Ding And Dong (/) Poem by Jordan Legaspi

Ding and Dong


...confused…

I was here
…you were there
I was there
…you were here
I smiled at you
…you stared at me
I look at you straight
…you confronted me
I asked you to listen
…you talked too much
I asked you to say something
…you bite your lips
I gave you something to eat
…you refused to receive
I gave you nothing
…you shouted at me
I stayed for a while
…you pay no heed
I finally left you
…you run after me.

…fallen…

We held hands together
…without words
We dream together
…of one day -a place for us
We took another step
…to go beyond our fear
We both feel the air
…another day to begin

…across time…

I was then -the lover lost in time
You were then-the face of no name
I was then- fallen
You were then- confused
Then we were prisoner to our selves
Now we are here and free
