into the wild

for you, who has waited long enough, it is time to go - Batanes and Puero Prinsesa are both tourist spots in the Philippines

into the wild, by the road
my heart returned, from Batanes,
where you have been,
after you went to Puerto Prinsesa,
they tell me you told them
not to tell me where you have gone,
gone sleeping under the stars,
with the one you fell in love with,
only last night, but i wasn't moved
by all these, all these times,
i waited for my heart to be,
without you,in an equinox of mind,
everything in me gone,
is not for you to take anymore,
neither by anyone, i no longer long
for your words to tell me the words,
i get to hear, after i had listened
long and well, if only i had truly,
completely listened - to my heart

we need to let our heart move as it will...if we hold it back...we will miss out on so much...we often listen too completely to our logic...but happiness passes by when that happens..

but sometimes, the heart better know better than what it feels - maybe a balance between heart and mind will do - but the balance is hard to find - if it works, then let it work - thank you, jacob, for the lovely comment and visit

best to you,

Wonderful words and imagery, as always. I wrote a poem once with the same title but different from yours. The title caught me. Great job.

It is brilliant of you to illustrate heartbreak using symbolism: two of the most scenic spots of Luzon, which are distant from each other. Typo error on Puerto Princesa
