Hey, Hear Me Out

 I told my neighbour yesterday

That Anna from 2 doors down had a man over

Unbeknownst to her husband

Who had been away for days

Huh? Oh, for I haven't had jogged pass him at all this week!


I went over to her house immediately

When I saw Derek passed out by the pool

Flushed red cheeks screaming how much he had fun, obviously 

Surely..., day drinking and experimenting stuffs

Ughh, with no other than that muscled friend of his


Left my neighbour a voicemail as she didn't pick up

Oh my God did you know what happened?

Stella bought so many new insurances! 

Hurry, buckle up your seat ladies

A dead husband is coming our way soon!


I went to my neighbour's just now

It's pitch black outside but I saw it

Richie sneaking pass his lawn to Anna's kitchen

In her nightgown she welcomed him

See, what did I told you before?!

 

Some came to me by the news

Some you called in to 'inform' me

Some just stared me right in the eyes as I opened my front door in the morning

 

It was their house doctor

Visiting Anna's husband at home

as he had been down with a bad cold

 

Derek had a swimming coach that day

As he was struggling to breathe due to overexertion

 while you stopped me to ring the ambulance just in time


She did not come from money

So when she was finally promoted after 10 years of working

Stella bought her first ever insurances, for the whole family


They had been married for 8 years

A homemade lemon cake craved by an eight-month-belly

and be damned, Anna bakes real good


I never knew why my neighbours never stayed

I made all efforts to befriend them

Updated them daily fearing they might missed it

Busy working or even baking

like my ex-neighbour now 2 doors down

Nafsu

kecil-kecil cili padi

percikan api halus tersembunyi

di antara dedaun kering

hujan tiada menyembah bumi


tumbuhnya perlahan namun pasti

rumpai degil racun tak berhasil

meminjam baja buka miliknya

mekar sihat menjalar merata


ruang di tanah kian menyempit

menumpang batang pohon utama

menghiasi disekeliling bagaikan kulit

jaga-jaga, menumpang tiada tinggalnya

Mimosa*

 *Pokok semalu


Dibuai angin masihkan tenang

Daunnya kembang tiada terkesan

Jangan diusik, jangan dipegang

Di awal hari sudah ku pesan


Pulang ke kampung dari kota

Dulu termangu kini ceria wajahnya

Makin dihalang tinggilah nafsunya

Tidak diubati hitamlah hatinya


Diajak rakan usiklah segera

Mengusik kesemua daun yang malu

Enggan ku bilang tidak diendah

Matilah jiwa tertutuplah pintu

Repeated Sinner

Words

are a  mixture of letters

that made sounds when clumped together

creating spells both enchanting and poisonous


Words

are the melody I sang to You

so beautiful like a sprouting flower

blooming ever so healthily

only to realize the lack of fragrance


Words

that I poured out countless

hoping to be heard

are mere empty promises made

for actions, I don't partake

 

Loud coming out from the mouth

                                        but silent for gestures unseen

An Essential

Being the 'purpose' used to be great...

She wanted me
To accompany her
To join her lifestyle 
To be her Yes girl
To be her friend 

He needed me
For my brain was nice
Enough to feed him
To be a safe house 
A saviour when needed

I gave myself 
For you to be comfy
Finding your the one
Always there when needed
Stayed silent when not

She needed me too
Cause I listen
Cause I understand 
Thinking it'll do me justice 
by offering her ears too

You see I don't mind
Because I knew
And I accepted 
Because I liked
Being needed

But then you needed me
To complete a dream
Fulfilling your vision
Because I'm capable
Because I'm competent

I am still needed
but it hurts so much
that I am not wanted
not by your heart.
