Tongkat

By: Rionel “2tet” Belen Caldo

It’s all in you

A jailing deja vu

Eternal beauty is cue

Grace has no due

Intelligence at its best

Patience is to zest

Kindness has no rest

Sweetness on the nest

Hair so perfectly arranged

Seducing eyes has no range

Pointed nose is to page

Kissable lips of sage

Versatile lavender artist

Singing voice of praying mantis

Background of happy bees

Smile at brilliant name mist

To touch is to tease thee

To feel is to steal key

To dance is a panoramic view

To embrace is a dream adieu

To kiss you is shooting star’s glee

To experience you is heaven’s knee

No matter how prayers are hardened

Love’s heart will never be softened

For it belongs to somebody’s crowded oven

Sooner, it will take vows at God’s ordain

Everyday is a taste of wounded lying art

Wishing an early life’s end to start

Gearing towards a wonderful next life

To know about love, I used to knife

An era that I can be with my dearest love

A hope of having my first and last dove
