#641 Tentang Kau Yang Dalam Rangkulan

Di bawah sinar remang rembulan itu
Kau dalam rangkulanku
Rambutmu hitam mengurai
Harummu menyimpan seribu janji

Dan dikala langit berdentuman
Jantungku turut berdetak laju
Darah berderu menyorakkan rindu
Jemari erat mendakap keranuman

Ah, aku terkalah oleh renunganmu
Desahmu menyerak segala akalku.

#634 Tentang T15

Kalau tuan mengurus bangsa
Jangan lupa bermusyawarah
Gali cari jalan saksama
Agar warga tidak tersusah

Deras mulut mengucap arah
Kurang semak kurang pedoman
Rakyat bingung bercampur marah
Pening porak tidak keruan

Lajak sampan boleh diundur
Lajak kata buruk padahnya
Jangan leka menuntut akur
Hingga warga jadi termangsa

Cari jalan terpaling cermat
Agar lancar tatakelola
Amal adab beserta hormat
Pasti tadbir meraih mulia.

#624 On Being Your Jiminy Cricket

Am I your Jiminy Cricket
The voice of your frail, dimmed conscience?
The one you turn to
When you need the strength
To be the person
You’ve always known you ought to be?

Or am I just another member of
Your sprawling audience?
An unwitting witness to your witless schemes
The unremitting pursuit of
Your faded dreams?

#623 On Walking Away From The Maimed

Just watch me walking away
Riding off into my own private sunset
Alone, but unhurt

I sought my own refuge
From your games
And here I am
Intact and ungrateful
- or so you would say

I refuse to be one of the maimed
And those who have remained
They will bear their own scars, in time

Goodbye.
I have no more tears left to cry.
