El dia de les Verges: let's serenade!

As you know, our 'Dia de les Verges' (19 October) is an old and much appreciated tradition of our Majorcan culture. On this day, boys and girls celebrate with songs and sweet bunyols the day of Saint Ursula and, to some extent, the innocence and joy of courtly love.

As in ancient times, our students like to 'go serenade' their beloved ones. However, today, as modern Romeos and Juliets, they will do it virtually, sending their songs and poems through the net. Espai Creatiu invites you all to create send your poems to celebrate this very sweet day. 

 

What is Love?

It could be as bright as the sky at noon

Or dark as a cloud at night,

We can make it as we like

As long as we stay side by side.

After every storm the clouds disappear

After every night the sun will once more rise

Everytime we look with our eyes

Or we hear with our ears

The song of a little bird perched on a branch

telling us to take a chance

to love with all our heart and ignore the tears

So let us try one more time, what is love?

Oh! maybe this time he might just be mine.

(poem by G.G from 4tB dedicated to...)

A poem for a virgin

My love for you is special, severe

if not infatuation or caprice

but I need you by my side

Oh! To see you one day as my bride

When I think about you I feel the sky

You are more beautiful than a white rose

If you had an accident I would die

If you lost your beauty I'd cut my nose.

(Anonymous poem 4tB for an anonymous love)

Let it Be

Dear Esther, why can't you leave my mind?

Dear Esther, the reason I cannot find

There is you with your blonde hair

I can't stand it anymore, it isn't just fair

The things I've done I can't explain

I know because I know it hurts and causes pain

If I could change the past believe me I would,

I would take away the pain, If I could

I don´t care what people say

I want to be with you all day

Dear Esther love me as I love you

Dear Esther let it be your heart.

(Poem by Lluc Marquès 4tA to Esther)

What is love?

What is love? Love is undescribable

You can think that love is a good feeling

You should think that love is fascinable

But we all agree that love is something.

Maybe love is expressed by kisses

Perhaps love is manifested by words

To be with you is one of my wishes

My heart feels my love never stops.

I promise that you will be in my heart.

Now I want to be with you all the time

For me you are the centre of the Earth,

I am sure that when I'm with you, i'm fine.

I can say That my love for you is true.

Only I am falling in love for you.

(Poem by Andreu Fornés 4tB to his muse...)
