Introduction

Halus melakar tegar mereka Irama warna menarikan rupa Identiti tersendiri di bumi Malaya Mekar seni digital nan indah bergaya

I write poems as an outlet to express my emotions from love, sorrow, grief, happiness, joy, or my opinions that I render quite ambiguously and some, straightforward. I am a fan of Jalaluddin Rumi and Omar Khayyam. I’m always astonish by the depth of Rumi’s works.

Being a long-time ‘devotee’ of Neo soul, I ‘revived’ my passion in writing right after I discovered Def Poetry Jam on YouTube and heard in town that we have our very own Poetry Slam movement lead by Elaine Foster. There I met more talented and astounding poets and spoken word artists like Sheena Baharudin, Jamal Raslan and ‘Rose’. Even my sister, Abby is a part of this beautiful cycle.

In late 2011, I had the privilege to meet and consult some of my Malay poetry works with the humble and renowned Malaysian poet, writer and artist, Dr. Siti Zainon Ismail whom I now often address as ‘bonda’ (mother). She taught me how I could empower myself through poetry and encouraged me to keep writing and discovering knowledge of writing. I soon began to re-study and raptured by the legendary collective of poets, visual artists and writers from Malaysia, ‘Anak Alam’. Each and every one of them have diversity not only in writing and arts but carry such charisma. From learning the works of arwahyarham Yasmin Ahmad to reading works of Siti Zainon, Mustapa Haji Ibrahim and Pak Latiff (Latiff Mohidin), these great personalities have

Recently I’m more opened to seeing new perspectives in writing and learning how to write. Before knowing the art of spoken words, I found myself rather stereotype to keep my poetry structured to certain format but the more I learn, the more I clearly understand about writing poetry. I have to admit there’s still a long way to improve myself so do forgive me if you encounter any of my works that would be inconvenient. I hope this ebook will inspire readers about my life through visual story telling and poetry either imaginative or explicitly stated through life experience.

Visit me in the autumn and spring, Because that’s where I will be waiting - for the fallen leaves, There I shall dance and smile again, Alone yet content.

Flash Fiction

Page 8: Mekarnya Cinta Kata-kata dan Puisi

Once upon a time, there lived a man in a country far away in the kingdom of the richest and famous. He was an artist who loves to draw, paint, dance, write poetry and he was loved. In his early days of uncertainties, he struggled through hardship and despair. His life was complex, from being the black sheep of the society, to rejection of real affections in relationships. He is devastated. But still he keeps the light of hope.

He then emerged through inspiration of wisdom from everyone around him. Through maturity, he found forgiveness, humility, and made peace with himself and found salvation. He begins accepting his imperfection and started flowering his life with artistry and creativity. Those cloudy days fade out and he began to see sunshine, so beautiful and alluring, he swept into tears of joy.

He surrenders to serenity of The One Al Mighty Lord. A broken heart is healed and one day, when the birds fly free, he shall find his kingdom of sanctuary and there, he will meet the Divine.

Page 10: Mekarnya Cinta Kata-kata dan Puisi

Finding Myself — Trying To Be Me

Paper dolls glittering flakes shines flawlessly,As I pour this tea for the lady to feel like a family,A little dream of hope to become a celebrity,Life changed to darkness as it wasn’t sincerity.

Step into the institution walking in illusion,Feeling frustration I temper without direction,

We break culture that somehow must pretend,Imitating a system which we have no clear stand.

In us grow such rebel till we become a label,Calling names and fags virtually we seek survival,We became mellow slowly reaching for an identity,With thigh clothes and fab thangs’ to accept comfortability.

I was raise in a culture of none sustainability,Trying to see if I can fit in later felt transparency,

When I start to see they accept me miserably,Alter myself for the sake of their mentality.

When I start to change they backfire,When I start to evolve they think I’m a banshee,When I start to be carefree they hated me,When I start to be me, they still abandon me.

I fall deep without knowing what’s beneath me,Suddenly a light full of life shine upon me,

Felt hope molding this gender,So strong my soul grows fonder.

I open to distinguish things clearly,I vacate myself to enable purity,I began to listen to the beats of bravery,Back on my feet I walk in integrity.

Here in My Heart

You made my soul running so carefree,You let me understand the beauty of relationship,Although our relationship is on the world’s suicidal cliff,You and I take this chance to let love flow in sincerity.

