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 louder
but nobody hears her, not anymore
to the world, she has long disappeared.


and the water ripples in the vast subconsciousness of the sea as she sinks, in silence.


::I wish not to see her again.::

  3. Yes i think i see the connection..thanks !

    I think you understood that the question was really not an honest one, just an opening to the following statement. Haha. Its amazing how many people are very gifted in language. You poets should start a poet guild in Msia n collect fans. You have one already.

    Anyways keep up the good work !

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
