Fidel Arcenas - Broken bond

Broken bond

Irrepressible wave unto the shore,
You rush into my tender willing embrace
The stars play Gregorian chants of yore
As heavens fill our chalices with grace

Our hearts by bonfire flames entwined
Sway to the rhythm of Pacific winds;
Time tiptoes to its cabin to unwind,
The brevity of hours its rescinds

To let us find our eternity
In our solemn bond on which we vow;
But your flighty heart alters so quickly
Leaving me broken, so desolate now

The tide recedes and life loses its rhyme,
Yet from this nadir where I bear my grief
With faith shall I rise in my own springtime
To retrieve my heart from you, heartless thief;

I shall redeem myself no matter the pain,
Blaze new trails and build my own bastion
Where only sincere and pure hearts shall reign
Then shall I proclaim by vindication.

Fidel Arcenas
