Analysis of poem………..

BLUE VALENTINE

By Ricardo Saul LaRosa

How my heart aches for you tonight,

On this blue valentine’s day,

No chocolate sweets or kisses for me,

From those lips that made me feel loved,

My dear Valentine where are you tonight?

I hope the angels protect you,

From this crazy world,

My dear Valentine I pray that you cherish,

Our love we once shared and keep it close to you heart…

On this blue valentine’s day,

Your memory invades my world,

Like a monstrous army,

Leaving destruction in its path,

 On this blue valentine’s day,

All my fears are realized,

Abandoned and blue,

Alone and blue…

How it hurts to be in love,

On this blue valentine’s day,

No red roses or card for me,

From those hands that made me fall in love,

My dear Valentine where are you tonight?

I hope the angels protect you,

From this crazy world,

My dear Valentine I pray that you cherish,

Our love we once shared and keep it close to you heart…

From BLUE VALENTINE

 PARAPRHASE
 Blue valentine tells about love. But not happy love, this poem tells about bad love. Tell

about a girl that have problem in valentine’s day. She feels loneliness. Because in valentine’s day

her boyfriend doesn’t come. Her boyfriend not gives a prize for him. Besides that, she don’t

know where her boyfriend now. She always pray and hopes in order she can meet with

boyfriend. She prays with honest.

In line 1 “How my heart aches for you tonight,” and line 18 “How it hurts to be in love,”

explain about when this girl in night of valentine’s day feel alone and hurts. In here we can see

that love found in two hearts and that heart must to be at one. If no, any one heart hurts. But,

sometimes that hurts to be in love.

In stanza 2, 10, 14, and 19, “On this blue valentine’s day,” explain about not all people

fell happy in valentine’s day, but some people feel sad. Generally, blue represent about

atmosphere cool, calm, and positive energy. But in this poem, blue represent about sorrow,

loneliness, and bad color. The author choices a word “blue” because maybe the author has a

special background about this color.

In line 3 “No chocolate sweets or kisses for me,” and line 20 “No red roses or card for

me,” explain about the basic of valentine is the day of all people give their love and pity to their

beloved man. In the world, the people for express their loved with give chocolate or card for

their beloved man like their friends and their family, and kisses or roses for their girlfriend or

their boyfriend to their wife or their husband. Not only to, a sun can give roses for their sister or

their mom in valentine’s day. But in this poem, this girl not visited that all.

In line 4 “From those lips that made me feel loved,” and line 21 “From those hands that

made me fall in love,” explain about everything can make us feel and falling in love. Even

though those only small reasons. We can see that this poem expose about sad valentine’s day.
We can feel love when our boyfriend can make many colors in our life. We as a girl very

appreciate that reason.

My dear Valentine where are you tonight?

I hope the angels protect you,

From this crazy world,

Those poems explain about even though she not together with her soulmate, but she

always can fell love from her boyfriend. Even though he feels hurts, he is always positive

thinking with her boyfriend. We can see that love is our life. In everything in our life we must

have love. But we can’t life with happy if we not have love. From this stanza we can now that

any big power of love in our self though we not together. From far of distance we can pray order

the angels always protect our boyfriend. As we know that in global era valentine’s day can make

all people do mistakes.

My dear Valentine I pray that you cherish,

Our love we once shared and keep it close to you heart…

From that poem, we know that not only explain about of valentine’s day, but Valentine in

this stanza in the name of the boy in this poem. If we feel fall in love, even thought our boyfriend

far from eyes but near in heart.

In line 14-17 :

On this blue valentine’s day,

 All my fears are realized,

Abandoned and blue, Alone and blue…

explain about he fell afraid because he alone and blue. It means that blue express about dark,

quiet, and silent. In this poem, blue is a something that can make our feel sad. In fact, sometimes

in valentine’s day some people fell happy in this day. So, as a people we must divide our happy

with other people. Because valentine’s day not only for couple, but valentine’s day possession all

people in the world that celebrate.

From line 22-27 in the last of lines is same sentence with line 5-9. We can see that the

author want to explain with clear about the girl in this poem very sad and loneliness at

valentine’s day. She is not happy and she has a symbol with color “blue” to symbolize this

valentine’s day bad moment.

