AMNESIAC BARD

AMNESIAC BARD
By Wilson Niñofranco Guntang

Lyrics, rhymes and mind’s empty spaces
Like a rhythm blown away from song’s perpetual melody
Numb from neurotic impulses scribbling the quill
Or no thoughts of profound simplicity ever comes to him

Quill, paper, ink and uncharted stokes
Never thinking the visitation of a loss to compose
Muttered complexity of bursting frustration
Yet none was started out from the forsaken symphony

Déjà vu, identity and life’s puzzle pieces
A tour to the past to unveil the mysterious person’s ability
Then riddle me this, what is full of hole but can hold water?
The enigma of gathering the portions of the whole memory

Remember, rekindle and forgiveness to the cause
In figuring that there’s no mental lapse occurred
It’s all coming back that it was the bard who abandoned the quest
A diversified life that heist the eloquent advocacy of a magnum opus

But where to embark on? The question is
Now that the dismembered memory returned for a writing fervor
Ah! Inspiration! The rationale for a composition
The unsung figure of a melodramatic lyricist

Then the quill writes to forever
And there it is again, a smile on each stroked letter
A beginning from the deserted experience started the line
To learn by heart the incident happened to this author
