Aku tak mahu tidor

Semalaman
ku terjaga
memuaskan nafsu
berkata-kata
merangkul subuh
lupakan saja
aku tak tegar
menutup mata

A smile whip lashed
from her face
eyes furious
from amazed
the time that struck
took too long
abide a season's winter
hiding from the sun
embrace shadows
lighting feud
fuel to fire
harmonious embezzlement
specimens of
concrete truth in lies

I still think of her smile
every now and then
and that smile will always
remind me of her

The faded morning
of the sun
beautiful
to the eyes of one
simplified but magnified
a trillion times
mystique, complicated
unique, comprehended
non could touch the stars
or blink for a moment without
your hands trembling
showing to the south
as the journey departed
the praying goes on
half hearted heroes
keeping strong
for a road
that leads back home

Sangsi

Sambungan dari puisi "Aku ada disana"

Sangsiku
ke mana engkau pergi
langit gelap
matahari
kepastian yang pasti
kan datang
cuma waktu yang membilang
gerak geri cinta
sengaja ku hitung
tapi tak sengaja ku diam
langit ku junjung
ku pegang
tapi mata yang merasa
kepahitan

Sangsi...
lupakan diriku ini

We, the leaders of tomorrow

Why does the carcass
burn fire
red and black
hatred and desire

Why does our gun
speak the leaders
turn nations into prisons
for the will of our own future

Why does our men
serve for a believe
a cause served to bleed

why do we rob
our own brothers
and make excuses
that there was never peace
in our land

We are the providers of hate
we are the ignorant
we are grandsons to the corrupted
we
the leaders of tomorrow

Mati

Sebentar lagi aku pergi
jauh dari kenanganmu
jauh dari mimpi-mimpi
jauh dari dirimu

aku pasti
tak kembali
menaruh harapan
tak bererti

di balik itu
aku terfikir
seolah terjadi
semuanya yang sepi

detik-detik akhir
nafas udara
tercelar
aku dibiar
begitu sahaja

untuk mati

Blasphemy

monotomy
brilliant green
satin
life like
untaken
and unshaken
beauty withtakes
what beauty embrace
oddly subsequent
inefficient
interwine inperfection
alas
the times spent
morover
passionate
priceless
quiet and unaware
untill it all
dispurse
into despair

the light
of blue
a blur line
of me
and you

My own

Black
is my colour right now
brown is my heart
blue are my eyes
red is my skin
yellow are my emotions
in a nicotine filled room
tender blessed takings
i am pure
but to you dirty
i am sceptical
and again
afraid
afraid to die alone
it was as if
yesterday
I had fallen in love
but now
again
unlike how it used to be
unprepared
protected by my own
insecurities

Paintbox

Written for two people that recently fell in love.

Box of colours
you bought
you bought me flowers
you brought me joy
unexpected joy
I have you
and I have you
to love
I can see it in your eyes
I could hold you in my arms
and now
its finally true
that you
brought me love
you...
bring me happiness
and I
have you
and only you
to be with
