Faint light
and fading night;
The bird sings
its melancholic insight.
Caged inside an absurd universe,
each melody is an unsung curse.

Muffled scream
and shattered dream;
The coyote bids
a disdainful grim.
Fragments of false salvation shroud its way  
resulting in an impenetrable barricade.

Utter obscurity
and interweaving despondency;
A dauntless zephyr emerged
from the tenebrific shadows
of misfortune and tragedy
releasing the desolated soul.
This is why suffering sweetens the reward.


"You are my greatest redemption.", she whimpered.

I looked at her,
like how the first sunlight
glimpse over the Earth's weary atmosphere.

I kissed her,
when I saw those jaded eyes & worn-out soul
hiding underneath her blithe veneer.

I held her,
like how the shoreline
embraces the rushing big waves.

I felt her,
when I saw the sharp edge of misery
carving ****** marks on her flesh.

..But she shoots a bland smile
and that's when I knew
she handles raging storms in pursuit of smooth sail.
