This Deep Thing

If you can measure
How big and deep the Pacific ocean is;
How big and deep the Arctic ocean is;
How big and deep the Indian ocean is;
The Southern,
The Mariana,
And the Atlantic,
And add their figures–
Add the ones that are yet to discover–
Add them altogether–
If you can,
If can
Then you probably know
How big and deep
Is my love for you. . .

But
No matter how your numbers sum up to;
No matter how doubts may deceive you
Baby,
Not all love remains this true!

I Love You All the Way

October 6, 2012September 16, 2018 AinaBalagtas9 Comments

With the entirety of my being:
from the innermost core of my heart;
to the very depth of my soul;
amidst dire barricades,
despite grand walls,
inspite of any given facts,
regardless of screaming differences,
notwithstanding what will come along,
be in hell or in high waters,
I love you.
I will always love you,
always, always will. . .

All the way.

I Can’t Smile Without You

September 28, 2012January 30, 2020 AinaBalagtas10 Comments

The air that I breathe;
The rainbow that brightens my day;
The summer breeze that warms my cheeks;
The dream that keeps me going;
The delight of my eyes;
The music of my soul;
The joy of my heart;
My loyal fan;
My best friend;
My faithful lover;
My fantasy;
My reality;
My life;
My everything,
Is YOU!
And that’s how big your role in my life!
Without you,
I can’t smile,
Neither, grin.
Without you,
Life has no meaning.
Without you,
I can’t go on living.

Loving You

September 26, 2012January 30, 2020 AinaBalagtas1 Comment

Morning,
Noon,
And night
I think of you;

Dreaming
Not just at night,
But in broad daylight too.

As I am really praying
For every good thing
We’ll share our whole “life” through.

Movies, with or without popcorn;
Walking, be along the beach,
At the mall, or busy streets;
Dining, in candlelights or “cheap eats;”
Cocktail, with or without *pupu,
I think, I am fine with those too.
Coz I just wanna be with you.

Though I have nothing grand to offer you,
My Boo,
Rest assured,
I will always be here for you,
Not just as a lover,
But your best friend too!

Being with you,
Is all I wanna do,
My Baby Boo,
I so love you!

*pupu (Hawaiian) means appetizer.

A Love To Last A Lifetime

September 24, 2012January 30, 2020 AinaBalagtas2 Comments

The feeling beyond completing an empty soul,
But fills inside and out.
The feeling beyond being valued,
But cherished so preciously.
The feeling beyond being respected,
But honored at all times.
The feeling beyond being hoped,
But prayed for so fervently.
The feeling beyond being adored,
But wanted unconditionally.
The feeling beyond being dreamed of,
But ached for so ardently.
To love
And be loved
Always and forever–
Aren’t the rudiments,
But the powers of love
That last a lifetime.
