milleniun madness

By: francis b magbanua

The countdown continues…

At the count of two, I paused to ponder
My heart beats slowly yet pumps heavier
As I retrace my warm thoughts of you
A picture of love, pure as white, is all I view.

ONE!

Just a matter of microseconds on the clock
I saw myself, in love, four years back
It’s been a while yet it was just yesterday
When my life was captivated by this dear lady.

Clock ticks to zero, opening a new millennium
The passion just heated up, growing huge as dome
My resolution, I’ll love her the more, constantly
My promise of life, from now until eternity.
