The Beauty of Hygge

AinaBalagtas4 Comments
A warm, comfortable, serene atmosphere—hygge—that’s what it brings.

In candlelight’s soft golden glow,
A quiet warmth begins to grow.
A haven from the world’s loud din,
Where stillness calls and peace begins.

A knitted blanket, worn and frayed,
Becomes the shield where dreams are laid.
The steaming mug, a simple grace,
Transforms the soul, renews the pace.

No need for riches, grand displays,
For joy resides in humble ways—
The crackling fire, the book in hand,
The comfort shared in moments planned.

Hygge whispers, slow it down,
Let stress dissolve, let ease be found.
Embrace the now, the gentle air,
And find a healing nestled there.

The wonders bloom within the heart,
A balm that soothes life’s jagged parts.
In mindful peace, contentment sings,
Oh, how hygge restores and brings—

A love for life, a sacred glow,
A path of calm through winds that blow.
So light the lamp, and let it be,
A doorway to serenity.

Just So the World Knows

AinaBalagtasLeave a comment

If the world could know what’s in my heart,
How thoughts of you never depart,
They’d see the love I hold so true—
A love that lives and breathes for you.

You are the man of dreams untold,
My warmth, my light, my heart to hold.
With every smile, you fill my days,
And brighten life in countless ways.

I wish the world could hear me say
How much you mean to me each day.
That you’re my joy, my sweetest song,
The place my soul has yearned for long.

But words, they falter, fall too small—
How can they capture it all?
If skies could write or stars could speak,
They’d tell the love that makes me weak.

For you, my world, my everything,
I’d trade the winter for the spring.
If only all the world could see—
How deeply, wholly you are loved by me.

You are my sun, my moon, my sky,
The reason stars sparkle up high.
With every breath, my heart is clear—
You are my joy, my soul’s premier.

In you, I find my world complete,
A love so pure, so calm, so sweet.
When life feels heavy, dark, or gray,
Your smile alone lights up my day.

And though at times we’re far apart,
You’re still the rhythm of my heart.
Just thinking of you, I start to cry—
But these are tears that never lie.

For joy like this is rare and true,
And all my dreams begin with you.
In you, I’ve found what hearts aspire—
My everything, my soul’s desire.

My Dearest,

AinaBalagtas3 Comments

There isn’t a day that passes without the thought of you wrapping itself around my heart. The distance between us feels vast, like an endless ocean, but my love for you stretches across it, like a bridge of longing that defies the miles. I find myself constantly reaching for you in my quiet moments—when the world slows down and I’m left alone with my thoughts, it is your face that fills the silence.

I miss the way your eyes light up when you smile, the sound of your laughter that feels like the sweetest melody. The memory of your touch lingers on my skin, a gentle reminder of what I crave most—your presence. Sometimes I close my eyes and imagine that you’re here with me, that I can reach out and feel you, that I can breathe you in and let the world fall away.

There’s a part of me that feels incomplete without you, like a piece of my soul is missing, waiting to be made whole again. I long for the day when we can be together, when these letters will be a thing of the past, and I can speak these words to you in person, looking into your eyes and feeling your warmth against me.

Until that day comes, I’ll keep you close in my heart, holding onto the hope that we will be reunited. My love for you is a constant, unwavering force, and no amount of time or distance can diminish it.

Take care, my love. Know that I am with you in spirit, always.

Yours, now and forever

You Ought to Know

AinaBalagtas18 Comments

What does best means to you?
Is it something or anything that tickles your fancy?
A thing of beauty?
Or a head-turner that drives you crazy?

What does precious means to you?
Is it a hefty sum of money?
A mansion at Hamptons maybe?
Or a Bentley?

What does forever means to you?
Is it a career that assures your stability?
A recognition that validates your competency?
Or an accolade that could bring you to the heights of ecstasy?

Where do you rest your happiness?

I wish I know, so I can lead you there. . .
I wish I know, so I can give it to you. . .
I wish I know, so I can make you stay. . .
I wish I know, so I won’t see you hurting this way. . .

But if you really want to go,
I will let you do so.
But I think before you go,
You ought to know. . .

What best means to me,
Are “the laughter and tears”
We shed.

What precious means to me,
Is the love
You have given me.

And what forever means to me,
Is this love
I have for you.
For not even death,
Can take it away from me.

And what happiness means to me,
Is YOU
And ONLY YOU!
And not even death
Can stop me
From
Loving YOU!

Because of You

AinaBalagtas2 Comments
I was blind;
But then you came.
And then light soon followed.

From the sky so blue,

Mirroring the ocean too,

To the lushes of green and morning dew,

Then the beaming moon and bright stars too,

And the happy fireflies I dare not shoo-—

I see every beauty in this world

Because of you.

Strive to be a good human being if not better.

Do good deeds with no regrets.

Never hate.

Life is short;

Make it meaningful.

I So Do, Spring

I so think of you, Spring:

When winds are gentle as feathers

And the sun is mostly present.

I so think of you, Spring:

When woods are warming

And leaves are cool in green.

I so think of you, Spring:

When wilderness are humming,

And thick coats and heavy jackets are retiring.

Just so you know,

The blanket is not warm enough

To stop my longing for you, Spring.

If winter is a song,

Guaranteed, I’d fast forward it

Right after the very last firework.

Coz in Your Eyes

AinaBalagtas4 Comments








To just touch your face,

I so dream.



To be in your arms,

I so ache.



To hold your hand,

I so hope.



To wake up being in your chest still,

I so pray.



To live for what we have,

I so cherish.



Coz in your eyes

I so see forever;



And forever,

Love

will so see us through.
