pantun 5 bait

Seperti hujan membasahi bumi

Tumbuh melata hijau berseri

Kembang berbunga menawan hati

Namun layu di kemudian hari

 

Begitu lah juga diri insani

Lahir ke bumi penuh berahi

Remaja muda tua dilalui

Akhirnya ke liang jua yg abadi

 

Bangkit fajar tenggelam senja

Samalah jua hidup kita

Melayan hidup sekadar ada

Kerna dunia hanyalah lagho

 

Sekadar beringat untuk semua

Kerna kita semuanya rugi

Hidup biar berpada-pada

Bersandar hayat bertali mati

 

Cukup dahulu cerita ceriti

Di lain tika bersambung lagi

Mengenal diri adalah kunci

Pulang pada Ilahi cita diri

 

Buanglah Amarah juga Lawamah

Berpakaian Mulhamah n juga Mutmainah

Nafi n Isbat yang diperhati

Semuga bertemu jalan diredhai

Pernah ii

 Pernah

Ada tempat

Yg mengingati kita

Pernah

Ada Lorong

Yg mengenal kita

Pernah

Ada tingkap

Yg melihat impian kita

Dan jika

Kita tunggu seketika

Di sana

Angin juga membawa

Haruman yg pernah ada

Seolah

Kenangan menanti

Kita kembali

Pada hari

Yg pernah

Kita lalui

Of Magnet n Ghosts

 Of Magnet n Ghosts

And you appear

So clear so dear

Out of nowhere

And suddenly 

You are everywhere

At first subtly

And then obviously

Like a magnet

I become attract

And i can't forget

Smile in your eyes

You are the prize

I must possess

And caress

I think d world of you

In every thot

In the morning dew

You are the one i sought

And everyday when twilight appears

Your voice would ring in my ears

Unexpectedly

You are gone

But like tinnitus

I hear you

Constantly

And i mourn

Unwillingness

For you

Do you still think of me

Like i do you

Like a song

A sad song

You hum but you can't flee

This feeling of blue

And now we have become ghosts

Who forget how to haunt each other

And like faded leaves

We wither

NKc

Mencintai

 Mencintai

Tanpa memiliki

Hanya merindui

Berpisah dalam keterpaksaan

Meragut berjuta harapan

 

Mencintai

Dalam waktu yang bukan

Masanya

Dalam Ketika yang bukan

Saatnya

Menyayat pilu

Tinggal kenangan

 

Muga kelak syurga

Menjadi pentas janji bersemi

Dan kita bertemu kembali

Cukup

 Dalam kesendirian 

Cukup

Hanya ada Kamu

Tintin n Twice

 Just finished reading The adventures of Tintin. Enjoyed it very much as it brought back fond memories of yesteryears while i was in primary school. I first read Tintin’s collections many years ago, 50 years ago probably, borrowing them from my classmates. Many years later, after getting married n my children all grown up, i bought them a few of Tintin’s comic books. They are wonderful read n i am always fascinated by the storylines n the illustrations which are very detailed n depict the real background of the adventures locations. 

As for Twice, as usual Mitch Albom never fails to impress me. The storyline is easy to follow but the way Mitch Albom expresses himself is truly marvelous. Twice tells about a guy who gets to do things twice, and by doing so on many things that he has gone through, he is able to rectify moments that are unacceptable to him and make those moments bearable and to his liking. Like every Mitch Albom’s novel, this one too is a great read n the standout of his writings is that he always presents original ideas. 

I managed to finish Twice in three readings but Tintin took me a longer time since the prints are smaller, (and my eyesight is getting worse too hahaa) but nevertheless the sheer pleasure of reading delights me as always.

For those who tend to fix their eyes solely on their handphones, i advise you guys to read printed materials. It is never late to start reading if you haven't started yet, and for those who do read, choosing a different genre now and then tend to add more knowledge n new experience.

So, start reading now!!

*btw Twice is my birthday present from Lisa n Tintin belongs to Iliya
