Poetry: Coffee Shop by Ma. Clarissa Malig-on

Coffee Shop

by Ma. Clarissa Malig-on

As I walk into the coffee shop

I search for your eyes, hoping to finally meet you

A look both new and familiar

As if I’ve known you for a long time

The contours of your face

Will stir my heart and daze

The one from my childhood fantasy

One who will satisfy my lifelong dreams

Whose aura will make my body flutter

And touch will make my bones forget how to function

Blood will rush to thy cheeks

As your eyes focus on me

Whose movementscreated

Will make my body want to harmonize with

A person who shall know

The shadowed part of my heart

You will listen intently

Listen until I run out of ideas to say

Then silence, without words

But presence still affects the core existence

As I walk into the coffee shop

Stories are waiting to be told

Old souls longing to be rejoined

By this privileged lifetime

A connection that is both spiritual and carnal

Hands that are like puzzle pieces

Fitting together as if the world

Could not separate our joined portions

Each other’s windows of the soul

Shall take us to the universe
