di endau – “book of sins”
ungkapan laut di langit hitam
bintang dilihat dalam lautan
sangkutnya jala berukir hati
bagaikan cinta ku harap disisi
jaringan bibir bagaikan sesikat
nyiur dihanyut seimbas ombak
pohon ibu dilepas bayu
bagaikan hati menggisir batu
disinilah cinta menyerang aku
disinilah aku diserang kamu
O how I’ve forgotten how beautiful Malay poetry can be!
One can almost sense the desire and longing.
Mmmmmuuuuaaaah….mmmmmuuuuuuaaaaaah…..mmmmmuuuuaaaaah!
I kiss your blog, Lang Noi! Jane would certainly be touched by your poems about her. Thanks for blogrolling me (do it again!) -
will be delighted to blogroll you too
Sajak ini sangat cantik terutama di 2 rangkap terakhir.
Whoa. I know you’ve prolly heard this a million times before, but that was brilliant. I’m still sitting here trying to get my jaw off the floor. I had no idea you could do Malay poetry too.
I also really liked The Mother Files. Forgive my ignorance, but was she taken by cancer? I have seen many cancer patients give vent to their feelings in beautiful prose. Tragedy often inspires some of humanity’s best writing.
I’m adding you to my blogroll. Hope you don’t mind the heading I’ve given you
