To My Febelyn Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

TO MY FEBELYN
melvin banggollay


F-ar from the hinterland of Ifugao
where the great terraces reign
hails a woman filled with awe
by the name of sweet FEBELYN

E-yes so tender and truly serene
upon a face of angelic gain
whose smiles from this queen
captured my heart to love again.

B-eauty of her charm I have seen
radiates tenderness that claims
power to heal heart that had been
in the den of sorrows and pain.

E-veytime I dreamt of her sweet smile
I behold a love that reaches a mile
and I can not deny nor even truly lie
I loved this woman with all my desire.

L-ove comes deep inside my heart
when I set my eyes to her at the start
and every time she text me all night
I felt I was truly her shining knight.

Y-ou may be far my dear Febelyn
but your breath I hear in my dream
echoing deep inside with all art
for youlived inside this loving heart.

N-o other love subdues me this way
to think of you all night and day
sharing me sleepless night as I see
your beauty when I first met thee.

dedicated to Febelyn Lagare of Tinoc, ifugao
whom I met at Kalinga when I was their speaker
in an enterprise development workshop.
