THE RACE OF LIFE

Awake I in the wee

Of morn

Standing awe in

Front of the mirror

seeing I a reflection of pain

My lips could'nt

Move

Suddenly in the

Mirror

an appearance of

Imageries of

Timber

and caliber

Saw I

All

Dressed in white

For that wonderful

Occasion of davine's...

She's so beautiful

Graceful

Blissful

But not

Happy to be

With John

Wonder I why

I mean why

Not being happy

Race of life

It's not as

Beautiful

It appears

Or seems to be

Many appeared

Well dressed

graced

And even poised

As I watched keenly

Before my mirror

Only to see another

Version of John

Being a Ritualist

a king-pin

An addict of miseries

All these knew she

but how

When

Who

Come for her

Rescue

for she's blinded

of the materials

saw her in John

Who shall rescue Her from this

Hell trapped

Ask I myself

In mute

Then wonder I

Why worry I

Because wife I've not

Money have I not

Not even home

For self

It's funny

Race of life

Differs from

ANOTHER

Run only

And only

On thy lane

For running on thy lane

Would thine focus

Be alive

To have a fulfilled

Race in life

Suddenly the images

Disappeared

saw I still in awe

Life's race is not

For the swifter

or the swiftest

not even for

Knowledgeable

Yea

But opportunity

Happens to

Them all

Tell I thee

Run with the

Application of light

the rules of

engagement

Apply them all

So that at the end

You will cross

The finish line

The race of life

Appears a mystery

Puzzle ...

Put it together

and you'll be

VICTOR

THE VOW

It's true we're world apart

But I can't do without you

I promise to build

my world around you

And ne'er to be apart

No matter the words

You hurl at me

I will walk you

Down the aisle

You will be my friend

Forever

For the journey

Shall be together

No matter what

I will love you

Sunshine nor rain

You will be mine

This is my vow

I will not cow

It now

You're my vow
