Jaguh

Semua mahu jadi jaguh
Berteriak pekik bikin gaduh
Siapa lantang siapa tangguh

"Jika aku punya kuasa
semua rakyat ku angkat menjadi raja
kita hidup satu kata satu jiwa"

"Jika aku punya kuasa
segala harta ku banjiri pekan dan desa
tiada yang papa tiada yang kedana"

Birokrat-birokrat bertopeng malaikat
Terus-terus melolong sabda-sabda kosong tiada pernah penat
Ke tengah kota ke hujung kampung ke laut mahupun darat
Riuh berkeroncong penuh gamat

Ada juga dalang-dalang keparat
Jadi pecacai bodoh lagi taat

Pak turut tolong tampal poster pada tiang-tiang lampu di sisi jalan
Pak karut tolong lelong polisi di kedai-kedai kopi sambil minum tongkat ali
Pak carut tolong maki hina segala pesaing yang tidak separti sekroni

Atas nama kemenangan, maruah jadi taruhan
Atas nama perubahan, kebenaran jadi lelongan
Atas nama kepartian, perpaduan dipersundalkan

Mana halal mana haram
Berpidato tidak pernah redam
Tapi ada suatu-suatu masa bila kuasa menjadi idam
Mana halal mana haram
Diam.

To Erthe

A promise was made here to a man thousands miles yonder my monotonous ode to him goes unsung in the wind A handful of hopes is hard to cope A brimming love fits like a glove Head and heart finally concurred These hands shall eventually join I chose him, for the same reason Luna chooses Erthe, and stays O thee, my centre of gravity A Divine decreed, oh! what a wonder! Accept me in darkness, see me clearer I shall be around, till heaven asunder. ................................................... My nerves are all jittery My eyes are watery Oh! Am I crying or indeed laughing Is this not what I've been wanting

Ayah

  Ayah, Begitu mudah, Memanggil mu, suatu ketika itu. Di situ, setia menunggu, anak mu Bercerita, bercoleteh bagaikan tok guru Tersenyum, gurau mu mencuit hati ibu.   Ayah, Dalam semalam, Ada dendam yang tidak pernah padam Saat tangan mu ku genggam Melafazkan kata seberat alam Melihat mata mu terpejam   Ayah, Begitu sepi, Panggilan itu, saat ini. Tiada lagi yang menanti, Tiada lagi yang mengerti, Kau telah pergi Ke negeri abadi.   Ayah, Pergi mu mudah Pusara mu indah Pada nisan tidak bernama Pohon melur mekar berbunga Ku panjatkan doa Agar disana, Luas taman mu, Indah perhiasan mu, Aman pendamping mu Tenang lah rohmu, Sedang kami, didakap rindu.   Hingga kita bertemu lagi, Di bawah rahmat Ilahi.     Salam Akhir Ramadhan 1443 Hijrah

A Straw Poem

In my spare times, I used to draw My favorite would always be portraiture Of faces I wish to remember of teachers, friends and lovers. In my busy times, I would still draw. But lately... whenever I put my pencil to paper It turns into a straw and the paper mellow to water White and pure than never. The more I gaze into it, the clearer is the color It doesn’t ripple but begins to sparkle. And, instead of me sucking for a drink The water seems to expand at the brink Rising like tides in the evening of the tsunami Swallowing me into, instead of just water, now a sea With my tongue and my hand I taste the salt and the sand Though my feet, I don’t know where they land. I know it’s real. It is real. And, the ocean breathes life to a figure Who wears a face I used to draw How I remember every curve and feature Softer than flower, Stronger than power Afar like history, Intimate like memory. All at once, tears dance in the pool of my eyes ...
