Brighten My Life

I was torn
I was wounded
Faking was my option
Faking was my resort

Each day was dreadful
Each step hurts badly
I was hanging loosely
I was falling down

And then I got a delivery
A package was sent to me

Among the thorny roses
I planted you
Among the thorny roses
You bloomed

My bright Sunflower.

Sometimes we don't realize the small things in life. We do not appreciate what God gave us, the sudden encounter, the sudden stranger smiling at us, the hidden glances of those who secretly admires us, nor the big offering right in front of us. Sometimes, we just need to relax and let God handle us. Allow Him to shower us with His gift of life.

A Lady's Choice

She stood tall
Among the fallen flowers.
Her grace befalls me
Bathed me with her charms.

She talks of knowledge
Of the world's wisdom.
I bow to the intelligence
I'm awed of her presence.

She sold her heart
It was fed to the wolves.
White blood turned dark
Her soul flew away.

She stood tall
Among the chaotic crowd.
Tip toeing, waving her flimsy hands
Attracting the wolves on stage.


*Inspired by a girl I once looked up to. A girl who sadly, fell into the dark pit of false companionship.

Shattered Stance

Forgive, forgive, forgive

You lied
Your speeches covered
Your gestures planned
You fabricate facts
Your world is a propaganda

and yet I
forgive, forgive, forgive.

You slipped
I fell, broken
You defy and snubbed
I crawled back up,
alone.

Again I,
forgive, forgive, forgive.

You left
You're gone
You're happy
You used me
You knew

Why do I still
forgive, forgive, forgive.

Wanita Biasa

Kemerahan pancaran wajahmu
Sama bara api amarahmu
Kau cuba menahan pikulan kehampaanmu
Namun kau wanita biasa
Cucuran air jernih membasahi muka

Walau sudah kau jangka
Keperitannya jelas tak terdaya
Tidak mampu kau menolak
Tidak mampu kau menduga
Keputusannya hanya satu
Pintu si dia sudah tertutup buatmu

Namun kau masih wanita biasa

Kemerahan pancaran wajahmu
Sama bara api amarahmu
Kau cuba menahan pikulan kehampaanmu
Namun kau wanita biasa
Cucuran air jernih membasahi muka

Memori kau dan dia

Terasa pedih disimpan kini

Tidak mampu kau menunggu

Tidak mampu kau bayangkan

Keegoanmu menutupi pemikiran

Hati mu lantas kau kosongkan

Jeritanmu tapisan bantal

Basah, lunyai dek tangisan yang disertai

Kerana kau wanita biasa

Kemerahan pancaran keseluruhanmu

Sama bara apa yang dahulunya

Kasihmu

Kau cuba menahan pikulan kehampaanmu

Namun kau wanita biasa

Cucuran air jernih membasahi muka

disambut lembut bunga bunga kapas

Was attempting on writing a Malay song but I forgot how I don't play any instruments....

So here's the lyrics only!

Do comments if you want the translation :)

I Will Not Draw

I learned languages today.
Carvings were important in those days
On bones
On shells
Hard surfaces like nowadays clay.

I learned languages modification.
It starts with an imagination
Then pictures turned perfection
Defining story
Defining worry
Of everyday life's expectation.

I learned languages' harmony.
The curves of the tongue creating irony
Accumulation became poetry
Captivating arts
Captivating hearts
Drawing found globally.

You are languages to me
Picture formed in my eyes
Pretty, soft sketches
But I will not draw you
For I will selfishly,
Refuse sharing you.
