TO THE MAN I MARRIED

You are my earth and all that earth implies:

The gravity that ballasts me in space,

The air I breathe, the land that stills my cries

For food and shelter against devouring days.

You are the earth whose orbit marks my way

And sets my north and south, my east and west,

Your are the final, elemental clay

The driven heart must turn to for its rest.

If in your arms that hold me now so near

I lift my keening thoughts to another one,

As trees long rooted to the earth uprear

Their quickening leaves and flowers to the sun,

You who are earth, O never doubt that I

Need you no less because I need the sky!

II

I can not love you with a love

That outcompares the boundless sea,

For that were false, as no such love

And no such ocean can ever be.

But I can love you with a love

As finite as the wave that dies

And dying holds from crest to crest

The blue of everlasting skies.

That poem is so lovely! :")

It is written by Angela Manalang-Gloria.

We studied it for our PhilLit subject, and man it was great! i thought at first it was only a normal love poem. But as soon as we analyzed it part by part. It was a really great one.

It talked about the love of a wife to his husband. How unreasonable and unconditional it was and will always be.

You are my final elemental clay.. Meaning, you'll be the last person i'll ever love so dear :")

Gaaaaah. Ang sweet lang talaga nung poem! Made me realize a lot of things. Thanks to my brilliant professor :) He made us realize how true love should be. And with that, he asked us to write an essay of how we see love in our eyes. On how we would want it to be when we give that love to someone else. It was really hard considering i'm not inspired to write about it. Kung sana dati pa nina pinasulat yun baka and dami ko pang nasulat. And it's also under time pressure so ang hirap talaga.

What i wrote in my paper is how my love would be the purest of it all.

"I would look into his eyes like none ever has, love him like no one ever has and appreciate him like no one ever has. I may love him more, but it doesn't matter. What matters is that we'll never leave each other's arms again."

Oh dba? ansabe? =))

Then on may way home yesterday, i listened to Boys night out as usual. And their topic was "Have someone ever fought for you in a relationship? Or have you fought for someone?"

The callers were really nakakatuwa! :)) One was from singapore. And my dear God. Pareho kami ng story! as in! =)) My friend even bbm-ed me kasi it was exactly like our story daw. The whole time i was listening, i kept on laughing. Di ko alam kung bakit. Pero tumatawa lang ako. And react lng ng react habang nag babasa ng notes. HAHA! Sapul ako e >:)))

"When you give space, someone will take your place."

TAMUUUH :)

HAHAHAHAHA! Got it from the boys! :)

Yeah meeeeen! \m/

Yesterday was definitely senti day! Halos maiyak ako kahapon habang sinusulat yung essay sa PhilLit :< The fudge.
