The Lighthouse

Lost, in a sea of despair,
he wondered if he’ll survive.
Given up his quest,
to find the part he needed to repair. 

The day he left on his quest,
he promised to never forget
the things that matter the most,
the light that shined abroad.

He struggled on his boat,
trying not to drown.
He seek with hope,
the light that shone.

Waves of emotions rattled his boat.
He hung strong, he wouldn’t let go.
He remembered his voice,
follow the light, It will bring you back home.

Thunder rumbled,
lightning made the night look bright.
Then he saw it,
the lighthouse shined bright.

Eager he paddled,
fighting for his life.
The wave started to rise,
tumbling the boat over, with passenger inside.

Miles from shore he struggled,
to keep himself afloat.
His endeavor was excruciating,
he left himself go. 

Washed ashore he found him,
little did he know,
that was his light that brought him,
finally safe home.

With tears in his eyes he hold him,
didn’t want to let go.
He cradled his body with grace and love.
A cough broke the silence, he had to let go.

The sailor was coughing,
water from his lungs.
His partner just stood there,
he didn’t know what to do.

He rushed him to the lighthouse,
where they shared their love.
The doctor came running,
to check what was wrong.

After a couple of hours,
the sailor awoke.
A grin on his face
as he saw his true love.

The light of your lighthouse
guide me back home.
It saved my life,
it brought me ashore.

Your love had just saved me,
your light you shone.
You were right when you told me
it will bring me back home.

I almost lost my battle,
to the sea of despair.
I couldn’t leave without you,
so I came back this way.

Since then they remembered
they’ll never be lost.
They will always find each other,
with the light that shines on.

Broken Pieces

Broken pieces
Is all I have,
From a past
I did survive.

My hopes and dreams
They all were,
Broken by life;
Whole they once were.

I put them in a box,
‘Cuz I didn’t want to share
The hurt and pain,
The tears everywhere.

But you decided to peek in
And saw the pieces.
With a big grin,
You look at the creases.

How beautiful are these pieces,
Full of color, full of wishes.
Something pretty might come out of this,
Because even in the broken, beauty there is.

I looked in disbelief
As he pour the pieces into a tube
Praying my wishes
Will finally come true.

As he finished his craft,
I looked in awe.
My pain and my troubles
Were turn into laughs.

The broken pieces
Now shined in the light.
They felt like warm kisses
On a starry night.

It’s a kaleidoscope he said,
Magic from the pain.
From the broken pieces,

Joy and love came again.

Gone

Gone.
Just like that
he disappeared 
from this mortal life.

His dreams, 
his happiness.
All taken
by Lady Justice.

Who gave her the right?
Who made her almighty?
They say she’s blind.
All she do is bind.

His soul crumbles 
in the darkness.
The sob can be heard 
through the cell blocks.

And it’s that he didn’t expected this.
Lady Justice blinded him,
with false hopes of
holidays to come.

For gifts and love.
From tears of joy.
From the warmest hug.
Confinement. 

The sun will rise again,
and the pain of yesterday
will forever be there, reminding him.
Torture.

But the strength of his loves ones prevail,
gives him hope.
It makes him fight, 
the dark thoughts. 

For now a letter will do.
A couple of seconds 
to hear his voice.
TIME.

The world will never know,
how she tricked him.
All it will know is that for now he is 

Gone.

The Lost and the Light

I carry my pickaxe 
Everywhere I go. 
It helps me battle
The darkness that follows. 

He builds a wall,
Trying to protect
The dimmest light
That's left inside. 

I need that light. 
No matter how dim,
No matter how bright,
I need that light. 

It will help me
Win my battle. 
Outgrown,
The darkness that follows. 

Tall and strong 
Is this wall of his. 
I hit it with my pickax
And down my spine goes a chill. 

I won't let him still my light,
A voice screams 
Behind, behind
The tall and strong wall. 

But the light had its own struggle. 
It fancied the warrior,
And also the boy behind the wall. 
Conflicted. 

The pickax hit harder,
And the wall grew taller. 
But the kid got tired. 
So did the warrior. 

The light got free,
And a sob was heard. 
The kid's biggest fear
Had come to life.

The warrior noticed. 
He hit the wall. 
The wall tremble,
And started to fall. 

Face to face
For the first time
They were...
The kid and the warrior. 

I've seen you before,
Said the kid. 
I think that I know you,
Said the warrior. 

The time stood still,
And a big silence followed. 
Lost in each other's stares,
They dropped to their knees.

This time the light spoke.
Strong and sincere,
Calmed...
Scared...

 Behold, 
In front of you lies
Your past. 
In front of you lies
Your future. 

Perplexed, 
They look at each other.
Wondering...
Remembering. 

Once you were whole,
The light spoke. 
Happiness and joy,
Strength and determination; fear. 

But life hit you, 
Hard and relentless. 
You gave up,
And armed up.

You carry that pickax,
Everywhere you go. 
It makes you feel stronger,
But inside you're not. 

It was that happiness, 
That joy;
It kept you going 
Even when the dark was following. 

But you let me go,
And lost your soul became. 
The darkness grew darker,
Your heart got harder. 

When more scared you were,
You remembered it then.
You didn't know it was me,
You didn't know I was you. 

But you need each other!
Because, when you're one
You outshine the darkness,
 For once. 

You must accept
The choices you made. 
Now let's us be one
And fixed what once got wrecked. 

With a nod both acknowledge,
And the light shined bright. 
It fused both souls 
Together as one. 

Now they face life,
Together. 
Out shining the darkness,
As swift as a feather.

The Price of Magic

Found myself in a dark place once.
Scary thoughts ran through my mind,
Making me feel and see horrible things.
Help me I screamed.

How long has it been?
Days? Weeks?
Months? Years?
I screamed once more.

Lost in the shadows,
There he was too.
A knight in shinning armor,
Whose light was dimming.

He raised his sword by instinct,
Trying to protect himself.
He also has been through a lot.

He looked into my eyes,
Then he smiled.
Help had arrived,
For me… for him.

We hold each other.
We stumbled in the dark,
But we held each other.
Firmly.

As we walked, the darkness faded.
His shine returned,
And so did my hopes.
We charged forward.

Comfortable we got too fast.
Once out of the darkness,
Our lives began to thrive.
It was all a mirage.

When we least expected,
The darkness came back.
Just like a curse,
It was just a trap.

Our love was magic,
And it always comes with a price.
Our price was his freedom,

And my broken heart.
