Very Amazing YearS

Very Amazing YearS

For the very amazing years;

I have passed the roads of life;

Sometimes I passed smooth roads;

Some other time I passed stony sandy roads;

And even I had to climb up and walk through desert

And fell down several times.
Some other travelers did not care;

But there were still some others who gave their hands;

Pulling me up to walk again.

Many things happened along the trip of life;

But one thing for sure;

The more I walked, the stronger I became, and the more experiences I got.

I feel very grateful;

For having been in this very amazing years of life;

For having been together with kind travelers.

Indeed, this trip has not finished yet;

The very amazing years of life keep going on;

Walking through good and bad roads of life;

Facing, getting in touch with kinds of other travelers of life;

Doing and sharing good things as the mission of life;

Feeling grateful to God Who controls this trip of life;

Being thankful to other travelers;

And of course preparing myself to be ready to finish this trip of life.

SEPARATE AWAY

SEPARATE AWAY

Darling,
For the love we hope to be forever;
For the wishes we hope will come true;
For the chances we hope will be possible;
I let you go for a while.
I believe that it's to get something better.
Be sure that longing is the color of our great love.
Just count the longing till the time you will dedicate to me,
as I do.
Be sure, Darling,
Dream of me is still our love song.
"My Darling, I'll be home
in your arms where I belong,
so I'm sending you this poem from my heart"
DREAM OF MY, DARLING.

I'M HUMAN BEING

I'M HUMAN BEING

Shell belongs to fruit,
Leather belongs to animal,
and skin belongs to me, human being.
I don't want to replace my skin with shell nor leather.
So, will I replace my heart with the heart of fruit or animal?
I have brain to think
I have heart to feel
I have faith to believe.
I'm not fruit nor animal.
I'm a man who has aim of life.

RIDING

RIDING

Come on, Dear
Take our horses
It's the time for us
to begin our riding
to reach our destination
the real destination.
Remember, Dear
As you're still beside me
I'll always take care about you
As we're still together in heart
It will be a nice riding
The riding from which we can learn more.
Don't worry, Dear
Although we'll climb many hills and mountains
And even we'll find valleys and canyons
And maybe we'll ride in the darkness
God will help us
If we always remember Him.

(T. Kuantan 26 July 1996)

GOD'S RULE

I ask God a beautiful flower, He gives me a spine cactus.
I ask God a beautiful animal, He gives me an ugly maggot.
I feel it is not fair, God does not give what I want. But the cactus grows and has beautiful flower, and the maggot grows become a beautiful butterfly. It is God's role. It will be good and beautiful when the time comes!
God does not give what we want and hope, He gives what we need. Sometimes we feel disappointed, but above all, He has ruled the best things for our life.

FOR YOU

FOR YOU

Can I deny the love you give to me
If I do get it anytime.
Can I refuse the love you offer to me
If I do need it anywhere.
Can I turn around from the love you express to me
If I do take it, if I do use it.

I have to realize
I hope you anytime
I need you anywhere
You light my days
You touch my heart
You burn my spirit.

I have to say
No one is in my heart except you
I can't turn around from you
You are too special for me to be forgotten

Tell me
What I should do to know you more
Teach me
What I have to do to deepen my love to you.
Tell me, teach me.

IF

IF

If I could write on the sky,
I'd write your name over there.
If I had wings to fly,
I'd bring you to the sky.
If I were Shakespeare,
I'd write poems for you everyday.
If you ask me to leave you,
I don't know what to do...

I WILL NEVER

I WILL NEVER

I will never say goodbye
although you have left me
you have gone away
'cause you will always be in my heart.

I will never hate you
although you don't love me anymore
you don't care about me anymore
'cause my love is only for you.

I will never forget you
although you are not here anymore
you are not mine anymore
'cause many things that we have done together.

LET ME

LET ME

Let me know you
with all curiousity scrambling in my heart.
Let me get closer to you
with all wishes prompting in my heart.
Let me love you
with all love coming from my heart.
Let me miss you
with all longing crying from heart.
Let me touch you
with all sense of love playing in my heart.
Let me be yours
with all beautiful things that I have.
Let me remember you
with all sweet memories between us.
Let me, Dear, let me...

AN ODE FOR YOU

AN ODE FOR YOU

Who can reject the fate brings me to see you, to know you, to care about you.
Who can lie the truth tells me that you are good looking, you are smart.
Who can ignore that you are different from others, you are special.
The fate has brought me to see, know, care, and even love you.
The truth has made me sure that you have something to make me look at you, and praise you.
Yes, you are different, and too special to be forgotten.
I just want to be someone beside you,
To share your sadness and happiness.
I just want to be a shoulder to crying on.
I don’t care if you will be mine forever or no.
If you ask me why.....
My heart will answer....
“It’s a fate that I love you”.

Meaning for You

Meaning for You

I'm not the sun that can light the world,
but only a candle that try to lighten your darkness.
I'm not the river to take the water,
but only a few drops of dew for your thirst.
I'm not a palace in where you can stay well,
but only a shack to take a rest.
I'm not a hero to win the battle,
but only a volunteer giving a help.
I'm not a big ship across the ocean,
but only a little boat to survive.
I'm not anyone important,
but...
I want to be someone who has meaning
in your life,
in your future,
in your passion of life,
in your heart.

If Tomorrow Will Never Come

If Tomorrow Will Never Come

If tomorrow will never come,
I won't feel sorry
since I've said that I love you.

If you won't be mine forever,
I won't feel sorry
'cause you're with me today.

If I'll die tomorrow,
I won't feel sorry
since I've seen you today.

HOW CAN I FORGET YOU

HOW CAN I FORGET YOU

How can I forget your smile,

if I still remember the way you did it.

How can I forget your name,

if my lips still whisper it every time.

How can I forget your shadow,

if it still come into my dreams.

How can I take you away from my heart,

if your name is still in its beating.

How can I hate you, darling…

if I still miss you,

if I still love you,

if I do need you,

here, beside me…

for the time left…

(Pekanbaru, Dec. ‘09)
