Remain unspoken.

Salam, allo! Selepas solat terawih hari tu (kat rumah je) tengok citer 'Kami The Movie' kat 8TV. Kat TV2 ada citer 1957: Hati Malaya, semacam berminat jgak nak tgk tapi sbb janji dgn Yana nak tgk citer Kami jadi tgk je la. Citer ni OK jugak la. One of the main themes is that everyone has his or her own secrets. Selepas tgk movie ni tergerak hati nak buat poem, maka ini dia :D

REMAIN UNSPOKEN

A whisper a crime

Words in my head

An encore all over again

Residues been shed

Shadows sneak and linger

To solve the pieces

Even bit by bit by bit

Racing to the aces

Little did they know

Oh, only if they knew

I should have known

Better than knowing.

Basically it's about the persona knowing a secret and it haunts him. It keeps 'circulating' around his head, he always thinks about it and accidentally/unaccidentally let out some 'clues' about it to another. Which makes the other person whom I refer to as the 'shadow' because it always 'follow' the persona everywhere trying to dig out the said secret. The shadow strives in succeeding of knowing the secret even if the clues left by the persona is small and not plenty or sometimes seem irrelevant ("even bit by bit by bit").

The persona then said that if they had known what the secret was, they will surely regret it as did the persona. Well that's my interpretation but one can interpret another with poems. That's the magic of poems :) Well, in addition but I didn't state it in the poem is that the persona knows the secret from somebody else who also knows the secret from an another person. And they all end up regretting it. So the said persona in this poem tries not to blow out the secret, to break the 'chain'.

So the thing that could be learned here is that although our inquisitive side is hard to abstain sometimes, we should always try to respect another's privacy. We surely don't want our own deepest darkest secrets revealed to the world don't we? So we should do the same for everyone else, that is respect their privacy. And if we know a secret, we should always try to not blow it out someway or the other. It's not only concluded to secrets but to the mistakes/disadvantages done by the person, tak elok membuka keaiban org.

And I know all of us experienced the same thing that is not keeping it a secret and telling someone else. And then we warn that someone else to not to tell it, and then that someone else ended up doing the same thing (making an unbreakable chain). I did too which is something that I'm not proud of :( But nevertheless we should always try to insyaAllah.

So that's the poem. Well I need to further sharpen my poem-ing skills but I particularly like the last four verses with the word 'know' in different tenses :D I think this is the only poem that I have done without doing any research or reference or anything like that. This one comes from the heart :) And took about 6-10 mins while the others took weeks! x) Oyeah, and

SELAMAT MENYAMBUTHARI KEMERDEKAAN!
