Lost & (Almost) Found (Reworked)

Sketches of unfinished work strewn on the floor
amongst the settled furniture and antique postings
there, on the perfectly shattered glass island top
sprawled an entangled body gasping for a particular mental notion
got up, hesitant but hurried, I turned to look at the clock
the gold pendulum swings frantically
the hour hand had shifted far left
Oh, how the hours have gone by!

At the strike of 6, my tummy begins to rumble
it reminded me of the horrifying monsoon thunder
My feeble legs fumbled
with every step I'm falling deeper into the gaping hole of your lies
my body.. it's like a sense of entrapment
I squint, at the sight of a faint but lucent light
shining the thorny path that leads to my uncontaminated escape
suspended from a thin rope, swaying left to right holding on for my dear life
Every inch of my limb throbs 
attempting to lay still
when every move brings me one step closer to 6 feet under.

Destination uncertain
a wanderer, I don't have any sense of direction
tugging and hoisting myself up
my bare feet stopped on the many rudimentary edges
then came an encouraging foot step
as I fix my gaze at the extended space over my head
a shadow figure of a hand stretches towards me
"Let me, help you." came an assuring voice
I stare but I could not remember, where I've seen that face
With all the might gathered, I fathom, "Take me away.

Gaza

Apakah yang telah terjadi di Gaza?
habis semua rumah dan tempat beredukasi di bomnya
terdengar tangisan pilu anak-anak kecil
tidak lagi mengerti apa-apa tentang ragam hidup
tidak lagi mengetahui apa itu kejahilan
cukuplah sudah sengsara yang di lalui
hentikanlah darah yang mewarnai bumi
yang terus mengalir buntu tanpa henti
mereka hanyalah menumpang diri
janganlah dikau mengambil kesempatan
hiba dihati apabila memerhati
jauh dari tanah yang diberkati ini...
