Beloved


I would spin the sea-spray
fashioning a belt for you


I would braid the rolling waves
to spread a sleeping mat for you


I would weave of the clouds
a shawl to cover the hair of you


I would stitch the mountain breeze
into an evening-gown for you


I would pluck from the eastern star
a brooch to adorn the breast of you


I would shake down the eclipsed moon
for a lamp to light my longing


I would feel the sun
into a sea of night for you
breathing the honeyed sweetness of you


Beloved, 
Count the dreams
That slew the truth
With their false paradise

Words couldn't quite describe what you are to me. A friend? A twin? A sibling? A sister? A reflection ? ... or just another human being? I remember vividly that one afternoon when your grandma came and brought you a pair of white shoes. I think, that was the moment I started to know you. We clicked right away and the rest is history. Among many things I like about us includes the different beings that we are, as an individual. Very true, we are divided by the end of spectrum, surrounding thoughts and view of life in general. But somehow, we have always shared a common ground and managed to preserve what we ought to. Many years with you have been a roller-coaster. We need not fancy outings nor conversing all day everyday, yet, we always find the way to each other's path when it is direly needed. We shared everything but nothing.  Although sometimes, silence is the best story-teller. Now, in the middle of the journey, I think I could figure who yo

Bismillah. Sitting on the sofa while listening to my favorite song, slow rhythm flowing through my ears. Ouh peacefully. The rhythm just perfectly touched my heart.  I been thinking to all good times I've been through. The all sweet moments in my life. But suddenly I remember this one thing. This one bad thing happened to me long time ago. Ingat lagi dulu masa 6 tahun rasanya, my friends and I were cycling and I accidentally knocked down. Terseret dekat jalan tar untuk beberapa meter sebab masa tu tengah turun dari jalan berbukit jadi terseret dia agak jauh. Berdarah-darah muka, tangan, kaki semualah. Sakit. Masa tu dah takut. Bukan takut ada patah mana mana part tapi takut kena marah dengan mama.  Sebab takut saya tak balik rumah terus tapi pergi rumah orang jaga dulu. Bila mak (panggilan untuk orang jaga saya) tengok saya dah berdarah apa semua dia pun terkejutlah sebab saya tak pernah macam ni. Saya bukan budak yang selalu duduk luar main pondok pondok se

Letters

At times, you contemplate where is your life going. For the purpose of knowing, you wondering and wandering around quest for the meaning. You stumble upon many blocks, shaking up your way and on those bumpy road, you stuck.  However the journey continues, albeit the difficulties you went through. It only indicates that you are capable of doing it and that means you have just unlocked your limit. Believe in yourself, and keep going. God is there besides you, and within you. Ask away, you won't be fooled.  For the matter of heart, you know what is right. Find the peace you are longing, in the misty dawn of nights and mornings, also between the reading. Let go of what stopping you from the happiness and the truth, and move forward for something new and greater you.  Behold, your peace of mind matters, and if that lingers and bugs you so much that it hurts, leave.  Open up your soul and feeling for something that is worthy. For you are too priceless to be taken gr
