Two Hearts Beating, Oceans Apart, Will The Moon Shine Or Will The Moon Cry

Two hearts beating     

Oceans apart

Will the moon shine

Or will the moon cry

Like Hou Yi pining

For the mate

Immortal transformed

By a fate capricious,

Or not

The rabbit,

Its sign

Oh sigh!

Will the moon shine

Or will the moon cry

Have You Ever Thought

Have You Ever Thought

Have you ever thought

That god insults you

Or that evolution

Is a bungling, lumbering,

Ponderous tortoise,

A laughable beast

More pitiable 

Than a creep

What Do I Know?

What Do I Know?

The kenduri is over

Rain spatters on the canopy

And beats a noisy symphony on the awning

The ground is glistening from the wet

The cats have long stopped fighting

Crickets silenced

And frogs rendered a-amourous, 

surprisingly

Lightnings adding to the quiet drama

What do I know?

The Magic Of Rain And  Mamak Stall : Coming Home

.....the rain begins to beat harder and stronger outside. The road is empty of vehicles and the shops are closed. The mamak shop is quiet and I am the last customer as the owner switches off all the lights. Now it's getting darker and colder. Everywhere is so silent and peaceful.... I am going home....

Those Were The Days

Those Were The Days

The Heavens?

Today it has stopped raining,
for the first time after five wet days
I love the quiet as I look out
of the window
It brings me back to the days when
I was a child
When you have no concept of Tomorrow,
or Yesterday
When all it matters is the moment,
the NOW
When even eating a meal
is a disturbing distraction
When totality is what happens
NOW, not

At my work station

doing nothing in particular

Just reflecting

Embraced In The Now, Ignorant As A New Born Child

Embraced In The Now, Ignorant As A New Born Child

Outside, a light  rain is still falling

The ground now wet and glistening

Raindrops pattering on the awning

All have gone to sleep

Crickets and frogs have retired too,

strangely 

Everything is still

In the dark and quiet,

I breathe in the fresh air

Grateful to be alone

Embraced now in the moment

Not knowing anything

Ignorant as a new born child

What does matter?

What does it matter?

On A Dark Quiet Morning

Pic By Ordinary Malaysian

On a dark quiet morning         

With only the moon

Peeking out of the clouds 

Standing alone at the window

With a gentle breeze blowing,

I smile

At the memory of the past

And drink in its embrace

Like a hungry pub

Knowing
