Nahalata ko, medyo emo yata ang uso, so here’s my second post, an attempt to write a semi-erotic poetry. I wrote this in answer to sexy-tin’s “Forever”.
When I was little, I resolved–when I fall in love, it must be once
All of me am hers; all the girls is she
Destiny seemed friendly; I simply found my dear, my one-and-only
Then we faced the altar and lived a life half-happily-ever-after
In the midst of a month when flowers love to bloom
A girl crossed my path; an angel, I presume
A girl of smiles; a girl full of babbles
A girl with sunshine on her shoulders
Days become short-lived; nights appear protracted.
Prayers are unanswered; logic, impotent.
My heart aches the pains of another lovely woman
But my heart, I’m sure, belongs truly to this one.
The room is cozy; the feeling, serene
Here, a second is eternity; here, I am in peace
Damnation may visit me tonight; but I no longer care
I am now in paradise with a goddess by my side
Here, on top of me is a raging harlot
Here, I am wrapped in the warmth of lust
Here, I am Cupid in the arms of Psyche
Here, I no longer care if the wife sleeps lonely
Now, often I wonder–am I bound to dream forever?
Now, often I ask–have I sinned a mortal one?
Now, often I pray for forgiveness—please let me start again
Now, often I blame myself–why I fell in love again.
