wishful...

my moon has gone hiding
behind the morning clouds
blinking silently
glowing softly
her soothing ray

no gallant attire
could disguise her
the lovely moon
in sad in sorrow
beautifully glow

no worshipping
merely admiring
oh how i wanna be you
my morning moon
in hiding and glowing...

in a flash

o thee
a dreamer's dream
is a wild stallion tamed
gentle graceful gallops
and disappeared  into the night.

coma

It is an open wound

The day it rained

The sky flooded

 and drought hit the land

no stitches would do

on that rainy day

 a million dams failed

a thousand oceans drained

humbling ego

cried arrogantly

it was not a lesson learnt

it was just conscious ignorance

that early morning

The morning moon looked at me as i gazed up
my heart skipped a beat and then fluttered
the accompanying stars sparkling smiles
sent shivers of joy and amazement

the morning sky
promises happiness
millions of prayers answered
i see love and warmth everywhere

the morning breeze
embraced me
and i shuddered..
fulfillment of desire.

How to live with the fish in the sea

Fishy sea salty fish
being in the sea with all the fish

watching the fish
watching the sea
why are the fish
living in the sea

watching the sea
watching the fish
why aren't the sea
drowning the fish

tasting the fish
tasting the sea
why are the fish
so different from the sea

tasting the sea
tasting the fish
why aren't the sea
salting the fish

swimming with the fish
swimming in the sea
why can't i live with the fish
why is the sea drowning me?

oh i am just a fish
out of the sea.

Symphony of depression

And I saw my life ambled away
Taking away with her
Youth, strength and dreams
And tears that would not fall
Drowned me.
Despair and desperation mercilessly invaded
Taking over the empty spaces
And the throat dried
the silent screams
Mute and unheard
The sound of heartbeat thumping vigorously
Accompanied the melody of shivers
Sticky, salty palms danced to the orchestra
And suddenly all the butterflies in my guts
Flew out all at once
The two eyelids were the heaviest load
Yet they refused to let go
Persevering through the night
Have I grown fatter for the chest felt tighter
Down my spine I knew this is wrong
Everything is chaotic here
When will I gain control?

ikan dan lautan

benarkah ikan itu
benihnya kedukaan
yang berenang
dalam lautan semasin airmata
tumpah melimpah

semakin dalam lautan
semakin masin ia
semakin pelbagai ikannya
berenang menyelam
memeram

apakah ikan itu
penapis duka
tawar pula isinya
berenang-renang dalam titisan
memedihkan mata

pedihkah mata ikan
sepedih mata ini
membuak lautan air masin
membanjiri alam keliling
di mana ikan-ikan itu?

Fasa Gerhana

Telah ku dengar suara gunung nun jauh di sana
Terlalu sunyi keriuhan kota ini
telah ku lihat lambaian dedaunan di rimba
lapang benar sesak kota ini
jalanku terlalu banyak liku sehingga aku meluncur laju
tak tahu arah tuju

peta-peta menyesatkan
mana panduan mana pemandu
aku sedang melayang laju
suara gunung kuat menggegarkan
lambaian dedaunan rimba memedihkan mata

terlalu banyak cinta di dunia tanpa penghuni
terlalu kurang santapan untuk jiwa-jiwa kelaparan
kegilaan menjadi-jadi di ruang waras
aku hilang arah dalam gerhana
ketika bulan begitu jauh dari mentari
menggapai-gapai lemas dalam emosi.

Keluh

Apa jadi apabila doh yang diuli sepatutnya menjadi roti hanya menjadi lempeng?
Tapi lempeng masih boleh dimakan
Apa jadi jika kopi yang dibancuh teh pula yang terasa?
Masih boleh minum kalau dahaga
Apa jadi kalau kacang botol kutanam yang tumbuh pegaga?
Ulam juga ia boleh buat pembuka selera
Apa jadi ketika bas kutunggu teksi yang tiba?
Kalau nak lekas itulah sebaiknya
Apa jadi waktu ku harapkan pangkat kenaikan gaji pula yang kudapat?
Itu lebih bagus duit lebih tanggungjawab sama
Adakah sama segala perbandingan jika anak yang dididik dengan agama, kasih dan manja
Di harap jadi manusia soleh dan berguna
Menentang segala apa untuk seronok dunia
Apa bisa kutelan segalanya?
