a star on december 11, 2006
i saw a star amongst red clouds
and all i had to do was look up.
the blood of bitterness
did not consume
all the sparkly sweetness,
afterall.
love hate bliss brokeness
passion, passion, passion.
in one. sweet, sweet one.
one december
one cool christmas night
one soul again takes flight.
i leave behind who i am.
without rings
but with song
i sing in perfect circles
and all i had to do was look up.
the blood of bitterness
did not consume
all the sparkly sweetness,
afterall.
love hate bliss brokeness
passion, passion, passion.
in one. sweet, sweet one.
one december
one cool christmas night
one soul again takes flight.
i leave behind who i am.
without rings
but with song
i sing in perfect circles

sinusubukan ko interpret yung poem mo.
sa first stanza, you're not that pessimistic after all and life ain't always a bitch?
second stanza, one december, is that a special day? a recollection of the past with love hate bliss brokeness passion passion? why take flight? liberation? liberation from what? the past? or liberation from now by seeking comfort from the past?
third stanza, you leave who you are? who are you? you leave your past? or you leave this present by going home to the past? why without rings? does ring symbolize commitment? you're liberated from commitment? or is it a different kind of ring? you're freed with a song? you love songs? i keep wondering about the last line, "without rings" and then "i sing in perfect circles" << circles remind me a lot of a ring. or will you leave who you are forever by singing perfectly in circle, forever?
did i make sense?
thank you for your words

one soul again takes flight.. his heart loves again? jologs pero un. high on love soar to unknown heights.
i leave all that i am. person lets hmself fall in love, wanting to please that other person, unconditionally, constantly perfecting himself for him.
without rings kasi "forbidden love" kasi dapat ito. so, no they are not bound by the church... not of society either. just by their words and melodies. Just with their song.
I sing in perfect circles...- with the imperfection of their love he finds perfection, endless perfection.
did i make sense? : ) salamat sa pagkacomment :)
