Terror to love you Terror to love you Sophia de Mello Breyner Andersen (1919-2004, Portugal) It’s a terror to love you in such a fragile world A shame to love you in this place of imperfection Where everything break us and make us mute Where everything lie to us and keep us apart *****(Translated by L.T.)***** Terror de te amar Sophia de Mello Breyner Andersen (1919-2004, Portugal) Terror de te amar num sítio tão frágil como o mundo Mal de te amar neste lugar de imperfeição Onde tudo nos quebra e emudece Onde tudo nos mente e separa --my words-- Are we, really, in such a fragile world, in such an imperfect place, to love? Are we, really, having terror to love, because of the world where we are existing and the imperfections that we have to live up with? Terror, fear, are you the twins of love? My heart is heavy, seeing hearts sighing and crying, singing and mulling...in the deep night, in the early morning, in intoxication, in sober-up, in the warm lamp-light, in the chilly dew, in the vast field, in the narrow quilt, in the open smiles, in the oppressed weeps... Everywhere they are, they are everywhere! Lay, them, down, onto this lake... (Portuguese poems are very beautiful in tonality and melancholy. Friend, try to read it, make the sound, e deixe o "terror de te amar".)

Hmmmm...something different to think about. I'm not into poetry much...but think it is wrong to be afraid to love in an imperfect world. Light a candle hope. Laugh at the dark & accept what you cannot change by yourself. Lead by example...some people will think you are crazy sitting in the dark with a candle & laughing....or some will join you if they understand what you are doing.

Friends, i posted this blog after a written correspondence w/ a friend in love. The correspondent has gone through the exhilirating phase (the 1st passionate phase), reaching on fearing phase (truth may come out). The fear comes fm the worry, how to love each other perfectly? if there w/b defects, can the two still in love? So i deem the "terror to love you" is originated fm "i love you". Yes, if you love someone, may he/she be your hus/wife, lover, kids, family,friend,your land and country, you want them to be happy, be content, to have the good and be the good. You have terror if you love in such a fragile world and imperfect place. What can we do? davinci: "It really seems that there's no gain where there's no loss." heartdesire: conquer the terror, to love, love of a person, a thing or a belief. Cinder: "Light a candle hope. Laugh at the dark & accept what you cannot change by yourself." Fantacy: "it is a risky journey to love, but seems we are willing to take it since it has so much attraction." Yeah, therefore, pain the terror to gain, loss the terror to gain; minimize the terror, and love; light the hope, love; risk the terror, and love... Is it a thrill to taste the terror to love you?
