November Parody, 24th

I made a Filipino translation of this during third year. Take note of this entry's date.


How would you love me? Let me bear the ways:
You would love as the sun unto her trees,
as do malignant eyes unto your grace,
A ray of vivid life, comes such a tease.
You would love to the depth and breadth of sight
of loving for faces’ sake of these days
untoward retort of being in their spite
Of loving with any soul’s reach for Praise.
You would love with the fondness you have left
with your old pains, you delusions of fraught,
Much amiss with the haste of loving theft
In the sundry realms of lives untold.
You would hold, and do, no other heart truth,
As you would love, in bearing ways I’ve put.
