the little that was said

'live fast, die young'

years older now amidst the decreasing value of life
comes cheaper if they're in uniform and holding guns.
still writing still hoping for the change that would present itself.
oh well its been years now, so what difference does it make to be left on the shelf?

still alone now, has always been, all this while.
the little that have been taught and the little that have been learnt.
so stagnant still against my will like the floor with dusty tiles.
oh yes i've forgotten the recovered skin in the fire my nebula burnt.

so as much as they say there will always be a way for me to still sit down.
the repulsive thoughts and neverending knots engraved unto my head
so yes i smiled, i cried and shout and kiss and spit and frowned.
amidst the dying little thoughts and fading hope was the little that was said.

the chronicles of the demon slayer

it was almost a decade ago when i came to purge.

the demons of worldly desires that reside in you,

and such was a great battle, though i cannot fight the urge,

and the demon overcame me too.

and 36 moons forward i revolted to break the spell

of the young maiden infested with demons from the heavens she fell.

it was a hard fought battle with another six more swords 

who cowardly came to slay and found that she was the demon herself.

the slayer resented and took hold of his dreams

a long fought battles with the minor demons in himself.

it was a losing battle like how it already seems,

so the slayer, defeated, learnt the demon ways himself.

he sworn to become a slayer of demons in his unventilated cave,

when all that he does is feeding off his blood-thirsty crave.

he was a holy slayer training to be the master demon 

so when the day comes he can end the life of his own.

the fictitious tale of everyone

behold the stage has been set for play

and to rise us all but to end each day
a reckoning of unlikely immortals
a meeting on unconscious rebuttals

we are the players this stage set
the actors and actresses on this lucid mat
whose plot as yet be unveiled
another layer of which have been peeled

so slowly, and ever so slowly enough
time moves us, in the smooth and in the rough.
fictitious characters of whom we are
a mere illusion we seek by far

and in transition a change of season
the unsaid recess of a paused intrusion.
we move like puppets amongst ourselves
and we end our role like a book on the shelves.

have you ever wondered by the light of day
that the reasons we have made unwillingly play?
our minds consumed by treacherous virtuality
that drives the flesh into morbid insanity.

wake up now. this is not real.
wake up now. it is time to feel.

until we have met in flesh and blood,
everyone of us are fictitious characters made of mud.

jihad sang pujangga

salamku buat yang terkenang masa karat yang pedih,
segala tangisan airmata mengenang sebak sedih.

kerana pillumu menjadi satu peringatan.
kerana hibamu angkara satu pemilihan.

tabikku buat yang terus menerjang kehidupan,
berjalan terus melagau onak deduri bertepekkan bantahan.

atas sebab fitrahmu yang tak kenal kekalahan.
atas sebab jadimu yang kekal rentas perbalahan.

sanjungku buat yang duduk berdiam diri.
tanpamu akan tiada golongan yang berani.

berani berfikir menentang arus kepelesongan,
gagah berjuang mengubah salah tanggapan.

aku hanya perajurit pecinta seni.
tiada diminta hanya diterima jihadku ini.

the man without memories

for each picture taken be another hollow gap to leave your mind
and of that be left vacant for the ghost of the past to haunt
never will it ever be such easy task for these presence dissolved

as though they meant nothing
no, they really meant nothing

this reality that has existed in circular formations beneath a dream
dismissed as an affair forlorn, forsaken,forgotten and dead.
and live this being with the hurricane of the sweetness of memories soon to be,

soon to reverse as a prison,
soon to pest the heart,
soon to devour sanity within.

in present, no, past tense rather, let this be light.
the light to blind profound stupidity that man was and still is.

in light leave the unwanted theories.
in live live as a man without memories.

insignia emblemed

too much words rambled in this head,
no, nothing's wrong i'm not afraid.

within the three heads that live in me,
of all are swapping this hypocrisy.

linger on, oh linger more,
all the bad thoughts of those abhorred.

i am walking, this endless flight of rubble,
to keep me distant from the heart that troubles.

i walk alone now, i'm sure i could,
i'd like you be here, but that if you would.

of said the regrets that were put to words,
of said all frets, that all came be favoured.

i was the prodigy, that laid the gun,
but thou art the bullet that shoot and run.

no, the run is over, it was all clear.
yes, the fun is over, too much had cleared

this meaningless phantom that haunts this vessel,
keeps raging on with its meaningless riddles.

i had a bit too much to think.
i had far too much to drink.

alas be as said, the rambles that shivers my head.

dalam hati ada azan

gua tak kisah,
lu orang makan duit gua,
cukup-cukup kasi abis.

gua tak kisah,
lu orang eksen dengan gua,
depan-depan pun takpa.

gua tak kisah,
kasi members hidup,
bila gua sendiri tengah sesak.

gua tak kisah,
keje doplopatjam,
pasal bila gua da gaji, lu orang senyum.

