A POEM FOR YOU

This is a poem
supposedly made for you.
You seem to be unaware
so I thought through this
I could let you know.

Having you near me
is like having a glass of chilled Coke
after a day’s hike to the Agtawagon.
Or like Rafael’s saying,
“What a relief” when he enters
an air-conditioned room.

Being so close to you
makes me crave for a serving of
halo-halo.
It stirs me to write poems
as crazy as Leticia.

So you see the magic,
or the enchantment (whichever you prefer)
your presence can conjure…
But for sure,
you’ve awaken the creative in me
so that I found a way
to tell you that you mean more to me,
Fairy ko!
