bihag
this is my current like from Imago - Bihag
Tanggapin,
Pikit matang umamin sa akin
Handa ka ng umalis
Walang pipigil
Walang hahadlang
Sa mainam mong hiling
Ipaskil ang dalangin
Sa pisarang hangin
Kasabay ng wakas
Ng isang panaginip
Agiw sa isip
Itago ko man
Mahirap gawin
Na ikaw ay limutin
Hanggang dito na lang
(sa muling pagbagtas)
Handa kang sumuko
Sa unang pagbitiw
Matutunan ko sana
(ang muling pag-angkas)
Lumayo sa huling sandali
Brilliantly penned… hanga ako sa mga manunulat ng mga ganitong kanta, sa mga nagsusulat ng tula. Konti lang ang makapagcapture ng emosyon at ideya ng tao sa ganitong paraan.
Hindi talaga ako marunong magsulat ng tula, nung college I tried at the prodding of Jen. Jen is the poet while I would like to think that I am for short story writing. Her prodding did lead to poetry-writing attempts and one of which sort of won the approval of a Hiligaynon writer. i guess that would be the only time my attempts could be considered close to poetry.
Rosary, too, has a talent to wield a good poem in Hiligaynon and Tagalog. However, since we left college, she no longer writes one. I dont know about Jen, though. Me, i just find myself writing paragraphs that looked like poems… i guess, that’s what you call verses… once in a while. Most of the time, I rely on the poetry made by music and musicians to articulate my emotions… etc.
