The Prevalence of Gold and Love

Sherry Caayupan 1980 (Davao city)



Prevalence brings forth prosperity,
Of a melting pot placed into one;
Pieces of wishful dreams come into one entity,
A strong reality portrudes to be done;

A mixture of gold and love,
As binding pieces give forth a wish;
A wish that grants dreams beloved,
By all spirits in one plain dish;

A delight to one's content,
By far gives a climax of pleasance;
Savoured by all men near or distant,
In a place ever since the time of renaissance;

A melting pot emerges from time to time infinite,
Brings forth a boundless exuberance;
Vested from a fortress of time split,
Every bit of hope stands a chance;

A tear of unmelancholy,
Cherished under the forgiving rain;
Fallen from one's eyes sweet,
Of gold and love held by heart tamed.
