“I’ll be looking at the moon, but I’ll be seeing you,” Irving Kahal

What are you doing this evening?

Tonight she thinks of him, alone,
Beneath the moon’s soft silver tone.
Her heart a quiet, steady beat,
In rhythm with the stars’ retreat.

She wonders if he feels the same,
If whispers call him by her name.
Does he, like her, lie wide awake,
With thoughts of love he cannot shake?

The night is still, but in her mind
His voice, his touch, she seeks to find.
Across the miles, through dreams, she’s sure,
Their love remains, unseen, yet pure.

In every sigh, in every star,
She feels his presence from afar.
And though the night may stretch so wide,
Her love, tonight, stays by his side.

And We Waltz the Blues

If only I could touch Your Face

Oh, I so long.

I too ache

To see the grandest Garden

In Your Eyes:

For that Divinity to shine on me,

Showing me the grandeur

Of all the angels in Heaven

Playing a symphony

For our daughter-and-Dad dance–

I have been waiting my whole life through.

. . . seeing the sun in your Velvety Robe

And me in a pink dress

Laced with different colors of Hibiscus

And all the flowers of aloha.

Oh, I so long to see

The grandest Garden

In Your Eyes

For that Divinity to shine on me, Father;

The grandeur of seeing You,

Tenderly holding my hand on the right,

And safely resting on my back on the left. . .

Kindly smiling,

Gently guiding,

Sweetly letting my graceful turn. . .

And we waltz my blues.

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!
