When Tears Touch--A Collab With Olive Eloisa Guillermo

WHEN TEARS TOUCH The twelfth of November reminds me of the day When our paths first crossed then came to grow on trail. Soon... all the days like waves rolled into years As we reminisce our pasts: joys and tears for fears. A pad with pen I hold to write what pops by; Each tint and curve a bell that says, you and I. The words are mere push and pull medley of thoughts Shaping a circle melody of heart shots. Learnings flower our way as our cultures shared; Gem writings topically crafted are compared. Feelings flood colours to our world, closer we became-- Creeping longing is "our meeting" as this both our aim Beep and peek are lace ladders to higher trust grounds Every tap and trade a thread fortifying our bond The lasso tying our heartstrings to etch some rhymes Vital signs checked normal but awhile raise second hands Can it be that this a fruit of stardust's grand wand? Or a rose waiting to bloom and behold upon bosoms? Now the day has arrived, suitcases packed, I smile. A journey, I have dreamt about, many many miles. Nervousness cocoons but it's normal to feel this; For this my long wish as I enter the coming hours. Distance and differences our silent enemies! But... It did not stop us from thinking sound strategies. Interest and love gleams as our loyal company; Enabling us to draw verses of harmony. Broken bridges we cross by grace of felicity~ Yearning to meet eye-to-eye an intensity Along the wires we jibe to friendly deal That as crisp December sings we will make it real. The cool December made our wanting a tip-top exhilarate.. and from somewhere, a song plays: "When you feel in your skin in your bones and the hollow Of your heart, there's no way you can wait till tomorrow. When there isn't any doubt about it once you come this close Cos you know and you know that you know...." _____________________________________________________________ *** the last stanza are lines taken from the song: "WHEN YOU KNOW" by Shawn Colvin from the movie Serendipity. © J.
