Since

It was under the mango tree

Where I first saw the beauty of thee;

You sat there and, with eyes closed, you sang

It was all witchery while your voice, in the park, rang.

I needed to know your name,

I ached to give you the upper hand in the game.

I wanted to run and ask how you did

Melt all my barriers and get me acting like a kid.

After all these years, I still go back

To the same place and trace the track

Where your magnificence bought my sanity

And your love held my heart in willing captivity.

You showed me the magic of music

Made by two hearts beating together in acoustic.

You are the violin, I am the piano

Together, we are the perfect combo.

It was always the smile in your eyes

And the love that never lies

That made you and I a harmony

And would surely transcend immortality. 

Sometimes, I ask myself where do I get these themes and words for my poems. So when people ask me how do I come up with such poems, I can't answer. I tell them cliches such as, "write from the heart," "let it flow," or "let your mind speak." Now, I think these poems are really from people's stories and experiences. When your reader say that you touch their lives, they tell you stories. And these stories are fueled by emotions. These emotions become your inspiration and your reason for writing.
