Beloved
The picture that you see above was created by Maysa Arabit, the very same person upon whom i based my character in the book. Within its pages you will find more of her sketches and Earl John Desuasido's as well.
I think this is one of my more surrealistic musings.  It came into being after i watched "Shakespeare in Love." Like so many who had watched the film, I was so inspired...
Metaphysical Kiss

How I relish saying your name!
(though you are not the one I
am currently addressing)�

How I savor the syllables sliding
against my tongue�that I
could almost taste the
sweet-cadences of the sound!

I speak your name and the very air
quivers upon my lips like a shy kiss
  fleetingly touching the shimmering edge
of a disappearing rainbow�

I whisper your name in the
mute-stillness and the stillness
begins to stir�

For, like a haunting tune,
it unceasingly sings, beating
like a hidden heart filled with
fiery life and unbearable delight�

The sound of your name slides down
the walls of my lonely room�
caressing each surface with passion
barely controlled, creeping
with stealthy, playful little steps�

ready to spring forth once again
from the smile secretly
hiding within my soul�

How I relish saying your name�
for it sounds like the smooth flowing
of jelled ink across expensive white paper�

or the whisper of a turning page
as it mates with the one
awaiting its sensuous fall�

Your name is the whisper of flowery scents
that sail on the creases of a silken night�

It is the shower of light poured out
by a knowing moon as it bathes
the stretched-out arms of naked trees�

Your name is the sigh of a lonely pebble
drowning in the dark depths
of a star-dappled pool�

whereat the bottom it finds a welcoming
bed of throbbing notes�
whereupon it retires to awaken before dawn�

I speak your name and it feels like
you are already here,
as though you were about to take me
into your embrace�

I say your name and it is your kiss
upon my waiting lips�

And for now, I am satisfied,
relishing the feel
of this metaphysical kiss�
