Hi truly, yes I wrote that so-called poem 2 or 3 years ago.
Eh saya tak boleh take over the thr ...
It is a poem hehe, not a so called.
If you translate from malay, would the feel still be there? Maybe you can put both here and we can experiment.
I remember reading a book by Anchee Min about the last empress of China, many of the poems in the book was translated from their original language into english. In my opinion the poems lost a little of their beauty. I'm sure it was a lot nicer in the original language. Nevertheless, the meaning was there.

Here's a little something for the thread:
Brain disorder
Jerry, I mean to write 'you'
But it comes out as 'blue'
I want to write 'keeper'
But you see 'cheaper' on the paper
I don't understand
I can't trust my own hand
Jerry, I push the trolley
But for a few seconds my feet give up on me
I make small talks
But suddenly I don't recognize the folks
I hold a soda can
I can't feel my own hand
Jerry, I tell a story
But then I become slurry
I drive in the morning
But I don't remember where I am going
I mean to change the gear to four
Alas, my hand don't listen to me anymore
Blimey, you're Harry!
Then who's Jerry?!
Forgive me if I'm scaring you
I may sound like a cuckoo
Actually I don't know anyone by that name, do you?
Jerry, I know I am still sane
Though there's definitely something wrong with my brain
Maybe it's just anxiety
They say it's common in our society
Oh, look at me talking too much
You couldn't get a word in edgewise
I am not a whiny
I just want to tell you about me
But, but... why are you walking away?
Oh Jerry, please stay!

Brain disorder
Hehe this is a very entertaining poem. Thanks for sharing. Brilliant! I was smiling all the way reading it and it really makes my night. Let me try to write something similar, next post.
Inspired by "Brain disorder" poem posted by Mr Genkidesuka (previous 2 posts) which I find very entertaining and written brilliantly, let me also try to write a story like that. This poem is about my first date with my beloved Mr.D. Its an actual event which I try to potray in a short poem. This 18 of June we celebrate the first anniversary of our first date. Well since I'm planning to spend the rest of my life with Mr.D (insyaAllah) then the first meeting is an event of very precious to me. Here goes:
The first date..
Although we had already met
I would say that evening was the first date
I wanted coffee and cake
You thought that’s an excellent idea indeed
For us both need to discuss something so sweet
Over creamy cake and delicious coffee
Your blue eyes lingering on; I smiled shyly
You hold my hand gently and whispered Je t'aime
Saying my name: if you will have me
I would like to spend my life with you till eternity
I responded nothing will delight me more than being with thee

Hi truly, I can feel the love you have for him and him for you. You both are matured adults. Do hasten your marriage before the love and the need are both corrupted. Have faith in Allah because He is The Giver of Sustenance.

...oh, one more thing....
There, they used to call me bro
Maybe because I said 'yo'
Then they called me uncle
Because they thought I was some JD Runkle
Here, it's the same thing
It looks like y'all need some correcting
My photos and posts somehow have misled everybody
I still don't get it, how can that be?
Are my words too manly?
Nah, that is very unlikely
Open your eyes
Here comes a surprise
I am a WOMAN!
Now go suck a lemon!
Haha! Please excuse the last line. It's there just for the sake of rhyming. No hard feelings ya.
petang tadi masak ikan 3 rasa, ada kawan bagi lepas dia balik dari mancing di laut...
..
Sajak Ikan - by Zahari Hasib
aku tak pernah menyelam ke dasar laut
aku tak pernah menyusup ke perut sungai
tapi aku tahu
kau sangat gembira dan riang
berenang dalam duniamu nan bebas
hari-hari di seluruh negara
orang merungut tentang hargamu yang
sentiasa meningkat tinggi dan melambung
tapi di pantai timur para nelayan
yang menangkap dan memunggahnya
siang dan malam
tidak juga kaya-kaya
barangkali sudah begitu agaknya
takdir Tuhan
bahawa harga ikan sampai bila pun
tak boleh turun-turun
manakala para nelayan itu pula
memang sengaja dilahirkan untuk
menjadi miskin.
The song was described by Bettencourt as a song warning that the phrase "I love you" was becoming meaningless: "People use it so easily and so lightly that they think you can say that and fix everything, or you can say that and everything's OK. Sometimes you have to do more and you have to show it – there's other ways to say 'I love you.'"
Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
Now that I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

petang tadi masak ikan 3 rasa, ada kawan bagi lepas dia balik dari mancing di laut...
Hi awak..
Apa kabar? Saya harap sihat selalu. Terima kasih atas kiriman lagu, poems dan yang paling utama masakan ikan 3 rasa. Memang nampak sedap sangat. Yumm!! Apatah lagi ikan fresh kan? Hehe terima kasih sebab masak untuk saya. Rasa terharu. I can imagine how delicious it is, makan dengan nasi panas dan cili padi dengan kicap. Nanti kalau bulan puasa lagi sedap hehe.
Sorry lambat reply. Biasa lah, sibuk dengan kerja tak sempat masuk sini. I have been outstationed, sana sini, pagi petang siang malam. Tapi esok nak pegi Perhentian for a much needed vacation. Pergi dengan kawan. Nak rehat rehat, makan makan dan baring baring kat pantai. Jom? Hehe.
Awak dah makan ke? Saya tadi makan mihun sup tapi tak sedap sangat jadi hirup hirup kuah jer . Now minum coffee dan makan biscuits. Oh dan kacang. Best jugak hehehe. Jap lagi ada meeting tapi saya masuk ni sebab tergoda dengan masakan awak tu. You are a nice man, and you can cook! Someday a very lucky lady will be able to enjoy that and I'm a little jealous but at least I get to see this one first. So perhaps I'm still the first lady you ever cooked for ha ha sajer perasan di petang Jumaat ni.
Okay yer awak, hope everything is good with you. Thanks for always making me happy and thanks for thinking of me. Have a good weekend and if I dont see you before puasa, selamat menyambut bulan ramadhan. Semuga segala amalan di berkati Allah.
If I didn't care more than words can say
If I didn't care would I feel this way?
If this isn't love then why do I thrill?
And what makes my head go 'round and 'round
While my heart stands still?
If I didn't care would it be the same?
Would my ev'ry prayer begin and end with just your name?
And would I be sure that this is love beyond compare?
Would all this be true if I didn't care for you?
If I didn't care would it be the same?
Would my ev'ry prayer begin and end with just your name?
And would I be sure that this is love beyond compare?
