Penat

Sesat di rimba penuh ranjau
Janggal pada redup semuanya hijau
Rindu pada lampu kota berkilau-kilau
Bosan, benci, sakit hati bagai nak keriau
Kejut budaya rimba
Asing, lebih dari sumbang si kera
Memang rasa diri sebatang kara
"Ah! Ini hanya mula"
Tamatnya entah bagaimana
Sedang yang dirasa hanya seksa

Pohon besar, akarnya menjalar-jalar bak ular
Biar batang boleh dibuat bersandar
Tapi tersadung lalu bercalar-balar
Aduh! Pedihnya bagai dikelar-kelar
Bedebah! Mau saja ditebang dan dibakar
"Sabar! Sabar!"

Bila matahari tenggelam
Malam pastinya hitam
Datanglah nyamuk menerkam
Mujur bukan harimau membaham
Kaki lenguh, urat terseliuh
Sesaat mengeluh
Sesaat mengaduh
Badan hanyir bau peluh

Sudah, jangan nak mencemuh
Tunggu saja menjelang subuh
Ada cahaya dapat menyuluh

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

Eucalyptus; A ghost.

In the deep dark of the dead dawn A forest of grief has grown Rest in rage, a corpse of Eucalyptus slow dancing in a hiatus The moon up so high in the sky hides his eyes away behind lashes of a shameful decay refuses to see how her body sways The riot rhythmic moves of her stained feet mopping the floor of the rooted, tangled deceit the dusty ashes of her lost sanity appeals for a fleet I remember how she opens her eyes when she cries Trying to roll back the tears forming a lake beneath her bosoms Her white porcelain skin benumbed by the gloom of doom Her torn red frolic dress falls revealing her sanctum; a heart as hollow as a phantom I remember her crooked brown brows as her emotion frowns, with arms hugging her disowned broken boughs thick black blood runs from her mind to her chin and she grins as she mouths the word 'sin'. She dances to direction of the ocean of tears and blood of the ancient mourners She sinks deeper as she cries...
