What

By George P. Lumayag

i want to play a guitar
but it has only four strings
and it’s useless to play on it
because harmony is missing.

i want to utter the words
but i have no knowledge,
i have the newly coined words, and it’s neologism
without meaning for someone’s mind.

i want to engage in painting
that i aim to draw a lady,
but i’m confused in sketching
because i have no canvas to be painted.

i want to portray it in the sky,
to write it in the ocean, to sketch it in the valley,
to give light the doom, and to talk to the rain
that  i have something to say….
