I found you
    beneath my wings
    as I soared against
    the tricky wind.

I met you
    when our whispers
    seemed to harmonize
    with broken strings.

I spoke to you
    like I've known you
    for a century
    or two.

I wrote for you
    in words
    to be read
    between lines
    with rhymes.

My uninvited guest has left me chest bombs.
He still lurks around the neighborhood
frightening us every now and then with no
known pattern unlike the whereabouts of a serial killer.

My uninvited guest knocks never from
the front door or the rear ones but tries to pound under
the floorboards shattering every home, stirring hopes.
He destroyed facades, detested our faith.

My uninvited guest has come once upon a time
turning the sunshine morning sight
into a shaking mourning scene. And up until now,
I still rush to the doorstep not to welcome him
but to run away, run for my life.

Between the uncertainty of life
And the approach of death
Put strong faith and consistent prayers
To shield against
The unpredictable up and down motion
Of the angry earth
And, we have survived.

You were as blurry
As the windshield
Of that passenger vehicle
I rode on just this noon
When I’m coming home
And I've waited for your text message
And I kept on looking at the screen
Hoping your name might appear
With you saying
You missed me so much
But it didn't happen
And it rained so heavy
The wiper’s dysfunctional
Causing the driver a hard time
Tracing down
The slippery road.
