Love is...

When I was asked, 'what is love'? I abruptly said, 'Love is..' without finishing, I was silenced. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko durugtungan o paano ko sasagutin. Because love comes at many ways. And the way how I give definition to it, may be different to how others may understand.

Basta ang alam ko, we may give definition to love base on how we experience it. Para sa mga taong nagmamahal at naghihintay ng kapalit, love is conditional. Para sa mga taong nagmamahal nang walang hinihinging kapalit, for them, love is unconditional.

For those men who love guys, and those women who love girls, for them, love knows no gender.

Gano'n nga siguro yung love, binibigyan natin ng definition base sa pinagdaanan natin o sa kung anong ipinaranas satin nito.

Para naman sa mga pedophile, love is lust. On the other hand, sa mga nagmahal ng mas bata o mas matanda sa kanila, love knows no age.

For those who were pierced by cupid's arrow, o sa mga taong tinamaan ng pag-ibig sa taong hindi naman ganoon kagwapo o kaganda sa societal standards, para sa kanila, love is blind.

Sa mga hindi sinwerte, o di nasuklian yung pagmamahal, love is a headache. Sabi pa nga ng iba, masarap pa ang buhay single because love is fucked up.

Sa mga taong nagmamahal without even knowing why, love is an indescribable feeling.

When holding on to a person full of flaws and imperfections, love is acceptance.

How mystifying love is. Napakaraming definition. Nakakahilo, nakakalito, nakakabaliw isipin kung anong totoo. Hindi mo na alam ang tama. Pagmamahal 'yan eh, minsan nga hindi mo na alam ang dahilan kung bakit. Ang alam mo lang, nagmamahal ka.

Truly, love comes at many ways. (And then someone flicked off my ears and I suddenly lost my delusion)

"What is love?", he asked.
After a long defeaning silence, ano nga ba ang love para sa'kin?

'Love is...'
I finally uttered '...magical' (with happiness manifested on my eyes).

'Love is magical in a way that you can't even explain and understand the magic that, that holds.'

Indeed, love is limitless full of definitions.

And then I woke up in a fairy tale, living my ordinary single day.

Ruler of Mine

Ruler of Mine

By Jan Kevin T. Mendoza

Like a rose, trampled on the ground

My existing is as thing that is no longer worthy

The feeling of unwanted through my involvement

I feel like I’m complicated mixture of all malfeasances

“I will never put myself in a box”

Phrase always inculcated in my thinker

Just can’t layover limiting myself

Turned me out to be weaker

How to think out of the box?

I am not an open-hearted carrying the aftermath

Being without instrumental accompaniment

Why to cling and abide in my existence?

One day your eyes fell in my heart

It really freed the mirthfulness caged of mine

Where to go, what to do?

I had been deaf through the beats of my dinning heart

Stalking, should this enough what to call?

My gratitude to social medias

With these I can know you more

Provided your portraits, I loved you times to four

You are everyday awaited by my tantalized eyes

Just to seeing your physical comeliness

Pulchritude, which my perception can describe

Append your intelligence and brilliance, picture-perfect

The anticipated moment, we’ll talk

Came and made I can’t just walk

You displayed your smile and genuinely built my felicity

I was mesmerized through your jaw-dropping beauty

 The desire to have you utterly burdened me

Every night I think that you and I will be

But how my fantasy will transpire?

We are quietly distant, you’re in ice and I’m in fire

Multitude will be my foe and rival just to get you

Whether to fight or stop the incapable appetency

I want to cry out loud and let you hear my resentments

Will it capture your heart or just neglect my statements?

A dawn I woke up and had just accepted the fact

The fact that explains we are not really capable

My heart entered the tribulation

I can hide it but have nothing to stop the affliction

Now I moved on but still your number one fan

Your lovely and magnificent image, you’re really my the one

A breathtaking intelligence, made my heart missed a beat

Like I can’t just stop watching you at my seat

I thought my life is just a rose whose tend to be rotten

But you came, the change in my life made happen

Inspiration is now infused in all my undertaking

With you I feel like I can do everything

A billion thanks for your existence

I will be eternally keeper an image of your presence

You ruled my life to take the right path

I love you the one I will cling my life at
