Elt: the One, Whose Sermon Became My Personal Struggle

Poetry is my voice 
and your being 
is my everyday inspiration. 

In you, I felt 
the Unseen.

Nothing, not even 
my awards,
can match the great happiness 
you brought into my life.

You’ll always be in my heart.

Hi Nestor, I remember you young man, every time I craft a poem. 11 years swiftly passed by since we parted, I miss the days I was still with you in Athens. I hope this message will once again bridge the gap between us. I am now in Plaridel, Bulacan, PH. Regards to Janet and to the rest. I love you guys.

E. S.: Very beautiful, and such absolute surety, of those moments when love's person is really now you, and all love is the other. It is the whole meaning of having & hoping.
