Beyond The Petty Things Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

Beyond the words I use, there’s
the emotion that says that I am insanely in love with you.
I may not be able to express the deepness of how I feel but
I really greatly care.
I want to do anything that
will give you enormous joy.


Beyond my imperfection, there’s
the heart that wanted everything to fall perfectly in your path.
Little misunderstanding will not become Everest, for
love sees beyond the physical appearances and actions.
not concerned if white hair comes,
or the few wrinkle lines.
Real love is not demanding… love is accepting…


There’s no need for you to master how to arrange things well,
how not to clutter things in the room, for
love doesn’t mind those clutters…
love isn’t angered by unwashed laundry, burned food or undone dishes…
so no worries about those, for
I love you beyond this physical universe.
