A name in any other place...


The whole world will recognise the name as arguably the best footballer in the world at the moment.

But in Malaysia...

It is but a biscuit.

The road once taken

The road once taken lay before me
Begs me a decision
Retracing, Detracting
Of familiar experience
Of new adventures

The maybes?
Reminisce or mystery
Of noticing an ignorant past journey
Until a desicion
The road once taken still lay before me

My sweet longing


The bridge between us is stretched
With a Miracle that defies the norm
As stretched is it may seem
Stronger thus its core will be

Linger on your presence is
Even though you're not with me
Within me you still exist
Always more than just a memory

I long for the sweetness of you
When you fill my heart with glee
The scent of the morning dew
A touch that brings life in me

I long for the anger you show
And your fiery vulnerability
The daily naggings in my ear
Your heart when you share your fear

I long for the spirit you bring
Contagious an infection it is
Though you never ever seem to see
You're always a sunshine to me

This longing that I am feeling
Stabs me where it hurts the most
I can't explain this hurting emotion
Yet addictive and intoxicating

All the beauty and sorrow we share
It colours my life indefinitely
No other choices will I make
But the sweet longing that you bring.

You teach some by what you say...

Tell and instruct. This is wrong, that is wrong. It should be this way. Thats not how you do it. Typical teachers. Just say, not knowing whats inside. Telling me what to do. Thats the correct way. Instructor.

...teach more by what you do... ...

See how I do it. Thats how I used to do it. Look at the way I do things. Doing. The how. The method. The way. Be an example in methodology. Manager.

but most of all, you teach most by who you are.

Just be me. Be you.

Inspire. Aspire. Leader.

Audiences

Secluded space in the middle of everyone
Will a soul spend time in silence?
Focusing to a voice among millions
From a corner of conciousness

I am here
On an altar surrounded by all
Standing up
While everyone faces out
I will speak
With a voice drowned in noise
Expressing
My thoughts and feelings shared
Reaching out
To an audience of none

In a space where millions dwell
Lights will shine eclipsed by some
Stars collapse and born anew
An epoch of moments cycling through

Im still here
A soul confined by conscience
Reaching out
For connectedness and love
Intertwined
Light and dark for all around me
As I speak
Of my heart and my mind
Even if
I only reach
An audience of one

An earnest return?

My gratitude for inspiration
In its absence, so was I from this space
An earnest return?
Earn this return

Resurrect, renew, rejuvenate, resuscitate
Restart, reboot, reload, return

And yet all it requires is that little bit of will
To set me behind the keys
And engage myself
In a plethora of expressions.
