in completing one another..

       She is 

    again

  with life within her;

contained in 

of all vessels, the most giving,

of all muscles, the most strong. 

  Again,

     even after 

                 loss;

                         Giving

  Again, 

     even after 

                loss;

                        Strong

our love embodied

this year

not by candlelit dinner
or romantic walks by the river,
but rather
by hospital meals shared
and an IV line dear;

now 3 years on I find that
like sambal and gravy
or nasi lemak and steak
together,
bliss lies not in
complete conformity

but rather,
in completing one another..



Happy anniversary, my yangku -
I love you so :)

where the light enters you”

to smile upon a blossoming bud 

precious, fragile, beautiful;

the gift of a birthday belated

yet still most delightful -

our love embodied

“fasobrun jameelun”

the distance between

me                  and you 

is the space  between 

the edges 

                  of a wound

said the poet 

(may he be true.. ):

“the wound is the place 

where the light enters you”

while I’m still here..

adrift without    you

  on     this ship 

built for two 

“fasobrun jameelun”

“I love you”s

   are
       not
          just
   for once a year;
        so fear
     not
of being forgotten
    while
        I’m still here..

(Happy birthday my ayangku 🙃)

all my life

biidznillah 

                I'd 

         reply 

"As I do you"

  to 

    your

"I love you"s
