Love Poem Story

Why should I write poems

of love, emotions and romance

when my mind always melts

every time I see a chance.

Yet my pen aches to write verses,

metaphors of longing and stolen glances.

And as I guide these stubborn hands,

I discover secret wonderlands.

For each word and every rhyme,

brings me back to this certain time

when long Caloocan bus rides are opportunities

for random stories and a mind-blowing kiss.

And as I compose the poem's every single line,

I miss you and me drinking the red wine.

Those amazing nights that we share

that no simile can ever compare.

Symbols. Patterns and Rhymes.

Joys. Tears but no GoodByes.

Though, unlike any kind of poetry,

nothing is sweeter than our love story.
