so we read this poem in class today
its called ''Summer elegies''by Derek Walcott(total ledge womanizer)
the first 3 stanzas were purely about sex
on a beach,
for like the first time
kinda describing in a nervous teenager way
'the things we did'' and 'hands dareing to be bolder''
Woah,it was graphic
i found it really alright to begin with,but by the time it was finished the poem took on a completely different meaning that had NOTHING to do with sex.
the end was about relationships and how with time they fade away
even a realationship that is once passionate and fun eventually dies out,like the memory Walcott was remembering in the poem.
the thought of that really struck me
if all relationships eventually die out then in what concept and context does the word 'love' come into the question of relationships?
in my opinion(and you dont have to agree)
Love is the most over-used and abused word in the entire english speaking language.As stupid as it sounds and i know how critical some people will be when i quote Lauren Conrad :'Love is not a maybe thing,you know when you love somebody''
but how?
how the hell do you know?
There are a few people ive come across in life who dont belive in a little bit of l.o.v.e and who firmly believe that it doesnt exsist which their quite entitled to.
Then theres the people who throw the word around like a football and have no meaning behind it whatsoever
and of course i'll put my hands up and admit that ive done that a lot in the past,everyone has.
Then there are the people who will say it just because they feel obliged to do so.
I could go on about this forever but ive just made tea and its getting cold now :) so i should probably wrap this up
if you want to debate me with this i would LOVE too (get it??!)
anyway,to anyone who has msn me in the last 2weeks
i actually havent been online in 2weeks and im still not cos my broadband is broke :(
if i was online u were actually talking to my grandad BAHA
My msn is on his laptop and the stupid thing signed me in everytime it switched on :P grrrrrrrrr
BUT I FIXED IT NOW!
so im basically just studying while u lot are online(lucky!)
