Ode To Myself
ODE TO MYSELF
Melvin Banggollay
With every breath that beckons me,
I mourned with tears without melody
As the dungeon of pains and misery
pricked my heart with thorns of agony
for I lost the joy of life that shields me
when I was killed without any mercy
by the woman I vowed to love faithfully
As she poisoned me with her infidelity
by loving the charm of her somebody.
Darkness blinded my eyes with tears
As I was filled with unexplainable fears
For losing the love I adored with cheers
and nurtured with faith through all the years
While memories of yesterday appeared
With all her charm to remind me of the years
I smiled with joy, peace, and laughters.
I knew if I will rest this life given to me
This woman will surely mock at me,
won't weep nor shed a teardropp for me
to let me see that she was indeed sorry
for clothing me with pains that slowly
killing me and taking this breath away
As I behold no joy to live with any lady
but as I look upon my child, I felt pity
and seek refuge from his innocent beauty
for I knew he still needs my tender mercy.
Oh, God bless me then with courage
To keep me away from painful outrage,
Give me strength to build the bridge
I need to cross life's river with courage.
