Travelogue: One Poem You Made in The Ocean

"When you look at all the beauty in the world, you instantly forgot the pain you carry." (Taken by Jessy Ismoyo, Samal Islands in Philippines, 2017)

Blue signs for two

There where I found you

I felt the wind was blowing

as my feeling was growing

After all I had been through

There was you

After I had been screwed

You became the clue

When I said too much adieu

You were the breakthrough

I asked you about the tattoo

You smiled and looked at me

I remember you told me:

"If only I could have you..."

We drank too much beers

And I turned to be a purple

You laughed and called me 'Ubee'

I smiled

Again

Because, man, you got my blood stopped in my veins

You know all happened that day was only for that day

We sat at the bay

You gave me your earphone and told me to listen to your song

I did not know it was love or alcohol

But I think I fall...

I fall...

Once and for all...
