At 3

A proposal made at 3
I toyed with it
Went back and forth with it
Nothing good ever happens at an hour like that
And titillating as the stranger might be
I wonder if I can survive the morning-after
This is not my life anymore, I remind myself

But I didn't want to be alone that night
Not that night, for some reason
So I closed my eyes and told him to convince me
Why should I honour him with my time
What's in it for me...
Be creative, I told him

And he pitched, boy, was it a good pitch
With my eyes still shut, I listened to every word he said
I got lost in the promise, the assurance
I will make it worth your time, he said, his voice eager
Go on, I said, tell me more

And he weaved the most delicious of words
Then, the unexpected happened...
I heard your voice muttering his words
I snapped out of his lure
And told him no

Kau Nampak Tak Bulan Malam Ni?

 

Kau nampak tak bulan malam ni?
Cantik, kan? Terang sungguh bercahaya...

Dalam terang aku kegelapan seakan buta
Kalau ikut hati, mahu saja aku melangkah kearah bulan
Tapi aku tahu orak langkahku akan sia-sia
Tak akan sampai walau beribu batu aku berjalan

Kau nampak tak bulan malam ni?
Cantik, kan? Bulan penuh memang cantik...

Aku pula yang rasa kosong tengok bulan yang penuh
Mungkin, inilah juga yang dirasa pungguk
Tiap malam menunggu, merindu, tak kenal erti jenuh
Biar kedaifannya sering dihina dan dikutuk

Kau nampak tak bulan malam ni?
Cantik, kan? Sampaikan bintang pun segan nak berkilau

Tapi biar bersinar bulan, dia tetap sendiri
Bulan takut didekati...
Makin dihampiri, makin dia berlari
Bulan, tidak kah kau merasa sunyi?

I Miss The Sea

I miss the sea...

I always imagine going to the open sea.

On a small boat, perhaps.

A yacht, if I'm feeling fancy.

I'll get sea-sick, I'm sure of that.

But take me to the sea, nonetheless.

To hear the waves hitting surfaces.

To see the stars decorating the sky.

To ask myself everything, from 'how' to 'why'.

I miss the sea...

Hot

3.47 a.m

And I want you so bad

To have you on my lips

To taste you on my tongue

To hold you in my hand

To look you in the eye

To breathe in your ear

And whisper...

You are the hottest thing I've ever done

You are the hottest thing to ever happened to me

To be skin-close to you like I did again

So hot...

I'll gladly fucking burn

I Write Pantun Too

Kalau tak sempat duduk lama

Dibuaian laman saya menanti

Kalau tak dapat hidup bersama

Dipangkuan tuan saya nak mati

I need to write more of 'em.

How Half Of Today Went - Shorts

Wake up
(not thinking about you)
Get ready for work
(not thinking about you)
Traveling on the bus
(not thinking about you)
Get on the train
(not thinking about you)
Have breakfast
(not thinking about you)
Go about my day hustling
(not thinking about you)

Not thinking
Not thinking
Not thinking
Not thinking...

And then the wind blows.

Red

I bought a red lipstick

In the shade that you like

The kind worn for seduction

Deep, temptress red

The red I'm not allowed to wear

If you're not around

"For my eyes only," you warned

The red that will look even better

If I get my hair dyed blonde

"Imagine that; blonde hair, red lips," you said, 

"And because you're covered -

No one knows what you look like -

Underneath all that but me..."

I remember

All I can do now is remember

Oh, guess what they've named

This red lipstick that I've bought

In the shade that you like?

'Heartbreaker'

Like you...
