Kali Terakhir

Mungkin bukan esok, ataupun lusa,
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...