I never find the one that is true as much as you,Because all of my life waited too long for this,

For you to come and bring sunshine in me,Someone who can’t leave without.

Truthfully, never I felt so complete,So blessed and grateful to have someone like you,To hear you say ‘I Love You’ constantly makes me happy,Here in my heart I devote this partnership for life.

Intentionally I’m not frontin’Unintentionally I don’t see the lust in meIntentionally I want to seek youUnintentionally my love for you grows within me

Intentionally I want to showUnintentionally how I look funny

Intentionally I smile at youUnintentionally I fear rejection from you

Intentionally I want to talk to youUnintentionally seems you’re glowingIntentionally I pass by for recognitionUnintentionally not to make a fool out of myself

A Heart That Speak

Was that brown eyes that caught my heart?Was the smile mesmerizing my mind?

The elongated conversation we both had,So tremendous as we get closer every moment.

Your kiss was so sweet, tender caressing the lips,

Make me fall deep in ecstasy.Could it be another fiction from a movie?

Should I neglect the delusion here in my heart?and pass this precious moment of time?Shall I deem to find the truth?Or it will forever fade before the sunshine.

Swollen Soul

Every grass and soil that I walk,Keeps me going around unwanted circle,

The direction now seems so unclear,Cloud my eyes with insecurity.

You once touch me with tenderness,Now left is just sorrow and disagreement,

With this body becoming more bitter,You seek and reach others balmy.

At night I stare into your starry face,Without realize you let time consume us,

Where were you when I needed you?Why did I stay and still hope?

Through those black clouds in the air,Shower thousands of misery and soreness,I shed tears because my endeavor collapses,

Through such odd I risk this forbidden affair.

The red tides are raising high towards me,For each seconds eating my solitary,

Condemned and dismissed from dreams,Put me in such damage and clueless.

Hence here I am in this vacant field of hope,Waiting in the shadows so my heart would untie,

Love become so dishonest and unfair,As I look upon myself how a life can be so despair.

MondayI made you hot dog and scramble eggsGot the pitch today and you wish me wellWe had Salmon Teppanyaki for dinner it was great

TuesdayI made you baked potatoes with broccoli and chicken salad

We watch ‘Lady Sings the Blues’ and I leaned on youWe had wine and you hold my hand gently you kissed me

WednesdayI called you that afternoon to tell that we won the pitchWe had lunch at a local restaurant and I had ‘Chicken in a bag’We went to the store you bought me a shirt

Thursday,I made you a pancake with butter and honey

Went to park for a walk while listening to ‘Kissing You’ We went to Jazz club at night to watch a friend performI had Sunset Boulevard so wonderful just like your smile

FridayI prayed. We went out for a dinner You played Billie Holiday in the carWe stared at the moon

SaturdayWasn’t feeling well; you brought me soup and took care of me

Can’t even count the ways I felt for youGrateful to God to have someone like you

So I wrote you a poem

SundayWe went for a morning walk, a sandwich and teaWe stayed home and watch ‘FRIENDS’ and ‘The Nanny’I laughed joyfully

MondayI went to workMy heart starts to fail, it stops beatingI stop loving you and rest silentlyI wish I could tell you one more time that I love youBut God knows that you and i know

When you have knowledge,Share it to the world,When you have a talent,Flaunt it but don’t abuse it.

When you left nothing to inspire,Look at my beautiful creation of arts,When you lost your ways,Don’t give up and be strong just like I do.

When you can’t find affections,Recreate it and share with others,When you are happy,Call your loved ones and family.

When you fail, stand up and seek the light,Give others chances so you can find generosity,

Rejoice yourself with happiness,And say thanks to those who help shape your way.

When you loose everyone around you,Hold nothing but your faith,

When you lost everything,Regain more by doing wonderful things in life.

When I’m gone, pray for my serenity,When you miss me, read my poetry,

When you find your freedom,Pray for me so I find my eternity.

In this crowded surroundings I seek you,Saw you standing still but could not reach you,Came to discover the truth so I tumbledown.

Went out of my mind could no longer breathe,The hope that was last found fades away,

Then those people become afraid and shred my door.

Will someone rescue me from such aggravation?Will a fairy grand me my wish to be discover again?Recover me, rescue me.

