Mungkin juga sampai bila-bila,
Aku, kau, mereka,
Kita takkan berjumpa.
Gambar-gambar buat kenangan,
Semua itu aku tak perlu,
Masa lampau bagi kamu, sampai mati bagi aku,
Dalam mindaku, aku simpan.
Terbang, dihanyut zaman,
Gelak ketawa, senyuman, pandangan,
Semua hilang,
'Kali terakhir' aku bisikkan.

Note: Gah, this is cheesy as heck. I've never attempted 'poetry' in Malay because I believe that Malay is too pretty a language to be crafted into a piece by the likes of me. I'm crass, I'm almost blatantly cryptic, I can't regulate the softness. It all turn to mush. I haven't enough...I don't know, 'substance'? to pen anything worthwhile in Malay. Pendek kata, aku hina.
But I'd like to start trying...

Cheesy? Awak dapat merit Malay kot! No way can this be cheesy XD
ReplyDeleteYay, your first ever Malay poem! It's refreshing to see you write something in Malay (which is great!) Kalau buat bunga-bunga tanjung extra pun susah jugak kan, I like it this way :D
And by the way, this, is beautiful. Gonna miss you so much there.
You got a Merit for Malay too what~ Am gonna miss you a lot too in Aussie :S Nobody to share my silly 'interests' and 'findings' with.
ReplyDeleteN thanks. I heard this pretty Malay (or Indonesian? I'm not sure) song while in the Taxi on the way to KTM. Felt like giving it a shot :p
