stand by me

Alone i'm sitting in the dark chamber,
doing nothing but only sitting,
waiting for long but noone ever pay a visit.
i can't even count the day and month,
might be i'm here for years.
i'm sad, i'm so sad.
i've been forgotten by those
who used to love me,

suddenly you come to me from nowhere,
like an angel from the heaven,
you stand by me with a candle on your right,
and a plate of care and a glass of love on your left.
i try to stand and hold your hand,
but then, you disappeared and the room
is in the darkness again.

i wait again,
when it would be the time for you
to stand by me again?

PUT YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDER -Paul Anka

Put your head on my shoulder,
Hold me in your arms, baby
Squeeze me oh so tight , baby
Show me that you love me too.
Put your lips close to mine, dear,
Won't you kiss me once, baby?

Just a kiss goodnight, baby
Maybe you and I will fall in love.
People say love's a game
A game you just can't win.
If there's a way, I'll find it someday,
And then this fool will rush in,

Put your head on my shoulder,
Hold me in your arms, ba--by
Squeeze me oh so tight, show me.
Put your head on my shoulder.

empty

empty box is emptied
with empty papers,
and empty box is placed
in an empty room.
the empty room
is in an empty house,
and the empty house
is the only empty house
in a village called,
Empty Ville.

and now,
the empty house
is empty again
because the owner
has empty mind.

hari minggu yang boring

bertanya khabar pada mentari yang menyinar,
bersalaman dengan dedaunan hijau pohon bunga,
berbual mesra dengan orkid, kertas dan raya,
bersiram dengan rumput di laman,
bersantap dengan kucing mengiau berlegar di kain.

kereta diam membisu,
basikal duduk kaku,
motorsikal tayarnya batu,
kereta tolak ketawa terpaku.

surat khabar membaca berita,
sedih tawa, riang duka.
perang aman, damai berontak.
drama kehidupan di televisyen,
temanya cinta, cinta, dan cinta.
juruhebah menyorok dalam radio,
dengan irama dan lagu dari seberang.

Kiblat

tegak berdiri menghadap satu kiblat,
entah benar entah tidak,
tiada siapa ambil peduli.
asal yang tegak berdiri rasa benar,
benarlah ia, jika salah maka salahlah.
kadang kala dahinya dihala ke utara
dan kadang kala malunya tunjuk ke timur.
kadang kala telunjuknya mahu ke selatan
sedangkan kelingkingnya ingin ke barat.

tegak berdiri menghadap satu kiblat,
namun anggota tiada pernah sepakat.

holiday (ii)

it's holiday again
and it's longer than before.
never been a 3-months holiday
in my life
thus this is my first time ever.

sitting on benches in front of my house,
i've started to think,
how am i going to finish it
as it has already started?

Bharat :-)

hamparan hijau daun-daun teh
menggamit jiwa saujana
mata memandang.
deruan enjin mesin
menyapa kutip segala
hijauan yang tua.
bayu sejuk membelai pipiku
memberi satu aroma
dan rasa yang enak.
sendiri, kuhirup sedikit
secangkir teh strawberi
bernilai cuma sekeping
not biru.
sendiri, ku melangut mengadap
sebukit daun teh
yang belum lagi sedia dipetik.

words for (your) father

though we're not close
like a father and a son,
though i only met you twice
still i can recognize you.
you are strong
and of course, not weak.
you can beat your tiredness
you can beat your weaknesses.
but, today
you're fighting with something
that even I can't give my hands
to wake you up.

you impress me with your strength
you boost up my confidence
with your strength
you motivate me with your strength
you make me realize the importance
of being myself
also with your strength

i'm only a son of someone else
but spending my little time with you
i feel like you are the someone else.
i don't know what makes me feel like that
but perhaps,
a love of me
lessen a pain of you

~::dedicated to a father whom I admire his strength and determination...