Lonely Star

We meet again Mr. Lonely Star,There I found you because I’m lost,

Firefly suddenly emerge from the lone pine,Wandering in solitary like mine.

...

Reflections fades cool breeze comes,Wrapped me painfully and slowly,I search for comfort yet it’s gone,

There again I see you, Mr. Lonely star.

...

Will we be at this very horizon together?Will we be fortunate to find our happy life further?

For what I long is to be content,Seem so blind from the ray of sun.

The Creative Breakdown

Bites of kilobytes consuming this creative energyRestless so restless my mind decline to torpidity

Like Jupiter my soul tangle so unstoppableWork after work I can’t break free it left me dawdle.

The sands of time are sinking my inhalationSMS after SMS irritate my patience

Like boiling water I seek ways to vaporizeYet black before my eyes I fall and paralyze.

That Moonlight Sonata

A restless heart, a restless mindDeep in my subconscious I was tied by such force

It drained my energySo the killer breeze comes back to take me

Then I gaze upon the starsAnd I see the moon

It was you.... enlighten meThrough the darkness I reach out

And I surrender to the magnificent of the DivineThen that loneliness became warm

So alone but never aloneLet me close my eyesLet me swept in tears

Peacefully, let me rest easySo I could fly with the wind And be a part of the stars

So that others will wish upon meAnd with God’s will

I will shower them compassionSo their pain will leave

And set them free

Yo let me revitalize your mind to a wider perspective,

sometimes honesty doesn’t mean complimentary.

Emotional extreme chained you with too much misery,

like a drama queen, think you exaggerating too much negativity?

Fellas drop the act lets be realistic,

stop chasing popularity let’s get back to basic.

If the politics starts to bother your mentality,

check your bank account that’s what’s really scare your reality,

jumping jobs just to pamper your indecisive peculiarity.

Whats the deal talking ‘bout chicks and being a love machine,

when ten minutes of your time better to educate with sexual disease,

the danger of world’s health is a major catastrophe,

don’t you think it’s about time to protect your eternity?

Let’s Collaborate

I transpire the values of togetherness,Through collaboration we produce clarity.

We communicate ideas harnessing creativity,Shuffling disciplines we adapt versatility.

Spiritually we surface partnership,To synergise our capability so we see a wider perspective.

Eventually this creates intimacy,Fostering the creative economy.

Cinta senang dihembus kataEntah mana pula perasaan terkiraDisudut ini berombak pemikiran

Pendirianku dulu kukuh kian pudar

Hadirmu dimana?Pelukmu dimana?

Buah fikirku mana?Hilang perasaanku dimana?

Pengorbananku memberi seribu keikhlasanSaat ku memerlukanmu mengiringi kehampaanKau getarkan keraguanmu dengan ungkitanku

Rintihan Sayu Di Petang Disember

Di suatu senja ketika dahulu,awan berarak suram,

angin halus berlalu tanpa membelaiku,di sudut jantung cinta terputus sayu.

Ada tangan menjangkau tak mampu mengenggam,ada suara membisik tak dapat bergema luas,ada pandaindera kabur tak bisa melihat jauh,

ada telinga berdengung tak dapat mendengar rintih.

Pabila cinta baharu datang mengusik aku,terikat pula jiwa akan riwayat lalu,

sore jiwaku meronta ingin menggapai renjanamu,tatkala maju tetap melingkuh jauh.

Tatkala makin hampir hati jauh rasanya sanubarimuDapat ku hidu celaru sangsimu nan mungkir mengharap bersatuKerna langkahku cinta abadi dan langkahnya pula tercari yang lainSambil menatap diriku persis boneka Indah luarnya tapi dalamnya berbeda

SoMeTiMeS certain people who claim to be open-minded are more condescending and close-minded by judging others blindly. They become more skeptical, prejudice and full of doubt by putting high expectation on others to gain respect and acceptance by force, and never by other’s free will.

Remember, when we’re in the dark, instead of pushing one another, leaving everyone in poverty, pain and despair, we should remove prejudice by uniting as one without

differentiating the colour of our skin, nor our race or culture.

Only humble knowledge can guide us to the right path so all could reach out to help one another. We seek light and love so that we can be content.

We live not to give up on hope. Let’s all survive so that we can change the past history by inspiring others by telling a story of great unity and harmony.
