Friendship Lasts Forever

by A. Junaidy

though phone calls seemed never,
any rare contact I still prefer.
because I believe friendship lasts forever.

She Walks in Beauty

She Walks in Beauty
by George Gordon, Lord Byron

She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Be Someone

by A. Junaidy

open up your mind
mind that opened
means to accept others' mind
and to share what's inside to others

if "be yourself" leads to selfishness
why don't we try to "be someone"
someone who is meaningful to self,
and someone who is meaningful to others

I Shall Come to You

by A. Junaidy

here without you,
there is just fragrance of flowers, not yours
it is just another silhouette of tree that we planted days ago, not yours
it is the sound of whispering winds, not yours that i am longing for
it is me that is longing for you, when the setting sun throws a long shadow of mine

i wish you were here with me
so we can cast this silence, and the setting sun on the western horizon throws our long shadows
there would be you and me,

you and me, the two persons who won't run from sentences
two persons who stare into each others' eyes and recognize others' soul

what a pity me who forms those wishful thinking
you are not here...
maybe tommorow shall be days of joy
when I shall come to you, or is it you who shall do?

My Pretty Rose Tree

by A. Junaidy

William Blake (again)...couple time read this poem and try to know how Blake felt when he wrote this.

My Pretty Rose Tree
by William Blake

A flower was offered to me:
Such a flower as May never bore.
But I said "I've a Pretty Rose-tree",
And I passed the sweet flower o'er.

Then I went to my Pretty Rose-tree:
To tend her by day and by night.
But my Rose turn'd away with jealousy:
And her thorns were my only delight.

I Was vs. I Am

by A. Junaidy

injak-injak saja kepongahanku
ratakan dengan semua keinginanmu
lumat semua jumawaku
sampai terlilit kusut benang logika yang katanya bermutu
masukkan mata sinisku ke dalam tanur kepedulianmu
agar bisa kau dapatkan leburan bola mata yang kau mau

tapi...aku punya satu pertanyaan buatmu
mampukah dirimu untuk itu?

"sent by : then"
"to : now"

Happines

by A. Junaidy

happiness is affordable
it's not expensive
yet it's not cheap
it is a gift nothing can compare

Simplified Thoughts About Her

by A. Junaidy

Elegant is her nature,
charming with gesture.
An adorable creature,
that I could hardly recognize failure.
Whose soul is beautiful, who always provides relieving cure.

World may lay the troubling distance.
Yet, I still could feel her presence,
by breathing the air filled with her fragrance,
and sensing her enchanting voice that keeps my world enhanced.
For her, I would sincerely save my last dance

* Finally, I have simplified my thoughts about you and written them down. My thoughts are not put in order, they are random. They are not complicated, yet sophisticated. I am awake and just realized how you have silently taken over my subconsciousness. It is just a matter of time you would deeply occupy my conscious and sanity. Whether you realize it or not, you have done that, CRV. May I be given the chance to play Brickman’s Angel Eyes for you, someday somehow.

What I'm Missing Most? My Sunshine...

by A. Junaidy

After being "grounded" by my own body health for weeks (almost a month), I finally have realized what I should have had & I missed it.

I'm missing my sunshine that shares its light through my window.

Sun that shines, shares its warmth & light that brighten up my days, each & every morning. The real sun that warms mother earth&father sky, and me of course.

Farther more, some songs remind me of the sun...and people that shine through windows of my heart. Gabrielle's "Sunshine" and the other one is Jimmy Davis' "You Are My Sunshine"

"Sunshine"

by Gabrielle

Made a wish, I can dream
I can be what I want to be
Not afraid to live my life
And fulfil my fantasies

I learnt a lot of tricks to help me live my life
You helped me find my paradise
When you came I saw

Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel like
I'm on top of the world
Telling me I'll go far

Reaching out, for the highs
You inspired me to try
I felt the magic inside
And I felt that I could fly
I'm looking at the world in an optimistic light
You made me appreciate my life
'Cos when you came you were my

Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel like
I'm on top of the world
Telling me I'll go far

You are the calm
I am the storm
You are the breeze that carries me on
When I said a truth
You wink at me
You're there for me

Sunshine (oh yeah)
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star

(Sunshine) Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine
My star, my star..

"You Are My Sunshine"

by Jimmy Davis

You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other nite, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me
To love another
You'll regret it all some day;

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

You told me once, dear
You really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me
And love another
You have shattered all my dreams;

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

Louisiana my Louisiana
the place where I was borne.
White fields of cotton
-- green fields clover,
the best fishing
and long tall corn;

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Crawfish gumbo and jambalaya
the biggest shrimp and sugar cane,
the finest oysters
and sweet strawberries
from Toledo Bend to New Orleans;

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

So, I express "sunshine" as a compliment to people whom I think deserve it. And they really do deserve it.

I Adore Mi Amor

by A. Junaidy

I adore mi amor,
could it be any simpler?
the simpliest way is, probably,
telling her that someone is longing for her.
and that "someone" would definitely be me.
and so I adore mi amor

Make It Real

by A. Junaidy

you...are looking into my eyes
i...am looking into yours
here...now...silent
how precious this moment granted to me
how beautiful every move made by the hand of time
and how insane i am...
just knowing
we're not here in silence
and those are unreal...
for the sake of my heart sanity
make it real and be with me
