Let Me Write IT.

Posted by The Midnight Writer at 6:30 AM

Filed under: Poetry

I've been told a number of times....

I KNOW.

My language is English and not American.

My vocabulary is elitist.

Ang aking irog ay Tagalog; mon intelligence en Français; an sakong kalag, Bicol.

(My love is Tagalog; my intellect, in French; my soul, Bicol)

I never claimed to be the best; only that I can write.

To create and communicate.

AND SO I WRITE.

REPONSE, s'il vous plaît

........i'm just another writer still trapped within my truth........

i have forgotten about what it is to write...
to catch that in-between the silence and the heart’s beating…
and go about that divide which separates shadow from the ground…
Writing, my first love!
and so, i write. répondez s’il vous plaît.

naling'wan ko na kun pa'no an mag surat...
kun pa'no mahagilap an uya sa tahao kan kasilenciohan asin pag-ibot kan puso...
buda malakop iyan na nagbabanga sa anino asin daga...
An Pagsurat, sakuyang enot na pagkamoot!
biyo logod, ako minasurat. magsimbag ka.

Daragang Minagayon

Among the legends of Kabikulan are the stories on the origin of the world-famous Mayon Volcano. The popular belief is that this majestic landmark has risen out of the grave of its beloved native princess, Daragang Magayon.

I take pride in the rich culture and heritage of my ethnicity, and owe it to the proximity of Legazpi City to the foot of Mount Mayon, that I muse and sign by the name of Daragang Minagayon.
