Like A Gold Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

An apple to my eyes

is your warm smile to me

Like a lovely melody

is your sweet words to me

Like the fresh air to my nostrils

is your every exhale

Like a stream in the desert is your love to me

Like the precious gold

is your inner beauty

it shines

brilliantly

and never get tainted

it remains pure

and rust cannot eat it.

And when I’m with you

I feel more than a billionaire

a moment with you

cannot be bought by a thousand gold bullion

it is more than owning the best diamond.

It feels like in paradise, a lovely haven

to be with you
