khayal ii

bits and pieces
here and there

from slopes to hills
up to mountains and skies

from yesteryear
to here and now

phrases by phrases
phases by phases

connecting the dots
recollecting
broken thoughts
lost memories

completing dislocated puzzles

unsettled
unresolved
stumbles

the struggle is true

knocks bruises and cuts
the real remedy
to this nonexistent spaces

Gurindam Jiwa

Tuai padi antara masak

Esok jangan layu2an

Intai kami antara nampak

Esok jangan rindu2an

Anak china pasang lukah

Lukah di pasang di Tanjung Jati

Di dalam hati tidak kulupa

Sebagai rambot bersimpol mati

Batang selaseh permainan budak

Daun selaseh dimakan kuda

Bercherai kaseh talak tiada

Seribu tahon kembali juga

Burung merpati terbang seribu

Hinggap seekor di tengah laman

Hendak mati dihujung kuku

Hendak berkubur di tapak tangan

Kalau tuan mudek ke hulu

Charikan saya bunga kemboja

Kalau tuan mati dahulu

Nantikan saya di pintu shorga

Gurindam Jiwa

1965

Wandly Yazid/Hamzah

seperti selalunya
angin bertiup dan berlalu pergi
di kala hari melabuh tirai
ditemani gerimis hujan
walau rintiknya
rintik yang pilu
menyegar di tiap nafas

hari yang makin tak menentu
memahami deru ombak jiwa
yang pasang surutnya tiada henti
sebagai peneman di kala jiwa melara

hati ini mengerti
sinar mentari kan menanti
di hari esok
walau terbitnya nanti
seribu tahun sekali pun
jiwa ini kan tetap
sabar menanti

gelap awan sekali pun
kan akhirnya
memecah terang gemilang

writer's block

from dream to dream
I stuck
like a loop
a broken record
keep on spinning
on the same track
there's no rewind
there's no flashback
it was all
statick

Twisted mind broken heart after rain break a leg harsh hustle never mind in tiny hole rumble rumbling thud trouble loop intrigue numb sweetest nightmare speak for darkest night enlighten dump cold stars that never shine do dreams come true moon sleeps I doubt that skies never blue blunt the taken path relentless awaken in shadows frighten to death sweeping skies with air broom negative vibe maniac aid nicotine juice blank sculp my scalp perish oh why can’t I stuck still stumble shock outnumbered flank out excessive slumber deep down inside fool outrageous I can’t take it bafoon muffle helpless sight restraint joyous never see the back of my eye lids hopeless sight thrash forsaken for granted hopeless sigh scream my lungs out whisper fierce anger brawl brain leftover strangle fracture fist frantic crack crawl cold bust burst.
