Love over Ambition

by: Randello M.Braga

I once dreamt

Of castles and horses

Clad in mystique golden robes

With that ring

 That gave enormous power

A name that reverberates

O’er the lands

Of the known and unknown

Before me, creation falls on their knees

Waiting for words

Of either glory or misfortune

Thoughts that conquer

Not only the physique

But the spirit and mind

Gives hope to the unfortunate

Even to the mute and dumb

In a snap of a finger

And a quick wink of an eye

Hues of glory and honor faded

Like a whirlwind romance

Every desire came to its end

Shattered and broken to pieces

Little did I know

Solitude and sorrow enslaved me

I was blinded with fame

Living in a fleeting happiness

Deafened by empty praises

Not knowing how great affections are

Now I am awakened by the reality

Without someone to love and share

Everything’s futile

Waking up one day

When affluence is gone and friends had turned their backs

Still, life is precious and beautiful

With you beside me holding my calloused hands.
