An old one.

Be happy.

Feel lucky.

The pieces.

All over.

It’s there.

All that’s left to do is,

to find it.

Don’t hestitate.

It mught be too late.

Fix it.

Complete it.

Get a frame.

And it’s done.

Trying to forget you but I’m still going on,

It’s time we head for the finish line,

Just like we did before,

You told me once but I forgot, are we there,

Yet or are we not?

You used to be the one I looked out for,

When I’m feeling lost you were there always.

But then you left me,

All of a sudden for her,

Right when I was in misery,

Thanks a lot my dear.

Empty promises you made to me,

Said you would call me,

Said you would pick me up,

Guess they’re just words that’s meant to make me happy,

In the end I’m the one that’s hurt.

You’d said you’d come with me,

But I found myself alone.

When you’re done with me, out the door I go,

Standing in the doorway, all torn apart,

Hope that you were satisfied with what you got.

A year past and then you came back,

Finally when you did, you were what I had forget,

You were dead to me when you suddenly came to life,

Deceived and destroyed after knowing those lies.

What more do you want, wishing you never came back,

Wish we never met,

Just wished that we never met.

Keeping memories cause I guess we’ve reached the end,

Trying to forget you so everything goes according to planned,

We’re finished now, done, gone through it all,

You told me once but I forgot,

Guess I’m the only one there cause I know you’re not.

It took me a minute to like you.

It took me an hour to love you.

It took me a day to get to you.

It took me a week to know you.

It took me a month to be with you.

Bit it would take me more than a lifetime to forget you.

When he misses your eye contact,
When he repeats his speech again,
When he tries hard not to forget,
Do we actually feel ashamed?

When you see his toothless gums,
When you see his “hill-like” back,
When you feel his weakling arms,
Do we actually feel upset?

Blessings to those who understand,
An aged person’s faltering steps and shaking hands,
Blessings to those who seem to know,
An aged person’s dim eyes and mind so slow.

Blessings to those who never say,
“You’ve said that 3 times today”,
Blessings to those with cheery smiles,
Spending time with them for just a little while.

Blessings to those who make it known,
To the aged that they’re respected and they’re not alone,
Blessings to those who ease their days,
On their journey home, in many loving ways.

Didn’t know it wouldn’t last for next dawn.

Sitting by the beach, savoring a bar of Magnum,

Now, it is all gone.

A monster came and destroyed everything in a blink of an eye.

It left the island drenched and torn.

An innocent massacre I can’t deny,

Now, it is all gone.

Loss of families, friends and spouse,

Missing of mothers with the unborn.

Corpse scattered lying in pounds,

Now, it is all gone.

I won’t forget this hapless tragedy,

As my life goes on.

26 December 2004, Tsunami,

Now, it is all gone.

Truly, it is not.

Struggling during hard times,

And constantly get put on the spot.

Fighting hard to live,

And staying very strong.

Though you may not believe,

And you think I’m very wrong,

I may appear to be weak,

But you won’t see me fall.

Struggle after struggle,

Striving through it all.

Whatever life gives me and makes me

I am going to stand tall.

God had created everything in pairs,

Just like when there is moon, there is sun.

When there is heaven, there is hell,

When there is happiness, there is sadness,

When there is Adam, there is Eve.

But as everything comes in a pair,

There would be someone who thinks there are singles.

All these kinds of people are typical,

Stubborn yet kind, charming yet mischievous,

These people would be a part and parcel of your life sooner or later,

The ones who made your life has ups and downs.

And just like the saying goes ‘Nobody is Perfect’

Yet ‘Practice makes Perfect‘

End of Time is End of the World

Have you ever wondered what would happen when the time ends?

You and me, no more, vanished into nowhere/

Different religions, different beliefs,

It’s frightening when you know these facts,

The fear in your heart would be remembered,

The fear of losing your loved ones,

Never to meet them again,

Grieve with sorrow,

Your character, your personality, your life,

Would soon come to an end.

End of time, end of the world.

No people, no buildings,

No plants, no animals,

Earth would vanish,

And so would the solar system,

There might be the next starting of life, maybe not,

Who knows except God.

End of time is end of the world,

Where the time would vanish.

End of world means no Earth and nothing at all.

After life, means heaven or hell

I believe,

Everyone would go to heaven, it is just sooner or later,

Sooner for those with good deeds,

Later for those with bad sins

You should be afraid if you had done bad sins,

You may cry, moan or whine

But you don’t have the choice

He does, and He would make it sooner or later

End of time, end of world

It is coming,

I know it

Truth would be lies, and lies would be true,

Animals would talk in our tongue,

Evil people being influenced,

Sun rises in East and sets in West

End of time, end of world

It would come,

Your heart would feel it,

Deep inside,

It’s going to end

Everything.

Love

When we say about love, do you really know what it means?

Love isn’t saying ‘ Would you marry me? ‘

Love isn’t giving your partner what you have

Love could be complicated

Love is blind

Love could be harmful and dangerous

Love could be fatal

If you love somebody, you would know what love is.

Love is saying ‘I do.‘

Love is sharing what you both have

Love could be easygoing

Love is who we are

Love could be joyful and happy

Love could be as sweet as apple pie

You can express love in different languages but it only has one meaning.

You can experience love in different ways but it is just a part and parcel of your life.

The wonderful thing about love is being able to let the other people know how much you care about them.

You just have to cherish them before anything untoward happens.

I lied to myself saying you are forgotten
Instead, I lost hope
And thought I was rotten
Wondered how I coped
With this big slope

One day I smiled,
I wonder how I did that
I tried not to revile
And just scared.

I know this is absurd
Sometimes I couldn’t stop shedding tears
Because my heart is blistered.

 When I met two friends since sec one,

I thought that we could be friends forever,

But then in the mid of sec two,

One of us leaves.

I felt so upset, cause the one who left us,

Was a best friend, I treat him as my brother,

I start to talk to myself at home,

I usually talk to him,

I miss being friends with him,

He was like a brother to me

We used to study, play and joke together,

But all of that is just a memory for me to remember,

I don’t know what did I did,

That all of this happened,

All of that turned into dead memories.

I pray and hope that he would come back,

Everyday, everytime I see him.

I wanted to talk to him,

But I was scared that things become worst,

When we were best friends,

We called ourselves SAF.

I think that friendships can last forever,

Depends on the type of friends we have.

He was a good friend,

He was like a motivator to me.

His name is Alfian

He was like a brother to me.
