Lost and Now Found

Image
Some of my Malay poems, written 16 years ago. Found them in one of my old diaries. DI KAMAR SEPI Di kamar sepi, terlantar duka Masih mencari-cari, masih tertanya-tanya Bagaimana kehilangan bisa terjadi Antara dua insan saling mengasihi. Gugur dan layu dihembus sang bayu Kehilangan masih dirasai Biarpun masa silih berganti Namun kedukaan masih terpahat di hati. Kini... Mentari cerah kembali Mengharapkan sebuah sinaran yang pasti Tetapi... Apakah kasih sayang setulus hati Yang suatu ketika pernah kumiliki Akan menjadi milikku lagi? HARAPAN ATAS SEBUAH KEGAGALAN Atas kejatuhan nan lalu Atas kehancuran nan lepas Kugagahi terus melangkah Meninggalkan nostalgia Manis bagai madu, dibelai mesra selalu Pahit bagai hempedu, tertusuk duri sembilu Kumara jua kehadapan Tanpa menoleh kebelakang Harapan setinggi gunung Agar mentari yang bersinar kini Menyingkir awan kelabu yang menyelubungi Pergi jauh dari pinggir hati... LUKISAN SEBUAH POHON HATI Perasaan baru menghijau Kasih mula berputik Rindu kia...

Happy Birthday Beloved PM

Image
Today is his 69th birthday. When asked what does he want for his birthday, he replied, "nothing expensive". A very humble person he is. That is one of his many good qualities. The following short and simple poem is dedicated to this humble and respected man, though the person himself may not read it. Nothing expensive from me. My jackets are made of leather, My cups are made of porcelain clay, Storm or sunshine, any kinds of weather, May the Lord bestows upon you a blissful and prosperous birthday! Happy birthday dear Prime Minister. It is sad to know the hardship you have gone through in your political life, but at the same time I am impressed with your strong personality in facing those calamities. May you have a smooth sailing in your journey of life. ~Swan Princess~

The Greatest Gift

Love is the greatest gift of all. The gift that keeps me going through the rough times, offers me shelter from the storm, the anchor of my soul. I am grateful to the Almighty for the gift I found in you. Grasias mi vida. Esta canción es para ti.

"Caída Para Usted"

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you, Over again, don't make me change my mind, Or I won't live to see another day, I swear it's true... Oh yes indeed!!
