To the man who upended my Tigang na universe, a blissful 9th with you. With all the hullabaloo happening in SocMed at this very moment, what with all the memes about long messages being a red flag for infidel partners, I was almost afraid to post this because it’s going to be a long-winded poem. Hahahaha. But hey, I love you too much not to post this. Bleeh.
So here’s another poem for you, my heart.
LONGING FOR YOU
It’s not an obsession,
It’s not a kink,
It’s not a fetish,
That I always do things
about you, with you,
or related to you.
It’s this heart, this mind,
this soul are set to responding
to every call that excites them.
And you, my heart, excites me.
Every fiber of my being,
ever cell is attuned to you.
Yes, life may be bigger than us,
But life is not life without
the excitement brought
your existence.
For life isn’t simply about breathing
or eating, it’s about doing everything
with a purpose.
One that would ignite one’s being.
Life has not yet present me
of all the purposes of my
existence. But I am certain that
your are one of them.
You ignite me, you make me at odds
with my beliefs.
My whole being in a constant entropy,
striving to be that person
worthy of the goodness of your soul.
So please, continue exciting me.
