Sweet Distraction

Isinulat ni Jill Duarte (STIMULI 2nd Sem 2012-2013)

I

I longed to write something worthwhile
Yet grasping of words had been hard and I just sighed.
My mind dwells elsewhere,
As my heart had been to somewhere.

II

In my thoughts you had been
Like an irresistible advertisement,
In my tranquil mind you've been
Effortless in stealing moments.

III

You're my charming and sweetest distraction,
Somehow that made me grin
And leads me
Into more than just an attraction.

IV

I could actually just appreciate you as you
And to me that's not vague,
Because in your emergence,
I just found a faience.

V

Many times you had said,
Blunt words you had uttered.
No matter how much I wanted to wreck your neck,
I would still love to hug you instead and just shrink.

VI

I'm a hardheaded gal,
Well, it seems like you're going to tame me, pal.
I'm not a typical sweet girl I used to be,
But it seems like you'll omit the inhibitions in me.

VII

I love your unknown scent
That let me know you're just around and present
I easily miss your voice,
That could garner lots of smiles and noise.

VIII

In your absence,
I could be damn missing your presence.
Who could have thought I could be this jealous,
In things not that enormous.

IX

But I still longed to thank you anyway,
For making me feel this way.
And to thank God.
For having you in all odds.
