Why I Still Love You

Love Poem From My Archives in circa 1999 an experimental one

This is what I want to tell you

I look back to the crystal glass

I saw the past we had

a reminiscence

how we come through

We are a tree

I am the root

You are the trunk

We bear fruits

Typhoons battered us

Droughts battered us

we had different pests

that nearly uprooted us

But the trunk was strong

and fed the roots

with reserved saps

( love, soulful advise and hope)

That's why we are still standing

because of you

because of we

For the years we had been

you remain the same

That's why I still love you

As my love being nourished by your love

Your heart always be mine

My heart always be yours

That words etched in my heart

That words etched in your heart

And forever in the trunk of that tree

As long you live

As long as I live

Next day and the day after

and hope everyday

we will bear more fruits

to add more sweetness

to our love

and get through

love the metaphors Ency, and the tree of life stands strong because of it's roots.It is the trunk that bears the fruit to sow more seeds but without nourishment from the roots nothing grows...the same is in life as you have beautifully portrayed..

*This is I want to tell you---This is what I want to tell you

I am so much captivated with this stanza:

"For the years we had been
you remain the same
That's why I still love you
As my love being nourished by your love
Your heart always be mine
My heart always be yours
That words etched in my heart
That words etched in your heart
And forever in the trunk of that tree
As long you live
As long as I live."

A promise of eternal love.... Sweet!:)

dhaye - a good suggestion - This is what I want to tell you - sounds good. This is a raw poem I composed before an experimental in love poem and I never published because I'm in hesitation with this concept, seems no impact to the readers, " parang badoy " ha,ha,ha. I'll edit it - many thanks.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Badoy? Everything is badoy for someone who don't know the word Love. But everything is romantic to a person who knows to love and to be loved.

Thanks for taking my suggestion into consideration. Love to read your poems, Sir Ency. :)

[Ency Bearis]

Any suggestions I look upon and think about it. That's why I had no hesitation to post my works, for I love those critiques. If your composition has no comments on it, means it is not interesting - dead. So thanks again.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Cool! That's right. I give my suggestions because I like the piece and like it more if it will be improved. Thanks, Sir Ency. :)
