“Mechanical Romance”

By Henjie Mirasol

As an artist and a technical person, I came to the stage of my life that I met someone that showed me to
be a love for others, so love will come back to us. Our body and soul will surpass everything ahead of us
if we put love and devotion to our work, to our family, and to our friends. One way of getting everything
done is to put romance onto it. I had wrote a poem that shows the understanding and balance in our
relationship. This poem “Mechanical Romance” where it is a concept of getting the--, or having the--glint
of my personal being or character, and the way I used to love her:

“My head down until the dawn, and I heard my heart just pumped down. I bought a piston from
someone I know as a clown. I fired it up and notice sun is up. Darling you came to me outside the grill,
bring me a meal but still a deal. So pretty dear understand this clear, I finished the last gear for you dear.
All the years I tried but to you it’s so clear. How I wanted to share to you the pain I wear, but to accept
life lighter than the feather, so we can be happy and live long life like no other.
