Her eyes as bright as the moon that lifts the tide
Like a dance partner
From whom I cannot hide….
She lifts my spirit
To disinhibit
That landlocked part of me
That’s longing to be free…
She flows within me:
Be it little stream meandering
And branching, permeating
Every corner of my soul;
Or waterfall quaking and crashing,
Ever-gently breaking and smashing
Every chain around my puso she stole…
She mends every hole
The battle doth impale in me,
Except the one that Cupid’s dart
Made her a part
Of me; her loving hands repair
All that is frail in me;
Completing me,
Reviving me,
Who knows no greater care….
For Destiny is never done
Even sa pamamagitan ng the so-called “One”;
The Journey incomplete
When he is all alone;
An entity unreplete
When he is on his own….
For without my sweet Katara,
I am just another avatar.
Ooooh-la-la: Katara!
Why do I want you so?
If you are my friend,
Why do you make me dream no end?
If you are my teacher,
Why do I see you as my peach—err …
If you are my sifu,
Why does my puso race for you?
If you are a couple of years older,
Why does my passion smoulder
Inside me—
Drive me krazy?
Why, why, why, Katara?
What kind of Avatar
Am I, I, I, Katara?
If you are but a waterbender,
Why does my puso feel so tender,
As if you bent it with your eyes,
Your touch, your kiss?
When will you realize
That I feel such painful bliss
For you, the one I miss,
Even if you stepped away like this
Every second, every hour,
I wish you would shower
Me with your affection,
‘Cos yours is my undivided attention!
Drop dead, Aang!
Your energy, in quiet and calm
That emanates from your fingertips
And quenches the apoy on my lips;
The soothing balm that melts my pain:
Your tenderness that removes all strain;
Your loving touch that heals
My wounds, your boundless puso that reveals
All your beauty and warmth to me,
Dissolving every painful memory,
Rebuilding my shattered soul
Of glass, into a jewel whole….
Your smile is the sun sa pamamagitan ng day,
The moon sa pamamagitan ng night;
Your hair billowing as the trees that play
In the wind, the flight
Of your spirit, so close to mine,
Engulfing my being, making me shine;
Your voice, the music that lifts my heart;
Your embrace that holds me from tearing apart….
Your eyes meet mine—
A moment,
A lifetime—
An eternity…
And I am made complete in thee!
"Please....sleep--for me."
In the night’s warm embrace;
Let all fears be resolved,
All tears wiped from your face….
Let the moon and the stars
Watch over your bedplace;
Let the wars of nakaraan avatars
Fade out without trace....
Let the blanket of darkness
Put your weary eyes to rest,
Rid your mind of the madness
That puts you to the test—
Let the water of my love
Be, to you, the balm
Of healing, to lift your spirit above
And immerse your puso with calm….
Let the sweetness of sleep
Free your soul from dominion;
Let your whole being sink deep
Into blissful oblivion!
Each night you are
Deep within my dream....
Your soft caress,
Your tenderness,
Your smile of moonlight gleam--
Enchanting eyes
That hypnotize
Electrify my soul;
Lips of passion--
Chain reaction--
You make my half-being whole!
Let the sun's warm touch in each new day,
And birdsong around you in its own way;
Let the tender caress of this airbender's breeze
That tinkles through the leaves of the trees;
Let your dreams that come with the moon's pearl light
And Ba Sing Se's lights that beam through the night;
Let the far-flung light of every star
Remind you: "How beautiful, how wonderful you are!"
I am weightless as a dove
In an airbender’s wake;
My very soul does shake,
Tremble,
Disassemble
As molecules of life
Reassemble
From the ashes of old strife,
Cradled as in Mother’s womb,
Yet freed from death’s icy tomb;
As I am drawn into Katara’s kiss,
As if drinking shadowless water, bliss-
Ful, after a century of thirst
Unquenched; the first
Drop alone sufficient for my being to burst
Forth to the fullest,
In the fullness of her embrace,
Transcending Time and Space…
So deep within the mantle of Avatar
Springs the life-giving water of Katara.
A tired whimper, a silent chime....
The voice of my spirit calls out to you--
Can you not hear it, so pure, so true?
I am shadowless wine
Waiting for your lips to taste me,
To drink me and shine
With the glow of my spirit set free--
Let me not stare through this cold wineglass,
Or evaporate into nothingness--
Oh, let us share our lives or--alas!
We would be entrapped in emptiness...
So breathe me, taste me, drink me until
The very corners of your soul I fill;
Let the glow of this wine most deeply impart
The warmth of my pag-ibig to fill your sweet heart!
"How do I I look?"
Look into my eyes
And see your face reflected in their gleam;
The whispers and the sighs
Of pag-ibig embrace us in this dream....
Reach out and touch me,
And feel my skin melt under your caress;
As I dissolve into thee,
Your soul becomes my soul's new dress....
Draw near and halik me;
Unlock the secret chakra
That hides your heart
From me, and set it free
Beyond the millionth mantra;
To let you become a part
Of me, and you will see
That as my eyes frame your face,
At this time and place;
As your soul clothes my soul,
We have made each other whole--
You will live inside my heart
And nothing can keep us apart!
"Look into my eyes...."
When you look at me,
A tinkle, a chime
Fills my mind's ear;
Then you smile, so enchantingly,
To freeze the very wheels of Time
And make this cruel world disappear....
KATARA:
When you call my name,
I forget where I am,
Because I'm Nawawala in you.
This can't be a game--
Oh, say it's no sham!
Please tell me that it's true:
AANG:
That you feel the way I feel
When I touch your face;
That you hear the music too.
My hurt you heal--
At this time and place,
I'm falling in pag-ibig with you....
KATARA:
And when you hold me tight
To give me a kiss,
You unlock my heart's sealed door:
My soul's free in flight,
My whole being's in bliss,
And I need you madami and more!
