Ail With You

Photo courtesy of deviantART

As I look unto your lovely face,
and listen to your golden voice;
Trembling is my unrestrained action,
and shaking is my uncontrolled motion.

As I look at your twinkling eyes,
and imagine your fairyness;
In the highest star there I lie,
and the snowy clouds passing in the sight.

As I sing the lovely songs,
and with you as my inspiration;
Problems would go away,
and happiness is on the way.

As I loved you with my whole heart,
and carry you in a joyful park;
My love for you will be the last,
and the memories will be our past.

Background: 20May1997 @ near midnight, this is the first poem I had ever made while working at Baguio Concorde hotel, inspired by Rutchie, a lady from the neighborhood.