gua pun tak kisah,
kalau lu pandang gua rendah,
pasal gua sedar diri gua.

gua lagi tak kisah,
kalau lu mau hina gua,
mau caci maki gua punya muka.

gua pun tak amek hati,
kalau lu takmo tolong gua,
bila gua tengah susah.

tapi gua mintak siket aja,

gua mintak payung,
mana punya buruk pun takpa.

pasal dalam hati gua,
tengah banjir airmata.

gua mintak lu diam aja,
sekejap pun takpa.

pasal dalam hati gua,
ada azan tengah berkumandang.

gua mintak seteguk air,
tak kisahlah panas ke sejuk.

pasal bila gua nazak,
taklah haus sangat.

dengan gua mintak lu ingat,
nama gua sapa.

pasal bila gua dah takda,
boleh lu sedekah al-fatihah.

lights, camera, action.
the ringing tune that moves you.
the silent vibes your heart beats.
the graceful stance that dance you.

lights, camera, action.
the tone you'll get accustomed to.
the beautiful emotions concocted.
the eyes you so much mesmerized.

lights camera action.
the path I chose you taught me.
the flight that grows into me.
the run you kept me going.

lights, camera, action.
this salutation is for you.
this gratitude has your name.
this glorious win you deserve.

you are who no one is better.
you are that special individual.

Act I fajar

Aku bukanlah seniman, ataupun aku sang penghibur.
Aku hanyalah bawahan, yang banyak mimpinya terkubur.

Rantauan hidup membawaku ke sini,
dengan harapan menambah rezeki.
Tiada bagiku yang selalunya senangan,
tapi aku teruskan merempuh halangan.

Andaikata hidup ini satu lakonan, jiwaku ini kan ku pentaskan.

Sekiranya jalan ku terhenti, jauh sekali ia lah penghujung.
Takkan ku henti bermimpi, banyak lagi yang kan ku kunjung.

bangsa yang melayu

pandanglah diri dicermin pecahan,
patutkah jati dijajah-jajahan?

sumbang si angsa melagukan pagi,
mana bangsa yang melayu mati!

usah tercengang banyak provokasi,
takkan ku terima haluan yang diberi.

hantaran penindas hanya kekata,
fikiran bernas diejek dikata.

bak salju memutih nan indah,
tak berbaju memerang lidah.

hancur lebur busana bangsa,
namun anak nya sedikit tak terasa.

hari yang cerah untuk jiwa yang sepi

pagi biar kusendiri
jangan kau mendekat
wahai matahari
dingin hati yang bersedih
tak begitu tenang
mulai terabaikan

hari yang cerah untuk jiwa yang sepi
begitu terang untuk cinta yang mati
ah... ku coba bertahan dan tak bisa

kubu langit kelabuku
tak begitu luas
seperti memudar
kini tak terulang lagi
di hari yang cerah
dia telah pergi

hari yang cerah untuk jiwa yang sepi
ahh... ku coba bertahan dan tak bisa
ahh... mencoba melawan ku lepas

hari yang cerah untuk jiwa yang sepi...
begitu terang untuk cinta yang mati

ahh... kucoba bertahan dan tak bisa
ahh... mencoba melawan ku lepas
semua telah hilang ....
semua telah ....

aku pencari

aku pencari erti.
makna yang tersirat,
dibalik tawa dan tangis,
dibalik pahit dan manis.

aku pencari teman.
mana yang hidup disisiku,
sehaluan dengan hatiku,
atau semata-mata seteru.

aku pencari jalan.
peta yang hilang dinaluri,
dimana tanah ku pijak,
adakah disitu langit dijunjungi?

aku pencari damai,
hati ini berkecamuk,
adakala tersangat remuk,
tapi selalunya ia mengamuk.

aku pencari rindu.
lagu-lagu yang meriangkan jiwa,
hari-hari yang membawa makna,
muka-muka yang sudah tiada.

aku pencari cinta.
batin yang pernah tertawa,
zahir dulunya gembira,
sememangnya rasa sempurna.

aku pencari pedoman.
hanya PadaMu Yang Satu,
sekerdil dan daif diriku,
kesetiaanku hanya buatMu.

aku pencari penhujung.
dimana pangkalnya dihilangkan,
dimana jalannya terbentang,
takkan tahu sebelum berakhir.

aku pencari keikhlasan,
dimana hatimu sanggup mencinta,
dimana jiwamu dapat menerima,
membawaku masuk dialam kasihmu.

aku pencari erti.
hidup yang terombang-ambing,
aku mahu mencari selesainya,
agar ertinya sempurna.

lately i heard you purr,

so much that my heart stir.

i know it was more,

it's you whom i adore.

the signs were pretty clear,

that one day i'll hold you dear.

neko-chan come here.

come with me.

i need to be with you,

i hope you feel the same for me too.

