Sonnets For Rain

ain Paggao, a bandmate, a best friend, and the*Star*
brother I never had}So many bards did sing of stars,
*Rain*Whose beauty they could see.
Your brilliant words were magical;The chords you strummed on your guitar
They always lit my mind.Had always brought me glee.
Your simplest thoughts, sublime, divine;The words I wove, the tunes you plucked—
They’d borne my spirits high.They blended—harmony!
In mirth or pain, in loss or gain,Among the stars our songs retired;
Your songs poured forth like rain.They twinkle when I’m sad.
Not once before when we were young,I know, stars, in reality,
I found myself in drought;Are but a burning gas.
You always poured like real rain,Despite that, you remain to be
’nriching me in delight.The brightest I can see.
And now from you I’m far away,A star—that’s what you’ll
My friend, I miss you so.always be,
Friendship built on brotherly loveForever ’nspiring me!
Till old age may it last.*Rainbow*
*Moon*In various hues you came to me
When you were Sun while I was Moon,In times when I was blue.
To us it mattered not.December then, remember when—
The light you cast upon my pathOh, what a rendezvous!
Has never made me blind;I awed you with my Cure attire;
For you possess a noble soul,In turn, you stunned me, too:
Which Pride can never touch.Your licks and tricks on your guitar—
The words like rays your pen did shineThe start of something New
Illuminated mine.Wave. Music has made us brothers,
The songs you made, the hopes you gaveSet us on a journey,
Are always in my heart.Which changed our lives forever more.
When ’twas my turn to be the sun,How colorful it was!
As Moon you did your part.Among the many friends I have…
Whoever’s Sun or Moon, I know,The rainbow smiled at you.
To us it matters not.
