For The Love Of God

I am beauty
I love beauty
I manifest
I see beauty
I manifest
I see Me
without this love to be
there can be no world in Me

Love Hurts

love hurts
when you cannot be
with the one you love
when your beloved
separated from you
you want it to be
always face to face
to be in your sight
always in embrace
behold Aliff,
love hurts
but never you

Ramble On

there is always a point
a point of time
no beginning
no end
no past
no future
just now forever
Aliff, the one you see
for couple of moments
in practice
when your mind is silent
doesn’t it seems
everything stops
do you feel any fear?
do you feel any desire?
but the mind plays on you
again and again
makes you think
you are in time
but in actual
time is in you
in your mind
and the mind is in you
for in deep sleep
the mind cease to be
but you not
upon waking up
you confess
you had a good night sleep
shows you are
sleep is night
awake is day
unmanifest
manifest
unmanifest…nothing seems to be
manifest…everything be
unmanifest…unmoved, unchanged
manifest…moving, changing
the mind makes you moving
keep you wander far off
from your true abode
like catching your shadow
stop running
and touch your head!
stop moving
and you at it
stop searching
and you get it
.
.
.
.
what am I talking here ????
will average man understand ????
who cares anyway…

Don't Go Round About

because of your existence
you know you are
you know the world is
there cannot be a miss
this consciousness
of which your beingness
of which you feel total
is your only capital
stabilize there
meditate on it
how ‘you’ has appeared
what caused it
Aliff, find out
don’t go round about
go straight to the source
it is the only course

Sweet Pain

have you ever felt
you wanted something
but you can never get it
something inspiring
beautiful
haunts you
you want to see it
touch it
hold it near
caress it dear
but something stops you
like a barrier
crush it you’ll break
that beautiful thing
will also breaks
the thing you most
don’t want to happen
it always pulled you back
when you drowned
by emotions
frustrated
don’t know what to do
at the same time
never cease feeling
soothe and pleasant
admiring
from distance
though it hurt
but you're still happy
it's sweet pain
you can never complain

Within

sitting quietly
in a dark room
let go
eyes closed
breathing…
deep
going inside
deeper
bluish light
surrounding
a speck of white light
between eyebrows
descending further
to the centre
a straight line
appear
Aliff Cahaya!

Love To Be

you’re in search of love
to love or to be loved?

love is nobler and deeper
to be loved is sweet
were you a time traveler
wouldn’t you want to always meet

it is all so sweet
it is all so alluring
you want to delve in
but wait…
what exactly are you looking

can you love on your own
or must you be made to
what you have can you disown
what you search, do you have a clue?

unless there is love…there will be no happiness

but…does love always make you happy?

when the beloved suffers
don’t you suffer too
do you cease to love
because you suffer
must love and happiness
come and go together?
or love merely
expectation of pleasure?

what is love?...state of being?...state of mind?

ignorance of yourself
has cover up love and happiness
you will always be
in a state of remorse
because what you are searching
you have never lost

Aliff, love is will
will to share your happiness
being happy…making happy
is the rhythm of love
for love…is from Love
to love…is Love
be happy…to love
be content…to Be

Still In Me

crunching guitar riff
pounding the drums
running the bass line
not merely strums

growling vocals
shrieking voice
clashing metals
pleasant noise

amazingly fast rhythm
at breakneck speed
the likes of boy band
surely couldn’t keep

imaginative lyrics
death and gothics
adrenalin drives
stage-dive!

spit out the anger
excites the headbanger
tension releaser
boredom crusher

neck ache
bleeding ears
still in me
after 25 years

Hey Bird! Long Time No See

hey bird!
long time no see
I knocked at the door
only to wait and see
I followed my intuition
so confident she’s in
hurriedly I get into the net
but my knock never get buy-in
gone, was the joy that leaped
bored, I’m going to sleep

A Recollection

coolness in the eyes, watching the face
to the heart, soothes and solace
the chemistry, so jive
the smile, mesmerise
the voice the expression
just watch just listen
warm-hearted, feel being cared for
to the old habit, will settle the score
meeting, the heart taken
leaving, the longing heightened
Aliff, the praises like a cup full
the only word left is…beautiful

Do You Remember You Being Born

do you remember you being born
do you experience it
do you ever asked to be born
can you recall it

someone told you
you take it for granted
the mind plays on you
never been investigated

once you were a baby
…you are
then you grew as a kid
…yet you are
then a fully grown man
…still you are
you are now an old man
… you know you are

your appearance changes
you are…never changes
the same beingness
care-full or care-less

know…you are
feel…you are
stick to…you are
ask…who you are?

are you really being born
how you get birth
Aliff, never mind the moron
to this illusion…unberth!

Ramadhan

Ramadhan menjenguk lagi
sebulan dalam setahun
tapi semangatnya harus ada
sepanjang masa

bulan untuk berlapar dahaga?
itu hanya simbolik saja
hikmah Ramadhan
untuk menguji ketahanan

menahan dari kesedihan
menahan dari kegembiraan
yang membawa kealpaan
akan sebenar kewujudan

yang indah menggoda
yang buruk mencuriga
bertindak padahnya alpa
hanya menyaksi saja

menguji ketahanan
mengasah perjuangan
tinggal dalam penyaksian
itulah maksud Ramadhan

cinta menggamit
pantas melayan
untuk rasa sekelumit
bimbinglah Aliff, wahai Ramadhan
