"WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, ANOTHER OPENS, BUT WE OFTEN LOOK SO LONG AND SO REGRETFULLY UPON THE CLOSED DOOR THAT WE DO NOT SEE THE ONE THAT HAS OPENED FOR US."

Happy Father's Day
This special Father's Day wish
That comes with love to you
Brings warm and heartfelt thanks
For all the thoughtful things you do
It also comes to let you know
You mean more to me each day
To everyone your lives have touched
In such a loving way
You're a daddy who is loving and kind
Someone who's listens, suggests and defends
Thanks daddy for listening and caring
For giving and sharing
But, especially for just being you!
Happy Father's Day
This love is really rare
Happy Day with love daddy
From your lovely son...

Go Fishing
As bike go by I cast my mind's eye
Over back packs on green bubu
Beyond the horizon
Where dream makers
Working white plastic processors
Wearing shirt and short three quarter
Reach for the pie in the sky
Go fishing my friend!
We set out in the estate
With a bike full of problems about everything
About light devices
And how nice natural water is
We cut down some trees
And we trailed our camp
Through the forest glade
We dammed up the stream
And the kids cooled their heels
In the fishing pool we'd went
We held worms and we installed thems
And we practically lived off the land
You adopted a fish and ill
Whose mother was somebody's coat
You fed him by hand
And then snuggled snuggled him down
By the father's chair while I wrote
We grew our own maize
And I only occasionally went into town
To stock up on antibiotics
And shells for the dagger that I kept around
I told the kids stories while you worked your loom
And the sun went down sooner each day.
*Chapter three in which Naza has a work
And gets two plastics of worm
Friend...come on dude
Naza the old green motorbike stood by the side
Of the stream and he stood down under the sun
"Pathetic" he said, "That's what it is"
"Good morning Naza" said Ayim
"Oh" said Ayim, He thought for a long time
The leaves all fell down
Our crops all turned brown
It was over
As the first snowflakes fell
I realized all was not well in the camp
The kids caught bronchitis
The space oil ran out of gasoline
One weekend a friend from the East
Rot his soul
Stole your heart
I said "Fuck it then
Take the kids back home
Maybe I'll see you around"
And so...leaving all our hopes and dreams
To the wind and the rain
Taking only our stash
Left our litter and trash
And set out on the road again
On the road again
Bye Bye friend, Bye friend
You can bring Pearl she's a darn nice girl
But don't bring Court.

Kota Kecundang
Rendangnya pepohon menghijau
Mencuit hati mengukir senyuman
Gugurnya dedaun yang mekar
Umpama seseorang yang rebah ke bumi
Terbina istana cantuman berdua
Dari bata dan batuan cinta
Berbumbungkan romantika ayat kasih
Menjadikan kota bersih dan suci
Pecahnya dinding-dinding cinta
Bertaburan gugur ayatan sayang
Ditembak oleh peluru kebencian
Dimamah sikap insan yang dekat
Terselit perasaan kecundang
Sayu, pedih, menderitanya aku
Kepahitan dan kesakitan berkubu
Yang kian membesar didalamnya
Kesetiaan kian karam
Ditelan gelora hati yang pedih
Melafazkan mentera yang berbunga
Yang tidak pula tersirat didalamnya
Sengsara yang tiada penghujung
Perjalanan yang tiada penamat
Waktu dan harta dikorbankan
Untuk membina sebuah kota
Tapi hanya sekadar bayangan
Roboh dalam sekelip mata
Seorang tak bisa ketahui
Deritanya aku seorang diri
Bak pelayaran ditengah lautan
Saat lautan bergelora diributan
Melihatmu yang serba cantik
Tanpa jelak tatapi berhari-hari
Apa maksud yang ingin dihurai
Apa pula perasaanmu terhadapku?
