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 !

Ayah

Malam-malam yang kelam Degil mata tidak mahu pejam Dipasak anak mata pada atap berwarna suram Direnung dinding kayu berselumbar tajam Ditatap almari kelabu bercorak hitam Dibolak balik badan di atas tilam Ayah masih berjaga di larut malam Semalam, ayah melakar sebuah kisah Sekajang memoir bertinta darah Seraut perjuangan menjadi sejarah Namun, sejarah itu menjadi khazanah Tersimpan di cerok rumah Terkambus dan tetimbus dek tanah Tanpa cangkul di tangan Ayah mengali semula kenangan Berputar ligat di enjin fikiran Menyelak helai-helai perjuangan Merungkai simpul-simpul pengorbanan Mengusap luka-luka yang terkesan Bukti cinta yang tak dimengertikan Pada lewat usia meniti senja Ayah menyaksi negara merdeka Dari sebangsa kini tiga warna Dari berbasikal kini berkereta Dari tanah merah kini jalan raya Dari rumah papan kini berbatu bata Ayah kerut dahi tertanya-tanya Apa ini benar-benar kita? Pada lewat usia meniti senja Ayah menyaksi anak-anak mendewasa Dari dungu menjadi cikgu Dari serba kur

Ketukan

Diketuk kamar hati.... Dari jendela rasa Ku intai wajah tamu Kamu rupanya Mengapa kamu datang? Hadirmu tiada aku undang Aku larikan renung Dari wajah kamu yang mendung Tidak aku tidak, mahu memandang Tapi mengapa? Mengapa di hati wajah terbayang? Diketuk kamar hati... Tidak aku tidak, buka pintunya lagi Kerana bersama kamu, tiada hadir pasti Bahawa seruang kecil hati ini Bisa kamu miliki. -kiambang- 06082008 :: Sebuah puisi lama, ketemu dalam nota...

The Day I Thought I Liked You (Love in Laugh and Loo)

The day I thought I liked you All the tweak and twist at the corner of your face seemed like a smile to me The actual profuse smiles of yours, were like stars that rained upon me Your eyes twinkled like glitters from a fairy’s wand, waving sending me spinning in a galaxy of a romantic hope Hope and belief, that I liked you The day I thought I liked you Your laughter sounded like rhythm of the ocean waves Full of energy from an orgy of the marine life dancing in carousel at the deep of your soul Your boisterous mirth in the loudness of a masculine voice tickled me like a mermaid’s hand carousing a harp made of wind howl then I laughed with you and thought I really liked you The day I thought I liked you Your sorrow was painful but beautiful Every crack in your voice when you spoke of your sadness was like the thumping sound of an angry angel’s singing, sending a throbbing shock to my heart, grasping with
