Some randomness

After surfing the net and hoping to find some nice people to talk to, I just decided to scribble something just to ease some tensions on my mind.


Been days of mind-boggling and brain-whacking thoughts. I feel like shooing away all things, dismissing them all the same. I wanted to be in solitaire in an attempt to get things clear. Problems are abundant and omnipresent, left and right, top and bottom, north, east west and south. And it seems to be no scarcity of such.


As I leave my troubled room, where I temporarily leave the doubts, aversions and fears, I welcome more complications and bigger fears. Out of the comfort zone, inside the jail-like zone. And now comes more rubs for career and endless demands. I need to dispatch them in a flash. I need to rid of these lucid randomness.


And it seems there's no halting them. They become undeterred unsubmissive and ever winning whatever the war they are waging against.


They fire from my back like dragons from its chains, a heart attack to an old man, stroke for the hags and like a thief in the night. There seems to be endless like fires in hell, deep water in the well. And as I search for refuge, nothing comes my way. Everything seems to be in rage, war-mongering and ever hungry for revenge.


I’ve been wanting to take a break from the traffic that consumes me everyday. But there seems to be no escaping the fate that I chose to be with. This is supposed to be the better destiny, the best option, the benefit-maximizing alternative. If only Superman (or Supergirl) would come to rescue me out of the fire, then there would be peace. At the least maybe.


I would lie on the bed like a fallen leaf and would let the wind carry me in his arms to everywhere where there is less of grief, suffering and horror. Less anger, more peace. A paradise for solitaire. A place to retreat, where surrender and dying becomes a sweet pleasurable pick.


But then, just minutes away from the real world, the truth would come flashing again. Torturing and haunting me. Inescapable, I succumb in defeat knowing there is nothing for me to do to heal the wounds that severs pain.


Then with the last straw of strength, I rise and look up the sky, and attempts a Superman fly. Or will I be overwhelmed by the Kryptonite again?

Not for everybody, for the wide-mind only

Maselang Bagay Ang Sumuso Ng Burat


Maselang bagay ang sumuso ng burat
Baka hindi mo magustuhan kaagad,
Huwag kang basta-basta mandadakma sa dilim
Kung ayaw mong masubo sa alanganin.
Huwag rin naman sanang magsisinungaling
Sa sariling nakakaalam ng hilig,
Gumagamit ng sukatang panlipunan
Nang hindi iniisip ang pinagmulan.


Maselang bagay ang sumuso ng burat
Hindi parang kaning madaling iluwat.
Dapat tama ang pagkakahugis ng bibig
At walang tulis ng ngiping sumasabit
Bukas din dapat ang daang-lalamunan
Para kung sumagad ay di mabubulunan.
Pag hindi pa siya napaungol sa sarap,
Baka naman ang pinapaltos mo'y sapsap.
Maghanap na lang ng ibang maturingan
Hitik ng sirena ang ating lipunan.


Maselang bagay ang sumuso ng burat
Hindi dapat iniaalok sa lahat.
At di totoo ang mga sabi-sabi
Na darang ang pag-ibig ng lakambini.
Kung ang hamak na pastol na katulad ko
Ay nakatagpo ng guwapong binatilyo.
Habang naglalakad sa may tabing-ilog,
Kinudlit niya ang gulok ng aking libog.
Matapos ang mainit na espadahan
Nagsumpaang wagas sa lilim ng buwan.


Maselang bagay ang sumuso ng burat
At langit ang makahanap ng katapat.
Mag-iiwan sana ng munting habilin
Payo lang naman, huwag sanang dibdibin
Ang marubdob at itim na paninira
Gawa ng santo-santong paniniwala.
Sapagkat ang sukatan ng pagkatao
Wala sa dunong, kulay o astang pabo.
Nasa pagkabusilak, pagkadakila
Ng tunay na pagmamahal sa kapwa.


Maselang bagay ang sumuso ng burat
Iyan ang kailangang malaman ng lahat,
Walang dahilang itago't pandirihan
Bumangon sa dilim aking kaibigan!
