Love

When there is love
there is hope, there is a feeling
that you can’t understand, blossoming
When there is love
there is remembrance
so close to heart, so deep in mind
When there is love
there is joy, and there is pain
but love will remain
When there is love
there is sacrifice, there is responsibility
that one will abide
That is love between you and me
but only one love
will remain for eternity
without pain, without vain
it is our love
to The One and Only

Green


Green as the forest
where Robin Hood and his men jest
where nature is at its best
where human seek inspiration and rest

Green symbolizes peace
a forgotten element in life keys
which conceives activist to heed
when some monsters turn greed

Green means nature
the beginning of life, the overture
while everyone claims the right to order
yet no one’s wise, no one’s sure

Green is my best pal’s favourite colour
She is nice, always a pleasure
She’s my sunshine when I’m down and under
I miss her so, we’re friends forever

Misers In The City

A pair of misers live in the city
They stroll along the road
Without a care in the world
Carrying bags of gold
And oh, what a "pretty" sight to hold!
They shouted:
"Lo and behold, we are the masters of the universe
Those who in need, come to us, and we heed
A roof to sleep under? No need to wander
Just stay here but leave the gold under."
That's what the misers do
Everything comes with a price
They won't pity you
But they'll suck your blood dry like a lice
One's patting your shoulder
The other's poking you hard
They don't seem to bother
If you cry, they say, "So what?"
And that is the story
About a pair of misers,who live in the city.

Aku, Gajah dan Ibu

Aku letih.
Letih nak baca.
Letih nak dengar.
Letih nak timbang.
Nak timbang dua belah, mana satu lebih berat?
Aku bosan.
Orang itu kata begitu.
Orang ini kata begini.
Aku ni macam pelanduk.
Gajah-gajah yang berbalah.
Dua-dua tak nak mengaku kalah.
Pelanduk hanya berserah.
Aku juga ada hak.
Hak yang menentukan ruang,
Ruang bebasku di atas awan atau di dalam longkang?
Apa kan jadi pada Ibu ku?
Jikalau anak-anaknya seperti aku?
Yang keliru.
Yang buntu.
Yang dihimpit tak bernafas,
Oleh gajah-gajah angkuh dan buas.
Aku cuma nak hidup dengan aman.
Hidup bersama Ibu.
Aku sayang Ibu.

Hijrah..

Kalau nak ke depan, toleh sebentar ke belakang,
ada barang tercicir tak?
Kalau ada dan ianya berharga, ambil dan bawa bersama,
Kalau ianya tak berguna, jangan biarkan begitu saja,
Tong sampah kan ada, buang dahulu,
kemudian teruskan perjalananmu
Semoga selamat sampai di sana…

A Thousand Winds

I started to like this song since I first heard it at the Japanese Song Contest, TBIC...

It's a hit song by Akikawa Masafumi in 2007, probably based on an English poetry as below, but I'm not so sure as I couldn't understand the documentary in Youtube...however, it's a beautiful piece of poetry and musical instrumentation arrangement..I could feel what the message was even before I know the meaning of this song..

A Thousand Winds (author unknown)

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds of circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I do not die.

(.....I think there is more to this poem...)

~journey...best friend~

..the best time is our conversation,
..the best moment is when you show your care,
..the best part of you is your concern,
..but I don't mean that when you pay my fare.

..the best characteristic is your understanding,
..the practical thinking, and parallel to mine,
..the place, the value, the faith...notwithstanding,
..I'd rather say, all seems fine.

..so here we are, my friend,
..at the crossroads, we met,
..my heart will break and bend,
..but when it's time, (I) hope I'll not fret.
