Haiku - Why? Oh! Why?

(1)
Ignited by doubts,
Sparks the flame of jealousy,
Thoughts go ramming wild.



(2)
Struck by sheer naivety,
Surpassed all spots of plain truths,
Heart goes a-jumping. 



Pondering why,

*It's quite disturbing sometimes thinking of what life has in store for us.  Mixed emotions could get out of hand when the mind's disturbed by something that appears out of the blue. I am not relating this to myself. It's written based on realities of life.  In this rat race life, stiff competitions in everything is obvious. Jealousy exists in many aspects such as envying others' achievements ,which is common. What's worse is when friends become Jekyll and Hyde. This is human!

The Question

Beauty, much desired to ever last,

Like beauty and fragrances of Eden,

Endlessly odorous, feeding the eyes,

Soul contented, wholesome feeling arises,

Greatness defies barriers of seasonal changes.

The question of immortality,

If there is, one would never migrate,

From realities of life to spirituality,

Suppleness in command, gray shoved aside,

Is forever young a possibility?

Reminiscing the youth, there was once,

Strong desires to ward off seasoned looks,

Craziness to dance till the last song,

In every beat of the heart and in every vein,

With ease blood does flow, free from dirt of life.

Partially in dreamland,

Balqis

* This poem is written for fun. The inspiration came after reading Moonomo's post "Teenage Dream."

I was kidding and asking him whether there's a fountain of youth so that I could take a dip and stay young forever.

The reply was "No regrets, just love - we can dance till we die, will be young forever."

With Nothing Else In Mind

Lately, the weather here is too warm. On a very sunny afternoon like this, I have nothing else in mind. With very little ideas on what my post should be, earlier I spent some time visiting friends' blogs and commenting. Now, I'm lazing around.

A couple of days back, I visited Yileen's blog and read her fun tag. She had some very smart and funny answers which I loved reading. It made me smile. She said anyone can make a go at the questions. Now, I'm joining in the fun. There's nothing else I could think of other than something light and easy.

This is just for fun. Here are the questions :

1.  If God comes to your birthday party and gives you nothing as a present, what will you do?

I will thank God for His presence and that's the priceless present I ever had which will be so memorable in my life's history.

2.  If God comes to your birthday party and gives you a gorgeous gown, what will you do?

I will  put it on and pose for many snapshots because it is so heavenly! No designers gown could match it.

3.  If God comes to your birthday party and gives you a fabulous jewellery box as a present, what will you do?

I love accessories, so I will make use of it to keep some of my accessories and have it locked up in a safe place.

4.  If God comes to your birthday party and gives you a huge fish, what will you do?

 I will give it to the national aquarium for other people to see how great God's creation is.

5. If God gives you an Ipod on your birthday, what will you do?

Yehaaaa...this is what I have been waiting for! It will excite me so much and I will carry it around with pride and style!

6.  If God comes to your birthday party and gives you a hug, what will you do?

 It will be so unbelievable and I will, of course, ask "Oh my God! Is this really you hugging me??"
...... and
I will beg God to stop me from passing out for the big surprise he gives me. I want to remember that sweet moment forever!

That's it!  Have fun!

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.
