A Place for You



A Place for You

How can I have a place within you?
I honestly care about your tender ways
Thinking your protection every moment
Loving every details of your life

Understand whatever your past
Forgetting what lies around and behind you
I don't mind what others ‘r saying
Just give me a little room upon you

Waiting cannot last any longer
Because I will die early longing with you
Shortness of life is everlasting to me
If I had space in the kingdom of your heart

Where will I stay in the rest of my days?
To whom will I give my everlasting commitment?
If your heart is open only for a dot-sized
Will let me pass through a Place within and open widely to flow like a stream of Love inside you?

Herbert Guitang

I started making poems when I was in high school. Creativity and Imagination develop every poem I do. The level of our maturity in poetry brings us self happiness and soar us in all kinds of being and life. I studied Music Composition in University of the Philippines. Through this, it spreads more deepness and bliss to my art and poetry. I believe, INSPIRATION comes to all things within and outside us. INSPIRATION that unifies and serve as LIFE to our being.
