You are Alive

When the sun burns your skin
and lights you up with sin,
when the nights seem longer,
and your dream's getting clearer,
when you wish you'd said the things you feel,
and let them know they are all real.

When the moon shines
and it makes you blind,
when you're awake everyday
and you're wondering if it's the last day,
when the dark skies disappear,
and the hurricane takes control of your desire.

You are alive.

Absolutely Nothing

Absolutely Nothing

A poem written by Osoanon Nimuss. Sad but meaningful. I'm crying.

Found the pictures on tumblr.

Masquerade

I am wondering, contemplating, seeing
figures with masks attached to their faces.
Different colours and shapes.
Some beautiful. Some peculiar.
And the rests are just shallow.

And I can't help but ponder,
What kind of life are they living?
Is it full of adventures?
Is it full of unachieved dreams?
Is it full of euphorias?
or is it just another deep, endless. black hole?

If grievance were to befall them,
Would they be heedless of it?
or will they accept it with an open arms?

The strongest wins.
The weakest dies.
Now let the dance begin!

I say: I'm getting rusty. Ai yai yai! Photo is not mine.

Comeback!

Assalamualaikum beautiful creatures!

Waaahhhh!! It's been ages since I've written a new poem!! And it's already 2013! Sorry guys, it's not you it's me. My inspirations don't come visiting me that often anymore. And to top it all of, I've been tangling up with lots of mind-tiring life conflicts. So yeah, my life is action-packed, occasionally boring, but never disappointing! Just the way I know it. Hehe.. 

I miss writing poems. Haven't realized how much until I realized my name means 'poet'. Like I'm not kidding. Really.  

Therefore, I, with such humility, am ever so grateful to those of you who have been waiting patiently for me to make a comeback! Or not. God I miss being dramatic! :)

Khilaf

Ku menunduk ke langit,
mencari diri yang hilang.
Ku mendongak ke lantai.
menghapus segala amarah.

Mungkin aku tidak mengerti,
mungkin juga aku tidak melihat.
Penglihatan kabur kerna kejahilan.

Masa terhenti seketika.
Buat sekian kalinya engkau jatuh,
kerna payahnya untuk berdiri.

Ku menunduk ke langit,
mencari diri diantara bintang.
Ku mendongak ke lantai.
menghapus segala khilaf.

The Confession

Wait, let him straight out the story,

the last confession for the liar.

His companion's waiting at the end of the glory,

wondering if he'll be joining her.

He knows the ripple of his action.
The pebble swings free with liberality.
Why should he hear the words of fiction,
When he can speak the reality?

Weakened at the end of misery.
He should have known better,
how life really is in actuality,

So he wrote his life in a piece of paper,

and come back to his mortality.

'Let's Go Out and Kill Someone'

Don't just sit there when the time is slow,

Let's go out and kill someone.
Lose your pride cause they're just for show,
you feel it in your heart that this is for the long run.

Go out and kill someone,

Play with them, then break them apart-
like fragile dolls left out in the sun,
then put a little darkness in their heart.

Just go out and kill someone,

your words hurt deeper than a gun.
Once you're done just find another one,

And your heart will never feel undone.

You Can Share My Umbrella

The Sun shines brightly today,
It'll be perfect for me I say.
Wrap my feet with an old shoe,
and keep walking wherever it wishes to.
What a funny place to stop at,
I found myself in front a small shack.
As I keep contemplating I am thinking,
perhaps I am sleepwalking.
I look up at the Sky,
the Sun is already feeling shy.
Dark, fluffy, cotton candy like,
comes suddenly in sight.
The rain comes down at last,
merrily and seemingly fast.
But the drops are not touching,
It seems almost amazing.
So I look up in awe,
There he stands, saying:

"You can share my umbrella."

Let's Have Breakfast On Tuesday

Open your eyes and see me,

with a smile and wonder.

Let's have breakfast on Tuesday.

Or maybe just any other day.

But I prefer Tuesday.

It's happiness and Love.

It's the day the flowers bloom,

and the Sun doesn't hurt.

So, let's have breakfast on Tuesday.

I'm Not Brave

I've seen way too deep,

and my heart breaks to pieces.

I am not brave.

But I don't have to say it,

because so are you.

Play back all the sad times.

Even so, I have no regrets.

I am not brave.

But so are you.

My Shoes Are Calling

My shoes are calling,

travel once more

into the outside fantasy.

It's been lost and outreached.

Running out of time and space.

My shoes are calling,

keeping promise of company,

until the day I arrive.
