Kalau pulang,
Lazimnya ada gulai ayam kampung tersedia bawah saji
Kalau mahu yg panas,
Ceduk dalam periuk. 
Tapai semalam sudah siap diperam
Atur atur dalam mangkuk,
Angkat untuk tetamu,
Kadang kadang, segarnya tapai dari tangan dia,
kami anak beranak cucu cicit jua yang habiskan. Heh.
Pagi tadi, baik tapai mahupun gulai ayam kampung dua dua tiada di meja.

Dulunya, 
Ketupat palas dipintal sendiri oleh tangan tua penuh kasih sayang,
Pagi ini, ketupat masih ada, cuma dari tangan berbeza, .

Waktu bersalaman,
Seolah ada bayangan si tua yang angguk memaafkan.
Sebelum  kamera merakam satu foto keluarga,
Sempat aku berpaling 
Ada satu ruang kosong di sofa coklat itu,
Yang seharusnya diisi oleh insan yang kami rindu.
Dalam kiraan tiga, semua mata melekat ke jurufoto, Menguntum senyum seolah tok masih bersama
.

Al fatihah. Tiada ikatan kekeluargaan ini akan terhenti setelah tok pergi. Berbahagialah, tok. Kami bakal menyusul. 
Rasa lain, mungkin sebab pertama kali beraya nenek tidak bersama. 😔 alhamdulillah ki masih ada. ☺️ Taqabballahu minna waminkum 🌸🌼

That day, maybe you were looking for punctuation marks to put to our relationship. I imagined you scribbled through the choices of marks you have. Unfortunately you were not even confused.

That day, it was far from your imagination how vulnerable i had been-- of your fears and your words. I am not that kind of girl who would spam your chats asking why. I respect all your say. That day, you never knew how anxious i was. My pills was not helping-- and finally it only slow down my heart beats when i was overdose. Closing eyes was not calming, deep breath was nothing but in vain. None could see that my heart may pound hard but it is indeed dead. The death with no grave. That day, I did not know where to find my comfort. I grab my car key and drove off to where i call home; no hesitation, no second thoughts. Never you know how that journey was a painful struggl

The things you left unsaid;

Of 365 days you could ruin, Why today? Of all the feelings you could fake, Why love? Of countless words you could say, Why lies? Of lists of promises you could give, Why poisons? And Of so many people you could hurt, Why me?

Safe place

"A lot of people ask me what my biggest fear is, or what scares me most. And I know they expect an answer like heights, or closed spaces, or people dressed like animals, but how do I tell them that when I was 17 I took a class called Relationships For Life and I learned that most people fall out of love for the same reasons they fell in it. That their lover’s once endearing stubbornness has now become refusal to compromise and their one track mind is now immaturity and their bad habits that you once adored is now money down the drain. Their spontaneity becomes reckless and irresponsible and their feet up on your dash is no longer sexy, just another distraction in your busy life. Nothing saddens and scares me like the thought that I can become ugly to someone who once thought all the stars were in my eyes I never expected this to be my most popular poem out of the hundreds I’ve written. I was extremely bitter and sad when I wrote this and I left out the most beautiful part of tha
