recurring dawn

sigh~
i realise that my English is not perfect, try as i may to improve, i fall back flat on my fanny... compared to my fellow coursemates, i'm still back there, frantically trying to claw my way to the front... compared to Nour El-Qalby, i'm light-years behind... humbled and grounded...

sigh~
i want to have the control over words like them, bend it, order it around, let the words express my deepest emotions... but the more i try, the more i fall short of it... maybe the way of the words is not meant for a savage like me... but i just can't let it go....

sigh~
i may look obnoxious and bold and confident and loud... but says who, it is not just a facade, a mask i wear to cover the sensitive, vulnerable me... English had always provided me, a haven that i can be in when i'm down... had always been my protective layer... had always been a front that i used to face the evil and cruel world... it makes me feel good about myself...

sigh~
i'm not a pretentious s.o.a.b****, a "mat salleh celup", a western "barua", and God forbid an infidel... is it wrong for me to use the only weapon that i have to face their antics... the only thing that i know will make them feel inferior... i'm not trying to elevate myself but is merely trying to protect....

An end... but not quite!

Just leave but never forget
This story ain't finishing yet
Cos nothing had yet been set
Our heart had only just met

To promise eternity, too tall
To be silent, i might fall
Striving still to find my call
'fraid still to give my all

Ambitions soaring high
Helplessly flailing in the sky
Hope not to fall and die
So all i can do is cry, and cry, and cry

crappophobicle!

Today, a thought strikes me... Well, kinda... If people had known what to expect from life... What will they do? Will they change anything? More important, will they change themselves? Be someone new just so they can save something...

Weird, just weird...

*information*

Rona Lidsa is a name that i cooked up just for the sake of it... so any poems bearing that mark in this blog is mine... LOL! Any questions or suggestions can be left on the comment section or mailed to me... it will be entertained when i get the chance... TOODLES!

A Shack in a Vast Green Field

Whisper the air to me,
"Each and everyday I blew,
And lull you slowly til you're through".
Reach deep to hold and not let it be,
Yearns to stand but I already am .....

Here i am, standing

On this fragile glass

Painting a view, serene

In its splendor. Offering

Neverending support. I must

Gather by every means.

16/07/08

Write me a sonnet or two

And sweep me with the rhymes

Reaching deep, holding true

Mystify me till the end of time!!

16/07/08

I sat and stared and wandered

Lonely into oblivion

Voices and faces flickered

Leaving behind, retribution.

But cared not

Affected not.

23/07/08

Whisper, whisper, whisper,

Whisper, whisper, whisper,

Whisper, whisper, whisper.

The wind breathing easily.

I whisper.

23/07/08

Bisik, bisik, bisik,

Bisik, bisik, bisik,

Bisik, bisik, bisik.

Angin bertiup senang.

Bisikku

Sing my angel a song,

Include me in your rhyme.

Lift me up, let me fly.

Enclosed me within, among

Neverending lovers in time.

Cause i'll fall if alone i try.

Every thoughts i had sequenced.

Daringly i wanted to shout, but i am...

01/08/08

Sedang ku jatuh ke bawah

Ku lihat ke atas

Biru, bersih hamparan langit

Tenang, menenangkan.

Sedang ku jatuh ke bawah

Ku lihat ke atas

Kawanan burung meluncur girang

Bebas, membebaskan.

Sedang ku jatuh ke bawah

Ku lihat ke atas

Menuju akhir, terlambat sudah

Sedarku, tangisku.

20/08/08

Jerit, jerit, jerit!

Jerit, jerit, jerit!

Jerit hatiku yang bisu

Gundah dalaman yang bercelaru

Tepu

Haru

Jerit, jerit, jerit!

Jerit, jerit, jerit!

Jeritan insani

Minta didengari

Jerit!

-Disebalik senyum yang dilakar-

Disebalik senyum yang dilakar
Riang dan girang
Disebalik senyum yang dilakar
Sendu dan sayu

-Rona Lidsa-



-Sepi itu yang membingitkan-

Sepi itu yang membingitkan
Riuh itu yang menenangkan
Sepi, riuh, riuh, sepi

Sepi, riuh, riuh, sepi
Riuh itu yang menghidupkan
Sepi itu yang mematikan

-Rona Lidsa-



-Pemergian itu satu peringatan-

Pemergian itu satu peringatan
Kepada mereka mereka
Kepada mereka mereka
Yang mahu mengetahui
Yang sedar

-Rona Lidsa-



-Senyum tawa riang gembira-

Senyum tawa riang gembira
Kosong tanpa makna
Lohong tanpa erti
Jika engkau belum lagi
Memerdekakan diri

-Rona Lidsa-



-Lantaran kedhaifan-

Lantaran kedhaifan
Lantaran kecetekan
Berlakunya kesesatan
Belajar, belajar
Belajar dari sesatmu itu

-Rona Lidsa-



-Dedaun yang melambai-

Dedaun yang melambai
Memanggilku pergi
Tinggal dunia ini
Realiti tiada erti
Sekadar memori
Silih berganti

Angin yang membisik
Kata-kata dusta yang permai
Mimpi-mimpi kosong yang damai
Lembut dan syahdu membelai
Sepanjang susuran denai
Tiada nilai

-Rona Lidsa-



-Bisik, bisik, bisik-

Bisik, bisik, bisik
Bisik, bisik, bisik
Ombak yang bisu
Bisikku

-Rona Lidsa-



-Katakan sahaja semua-

Katakan sahaja semua
Bebas dari belenggu
Yang merantai jiwa
Tepu dan dungu

-Rona Lidsa-
