Poem 9. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE

Nothing to post but an old stuff_Sugar&Sugar_10/23

I do smile when you smile

I do laugh when you laugh

I do cry when you cry

I do stop when you stop.

 

You listen when I speak

You share all what you’ve got

You boost me when I’m weak

You always make me hot.

 

But I really don’t know

What is this that I feel?

They say that I love you

I’m not sure if it’s real.

 

I also do the same

When someone’s kind to me

No, this isn’t a game

I just want to be free.

 

I don’t know how to love

Or I am just friendly?

Now this is what I have

A heart that’s so carefree.

Love is very hard to understand. And yes, very complicated. And sometimes, love may not be what we think it to be. But I agree, it's time to break free when we feel shackled by a love. A very thinking poem Dhaye, my compliments on this beautiful effort to project the complexities of love.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Divs, I can't thank you enough with such effort to open the volume where you can find this. :)

[DIVYA]

I am looking forward to reading more from this series Dhaye. Your thoughts are penned so impressively here.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Ahaha! I'm afraid you'll only get bored with the repeated concepts of gloom and frustration. My cheerfulness has been dead for months. I love these sad poems nowadays because I can release my emotions with them...at least to lessen the load.

[DIVYA]

Believe me Dhaye, I am going through the same phase as you. So I'll understand and identify with your writing. It will be a great reading for me.

[*Clare*]

Good stuff! Was really taken with this one.. Can relate:)

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Thanks, Clare. Just an old write...

Someone under confusion...

[Rob Ert]

This is one of the most American 21st century poems that I've ever read. I like it.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

First off all, thanks for the compliment.
But I am not an American. Actually, I am a Filipino and this is a pure Filipino styled-poem. LOL.

[Rob Ert]

I'm sorry...The good qualities of your poem made me attribute the work to the US. "You always make me hot." sounds quite American though haha

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Haha! Maybe I am just flexible when it comes to choice of words. Lol.

[Rob Ert]

Of course you are : ) It was nice meeting you...I'll fallow you...please keep on embellishing this website with your beauteous creations...

[Seeker]

This poem stirs up the memories in me, especially in the first stanza!
The kind of feeling that slowly melts my seconds as I continually progress to read
the whole poem until those words found me again - ended up having the same feeling.
My heart was carefree :S

[Horizon K.]

It seems to me that you do know how to love... But there are so many many ways and hues that love can take.... Understanding which shade your heart has decided on can indeed be hard...

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Thanks for dropping by, HK. Confusion really takes sometimes. This is an old stuff. :)

"You listen when I speak

You share all what you’ve got

You boost me when I’m weak

You always make me hot."
A beautiful poem cascading with lovely emotions and feathery love that is carried by the zephyrs .
What is love but two hearts listening and obeying each other and respecting their time and space. Bravo...:)

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Thanks, Sami. Glad you like this simple piece. :)

[Sami Khalil]

I do . You are welcome...:)

[Pax]

Carefree is better than chained of someone else past that can never return...
when your broken hearted you feel that you don't know to love anymore for healing the broken takes time.

A heartfelt piece...
Great one Pretty Dhaye...

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Thanks, Pare ko. Parang bait mo now ha? Walang kulit? Oy, wag magseryoso. Hehe. :)

[Pax]

hehe... serious muna... ang dami ko pang ereview ngayong... at di pa maganda yung feeling ko...iwan ko ba sa tiyan ko ba ang sumasakit or yung mga kasukasuhan sa katawan yung nagpapahina sa akin ngayon... hehe.. pero kaya parin...
Your most welcome Pretty one :)

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Tiyan? hala, baka ngka-ulcer ka na kasi minsan nag-e-skip ka kasi ng meal. Oy, kumain ka kasi sa oras. Bahala ka, mas okay pa rin tumanda kaysa hanggang bata ka na lang. Lol. Love yourself...that's the "Greatest Love of All". Lol. Kumanta na ako dito.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Namiss ko tuloy sina Gab, Marc at Maryanne kasi dati kahit sa ganitong comment thread nahahalu-halo party tayo.

[Pax]

Yes i remember... mga busy kasi ang mga yun... i missed those times as well

ulcer not yet... baka hyper acidity lang... meron kasi ako nun... kumain na ako ng tinapay... minsan kasi wala akong gana kahit gutom ako... segoro na miss ko lang yung pagkain natin dyan, iba kasi dito :(... oo nga di ako on time kumakain... i will surely change it... :) don't worry... I'll be fine... I am one step at a time in loving myself... iniisa isa ko muna... for now....

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Hehe. Tinapay...if ganyan style ng meal ko, ang sexy ko siguro. Eh, dito kasi pag masarap ang ulam, nawawala ang disiplina. Lemon daw pampapayat kya inom din naman...lemon-lemon...pero pag masarap ang food...lamon-lamon na. Lol.

[Pax]

hahaha... humor suites you best pretty one... LOL
tataba ka pa rin sa tinapay... mas heavy nga yan eh...
ayoko man mag tinapay walang choice kasi yung lang ang offers nila sa maliit na canteen dito sa office... morning and lunch tinapay lang minsan nag nonoodles... yan lang yung kaya ng pobring kababayan mo dito :)....

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Oy, nabawasan na ako ng 5 kilos. Kasi tumaba talaga ako nong April, sarap pag bakasyon eh. Nagpa-repair na ako ng uniforms ko kasi anluluwag talaga. Oh, di ba. May effect ang diet ko. Sabi nila okay na daw, pero gusto ko yung talagang slim, hindi yung okay lang. Hehe.

[Pax]

haha... atleast you achieved something diba... kaya pala blooming.... inspired ata.. :D
effective and diet...:D pero wag subraan... excersice kana lang, wag na yung diet... pag mawala ang 't' ng diet...kakatakot...:D

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Nagpapatahi kasi si Gab ng damit na pang-Lady Gaga kaya dodoblehin ko para makapagsuot din ako kaya nagpapa-slim ako. Lol. Idol namin si Ms. Sexy Maryanne. Hehe.

Oo nga noh...diet minus t equals....ayaw ko noh. Haha. Thanks sa reminder. Nagbibiruan tayo dito sa serious kong tula, pati tugtog ma-drama kahit comedy tayo. Lol.

[Pax]

haha... we do like to have fun kaya ganun... enjoy ng enjoy through words of happy thoughts... ganun lang yun...

lady gaga... haha.. pwede na... pang lady gaga...

[Coyote Poetry]

A beautiful poem. Love is hard to understand and harder to control. The heart make us celebrate and make us know fear also. Good to be carefree and wild. Sometime better to be free in mind and in heart. Love is a long ride. We need many good dances to know we had lived. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

Thanks, CP, my first reviewer in this poem. Lol.
It's an old stuff, the piece I wrote sometime in my life that I am confused. It's from my old collection.
