Here I am, once again,
trying to wash away my sins,
unable to get rid of the imprint on my soul

Your simplicity soothes my heart's anxieties.

It’s complicated
and I am too
there was a map here
yesterday
lost it
somehow
somewhere
Can’t find it
anywhere
Can you?
Deep roots grounded into the earth,
A pragmatic way of being,
I've finally realised my worth,
And a horizon I am seeing.
Let blockheads read what blockheads wrote,
Lord Chesterfield once said.
Thereby inviting us to judge him
As a dunderhead.

Let wise men read what wise men wrote
Is what I say instead,
And you may judge me for yourself
Since my work’s quite widespread.
this invisible monster is strong and i'm stronger,
but right now i'm just tired
sekiranya kau dapati dirimu
cemaskan diriku
maka tunggulah aku
pulang..

dalam pelukmu,
dalam relungmu,

aku kan datang
kembali padamu

obati aku,
rinduku,
dengan hangat kehadiranmu
yang tak kunjung henti
kunanti

jemputlah aku
sebelum hilang
rasa madu
dari bibirmu..