According to me, theme of this poem not matching with contents. From the theme, we

can see that this poem explain about a big power of love. But, if we read the content of this

poem, this is very different with the theme. We can analyze from the different of the theme with

content of this poem. Maybe the author can the reader know that color “blue” not only as a

happy symbolize. So, we can use everything color that we like to express our moment and our

experience. From that explanation, in generally in world all people celebrate valentine’s day and

as we know that valentine’s day on February, 14th.

 ANALYSIS

According to me, we can analyze with use psychological approach theory. Psychological

approach theory is theory that use to analyze in literature that explain about emotional intelligent
about this poem. Emotional intelligent is the ability to understand and handling sense of

emotional in this poem. In this theory explain about ability to interlace relationship with other

people in their environment. For example in this poem, a girl in this poem has relationship with a

boy as her boyfriend.

Emotional intelligent always have relationship with fell and emotion that people.

Emotional intelligent consist of five area, such as : know our self emotion, handling our emotion,

give motivation for our self, to know emotion other people and interlace relationship with other

people in their environment.

In this poem, emotional intelligent the girl is enough good. She can handle her emotion to

do something that not good for her. She pray to God order her boyfriend always protect from the

angels. From this case we can see that if we honest love to someone, we will do something that

can’t make our boyfriend happy. She always positive thinking even though she not together with

her boyfriend.

Emotional intelligent consist of four aspects, first is manage our self. Its means that how

people can manage their self and their feeling of experience. Same with this poem, the girl can

do it. Even though she feel sad in valentine’s day, but she always feel power of love with her

boyfriend. We must know that love not only for a couple, but love is for all people. Even though

sometime some people push to feel love in their heart.

Line 7 “From this crazy world,” can explain about in the word has celebrate of

valentine’s day in February, 14th. In valentine’s day, some people sometime do something that

can they crazy for a moment.

 Second is how to manage our self to give motivation for our self. It aims to give an

advantage to reach our ambition, to solve the problem that we faced. In this poem, line 4 “From

those lips that made me feel loved,” and line 21 “From those hands that made me fall in love,”

this sentence is show about the girl always remember small something that connected with her

boyfriend. This is can give motivation to herself to always wake her love in order that love still

intact in her heart.

Third is empathy. It is built by self awareness with think that if you are in same position

towards the problem that faced by other people. It helps you to read and understand what other

people feeling. We can see that in this poem has a connected with this aspect. In example this

girl is a girl that has deep feeling with her boyfriend. She always placed herself if she only no

one people have problem in our life. We must can face that all problem to get a happy in our life.

The last is social skill. Social skill is skill that can learnt from when they child about how

to interlace relationship with other people. It means we can learn social skill when we child

because childhood is time they has a big curiosities. Maybe in this poem, the girl has a skill of

emotional when she child.

All of them can separate from internal and external factor. Internal factor is factor that

exist in our self that can influence our emotional intelligent. External factor is something or

factor that exist from our environment that can influence our emotional intelligent. In this poem,

the girl has an internal problem. Because her problem or her sad in valentine’s day is from

internal factor. She doesn’t have external factor. And she not divided her sad with other people.

She abandoned and alones. She feels blue.

This is proof in line 14-18:

On this blue valentine’s day,

 All my fears are realized,

Abandoned and blue,

Alone and blue…

How it hurts to be in love,

She doesn’t want the other people fell her sad in valentine’s day. She always respect with

other people. And after we read this poem we know that if we love someone, we must defend our

love. We must know how to keep our love.

In line 8 “our love we once shared and keep it close to your heart…” can give our

information about even though we not together, we always feel that our soulmate always in close

to our heart. We can ask to our heart why we always feel other something in our heart.

For the last, I want to warn to the reader if the theme of this poem not matching with the

content. From the theme we can see that this poem explain about energy and sensual problem

that can make us happy and smile every day. But if we read the content of this poem, we will get

different something. The content of this poem explain about sad or bad day in valentine’s day.

From this analyze, I want to explain that noting something one can clear our love from

our heart if we has a big power of love in our deep heart. But we must sure with our beloved

man. Not all man is playboy man, but some man can give their love to their girlfriend with

honest. So I hope the reader can get a lesson from this poem. And my analysis can give you

advantage in your life.
