The Torch




I'm a torch that needs Your fire

Fire that removes emptiness

In this world of weariness

Draw me closer to Your Fire

Laughter by Maningning Miclat




The person speaking in the poem is a girl who has a boyfriend. In this poem the speaker is involved in the action happening in the poem. The situation happening in the poem is that the girl speaking is trying to hide her pain by his laughter. The boy does not want anymore the girl that is why he is leaving. It seems that the boy is not happy anymore with the relationship he has with his girlfriend. It is very ironic because the title suggests a positive idea but when you read the poem itself you will see that the title is opposite of the content of the poem. That is how i see the poem Laughter by Maningning Miclat.
