Tentang Harapan

Aku sebenarnya kusut dan ralat
terhadap apa yang telah kutemui di sini.

Sejalur cahaya halus
dan nipis
menembusi ruang
yang gelap dan sempit.
Seolah-olah menjanjikan terang
yang meliputi.
Tetapi hanya tinggal sejalur cahaya
nipis dan semakin kusam.

Yang aku harapkan
adalah matahari,
terangnya melangkaui cakerawala
melepasi galaksi,
ke penghujung semesta.

Selingkar air menyulur
di dalam parit.
Seolah-olah menjanjikan
tasik yang penuh melimpah
di penghujungnya.
Tetapi kekal hanya air di parit yang
sebentar nanti akan
kering dan lenyap.

Yang aku harapkan
adalah lautan luas
dan tenang.
Tertebar bebas melepasi sayang-sayap unggas,
ke penghujung horizon.

Aku yang mungkin sempit,
dan mampu hanya
bermimpi,
tentang sesuatu yang tidak mungkin
akan terjadi di sini.

Shadow

O illusive friend
embrace me;
won't you stay here
just for a bit longer
and make me forget
of this gaping emptiness.

How I wish
that you don't ever have to go
that I don't have to feel the cold
of your absence
all over again.

With A Trembling Heart

Dear God

Please let me pass through this
with my two feet still walking
and my hands facing up
in search of spaces
where there is You

So that I will still feel
that I'm not alone in this
And that I have the courage
to do what I've meant to do

A Poison Tree

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
 
And I watered it in fears
Night and morning with my tears,
And I sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles.
 
And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright,
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,--
 
And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning, glad, I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

Map of the Problematique



Fear and panic in the air
I want to be free
From desolation and despair

And I feel
like everything I sow
is being swept away
well I refuse to let you go

I can't get it right
since I met you

Loneliness be over
when will this loneliness be over

Life will flash before my eyes
so scattered and lost
I want to touch the other side

No one
thinks they are to blame
why can't we see
when we bleed
we bleed the same

I can't get it right
since I met you

Loneliness be over
when will this loneliness be over

Gugur

Kasih
Kau bukan kekasihku
Lantas harus aku berputus asa padamu
Kerana kau sudah sempurna
dan aku tidak bisa melengkapimu
