TRIBUTE TO STUDIOUS COTTAGE

“Friends forever” you promised
Together till the end
We did everything with each other
You were my best friend

When I was sad, you were by my side
When I was scared, you felt my fear
You were my best support
If I need you, you were there

You were the greatest friend
You always knew what to say
You made everything seem better
As long as we had each other
Everything would be okay

But somewhere, along the line
We slowly come apart
I was here, you were there
Tore a hole in my heart

Things were changing
Our cheerful music reversed its tune
It was like having salad without pepper
A sun without its moon

Suddenly we were miles apart
Two different people with nothing the same
It was as if we hadn’t been friend
Although we knew deep in our hearts
Neither one of us was to blame

You had made many friends
And luckily so had I
But that didn’t change the hurt
The loss of our friendship made me cry

As we grow older, things must change
But they don’t always have to end
Eventhough it is different now
You will always be my friend

The Good All Days -1996

DALAM DIRI

Dalam kesepian
Kita bagai dihempap derita
Dalam sungai diri
Penuh lumpur dan noda
Penuh kerikil dan kaca
Betapa diri dihimpau jauh
Terlalu jauh sehingga kita tidak
Mengenal diri sendiri
Keterasingan yang menyapa
Mengejutkan kita dari sepi
Yang panjang

Di sini
Aku kembali ke dalam diri
Mencari kekuatan nurani
Menyelak kekuatan diri

Di sini
Di hadapan cermin
Aku mengenali diriku ini

Tribute to arwahyarhamah NURULHUDA MOHD RIDHWAN-1997

TEMAN
Dari raut wajahmu
Aku terlihat sejuta keresahan
Kebingungan dan kesedihan
Yang melanda dirimu
Hingga tanpa kau sedari
Airmatamu berguguran
Bak permata dilautan biru

Teman
Inginku kongsi bersama
Agar dapat kita hadapi bersama
Segala cabaran hidup
Denan penuh kesabaran
Dan ketaqwaan
Seraya berdoa
Kehadapan yang Maha Esa

Namun
Takdir telah menentukan
Kita terpaksa berpisah

Kini
Kau telah pergi dariku
Pemergianmu yang tidak akan kembali
Aku berharap agar
Kau gembira di sana
Setelah hilang segala
Kesakitan yang kau tanggung selama ini
