Warrior Soul

When is this war going to end?

Patience is the key they said,

I can't hold anymore

The turmoils inside me rise

like an angry fire,

These turn into ashes

With every drop of my tear;

I can't bear anymore

this union sound of fire and water

It makes me say

Go away!

Let me sleep....

Don't give me sunburns

In this moonlit cold night;

A ghostly voice whispers

"You are a warrior

And warriors don't give up"

I have never given up!

Nor will I..

I am standing strong

With my katana

Come what may

I'll kill whatever blocks my way,

I am tired not of killing

But this war,

It has become a way of living

I am stuck inside

Like an ant in a cookie jar

Who never gives up,

Who keeps climbing and slipping hundred of times

And tries hard

With the same zeal all over again;

Patience, patience, patience they said

Till when? I asked.

Slowly the room turns snow white

And the dwarfs of happiness, peace, and joy surround me

We have a message for you they said

"You are not alone on this path

Hold my hand,

I'll be your strength, I'll be your warmth"

The war ends with the curves on my lips widened

As I read the letter,

An angel appears

Shredding snow flakes on my sunburns

She comforts me with her embrace

And the warrior in me sleeps like a baby

With no more questions in his heart,

Dwarfs of happiness, peace, and joy suddenly grow bigger

With each breath, I take wrapped in her arms....
