TOMORROW IS MINE
By Leah C. Dancel
The sun melted the cold oppressions
That tormented my soul for years.
Anguish and suffering were tasked, in silence cast away.
Forget about hard knocks
I keep moving on...
Soon my world was drowned in empty nest.
My cheery heart did cry in darkness.
I turned to work: my place of refuge;
An aid for loneliness;
I found peace within.
As I eluded earthly love,
My walls of Jericho built up.
My friends who're few and far in between
Were amused of my sonorous chants;
Left me to fend on my own.
Then fate decidedly intervened.
All my nightmares changed into gorgeous dreams.
Just as I gave up dreaming
You came out of the blue
You tugged my heart and I fell in love with you.
But one day, I vanished without trace.
I left no word, nor sign of whereabouts.
I hid among the forest of despondent graves
Wanting to slay all cruel ghosts without mercy.
And cried until my heart bled no more.
An Angel came to my rescue.
He asked me to come home to poetry.
His trust I owed, I gave it one more try.
I settled in, the Mother Eagle opened her wings.
My poetic muse works one day at a time.
Another channel has opened.
My poet beau and I did cross our path.
We renewed our promise
In each other's arms we belong.
With throbbing hearts we locked a true love that is reborn.
No matter how darkness engulfed our past.
And hopelessness is unceasing.
The light of day will always crack after dawn
Let our faith keep the fire burning.
For Tomorrow Is Yours and Mine!

Were amused of my sonorous chants;
Left me to fend on my own.
Then fate decidedly intervened.
All my nightmares changed into gorgeous dreams.
The farmer that my heart had long desired,
Knocked my heart down and planted
His seed of love with patience till he reaped the crown.
But one day, I vanished without trace.
I left no word, nor sign of whereabouts.
I hid among the forest of despondent graves
Wanting to slay all cruel ghosts without mercy.
And cried until my heart bled no more.
