You’re strong,
but sweet.
Very sweet!
You lift me up.
You make my heart beat fast…
You gave me sleepless nights.
They say you’re no good for me.
Thus I tried hard to avoid you,
against my will.
I succeeded!!!
But just briefly,
Because one day… that familiar scent,
Shattered the promise I made,
To never fall again under your addicting spell.
So down I went to the coffee shop,
Where I first met you.
I was excited oh C.M.,
To have my soul,
Enslaved again by your fullness…
Twisted by your sweetness.
There in the coffeehouse
I told the server
“C.M. please!”
“And what’s that sir?” She asked.
“Caramel Macchiato!!!” I replied.

About M.A.D. LIGAYA
Teacher-Writer
M, A, and D are the initials of my two first names (Massuline and Antonio) and my mother's family name (Dupaya). Ligaya (a Filipino word which means happiness in English) is my family name. MAD is actually one of my nicknames aside from Tony and Ching.
My full name is Massuline Antonio Dupaya Ligaya.
Many times I was asked the question "Why do you write?"
I don't write for material rewards nor adulation. When I write poems, stories, and essays, when I do research, seeing them completed gives me immense joy and satisfaction. I don't write for cash incentives, "likes," and "praises." I would be thankful should I get those but the happiness and sense of fulfillment I feel when completing my works are my real rewards.
Is teaching difficult? No!
When I teach, I don't work but I play. My educational philosophy - "The classroom is my playground, the students are my playmates, and the subject is our toy."
Proud to be me!
Proud to be a FILIPINO!
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
Damn! I love the ending… Caramel Macchiato… Lol! Wow!! You have a way of leading people on. Damn awesome!!

Thanks. I also had friends telling me the same when they read that poem. They thought it was SOMEONE and not SOMETHING.
