Thought

Image

I look at the sky,

I see the sun smiling.

My mind flies to you

in a distant land.

If the sky could mirror

what our days are like.

It would indeed be a pleasure

knowing what our chores are.

It has been awhile

but I haven’t disappeared,

not even dispersed among

the vapours that form the clouds,

not even gone among the wind

that blow towards the mountain.

This place I miss much,

a place that connects you and I,

and I am still here

waiting…

Useless

 

beautiful morning
a dog barking at the hill
will it be perturbed?


huffing and puffing
after barking at the hill
to move it elsewhere

Written for Haiku Heights #319 - Useless

A little note :

'A dog barking at the hill' is a Malay saying which literally means doing something useless.

Time

Time, how it moves on with no u-turns,
It teaches us to face the bumps and potholes of life,
It would be nice leaving those gruelling moments behind,
Closed in the history of time, now open for that light -
which isn't too far away and will be reached at some time.
Time moves on and on, let's follow it and enjoy the ride!

Stagnant

wishes are like stagnant water,

when words seem so scarce,

whatever  is wished to be expressed,

inside it stays ......

undeveloped, unsaid,

unspoken, unseen, 

unknown, unheard

stagnant

And I Wonder...

Life is a drama; there are protagonists and antagonists. When the drama is staged, the protagonist's actions make people laugh and applaud, while the antagonist arouses anger, his actions despised and humiliated.

But inside an antagonist is a protagonist; inside a protagonist, an antagonist.

Dreamy Thought

I dream of
walking on that rainbow
a beautiful staircase
leading to heaven's door.

What's On My Mind

When ideas fail to come out, 
It’s like starring hard into a pitch dark night, 
Expecting to see a star.

Buzzing

Piling paperworks,

Tied-up in the space of time,

Missing all my friends.

Words

Words

Dams of thoughts

Fuel for the mind and soul

Mirrors in the inner fold

of feelings, ever growing

Touching and melting

the hearts

Pining

I miss you …

Like the butterfly misses the flower,

Like the flower misses the sun,

On a cold, dark night…

When Footsteps Stray

It saddens me to say,
when flowers turn grey,
and footsteps will stray,
in thousand miles away,
but I will always bear,
our friendship, a souvenir,

in my heart, your name stays.

When Beauty Fades

I wish the petals of this rose will always stay beautiful and remain in place in nature's amazing arrangements. But when the time comes, it can't hold itself anymore ; the petals will drop one by one leaving the stem which slowly turns brown but the thorns will still prick. Nevertheless,  its sweet scent lingers in the air.

Looking Beyond

In hazy distance,
Sudden images emerge,
The future's story.

*I don't know whether this makes sense or not but I feel like writing a Haiku today. I have been trying to write something better than this but my mind is quite blank!

Haiku - Thinking

I've been thinking hard,
To extract the utmost best,
But access denied.

The Hardest Thing To Say

I'd like to know the reason why,
There is, exists a sad goodbye,
Heart aches and eyes will cry,
Missing you is hard to get by.


My lips are tight and very dry,
Dreading to bid another goodbye,
No matter how hard I try and try,
I just can't say, I wonder why.


I look up high into the sky,
Trying to trace the route you fly,
Sudden thought comes gliding by,
You have to go, that's to comply.


Missing a sibling,

*I dedicate this poem to my beloved sister who left for Manchester (again) yesterday morning. It's been 4 years that she plied between England and Malaysia.  She's the closest to me and saying goodbye is really the hardest thing to say. She used to tell me the beauty of the city she's staying at and other cities, too.  Other than that she talked about  the beautiful flowers that bloom in spring, summer that isn't as warm as here, what it looks like in  autumn  and one of  the unforgettable experiences, when her nose bled in winter. That was when she missed home here so much and thought of the warm tropical climate.

Her Feelings, Her Thought

In the stillness of the night,
She stares at the white screen,
That stays ever so bright,
But He is nowhere to be seen.

Oh! Feeling so lonesome,
Why? Who is to be blamed,
Felt by Her, felt by some,
Saying it, is not a shame.

Moments of joy and smiles,
Spices up minutes of the day,
In Her heart's playground it lies,
Blooming prettily along the way.


A thought in mind,

Being Bothered ...

If anything bothered you, would you show it in front of other people?

I don't know whether we are losing self-respect when giving up ourselves with so much private issues.

Just a thought.

Haiku - In These, I Walk

Beauty and strength merge,

Small steps that lead to thousands,

Face life's realities.

Like sparkling diamonds,

Comfort prevails, safe and sound,

In journey of life.

Just a thought of,

Balqis

On silent night.
