Bahtera Kehidupan

Kau kusayangi
tanpa keraguan
bila jantungku berdegup
cinta kita bersemi

Kau bak bayang-bayang
semakinku dekat

semakin kau pergi

yakinlah

 

ku layang-layang bertali

kau gemgam kau kudatangi

kau kupu-kupu bebas

jauh terbang biarpun di sini

 

Ku tetap akan menjagamu

ku tetap akan menyayangimu

ku yakin kau akan bersamaku

melayari bahtera kehidupan

We are on the verge of…

collapsing,

being declared a bankrupt,

bankrupt of ideas

bankrupt of money,

ruining what was good,

expelling the good

receiving the bad.

destruction

mayhem

death

Why?

Why?

Do i hurt you

when it is you that

I love

 

Why

Does thoughts

keep pouring in

when it is not invited

 

Why

am I such

for I am not

as such

 

Well one day

answer that I seek

for shall

present itself

Kau Pergi Bak Dedaunan Kering

Kau berselindung

dicelah panahan mentari

dedaunan hijau

kukuh di dahan

 

Datang sang angin

tiup dan terus meniup

kau goyang dan goyah

dia terus meniup

 

Kau kini daunan kering

di pegang oleh tangkai

terungkai

terumbang ambing

 

Tiba-tiba

guruh berbunyi

air turun menyimbah bumi

lalu kau hijau kembali

Marah

“Tak hormat orang langsung!” kata-kata itu terpacul dari mulut Ikhwan. Hatinya terguris dengan perbandingan yang dibuat oleh Kamelia terhadap dirinya dan Nabil. Ikhwan sayangkan Kamelia tetapi Kamelia telah menghinanya. Satu penghinaan yang tidak bisa untuk Ikhwan maafkan. Tak dapat digambarkan betapa remuknya hatinya. Rasa marahnya terhadap Kamelia meluap-luap. Hembusan nafasnya bak lembu jantan yang teruja oleh kain merah yang mahu diterkamnya.

Pergi

Mengapa menyakiti

yang kita pilih

sedangkan cinta

itu indah

 

mengapa kita

perlu memusuh

pada kedamaian

itu perpaduan

 

engkau selalu

menyakiti aku

pergilah

pergi

Adakah Untukku

Adakah untukku

harta berjuta

kesenangan

 melimpah

 

Adakah untukku

kebahagiaan hakiki

pemilik abadi

jasad di bumi

 

 

Adakah untukku

ruang disisiMu

tempat teduhku

tadahan tangisku

 

Adakah untukku

ruang menyedari

memperbaiki

azali kembali

Jalan yang ku ambil

Jalan ini kuambil

penuh liku

namunku ambil jua

kernaku berharap

Jalan ini kuambil

dalam kegelapan

kusuluh kulihat

namun di depan masih samar

Jalan ini kuambil

demi lengkap

ruang kosong

di sudut sanubari

Jalan ini kuambil

kerna Dia

itulah hakikatnya

itulah hakiki

The end of a begining

For it is I who chose this road

May it lead to happiness

Fot it is happiness

that I seek

 

May there be hope there

at the end of the road

better still …

hope all around the corners

 

A choice had to be made

and made it I have

fear creeps in

confidence took the train

 

I believe down and deep inside

the choice is the right one

the road I am taking is the best one

for my life will be ajolly one

We are different

We are different but we need each other. In a plural society though some may label or stereotype a certain group but the truth is if we take away that certain group, we would be missing an integral part of society. Just like in this never ending debate about men and women. Men can never understand women and women can never understand men. Let’s imagine a senario where we understand each other perfectly. Before man could leave a mug on the table the woman would not allow the man to even drink at all it would save the effort of cleaning  up after! Before you could read the newspaper, the chatterbox beside  you  would actually  reveal  what’s in the news today to save time!

When it is shopping time notice how women when they want to buy things they will look at several shops at the same items and after several hours of the tireless shopping (vice versa for men!) they decide to buy it at the first shop you entered! Hmm… if men knew what women were about to do.. then we will enter the shop, but the item and get outta there… Notice how women always find ways to irritate you or ask you to do errands during an exciting game of  football. It is in their genes to do so..

The toilet should also have some some of sensor for men and women.  Menathingy, toilet seat up, women with big bottoms coming, toilet seat down.

Well back to my point, though we are different, we should enjoy our differences and make this world a better place.

Love Complicates Emotions

I noticed new relationships around me and to tell you the truth..it is

good to see that love is in the air. The birds are chirping, the rain falls

on heads that actually don’t really care…and hearts pound faster

following the irregular heart attack of love! Well,as friends, you don’t

really care what the other party is doing but as a girlfriend..hmm you

realize that he has far too many girlfriends. What did not matter in the

beginning starts to irritate you. From a male’s point of view, the

partner seems to point out too many negative things about you and

you start questioning yourself..”Am I that disgusting, if I am… then

why does she blatantly declare you are the love of my life instead of

every inch of you irritates me!

(this is just a thought and not related to anyone in particular ha ha need to save my skin just in case if you think I am writing about you… if you are thinking that way.. then it is NOT YOU! I may continue writing on this issue if it interest you.)

Make Us Proud

The act of being open has exposed the country too much. To be heroes of a certain race, one tend to go overboard in criticising another, thus making it seem as if the country is in chaotic condition, some may argue, so I’ll choose the word ‘confused’ rather than ‘chaotic’. The need to discuss is there but it should be behind closed doors and not through the newspapers. As members of parliment, you should know better. You are wakil rakyat or representatives of the people. As our representatives make us proud and not ashamed of you!

Senyap

Suasana hening

tiada bunyi

tiada hiruk pikuk

kosong

 

Jantung berdegup kencang

bagaikan berlari keluar

dari tulang yang menyelubungi

terperangkap sepi

 

Aku diam

tanpa berkata

mulutku dikunci

gari bernyawa

 

kau senyap

kita senyap

semua senyap

kita lihat

Land

This land in which i stand

is me; i am this land

for I am born here

on this very street

 

I share this land

with people before me

and those also who

forefathers set foot here

 

Though we are different

we share the same land

I seem to love it more than

you; or you more than me

 

For it is we who

should protect it together

we should treasure it

so our children can be part

 

of the land too.

Kawan

Aku melihat cermin,

bayang kawanku menjelma,

suatu arca

yang maya

 

Aku pegang cermin itu

dia tiada

dalam ingatan

wujud kekuatannya.

 

Dalam cermin

kulihat perubahan

pada diriku

ada maya tanpa jasad

 

Kupulang kudatangi

tanah tumpah sungai

naluri hati

terus mengalir
