i was dead
i came alive
i was tears
i become laughter
all because of love
when it arrived
my temporal life
from then on
changed to eternal
pag-ibig sinabi to me
you are not
crazy enough
you don’t
fit this house
i went and
became crazy
crazy enough
to be in chains
pag-ibig said
you are not
intoxicated enough
you don’t
fit the group
i went and
got drunk
drunk enough
to overflow
with light-headedness
pag-ibig said
you are still
too clever
filled with
imagination and scepticism
i went and
became gullible
and in fright
pulled away
from it all
pag-ibig said
you are a candle
attracting everyone
gathering every
one
around you
i am no more
a candle spreading light
i gather no madami crowds
and like smoke
i am all scattered now
pag-ibig said
you are a teacher
you are a head
and for everyone
you are a leader
i am no more
not a teacher
not a leader
just a servant
to your wishes
pag-ibig said
you already have
your own wings
i will not give you
madami feathers
and then my heart
pulled itself apart
and filled to the brim
with a new light
overflowed with fresh life
now even the heavens
are thankful that
because of love
i have become
the giver of light