- nezumi-san

i'm past the stars

it was the wicked sneer that came out from your words,
that made me steer out far into the woods.

so i am lost now within the creeping weed,
i am as lost now i am waiting for time to bleed.

it appears that the potion you gave me the other day,
was just a mere drop of juice that made my head sway.

look, i need to fly up into the sky right now,
i just need to, i don't care how.

my dreams with you were just a load of empty thoughts,
so save me the night, just get out of my head.

i'm past the stars now, i'm past all the pain,
i'm the alpha male bastard now, the ugly and the vain.

you were never worth it, of that i think you already knew.
i hope not to cross path, there never was a me and you.

- ten oh niner the crossbred mechanical beast

until we bleed

i'm naked
i'm numb
i'm stupid
i'm staying
and if cupid's got a gun, then he's shootin'

lights black
heads bang
you're my drug
we live it
you're drunk, you need it
real love, I'll give it

so we're bound to linger on
we drink the fatal drop
then love until we bleed
then fall apart in parts

you wasted your times
on my heart
you've burned
and if bridges gotta fall, then you'll fall, too

doors slam
lights black
you're gone
come back
stay gone
stay clean
i need you to need me

so we're bound to linger on
we drink the fatal drop
then love until we bleed
Then fall apart in parts

now we're bound to linger on
we drink the fatal drop
then love until we bleed
then fall apart in parts

Tarian Fitrah

sekiranya hidup ini satu dansa,
sudikah kau menari dalam sanubariku?
adapun khayalan itu menyesatkan,
bukankah nurani mahu gembira?

hatimu berselekoh menuju kegelapan.
usah tercari-cari cahaya nur.
rohanimu teresak-esak mencari kebenaran.
usah mengambil wudhu' lagi.

lihatlah sahabatku,
akan segala yang kau kecapi.
bukankah ini masa yang sesuai,
buat hatimu berlayar ke asal fitrahmu?

hakiskanlah kotoran dijiwamu.
usah terkenang pada pagi yang manis,
kerna manisan itu hanyalah racun,
didalam kembara hidupmu ini.

kembalilah kepada yang benar,
ayuh suluhkan cahaya nur lagi.
kibarkanlah bendera kesucian,
belum terlambat berwudhu' kini.

seindah senyuman bayi,
indahkanlah pula hatimu kini.

Dear Savannah

Dear Savannah,

I believe there is nothing much for us to say.

Lest my heart bleed for long, time is my only medic.

That man? Why he's a scoundrel nonetheless.

Even so, I cherish the moments when we were pure.

Life will erase you from my soul soon enough.

- John

Dear John

Dear John,

In you I cant feel anymore joy.
In you I have left no love for.
In you my life is a misery.
In you I cant live properly.

For you, my answer will be the same.
For you, I can never change.
For you, I can only remember the pain.
For you, I am afraid its where the end begins.

With you, I've sinned a dozen lies.
With you, I'd thought we lived and die.
With you, I cant be with.
With you, i have to sin again.

You scarred me John.
Even while we're making love,
I fear the person on top of me.
You scarred me too deep John.

John, I wished you were still the person i fell in love with.
John, I wished i had never lost my love for you.
John, it's time for us to get on with our lives.
John, I am sorry.

I fell in love with another man because of you.
But no John, I will love him without you.
I will love him to forget about you.
How I'd wish you were still John...

I

The Grand Puppet Master

and so you have made your choice.

the ones that will embellish for a while,
your preposterous, fabricated land of stars.

not caring even a minute fragment,
of the dreams that you have demolished.

i salute your malevolent oracle,
in the name of profits and riches.

we are the broken puppets that you have forsaken.


II

The Princess from The Bends

on the fifth hour is your coronation.

at long last you came upon this acropolis,
will you renounce this kismet?
to dance across the northern aurora?
you are a princess with or without a tiara.

gloriously crafted against your freewill.

and come what may,
it will be a diamond studded carpet,
rolled out, for you.
to dance with that heavy heart.

but you are, and will always be idolized.


III

The Hawaiian Prince

the waves bow down to you

the supreme hero
to valiantly cross
the ocean of dead dreams

warrior prince bestowed by Kane and Ku
to immerse in battles
and return triumphant.

the glory that will be
immortalized across the sun
and the twelve moons.

will you be the deity that favors riches?

the affirmation

so words race like flies in a dumpster
so i got to know the lies everyone looked after.

and here i am still thinking it was a mere shadow,
and here i am still wishing a lovestruck down below.

i am the reason of my own ignorance in building castles in the air.
i am the contradiction of what my dreams came about to a certain despair.

thinking and wishing what would be a volatile chemistry,
alas i am the squire who thought everything else was for free.

in times like this that i have already known
where my pointless admiration have flown.

yes this is my final affirmation
my instinctive confirmation.

that you looked at me as a silhouette,
never existed never to get.

in your eyes, i am a just a passer-by.
and may lady luck smile upon your fate.
