How do i live without you, she asked?

With a smile he replied

You, my darling deserve a happy ending

For i am broken and cannot give you that which you need.

As I walked out of the room
My legs now heavy to take another step
The door slammed at my face
I had just met another roadblock
Only that this time, the dagger was stuck deep in my chest.

This was meant to be my final break
A breakthrough I had envisaged
I had the best performance or so I thought
Another lesson of failure added to the list.

I compromised a lot to make this work
Feeling of affection I was so sure was mutual
On a cold morning I got a rude awakening
I had just been traded for another.

But I raise my head up
My pride still intact
A point to prove that these lessons are just chapters
The fuel that drives me to the beautiful ever after.

I dare not back down from these challenges
I dare to create new pathways beyond the roadblock
The detours is just a small price to pay
For a meaningful end to a sweet story.

If happy lives a mile away
A couple steps is all it takes
If kindness lives in everyone
Then all it takes is standing up

The greatest things you will ever know
Are the gifts that cannot be measured
An extended hand of hope
To save a soul from drowning

An act of kindness is all it takes
A light guiding us through the horrors of the tunnel
For journeys you cannot take alone
I will go with you to lead you home

At the opposite end of the mirror
She saw beauty she never believed in

All her years she had lived in the scars of her past
Sheltered by the shadows of fear
She longs for a safe haven
With the hope of finding a savior to pull her out of the dark

This she found at the image that stared right back at her
An angel, a savior that has finally been acknowledged
A soul that was ready to be free
She found strength in her pain
She found beauty in her scars.

To the good times that we share
You make the little moments special
Your laughter still echoes in my head
Your smile, a soothing relief to my pain

The best chapters of my life has your name on every page
A tale of magic
A tale of love
A beautiful reminder that Angels live amongst us
And I am a believer of the blessings they bring.

OPPORTUNITY
Like an unwelcomed guest it comes
Seeking a place to lay its head
With its intention not truly known
It awaits an abode where it will be nurtured

Its gifts wrapped in mystery
Unraveled only to those who seek it
All their days had they prepared for this
A perfect timing meets exceeding rewards

Like a farmer who smiles after a bountiful harvest
Like a student who's just aced his degree exams
So does opportunity meets a mind who is prepared and willing
To seize the moment and make the best use of that which he is given.
