I Was Beguilled Poem by Jessie Clarete Bernabe Cadsawan

For Jessie

Over the miles, the wind whispered my name
A sparkle of love, after long waiting in vain
Was it real, or did I, just imagine it so
Was it true, through the mist, it was starting to grow
in my heart, filling holes, that were caused long ago

I wished it could happen, but then what would I do
With the one that I had, that now, was not “you”
Glimpses of her, her bright beckoning smile
Flitted over the screen of my memories, while
I tried to regain my balance and style
from the sweet taste of Jessie, across all those miles.

This is my lady's reply to the poems created for my lover..

Some moments in time I have given up
Surrendered myself soul searching heart
Worthless and feeling tired I lay my cards
Up side down and forget my sweet sight.

Lonely and sad, I need to be warmth at night
Sweet kisses for my dried lips to softly touch
And bring me to sensations and ignite my light
Wake up my senses of almost forgotten delight.

Disgraced by the rubbish that there surrounds
A sweet, calm and kind face caught my heart
Hard pumps and voltage of I don’t know what
Blocked and stopped my fading dream that night.

It was an awakening touch of silent words
Sweet and flattering, I see a comet to rush
Down from heavens perhaps, you make my life
Rebuild the fall and patch this colorless life.


Could this be a dream I won’t wake up
I’ll stay eye closed and feel your love
Your thoughts and your self haunts much
As much and brilliant as you I was beguiled.
