i cannot write

I cannot write

 

I cannot write

A verse today

I cannot paint

A rainbow now

 

I cannot weave

A song, a dream

I cannot think

Aloud

 

I cannot dance

My feet are weak

I cannot flash

A smile

 

My mind is filled

With other things

I need not justify

 

I want to write a

Verse or two but

I am dummified

 

Today he came

And looked at me

His puppy eyes

They cried

 

Now I couldn’t say

A word ‘bout love

I am ill qualified

 

My mind is filled

With other things

I need not justify

Thanks for your time.  Sometimes I just feel things deeply, I guess.  Heehee.

magandang gawing kanta ito Ruth, parang yung folk song ni John Denver na I wanna live, may paulit-ulit na phrase kasi na maganda sa pagbuo ng kanta

  Hi. You can't write, yet

 

Hi.

You can't write, yet you manage to compose a poem.

Consuelo de bobo? The well-done poem?

 

thanks for the comment, and your time...

 

hi,  alexander dagrit.  i was trying to say I was not ill qualified to write a poem about love.  :) thanks for reading.  you didn't pitch in a comment to fight, right?  i'm too weak to fight, either with swords or with words. 

ciao.  nice to meet you.

  Hi, Ruthie. Of course, I

 

Hi, Ruthie.

Of course, I don't like any form of fight.

I love your poem.

It's consuelo de bobo, which I think in Tagalog means pampalubag-loob. I'm not just sure.

But a well-done consuelo de bobo.

 

  that was just playing

 

that was just playing with rhetorics, i guess, noting that you are alexander the great, a conqueror.

i think you might have wanted to say: "if it's any consolation..." - despite the fact that i couldn't write but ended up writing one, heheh. 

thanks again.

Thanks.

  there is a hidden message

 

there is a hidden message in the poem and it says...

READ BETWEEN THE LINES

...if you know what i mean

 i guess so. please save

i guess so. please save the author from the murky water she has found herself in, and perhaps, the murky water she made herself.  hehehe.

but then again, i need not justify....:)
