Emotions

Asian Festival, February 21, 2013, Asian Social Institute, Malate, Manila

Some emotions are like this;
You may stand at the entrance of the door---
Waiting…
You may grin, you were dressed
And the table’s been set…
But it won’t guarantee you that all people coming
Would arrive to you ceremoniously…

Someone might just come along,
And then you felt so strange
And though you are confused,
You care not of having the name put into records or in pictures
You just knew that every bit of each moment---
Has been registered in the heart.

Indeed, some emotions are like that,
You could smile but then cry at the same time…
You laugh but you are anxious of tears…
But you still lived on,
Letting the door go through several opening and closing
And oh, there’s that glow in your eyes,
But you know there’s pain too…
So I guess, some emotions are really like this…
Some emotions are not fleeting.
Some emotions such as this, are undeniable.
