Walang Pamagat

marahil masalimuot ang mundong kinabibilangan niya
madalas ang away, walang humpay ang gulo.

marahil dapat protektado siya ng kinalalagyan niya
ngunit para itong isang bilangguang kumakahon,
sumasakop, sumusukob, pumipigil…

marahil inilalayo lamang siya sa panganib
ng mga taong nag-aalala, ng mga taong nagmamahal…

marahil dapat manatili na lamang muna siya
sa kung saan siya ay malayo sa nagbabanggaang bato
ngunit nais niyang magpumiglas, nais niyang makawala.

dahil para sa isang taong nasa loob ng hawla,
wala ng iba pa mang konsepto ng tama
kundi ang minimithing paglaya.

No, Never, Never Ever

it’s ridiculous, outrageous, preposterous
for me to even consider thinking about this
gnawing, troubling, very very distressing
thing that just popped into this overtaxed mind.

it’s absolutely, totally, utterly, impossible
for me to even dare give you a sliver of attention,
this ridiculous, outrageous, preposterous notion
should never be true – no, never, never ever.

it’s incomprehensible, inconceivable, unbelievable
that i should think of you – oh that single thought
bothers me, agitates me, disorients me to no end,
it should never happen – no, never, never ever.

it’s ridiculous, ludicrous, and a bit disastrous,
no, i shouldn’t miss you – i shouldn’t and wouldn’t,
because it’s mind-boggling, overwhelming, bewildering,
no, i don’t miss you – no, never, never ever.

– this is merely an exercise on synonyms. that is to say that this thing is dedicated to no one in particular. pero kung gusto mong maapektuhan, sino ba naman ako para pigilan ka? 😀
