The Look Of Love Poem by Butch Decatoria

The Look of Love

Father has that look
On his face
I recognize it when he

Looks upon her face
Even when she rages at him
His stern furrow softens
Then a corner of a
Smile
She pauses then

Mirroring expressions
That look
Of love
Upon their faces
Sometimes silly fawning over
Overacting then a soft seriousness

Drown thoroughly
Reaffirm reminder kiss
Read their lips
"Mahal an mahal kita"

I don't doubt it
I know what Love is

The two are one
in love
(The romantic kind)
And I also know
We are imperfect
human
Beings
Perfectly existing, so

Don't lose sight
The look of love
For
The heart of life
Is love.
Alight.
