They Asked Me For Verses Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

THEY ASKED ME FOR VERSES
Melvin Banggollay


They asked me for verses
In a wedding ceremony
weaved with joyful masses
attended by friends company
but my tongue was at a mess
trembling without tranquility
sealing my mouth to profess
my heart's joy with a melody.


I hold my breath with serenity
As I tried to picture what to say
then after a moment of delay
My tongue begun to display
my passionate charm of poetry
as I felt my blood runs profusely
into my brain forcing me to say
Hello everybody, have a nice day.

Deep in my heart, I am unworthy
To give you verses in poetry
Wisdom's you want to hear today
For I am not a poet as you see
Nor my lovelife worth to portray,
Just as everyone knew by history
I got no name to speak honorably
As am denied of a perfect family.

Modesty aside, dear man and lady
As you take the vow of your destiny
Love one another in shared harmony
Never look no other love's beauty
let your passion grow each day
As you nurture your nest with loyalty
shower with love, respect and dignity
sharing together building a family.
