I don't know why I entitled this poem 'Mangga'. To those who didn't know, Mangga or Mango in English is the Philippines' national fruit. So yeah, it's one of my favorite flavors also :)
Come and taste this mango-flavored, bittersweet-hugot poem :P
Enjoy!

Mangga
Maasim, madilaw
Bilugan, nakalawlaw
Mga nakasabit na mapang-akit
Kapag natikma'y, mata'y naniningkit
Matamis, masarap
Bango'y nalalasap
Nahinog, nahulog
Walang sumalo, nabulbog
Mapait, maitim
Kulot at mabaho na
Pag-ibig na parang manggang hilaw
Ako na walang ikaw
Lasang kinulang na sa tamis
Ngayo'y kasing alat na ng pawis
Manggang binuro ng panahon
Parang pag-ibig mong nabaon
Masarap, maasim
Mapait, mapakla
Minsan mangga
Minsan ikaw.
