+ To Lady Rosalva Poem by Jordan Legaspi

To Lady Rosalva


The moment I saw you
I thought it was Venus I saw
The goddess of love and beauty
Were gods and mortals adore thee

My eyes cannot believe it
In the center of the garden
A creature upon the golden leaves
Playing the hymn with the flowers

While grasses danced and swayed
Hypnotized by the voice beyond to compare
The charm that enchanted my ears
Of what vision that keeps me blind

I thought it was a dream
For a warrior who missed to sleep
Bur no it was a goddess and it’s true
The woman I love from long ago
