Don Bukana Poems

Oh, fair and lovely maiden, I doth profess
That thou art the sun in my darkened night
The very breath that gives life to my chest,
And my heart's delight with thy eyes so bright
...

Hate, hateful hate, how doth thy poison spread,
A venomous fang within the human heart,
That doth darken all thoughts of light instead,
And tears friends and lovers far apart.
...

If thou seeketh perfection in life's great stage,
Then contentment, like a distant star, doth age.
For all the world, with all its wondrous ways,
Is but a fleeting spectacle, a passing phase.
...

From dust we come, and to dust we'll go
A fleeting existence, a transient glow
Our life, a mere moment in time
A journey that ends, with the chime
...

Take me home, to where the fields are green
Where the skies are blue, and the air is clean
To the place where my heart and soul belong
Where the peace and love are forever strong
...

I know why the caged bird sings
For I have felt its pain
Its wings are clipped, its heart in strings
Yet it sings out in refrain
...

My heart sings love tunes, sweet and pure
A melody that echoes through my core
It resonates within my soul
Filling me up, making me whole
...

With each breath, I feel the weight
Of borrowed time, a silent debt
To those who've passed, without a trace
To all that's gone and that's yet to face
...

The road of life is full of twists and turns
With obstacles that try to make us swerve and churn
But strong and steady we must stride
And hold our heads up high with pride
...

Tell me, and I'll take flight like a gentle dove
Across oceans, mountains, and skies so high
To fulfill your desires, to never say goodbye.
...
