The Beauty of Imperfection

I've had just enough time...   to appreciate the imperfection of Life

Taken the same misty morning of the lake in Ampang Hill, Kuala Lumpur

I draw my lines straight

And my circles round

I pray to the God of Order

And fight chaos every day

I search for symmetry

The way some search for Truth

And I thought I found it in a pyramid

I explained Life through logic

Believed in the power of deduction

For everything has a reason

Even God

Only waiting to be found

When I understand

I will know what it is all about

Meanwhile I am a searcher, a seeker,

An explorer, an adventurer, a priest

But none of these titles fit

Till one day close to dying on my bed

A little hand on mine brought barren wells to life

Alas, I realized too late –

I was only meant to live

Dragons In Love

I've had just enough time...   to witness dragons in love

Taken one early misty morning in Ampang Hills, Kuala Lumpur

Dragons in love

Shook the world apart

Restored the knight's faith

Weary of killing

Down sword and shield

To take up the plough

Planted seeds of hurt that

Burst into a thousand bloom

Attracted the Monarch

From far away

But the knight was not impressed

Till it bore fruits

Lemon bitter to

Squeeze on rare meats

On laid tables waiting

Till the curtains lifted

By night winds

Through open windows

The farmer toasted

Red wine

To slain ghosts

Merry laughter

Echoed from the hut

Through the night

Dragons in love shakes the world

Reflection Part I – Just Me

I've had just enough time to...   reflect on just me

Taken of the reflection found one early morning in the lake in Ampang Hill

There are two sides to me

Both sides are real

But which side is true?

Or can both sides be true as well

I sat on the water’s edge

And look at my reflection

Look at my reflection

For that is the only me I can see

But I know, I feel

Another me that I cannot see

It resides in me and argues

I feel therefore it is me

But the me who thinks

Spell in clear logical steps

Why without thoughts

Me cannot even exists

So I sat at the water’s edge

Gazing into my reflection

Gently coalescing all the me

Serenely, into just me

The Angel Near By.

I've had just enough time to...   look for the Angels near by.

If you want to see Angels, first you must know how to look.

If you look too hard
You’ll never find
The Angel nearby.

For an Angel can’t be seen
With your eyes, she
Cannot be thus recognized.

 

For your mind tells you

That is not how 

An Angel looks like.

Let me whisper you a secret

That only very few knows -

An angel will appear

If you let your heart

unflold.

_______

Well, I'm looking for an angel

someone to watch over me

someone to lean on my shoulder

I wanna feel how love can be

But these things they don't come easy

I've learned my lesson well

some things don't work the way you planned

sometimes you just can't tell

- Looking For An Angel

A Spider Above My Head.

I've had just enough time to...   shoot the spider above my head.

Taken during an early morning hike up Ampang Hill, Selangor, Malaysia.

I saw a spider on a web

Hanging high above my head

Looking at me with a hundred eyes

Does it think I’m a fly?

It spreads out its eight long legs

Readied itself for the perfect catch

Doesn’t it realize?

Its downfall is its appetite.

_______

Look, he's crawling up my wall

Black and hairy, very small

Now he's up above my head

Hanging by a little thread

Boris the spider

Boris the spider

- The Who

A Shy Guy That Fly

I've had just enough time to...   coach a shy guy to fly

Taken in my early morning hike up Ampang hill when I have to look hard to catch this shy guy.

I may be a shy guy

But not one that sit idly as

The world passes by

It is just not my style

To do the shouting

But the observing

From a distance

For it is difficult to see

When your mouth is spouting

You may think I’m a shy guy

That I am -

But not because

I cannot fly

_______

But I don't want somebody

Who's loving everybody

I need a shy guy he's the kinda guy

Who'll only be mine
