Ocean’s Blue: Part One Poem by Rey Benipayo

I never realized what love is
Until that night happened
It was a cold and rainy night,
And I was stranded in a terminal
With a mysterious beautiful woman,
A woman I think I’ve seen before.

My name is Rey, an assistant manager
At the famous mall in Legaspi
Ever since I was promoted then,
I live here for many years now
Renting a house near my work place,
Living by myself and faithful to my job

Tomorrow is my day off
And I decided to visit my hometown
But I was late for the last bus
Then I saw this beautiful woman
Depress, cold and alone,
Waiting for the next bus to come

It was already late at night
Still hoping for another bus to come
But nothing came, the terminal is closing
I care for this woman; it feels like I know her
I am thinking to go home
And leave tomorrow before dawn.

So I approach her, tell her that it’s closing
She holds my hand tightly and stares at me
She never speak just looking at me
I hold her hands and we began to walk
When we get to my house, we’re already wet
I never expect it will happened

I closed the door and suddenly,
I feel her lips touching mine
I hesitate at first but she never stop
My heart keeps pumping so fast
Her left hand travel below my waist
Then the heats soon arise!

The night turned insane as the heat goes on
I became the prisoner of her flesh,
A victim of her untamed beauty
I don’t know who she is, where she’s from
But my mind keeps telling me
We already meet long time ago

The morning comes, I woke up
She’s gone by my side, leaving without a trace
I never go home that day, keep thinking of her
So I go to the terminal, search for her
Then wait for her until midnight
But she’s not there, she never come.

Days have passed and nothing happened
I went back to my own life
Still keep searching and waiting for her
Until I open my high school yearbook,
I found her, her name is Cara
She’s my classmate back then.

On my day off I visit my hometown
Hoping to meet her again
I failed; she’s no longer live there
Her neighbor gave me her new address,
She now live in Virac, Catanduanes
So I decided to use my vacation leave.
