Late at night, we drive
Around town, talking about
Life, and Love, and Us.
#411 Tentang Menagih Belas
Kasih Tuhan melimpah luas
Membanjiri seluruh alam
Aku pasrah menagih belas
Moga Kasih tak pernah redam.
#410 On Chainsaws
Even crazed chainsaw men
Would give up limb and life
To honour loved ones when
All’s at stake amidst strife
We throw the dice at Fate
To seek Salvation’s gate.
On The Budding Grove
Every Gilberte or Albértine
Who makes her way into our heart
At that one moment in our Life
Is a witness to who we were
And who we could become
And who we eventually come to be.
On Puffin the Magic Kucing
She came into our lives, this magic loaf
A puff of love so gentle and so mild
So graceful she, no terror nor an oaf
With tender miaows befitting Love unriled.
On My Finitude, Brimming with You
My finitude brims with infinite You The meaning of my daily joys and hurts When Life can blur the lines of what is true The Truth of you becalms me and engirts Amidst these unremitting, violent days Within your heart my heart, enraptured, stays.
Tentang Tuah Berkasih
Redup langit cerah ceria
Gumpal awan memberi naung
Tuah hamba berdamping dinda
Hidup mati kasih dijunjung.
Tentang Hati Tertawan di Hari Valentin
Sungai Besut mengalir tenang Singgah lalu di pekan Jerteh Hati hamba tertawan sayang Teduh dalam naungan kasih.
Tentang Ketemuan
Siapa sangka dari sejuta Insan yang ada di bumi Kita harus ketemu jua Dua jiwa, hati terpatri. Dari awal engkau ragui Apa erti hidup bersama Syak wasangka kita lunturi Yakin hati berjalin cinta Apa maksud hidup berliku Sunyi jiwa terpadam kini Shair hidup memuji kamu Redup hati damai abadi.
On Baharis
I barely knew you
And I knew almost nothing of
When and how you were born
Or who your parents were
Or how you got here
Or how you found yourself being
A young bride in a strange land
Surrounded on all sides
By people who did not love you
And did not care that you were barely loved
I barely knew your life
But I know that in the young years
Of my own life
You loved me with the fierce tenderness
Of a lioness, claws and all
Maybe they never loved you
But you had love abundant
Your love, transcendant
For me, for us
