INSANITY

-------------------------------------------------------------------

... emptiness ... despair ...

Following these feelings of unknown nothing

My heart seems broken, my mind slowly rotting

All of this from an unknown fear

If it continues, the end seems so near

Where does it come from?

Where does it reside?

The unanswered questions that help it to hide

Somewhere within me, within my soul,

But why, I tell you, I do not know!

I do not know why these feelings of despair

Float around me, affect how I fare

Ask me why I feel so much sorrow,

I don’t know why,

for it will appear tomorrow, today and yesterday too

So when this feeling comes it’s nothing new.

I’m used to it now that feeling of emptiness, despair,

I know it far too well, for it’s always there…

Thanks to Herny for the love, inspiration and support!

Infatuation is my first experience using wax on canvass. Found this box full of flowery-scented candles in various colours. Candles are supposed to be lit but somehow it ended up on my canvass. The candles were my 2004 birthday gift from an ex colleague named Liza from Laura Ashley. Those close to me, knows I love candles. Candles in any form, colour or even scent, just works for me.

My DADDYKINS says - I am saving the electricity bill by lighting candles and my bro adds salt to the wound by sarcastically asking – “there’s no electricity supply today?”

Never imagined, that one fine day I would actually use my favourite collective items on my passion. Surprisingly splashing wax onto the canvass gives me a splendid release.

Let’s, just hope Liza does not mind me literally burning the candles down, anyways thanks Liza!.

the September 11, 2001 attacks (often referred to as 9/11—pronounced "nine eleven") consisted of a series of coordinated terrorist suicide attacks on September 11, 2001. The victims were predominantly civilians.

on the morning of September 11, 2001, nineteen terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. Each team of hijackers included a trained pilot. The hijackers crashed two of the airliners (United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11) into the World Trade Center in New York City, one plane into each tower (1 WTC and 2 WTC), resulting in the collapse of both buildings soon afterward. A nearby church and the rest of the World Trade Center complex's seven buildings were also destroyed or damaged beyond repair. A third airliner (American Airlines Flight 77) was crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia.

Passengers and members of the flight crew on the fourth aircraft (United Airlines Flight 93) attempted to retake control of their plane from the hijackers; that plane crashed into a field near the town of Shanks Ville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania. In addition to the 19 hijackers, 2,973 people died; another 24 are missing and presumed dead.

… oh God! that was 5 years back!!!

"Labyrinth is an intricate combination of paths or passages that makes it difficult to find your way out, like a maze. In life, we often lose our way, but it’s essential that we come back and face the right routes. A maze is a complicated tortuous arrangement but some seek it for the fun and adventure, so relating it to life, it is important that we structure interconnecting passages to reach out for our destiny."

Thanks to Alias Yusof for showing me what reality is all about!

it’s the same heart …

it’s the same mind …

it’s the same style …

… but different appearances

it’s the same voice …

… but different tones

it’s the same move …

… but different motives

it’s the same view …

it’s the same touch …

LISSOM

I’ve found ‘LISSOM’ while flipping through my dictionary looking for another word’s meaning in the story book that I’m trying to finish by end of the month.

‘LISSOM’ caught my eyes. As I read and try to understand the meaning which is “pantas; tangkas dan lemah gemalai” or “attractively thin and able to move quickly and gracefully”, my imagination runs wild and these images crossed my mind.

another new second

another new minute

another new hour

another new day

another new week

stars over my head, counts on me

moon shining bright, lighten my path

fresh breeze air, fills me

colours of the songs, inspires me

said NO!

to shadows that comes

to darken my heart and soul

no more cold regrets

not even stone or steel can stop me

I’ll set myself free

Pure as water

Let’s begin this new journey
