“Night”

By: Joseph O. Legaspi –

When in love I melt into yellow,

blend in with every light to become

the most luminous apparition.

You’ve come disguised, hair

upswept, eyes two shades

murkier than petroleum,

a face I’ve never seen but know

in-the-gut-of-me, I seem born

from it, but in mirroring honesty

I often fancy you

are someone else, I prefer

this, realizing how lacking

you are, I can be happy

with a stranger moon.
