be sung from broken hearts

Is there reason for the suffering

If love wields weakly against such doubt

We need to rescue only ourselves

And relinquish any crown to hell
