Touch Flicks

di ko gusto yung poem. siguro di lang ako nakakarelate. pero maganda. magkaiba yun.. yung kagustuhan mo at ang ang palagay mo sa kagandahan ng isang bagay.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
by Wislawa Szymborska
(translated by Walter Whipple)

Both are convinced
that a sudden surge of emotion bound them together.
Beautiful is such a certainty,
but uncertainty is more beautiful.

Because they didn't know each other earlier, they suppose that
nothing was happening between them.
What of the streets, stairways and corridors
where they could have passed each other long ago?

I'd like to ask them
whether they remember--perhaps in a revolving door
ever being face to face?
an "excuse me" in a crowd
or a voice "wrong number" in the receiver.
But I know their answer:
no, they don't remember.

They'd be greatly astonished
to learn that for a long time
chance had been playing with them.

Not yet wholly ready
to transform into fate for them
it approached them, then backed off,
stood in their way
and, suppressing a giggle,
jumped to the side.


There were signs, signals:
but what of it if they were illegible.
Perhaps three years ago,
or last Tuesday did a certain leaflet fly
from shoulder to shoulder?

There was something lost and picked up.
Who knows but what it was a ball
in the bushes of childhood.

There were doorknobs and bells
on which earlier touch piled on touch.
Bags beside each other in the luggage room.
Perhaps they had the same dream on a certain night,
suddenly erased after waking.

Every beginning
is but a continuation,
and the book of events
is never more than half open.

pinapagawa kami ng isang love story sa creative writing. WALA AKONG INSPIRATION. nahihirapan na ako. wala akong maisip. isip isip isip isip isip. hindi siya normal na love story, yung meeting lang nila. parang yung poem na yan. ang galing nga ni sir eh. inspired ata. may dalawa kasing nagpapaxerox sa labas at nagawan niya ng love story. inspired. kunwari yung lalaki eh nagpapaxerox ng isang suicide letter para ibigay sa friends siguro. tas yung babae eh nagpapaxerox ng passport. may isang piece ng napagpalit ng nagxexerox. kaya yung suicidal, may nakuhang number at picture. yung may passport, may nakuhang suicide letter na andun yung lugar ng pagpapakamatayan at oras siguro. ewan. ang galing. gets niyo ba? ay ewan ulit.

gusto ko yung line na Beautiful is such a certainty, but uncertainty is more beautiful.

weee! let the dandelion of my feelings fly with the wind of destiny. yuck. kadiri.


di na ako maghahanap ng signs and symbols. bad un.
