Castrodes, KISHA GEC 10 - FINAL EXAM

This document contains two versions of a poem about first love - an original version from 1929 and a created version by the student.

Original Version: Hands of a Virgin


By José Corazón de Jesús' 1929

Fair hands, both soft and silk-like


whenever you touch my hair
all the doubts that I keep inside
are all completely forgotten.

And like a blooming flower,


your fingers are petals of beauty;
that whenever I touch, Oh fair darling,
is like kissing the rose itself.

Kind hands, with softness of cotton


with a swirl at the center that gathers inside,
Beautiful hands that seems to have the cure,
with a simple touch heals a hundred wounds.

Similar to gentle, white birds


that could sleep at their chests
with a single kiss of mine it begins to open
and at my cheeks it feels so sweet.

As the story goes, the hands of a virgin


are gentle and without fault;
I who am evil when I adored you
Becomes very kind when touched by you.

Created version: The poem above was about the feeling of having a first love portraying
the hands of a virgin as naïve, innocent and pure. So, with my version I did develop the
theme about FIRST LOVE.

FIRST LOVE by: Kisha C.

I was blushing at that moment


When I saw you staring at me
I could never leave any comment
But gosh, you look cute when you look at me!
I was astonished by your smile,
My heartbeat seems to stop for a while,
For I can’t stop myself to stare at you,
Since then, I started to love you.

I started to search you on facebook,


Then I did collect your pictures on my scrapbook,
I made a research from your story,
From then on, you are the content of my diary.
I want to hold myself from falling for you.
But my day is incomplete without dreaming of you,
I can’t help myself from refraining
From the days you were the one I’m thinking.

They say, I maybe fool


But I couldn’t resist, I am a happy fool
Surely seems to love is foolish
No matter what they say,
All is senseless.

Kind hands, with softness of cotton


Sound of love, feelings I couldn’t reckon
Ridiculous to call but I’m your honey, my bacon
Only yours, my person.
And like a blooming flower,
My first love will always my morning boomer,
To hold you is like a dream for a dreamer
A simple touch could make my heart, flutter.

And, no matter what they say,


All is senseless.
I know that my love is only one-sided
But I accept the happiness for I decide this,
Even if were not destined for each other,
I still believe you are a God-sent happiness.
Only time can tell,
But even if times are lesser, still
I would treasure every moment
My first love, I am happy that you came.
