that life of a sea eel

swimming around in the world where life matters the most
befriended with that drunk red choking crab
drooling over the star crescent
and swinging in the sound of an orchestra
forget the past if it only brings the best of you out of town
keep in mind that the world is only there for those who only care to die
let it toys you up in the head
so you can suave around and
down with all the lies that once shined down
the sky.
dance to the theatre of dreams
sing the lullaby of a thousand nights
if there is a bye keep it until the after
you might need then so use it there.

for all I care, I care
those I don't give a damn. be it.

gelap malam

kaki melangkah sama nada
menyusup jalan yang tidak bertanda tapi
hati keras memujuk teruskan sahaja.
mungkinkah?
atau hati itu bukan ia cuma bisikan syaitan yang
hanya suka menyesatkan?
tapi aku terus jalan sahaja.

Malam itu gelap.
tiada cahaya tapi aku nampak hujung sana ada bulan.
tap entah kenapa bulan nampak kecil sahaja.
malah tak seperti biasa,
cahaya bulan tak tersampai menerangi jalan aku.

entah lorong entah denai tapak kaki aku sentuh.
sebab tiada cahaya jadi jalan sahaja.
cukuplah dengan rasa selesa yang aku rasa
sebab aku tahu bila masa tiba
matahari tu muncul juga.

you

you are my Kalahari over sweet odour of spring
So vast with colours and smooth sultry of the wind

You are the music that whispers

that whispers in the month of May.

the one that dives

into my ears

over my long endless night.

and you...

I missed you like the heaven misses Adam and Eve.

How am I to stand above to compare me with thee.

for nothing that the universe has now is suffice to your nyphm beauty.

all that I bare now is complete

when you stand and I see.

For you are beautiful

and I am just me.

To the cloudy night I stand to the shadow of sheet

overlooking the joy that the world present

when you came within.

with you as an angel sent down to make me happy.

I will surely die as a humble mortal tale

of a thousand stories.

tunggu hujan turun

Hari itu yang mendung
guruh sudah mula bernyanyi
awan lari tutup matahari
aku masih memandang datang bintang.

hari itu yang mendung
aku mati menunggu waktu
masih termanggu persis manusia dungu
enggan berganjak dari tanah yang aku injak.

aku berdiri sambil jadi saksi
menunggu hujan yang masih
tak sudi teman aku
masih sombong memberitahu.

hari itu alam sepi
ada manusia ada semua
tapi masing-masing perhati aku
aku yang masih kaku berdiri.

ke kiri tak juga bergerak
ke kanan pun tidak jugak.
cuma menunggu rintik hujan timpa aku
dan terus memberitahu apa perlu aku tahu.

Hari itu darah berhenti gerak
nafas selesa dapat rehat
mata yang ada aku pandang sepuasnya.
tanpa kelip menatap awan gelap.

hari itu hujan turun bagai taufan
tanpa guruh tanpa petir berebut hujan pukul aku
tak terlepas seinci badan
basah semuanya tiada yang tinggal.

hari itu hujan datang
aku tersenyum.
berjalan darah ke seluruh badan
puas nafas bertiup menghidupkan aku.

bergerak kaki setapak ke depan
bersorak alam membisikkan kata pujian.
hujan yang datang membuka jalan
jalan yang aku tahu penuh dengan senyuman.

wasn't there

I was not far
I watched you from there
I smiled
because you looked priceless

I was there
though you didn't see me
though you didn't notice me
I was there as I once promised you.

I wanted to come and say hi
but I didn't have the guts
I wanted to give you this sense of happiness
but I was not there

I was there
looking at you
feeling close to you
like I used to.
