Vanilla, My Sweet Manila

Sweet, warm, calming..

As I sip my double tea vanilla latte

In a local café 

Radiant, pleasant, vibrant..

Is the scene of lovers, friends and families..

Pulling me deep into my reverie

Vanilla, my sweet Manila..

All of the pleasure offered

Poured into a cup of latte

Self indulgence for the weary eyes

And dry lips of thirst

Vanilla, my sweet Manila
