Have I told you, Maria?
You’ve built a man with strength and hope
Here next to you, beside your *****
He stared, he dreamed while your skies float

The smiles I make, the tears I hold
The tree I am is from your seeds of gold
Years and years, yet I can still recall
How your happy tunes fed my soul
A poem for a commissioned painting about Maria Makiling

No rush, not in a hurry
Yet, can someone eat her brain spaghetti?
Would someone decode? Her feelings left untold?
I’m tired, I’m worn out, I’m weary
We’re not even on the same page,  honey!

A new slant to my scene
Yet like trailer for a film
Looks exciting, I ween
A fool for you, my queen!

Words flow from bags to brows
It varies per soul, so I need to know
I need to read or try even so
Folks know, it’ll give me something extra
A blaring swift heartbeat extravaganza
Great then! while listening Poliça
Kinda thinking, black or mocha?

Will you get in?
And grant a scheming brew of philosophical turmoil?
Mind’s dull, dried leaves on your dried soil
I need to think, we need to talk!
Plus, can we walk while I devour?
Your sweet strong scent that lights my core
Tita Halaman Sep 2020
Pause! Hold on!
My queen, my rook
My horse, my pawn
I need to think before the dawn
Go light my stick, go play a song!
Tita Halaman Aug 2020
Well, It depends, honey!
Stretching limits, swilling coffee
Sniffing books, feeling lonely
You’ll hear it soon, don’t you worry!
