All that I am

If my words are like water,
then they will flow out of my mouth
and evaporate into your mind
and condense into your heart,
hydrating it from its thirst.
Though, I am not always in control.
They might be polluted with sarcasm and cynicism
and might even drown you.

If my touch is like cold wind,
then it will cool your anger into forgiveness
and take you on a journey,
lifting you up onto the heavens.
Though, I am not always calm.
A tornado might come and wreck your life
and leave you spinning in the air,
until you will freeze to death.

If my gaze is like sun rays,
then it will help you grow as high as you might
and give life to your solar system
and bring you your rainbow after the heavy rain.
Though, I am not always warm.
They might shine so bright it will blind you
and you will sweat and melt,
you will decay and all that's left is dirt and nothing else.

So you see
I could be all of the nature's beauty
and I could be all of the nature's catastrophe.

Pitiful liar

You were a truck
I went under you and pretended like I was mashed

You were a dog
I hit your face but pretended like I was attacked

You were a coat
I wore you tightly but pretended like I was molested

You were so innocent
I played you like a chess and pretended like I was a bimbo

You were a nice person
I was a liar. A pitiful liar.

Aku nampak

Tangannya dibuka luas
hanya menanti waktunya tiba

Mulut-mulut sudah mula berkata
"hanya menanti tanpa usaha"

Dibacanya, "Penantian itu suatu penyeksaan"
terketawa kerana tidak seseksa penantian tanpa kepastian

Semakin dicuba semakin keliru jadinya
lalu dibelai hatinya "Dia maha mengetahui, Dia maha melindungi"

Air matanya berlinang ditengah malam
"sekali ini saja biar aku yang mengada-ada"

Semakin dicuba semakin lemah jadinya
katanya mereka "jangan menjual, akan tiba juga waktunya"

Terduduk diam saja dan senyum menerima
didalamnya sudah rapuh dan patah titian usaha

Tangannya kini terjatuh
sembunyikan diri dari cinta

Sebati.

Hujan-hujan yang turun
aku berlari sambil menakung dan aku simpan
akan aku mandi dengannya

Api-api yang membara
aku peluk hingga jadi abu dan aku simpan
akan aku bina istana pasir dengannya

Ribut salji melanda
aku menari hingga diselaputi salji lalu aku simpan
akan aku buat ais krim dengannya

Guruh yang menjerit
aku menyanyi dan menghafal iramanya dan aku simpan
akan aku hasilkan lagu dengannya

Kilat yang menyambar
aku kutip sisa dengan tanganku dan aku simpan
akan aku nyala lampu saat kegelapan dengannya
