RITUAL
By Jelaine Macaraeg
I touch her face
And stare deep into her loving eyes
I stroke her hair
And kiss her forehead
Then stare into her eyes again
I run a finger or two down her cheek
And she smiles at me
I just stare into her eyes again
She asks me what I am thinking
And I kiss her soft lips
And then I tell her, “I love you forever.”
But then because there is no forever,
I’ll just love her until I could keep her
And I’ll do this ritual over and over
And just love her until I could keep her…
THE CLICHÉ OF FALLING
By Jelaine Macaraeg
She came into my life without a warning
It was as if I just woke up from a long, deep slumber
And when I opened my eyes, she was already there
She broke the silence of my heart,
and the stillness of its beating
She interrupted my thoughts
For a while there I was lost
And I just have to ask myself,
“What am I thinking?”
She has indeed caught me off guard
She took my breath away
and swept me off my feet
She made me hear magical bells
and see sparks and fireworks all over
I’ve read and heard of these experiences before
But it was only now that I found them to be true
Now I know why they are called clichés
For they are real and true
‘Cause when you meet that special someone
You’ll never really know…
But they could just happen to you too…
FOREVER STARTS NOW
By Jelaine Macaraeg
What is forever?
A second
A minute
An hour
A day
A week
A month
A year
A decade
A century
A lifetime
What is forever?
Everytime I glance at her while she eats
Everytime I watch her sleep at night
Everytime she smiles at me when our eyes meet
Everytime she cracks a joke
Everytime she laughs with me
Everytime she listens to my story
Everytime she tells me how her day was
Everytime we make future plans over coffee
Everytime she says, “I love you.”
That is forever
for me.
WAVELENGTHS
By Jelaine Macaraeg
How many people do you meet everyday
who likes the same things as you do,
thinks the way you do,
and speaks the same language as you?
How many people have you met recently
whose sentences you can finish,
whose thoughts you can explain,
and whose feelings you can draw out from them?
How many people can you love in a lifetime
whose concept of love matches yours,
thinks of relationships the same way you do,
and can love as much as you do?
How many people are as lucky as I am
to have met someone like her?
To have loved and be loved by a woman
who is of the same wavelength as I am…
PAIN
By Jelaine Macaraeg
She shuts me out.
She wants me out.
She doesn’t hear me out.
I wait and wait.
Subside now, hate.
Before it’s all too late.
Pain and Rejection.
Such strong emotions.
Such stinging sensations.
I cry and cry.
And then I sigh.
Still all my pain inside…
A TRIP TO THE MOON
By Jelaine Macaraeg
My honey sent me to the moon for free
Without a plane, nor craft, nor wings
And there was I, up in the heavens
With all its glory for me to see…
My honey sent me to the moon for free
How wonderful the Earth looks from here
With all the planets and the stars in Milkyway
Running wild and playing with me…
My honey sent me to the moon for free
And as I go back to Earth I see
And awe at the beauty of the skies and the sea
And touch the clouds so soft beneath…
My honey sent me to the moon for free
And as I close my eyes and feel her inside me
What a heavenly feeling it is for me
My honey, she just made love to me…
MONDAYS
By Jelaine Macaraeg
The clock says six
I open my eyes and there she is
Sleeping
I wake her up with a kiss
She open her eyes and there she is
Smiling
Morning rituals
Sharing breakfast as usual
Waiting while she’s bathing
Watching her dress up
Seven thirty
Time to leave
Work is waiting
I send her off
With “I love you” and a kiss
And as I go back into our room
I catch the scent of her perfume
I smile
The emotion is overwhelming
I can never be so grateful for this life
She’s my reason for opening my eyes
This beautiful Monday morning…
INSATIABLE DESIRES
By Jelaine Macaraeg
More than hands touching
More than lips kissing
More than two bodies feeling each other’s warmth
Sweet and special
Our souls making vows of immortal love and unspoken promises
Our hearts defining forever in present time;
The here and the now, while sharing the coldness of the night
Reaching out and holding tight
Not wanting to ever let go
We’re both giving to and wanting each other
Giving more and wanting more
Insatiable desire…
That’s what it is
An insatiable desire to have and to hold
More than just now, but forever…
It’s our love defined at last;
Well-expressed by our bodies and our souls
Understood by our hearts and our minds…
Our insatiable desires…
PROLOGUE TO LOVE
By Jelaine Macaraeg
Coming to and from a hopeless situation
A heroine comes to save me
Releasing me from years of self-delusion
Melting away my chain of desperation
Enlightened, I took my heroine’s hand
Leaving the darkness of anguish behind
“At last, I’m free!” I proudly said
And I was never the same again…
Love then came quite unexpectedly
Charming and sweet, I fell for my heroine
And as I was reaching out for her, I held her tight
“Nothing can stop me now,” I cried
Taking her hand, I then decided
Another love and life has started
Risky as it was, I took a chance
And I was never the same ever again…
STUBBORN
By Jelaine Macaraeg
Bad Girl meets Control Freak
Making a big deal
Out of the littlest things
Do’s and Don’ts
Choking me
Still, I end up following
Who is right?
Who is wrong?
One wanting to change the other
The other resisting to be changed
Who is hardheaded?
Who is stubborn?
Maybe she is
Maybe I am
Then again,
Maybe we’re both…
