LIKE CHINA

Inspired by an old song...

I held it tighter before
Just because I do not want to lose it

But it is so breakable
Like china in my hands
So I  loosen my hold a little bit
Just enough
To preserve its splendor

For good...

I see this in a different perspective...
like an egg in your hand...
you can squeeze all you want...
and will not break it...
the laws of Physics just won't let you...
yet give it a little room and its very fragile...
give warmth and love --- it will thrive...
nothing last forever...
yet your nurturing will continue...
for another to span the distance...
and give it faith-hope-and love...
and as you did to it...when it was yours...

Love is like a china in our hands. Hold it tight it will break and cuts the palm. Loosen it a bit, it will bloom like a flower before your very eyes...mmmmm... how to treat a woman or a person who we have relationship could also be liken to a china..

[Dhaye]

Yesss! Thank you so much, Gab. A woman's heart is so delicate so it should be treated with extra care. Likewise, a mannequin must be treated special care, too. LOL

[gabrielle]

but what if a mannequin is made of elephant tusk? lol....sa santo at mga martir pala yun..

[Dhaye]

Hmnn...I'm not guilty pero feeling ko may laman naman ang last phrase na yan? Instinct ba yun? LOL

[gabrielle]

i have the feeling na sasabihin yan hahahaha.

[Dhaye]

LOL. Ano kayang nakain ng aking naning at mas makulit pa sa akin now ha? But I'm happy, you're not serious now. I'm in the mood for joking din. Si Pax, nauutot na sa kakapigil ng pagtawa sa office nila. Hehe.

[gabrielle]

lol...nakakastress kasi ang seryoso.. lol..umabot dito ang amoy nya.. yuck..lol

[Dhaye]

Hehe. Lagot ka kay Pax. Walang kamalay-malay ang bata. Galing ng pang-amoy mo ha? Hanggang Saudi talaga noh? Paano pa kaya ako dito lang Mindoro. Hehe

[Pax]

at talagang umabot diyan ang utot...lol, ang powerful naman nang utot ko kung ganun...haha

[Dhaye]

lol. huli ka na sa balita. nakalayas na ang salarin..este ang nakaamoy ng utot mo. =)

[Pax]

well atleast my souvenir or remembrance... hahaha, nakakahiya na nakakatawa naman na ala-ala yan...haha

[Dhaye]

Pero hanga sya sa new look mo, bro. Alam ko kung bakit...kasi type nyang hingin yang shades mo. Original ba yan? Type ko rin sana kaso nauna na sya. Pagtyagaan ko na muna yung salamin ng tatay ko. LOL

[Pax]

haha, harbor nga yan eh, i mean, hiram lng, di sa akin originally, plano ko pang bumili nang bago kaso wala pa sa badget kaya pag tsagaan nlng ang hiram..haha

[gabrielle]

lol.. patawad po wala ako barya... atsaka pede po wag lumapit, nakakahawa po sore eyes..lol..

[Pax]

haha, talaga namang ito lang yung pulobing naka get-up, taong grasang malinis..haha... may sore eyes nga maganda naman ang shades...lol...

[Dhaye]

Sabi mo, hiram lang yan. Kahiya naman sa may-ari...

[NeiL ArandA]

You have another one . Your inspiration is very potent indeed .

[Dhaye]

My muse never fails me...
Thanks, Neil.

[Lydia Shutter]

What a lovely write this is! Good simile. Yes, we have to treat certain things...and certain people...in our lives with kid gloves. They may "break" otherwise. To know what is precious and fragile in life is so important. Beautifully written. Lydi**

[Dhaye]

Lydi, you always have those encouraging words. Thank you so much!

[Eddie Davis]

I love the paradox of the preciousness of the object contrasting the fragility of it. This would be a wonderful metaphor for many things, such as Love. Well done!

[Dhaye]

Being aware of the fragility of something valuable will help one make the appropriate action.
Thank you for the visit on my page, Eddie.
