Definition – Trance

1. a half-conscious state, seemingly between sleeping and waking, in which ability to function voluntarily may be suspended.
2. a dazed or bewildered condition.
3. a state of complete mental absorption or deep musing.
4. an unconscious, cataleptic, or hypnotic condition.
5. Spiritualism . a temporary state in which a medium, with suspension of personal consciousness, is controlled by an intelligence from without and used as a means of communication, as from the dead.

Description : 

Ibu Mertuaku (My Mother-in-Law) is a 1962 Malaysian film directed by and starring Malaysian silver-screen legend P. Ramlee. The film's story revolves around the tragic love affair between Kassim Selamat, a poor musician, and Sabariah, the only daughter of a wealthy woman. 

The movie is notable in that the opening act starts out as a light-hearted romantic comedy, but at the 30 minute mark turns into a dramatic tragedy. 

Like a number of P. Ramlee's works, the film criticizes the unofficial caste system that separates the wealthy from the poor. 

This film is considered a Malaysian classic, and is remembered for the song "Di Mana Kan Ku Cari Ganti" and a famous eye-stabbing scene during the film's climax.

Sleep With Butterfly

You say the word 
You know I will find you
or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on to 
the tail of your kite

I'm not like the girls 
that you've known
but I believe
I'm worth comin' home to
kiss away night
this girl only sleeps
with butterflies

Love Is Like A Butterfly

it goes where it pleases
and it pleases wherever it goes".

hold it too tight, it'll crush, 
hold it too loose, it'll fly.

Wings of Butterfly

I have these wings
Here affixed upon my back
And yet try hard as one might
Still, they remain immobile. 

But then, I found you, 
My dearest butterfly…

And words cannot explain 
How my wings flutter in excitement- 
Without you, I am inert:
Motionless, still…lifeless…

So I wonder…
And I fear, 

What if my colours are too dreary
these shades of monotone hues
that have rejected so many others?

And why, I can’t help but think,
Were your vivid eyes drawn 
to these over-thrashed wings?

Created in pain,
a tear falls down her cheek... 
He catches it and whispers…
‘Because, my dearest butterfly…
I love such wings…’

Percaturan Murka dan Cinta

Sejurus minda diterjah,
Menyerlah suatu sejarah,
Dari palitan warna indah,
Hitam, putih dan merah.

Cerita kau, aku dan dia,
Melaung kata minda,
Mendesah rasa jiwa,
Satu kisah yang berbeda.

Kau mengerah lagi pemarah,
Bikin aku tak tentu arah,
Dan dia terus hilang arah,
Akhiran ditakdir pasrah.

Pasca Domba Murka

Dia,
Biar lantang jiwa bersuara.
Biar rasa bermaharajalela,
Biar berkata tanpa rela.

Dan hati ini?
Laksana ditimpa konkrit meninggi,
Perit menusuk cerucuk gerigi,
Gundah sukma di rimba besi.


Kaca Menterai Bagai.

Persoalan terlerai.
Airmata berderai..
Hati berkecai...

Akukah yang lalai?
Kalah dengan perasan yang membuai?
Atau haus dengan tangan yang membelai?

Madness of Love

I fear I have little strength 
to open my eyes to a new day.
I'll wake without you there
...such an occurrence 
which pains be
beyond belief.

I fear the week to come, 
knowing I'll have 
no contact with you.
Each day seems like 
a petty excuse in my life,
just a waiting-time
until I see you.

I can't explain this fear I have
of living this life without you;
I fear these thoughts in my head
that I'm unable to comprehend.

I can't put it into words, 
I can't put it into thoughts... 
I'm unable to voice it-- 
though it's so CLEAR to me.

None can understand.
None can understand, 

if I am unable to tell them what they must understand.
Perhaps love does make a person crazy..
...for this hidden fear which surfaces, 
of being without you...
...oh how I miss you...
sends me into a madness beyond all cure.
