Happiest 5th monthsary, beloved!
I guess this is a very late greeting and I know that excuses are kinda lame but life has really caught up with me. Hahaha. So forgive this slowpoke, okay?
By now, you’re prolly fed up with corny poems and more corny poems during our monthsaries but guess what, here’s another poem for you…
When Your Whispers Are More Than Diamonds
They say a woman needs her diamonds
and her fill of the wallet, too.
But these things are only passing,
a mere aspect of a human’s desire
to experience the physical world,
to enjoy what Gaia had laid down her life for.
Ultimately, it’s the heart and the soul
that needs to be satisfied,
to be nurtured until the very end.
And my heart and my soul are not that dull.
They’re sentient beings of their own,
demanding what they desire.
Your face with that silly smile,
a comforting scene after a long day’s work.
Your laughter with that familiar rhythm,
a calming music against the toxic noise.
Your touch, the gentle caresses,
both fiery and welcoming, my heart’s smiling.
Your whispers spoken with love & sincerity
louder than my uncertainties and doubt.
So we ride unto the realm of bliss,
my heart and soul agreeing
and melding with each other.
And yes, you whisper some more
and I do, too.
Because my heart and my soul
would long for it, would desire the
joy of hearing your whispers more.
I love you so much, Bebe Boi. As if the poem is not enough, I compiled several old pictures of you so when you grow “older”, you have something to look back to and reminisce on…
