JUST LIKE THE GROUND AND THE SKIES

Just like the ground and the skies,
Is the love of my life and I.
She is extremely colorful and vibrant than the rainbow,
Unlike me who is dark with no hue nor luminosity.
She is a high class, noble from a royal family,
And I am an underground hustler with a family to provide for daily.

Just like the ground and the skies,
Is the love of my life and I.
We are directly proportional, yet like the unlike poles that repels,
We never see eye to eye, not even on facts proven by science.
We are distance apart at heart,
millions of kilometers to be exact.
She aggressively roars to my flirtings, scaring away my admirations,
And she floods my heart with dirty muddy words,
intending to carry away my emotions.

Just like the ground and the skies,
Is the love of my life and I.
She's nice to my friends and mean to me,
She adores having fun with them as if I am not worthy.
Yet I burn all my pride and suffocate with the smoke,
To be there for her,
To never make her shed tears that are not of joy.

Just like the ground and the skies,
Is the love of my life and I.
Even so,
I pray for her each and every day,
For her family and friends' safe stay.
I am praying for us,
That one day we'll realize having each other is a must.

Just like the ground and the skies,
Is the love of my life and I.
However I believe that one day in one of the days.
The love of my life and I,
Won't be like the ground and the sky.
The force of my unrequited true love,
will pull us closer,
And our love will be let loose to hover.
That very day!
When we make it through,
We will find a way to start anew.
Until then, my patience and hope will bridge this space,
To clear the path for that faithful day when we will be one by God's grace.

HOW I MET MY FUTURE WIFE

I bumped into a gentle figure,
Not realizing I had crossed paths with one of Eve's daughters,
Until she annonced her presence with a brief scream.
Turning to her,
I said, "I am sorry,
Are you hurt?"
Calmly, in a melodic voice,
She said, "It's okay,
Never mind, I am sorry."

It was at this moment that I read the sign,
Instantly realizing she was heavenly transported to my spot.
Thus, without wasting time,
I said, "Hey,
Please! Can I have a minute?"
She said, "No, why?
I already told you to never mind.
What do you want?"
I said,
"I need to tell you something."

She smiled and said, "I am sorry,
You're talking to the wrong person.
I know about everything from arts to science,
The world and I know about religions.
And now I know you'll start talking,
About how I look like I fell from heaven or space."
She said, "please excuse me,
I know about the Milky Way and the whole galaxy.
And for your information,
I know you planned this all along."

As she was about to leave,
I said,
"I don't doubt your intelligence,
But you didn't mention what I want to tell you.
Don't you want to hear it and add to your knowledge?"
She was puzzled as she stood still,
Gazing in my direction.
I smiled as I watched her face reaction.

You might know about arts,
But I bet you didn't know,
How your face is perfectly designed with the golden ratio.
I don't doubt you know science from what I am seeing,
But did you know the velocity ratio of my heartbeat's rhythm,
The kinetic energy when my blood pressure rises,
And the potassium energy calming it when your gaze struck me?
From your knowledge of the world and religion,
Could you see through my eyes this déjà-vu?

See, you can't possibly fall from heaven,
Because all the bad angels had already fallen.
There's no way you fell from space either,
Besides aliens' weird appearance that doesn't match your look.
It's only a wonderful mother who's able to nurture such a beauty like you.
And for your information,
I wish I planned this all along.
But thank you.
Now we can certainly plan the unplanned.

LETTER TO MY EX

Dear love,
I believe you can still recognize this handwriting.
It must have taken you back in time,
The day I handed you my heart in a piece of paper.
You had to open it when the time was right,
So nobody could interrupt the heart-to-heart message that night.

As I write this to you,
It also takes me back to that day,
The day I poured all my emotions onto a spotless sheet.
I wanted to write more than a page,
To show you my love can’t be expressed in just a few words.
But the same me wanted to write less,
To let you know I can’t find the words,
To describe my indescribable love for you.

I’m writing this to say what I never told you before.
I locked my heart with yours,
With my three most valuable things inside,
You,
our memories,
and my future plans for us,
All locked in my heart with yours.

I’m afraid I lost the keys,
And that’s why I’m writing this.
I can’t break the lock.
Because your heart is on the line,
And it’s yours that matters,
I don’t care about mine.

I didn’t say goodbye because I didn’t want to leave,
And I haven’t left.
I only gave us time to figure things out in life,
But now I realize we needed each other,
Because one is incomplete without the other.
