#408 On Socks and Pitchforks

Gather your pitchforks 
Let me ride your blind anger,
Your rude, mindless rage.

#403 On Your Main Character Syndrome

You fancy yourself
A hero - anything to
Dull the fear of Death.

On Pencilled Flight

In grid-lined pages 
Thoughts and dreams take pencilled flight
Like wild geese they fly.

On The Midday Heat

Scorching midday heat
Melts me down to a puddle
Of hot resentment.

Tentang Sujud dan Doa

Pada Mu, Tuhan
Aku sujud berdoa
Memohon ampun.

On This Ball of Fur

You were all curled up
A ball of fur, purring low
Soft amidst pillows.

On Karaoke

Just the two of us
Belting out with hearts ablaze
Each song a dark fire

On Roaring Thunder

Thunder roars loudly
In the night sky, as rain falls
Down on this parched earth.

On Getting By

Through gritted teeth we
Say pleasant things to get by:
False smiles hide hurt hearts.

On Biting Words

In spite of myself
These words, they come unbidden
Biting at the seams.
