Written by Marielle Iarathelle A. Trinidad

Fiddling with my pens, papers, and words

Heart filled with unending thoughts

The impossible, the irrational, different worlds

While trying to untangle the complex bound knot

The cruel reality made me run out of places

Yet even my mind is one scary place too

But every time the ink fills up the pages

It feels like there’s nothing I can’t do

Sanctuary of the dumb and the smart

The fortress of the distressed ever since

Home, that’s what you are, more than an art

The answer to every why’s of my existence

Every stroke and curve, every single line

Encompassed my fantasies and reality

All letters and words would lead to mine

To my only dream and maybe even yours,

Thank you for being the love I’d never lose

You’ll always be our heaven, our dear calli
