And Her Tears Fall Once More

Her stomach is aching
She is so hungry
She wants to eat an apple
But there's nothing on the table
But an onion
With her closed eyes she hold it
Make a bite and chew
And her tears fall once more...

Hard to eat something you don't want...

I like the featured review. Made me laugh. I remembered KBL (Kamatis, bagoong, laya) as a dipping sauce. Sometimes we are looking for substitute for something that we cannot have. However, the result is not always satisfying and worst, it could even hurt us. You can take the piece literally or metaphorically.This is very clever, dhaye.

Thanks, Gab.

Oh, ikaw na pala ang fetured review dito. =)

I agree with the pain in eating onion. I love eating onion. Few people do. The poem had a feel of loneliness and sadness.

just like it is hard to love someone you don't want...
causes the same kind of tears...

[Dhaye]

Same as doing something you don't want, like hurting the one you love.
Thank you once again, Sir J.

mag prepare ka lng nang sawsawan, pwde na yan ulam.hehe
Usually here in Saudi, dito na ako natuto kumain nang onion - yung puti na medyo may kalakihan sa pula. Kinakain yan dito raw, fresh and a bit cold kasi naka refregerate eh. Masarap naman sya together with rice and barbeque chicken... ayan, i am talking about food na...haha

Tse! Serious yang tula ko, ginawa mong literal. I have a problem now, but I can't approach you because I know that you are also in an emotional trouble.

[Pax]

haha, hay... i am just having fun, pretty friend, masyado na kasing sad yung emotional mind ko, so in a way, I find this a bit fun to read literally... pm mo ako mamaya..

Sometimes when you're hungry, it is better to drink water rather than eat what you can't stomach. Living water is the best...

Hang in there, dear friend, your fast will soon end. :)

Thanks, Eddie.

Hmmmm, a great analogy that sometimes we do what we don't like or approve of in order to survive the cruel world.

Thank you, cowboy.
