To Mary Ann Of Kalinga Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

Mary Ann, you're beauty is so serene
like the tenderness of a golden flower
Blooming upon sunlight's beam
With scents so sweet to uncover.

A face so young and full of beauty
Embroidered with a mystic power
That entangled my eye to convey
First love upon our first encounter.

River and seas may cease to exist
With mankind's endless desire
To destroy and exploit her beauty
But never thy love for it's full of fire.

You captured my only soul's glory
For you're the apple of my eye
That keep my soul alive everyday
While longing your tender smile.

A man like me could never resist
To behold your angelic face
Enthroned upon a kissable lips
With a smile so sweet as grapes.

No matter what the world would say
I proclaim that I love to adore thee
With a love that flows fervently
Within every breath that I see.

Not even the strongest can ever be
Stronger that what I felt for thee
The first time I set my eyes to see
That magic of your smile for me.
