Mythmaking

And,

 

She shall live in my imagination.

The kind which wears a heart

For poems,                  and freedom.

 

There is no guilt in it

for slashing everything in two.

Even, leaving behind

the things that does not fit.

 

She’ll have the soul to weave continuously

without untangling the fear

of getting too old and

have nothing to live for

except

the richness of her expectations.

 

Burning idols she will destroy;

The Greece of her heart will flow

without turning truth, pain, and beauty

into a stone

as a matter of preservation

 

Being to the world; and for the world,

she’ll revel in consciousness

as a woman,

Without finding in every color

stereotypes,

the glint of the unbearable.

And completely miss the point

of silver slashes in the cheek.

 

She’ll even change her mind.

Become a parable instead.

And bear children.

Wag kang mag alala di ka nag

Wag kang mag alala di ka nag iisa. Sa totoo lang eh na bo bore ako dito kase masyadong preachy. Tungkol kay Sylvia Plath yan. Criticism ke Sylvia Plath at sa lahat ng babaeng di matagalan ang kanilang pagkababae. As usual, idinidikit ko na naman sa mitolohiya.

 

Oo personal itong akda.  Panong just to amuse?

uy sige paalam muna, magbabasa ako muli ng akda mo pagbalik ko.. basahin mo din ung sakin.. magbasahan tayo! hehehe!

thank you ha.

 ang hirap gumawa ng walang maisip!

ng walang ideyang nagpapahiwatig

 kanina pa ako dito nakatitig at nakikinig

pero buti na lang at ika'y nasilip

parang narinig ang aking gibilk

ika'y mitsa nang napipinto kong pagising

sa mga ideyang sa akin mo'y inihatid 

ikaw ang musa sa tila walang hanggang dilim...
