He is for you.

Swept along

In a world that’s dancing

to a meaningless beat

The current is strong

Can you hold on

To the one song

Your heart used to sing.


Your ideals

Swayed by reality

Your goals

Now lack clarity


Be still and know

You, in your world,

orbiting a star -

one of the millions

in a galaxy -

one of the millions

in the universe,

are loved.


By none other

than the Creator.

Not Enough

Sore limbs
Bruised knuckles
Bloody eyes
Ragged breath
Jagged teeth
Man in motion
As fluid as poetry
Senility of the sentry
Residing in the sanctum
Sanctions and semantics
Cerebellum cerebella
Erasing data
Like an impulsive medula oblongata
Itchy chin
Explosion of emotions
Tired of these songs
On this boring radio

Mesti Mau

Walau jauh kau menjelajah alam semesta
Ku tahu jawapannya
Walau apa jua rintangan yang melanda
Kita sudah siap sedia

Luahkanlah isi hatimu
Agar kita bersama
Kuatkanlah pendirian
Bila kita hadapi dunia

Yang ku mahu hanyalah kamu
Bersamamu selalu whoa oh
Jauh jelajah kau kelana
Kita kan tetap bersama

Bila lidah hakimi ketika berbicara
Engkau tak perlu gusar
Ku kenali warna hatimu yang sebenar
Tak usah pura-pura

Cekalkanlah isi hatimu
Hadapi dugaanNya
Kuatkanlah pendirian
Agar dunia milik kita bersama

Yang ku mahu hanyalah kamu
Bersamamu selalu whoa oh
Jauh jelajah kau kelana
Kita kan tetap bersama

Can't Stand

A song I composed in the solitude of Brunei, where friends and family (and at that time lover) were out of reach. Perhaps, someday, I will video myself and post it on YouTube or something.

****

The orange glow from the setting sun
Crawls up your soft arms
You look at me with those beautiful eyes
And capture me once again

The purple skies and radiant stars
Remind me of your gentle voice
I draw you close enough to hear your breath
But still, you're just a dream

And you've got me sitting here
Thinking about
You
I want to hold your hand
I want to hear your laugh

I can't stand
These lonely days without you by my side
I can't wait
To see your face again
I can't stand
These lonely nights without you by my side
I can't wait
To hear your stories

I miss you

Second Hand Seven

Grab a helium-filled balloon
It could be blue
So it could hide among the skies

Take a jump and never look down
Let's fly and fly to the moon
If you're tired then let's rest

A tight slumber up in the clouds
But meanwhile I'm in bed
Itchy uniform and pin in my wrist

Sounds a lil silly
But still it was something she said to me
That Seven is a magic number

Now as I'm about to close my eyes
I start wonder
About this Seven the Magic Number

Can I just get one for myself?
Like my sky-blue balloon
I won't mind even if it was

A Second Hand Seven

How Do I Love Thee?

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, -- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

-Elizabeth Barrett Browning-
