Feels like the first time

Turn back
just to get a stare
but the lights were too bright
to get a glare
before this was that expectation
that the resemblance
was pretty much akward
we took shots at each other
thinking the lines that we started off with
became that of our own liking
here's to all the the lies we made up
feels like the first time......

For Peace

This is a new poem I wrote today. It might not mean anything, but I'll explain it at the end. 

I'd smoke it 

but I would have

chocked it

I'd poke it 

but it's 

already boken 

The Fathwa Lingua 

of this society 

isn't what it is 

or is it even 

what it used to be 

We've leaned 

to hate! 

for what we have

made ourselves into 

A perception

only a caveman

could agree

A perception

of how man 

used to live 

I hate 

what changes they made 

to the world

I'm abused 

by the scattering 

gathering, forgetting 

what it was like 

to be alive 

I'd smoke it 

but I would have 

chocked it 

I'd poke it 

but it was 

already broken 

The Meaning of things 

 I'd smoke it 

but I would have chocked it 

Is how a head of the hunters would smoke after achieving something, but in the future, "the ones suited up" would choke on their smoke after they found out how much they've made out of money money laundring. 

I'd poke it 

ut it was 

already broken 

Is how an adventurer would find land to conquere but in the end "the ones suited up" gets it all f'ed 

 The rest Go figure.

Komunis Puitis

Menitis rokok
cair meja kayuku
berselindung cahaya
pandangan sejenak

pita malam mata duitan
mencatar waktu buku berselerak
hidup susah mati senang
tutup bahasa layang-layang

Bijih benih hancur bertaburan
jari terluka mengukur jalan
zaman penjajah sudah berubah
sejarah laju dari berita
figura Malaya durhaka bondanya
cukup waktu mengisi ruang
walaupun kaya makan sepinggan
tercabar minda kias berjalan
angkat sumpah pecah tembelang
terbicara alibi nota noktah!
minyak jatuh timbul tenggelam
malam berlabuh tanpa sinar
kata semangat dilarutkan hujan

To whom it may concern

Once you've gotten hold
of what's left
you wouldn't want
to let go
for that day
when everything went wrong
has gone
forbid me from lies
despite nothing I said was right
I've tried fighting
but I've lost once too many times
the fear of failure is unbreakable
but it's better to fail the first try
then the next time around

Mengejar bintang di langit

Mengejar bintang di langit adalah inspirasi dari sebuah lagu dari band saya yang bernama Sakti. Ia mengisahkan satu perpisahan yang teramat sedih. Puisinya berbunyi begini...

Ku melonjak dari mimpi
menjelang dewasa ini
siapa yang menyangka
ku cari jawapanya
yang itu bukan dia
yang ini bukan kita
yang hanya membuta
bukan cinta sebenar
atau
kau hanya mungkin
memberi sebanyak itu
tanpa arah menentu
hanya itu ku tahu
menyuluh gemerlapan pagi
menanti yang tak dipasti
mencari yang menyepi
dan ku akan tetap
mengejar bintang di langit

Lyrics Mengejar bintang di langit

Diriku
seperti dirimu
menjadi satu harapan
mengapa kau kembali
dan kita
hilang bersasama
dan kita
hanya berdua

hatiku
memegang janjimu
melafazkan tanda tanya
apa itu yang kau mahu
walaupun
diriku tahu
dirimu
bukan yang sepertinya
dahulu

kau
yang ingin berlari pergi
menunggu yang tak dipasti
mencari yang menyepi
dan ku
mengajar bintang di langit
untuk tahu sebenarnya
kebenaran dalam cinta
