Mencari kasih manusia

I was going through my drawers when I chanced upon an old diary of mine - it had its earliest date as my 21st birthday! MasyaAllah! That was like 23 years ago! :) Alhamdulillah, Allah has given me a good life, thus far...:) Would like to share some of the things I wrote - they do bring back, oh! such memories of who I was and scarily, how some things have not changed...:)
(Oh! My poems were normally written in the Malay language..) *hic*

Mencari kasih manusia
Bagai berlari mengejar pelangi
Indah dan nyata
Tapi hanya sementara
hanya gugusan udara,
hanya ada selepas turunnya hujan,
Tak kuasa bertahan
apabila mentari berleluasan
Ibarat mimpi di siang hari,
Satu senyuman hanya illusi,
Satu harapan, hanya fantasi

Tapi, cinta pada Illahi
Bagai lautan yang tak bertepi
Ombak senantiasa memukul pantai
Semakin jauh lautan diteroka
Semakin dalam juga dasarnya
Gelap kelihatan dari permukaan
Tapi indah apabila di kedalaman
Lautan menyembunyikan berjuta rahsia
Keindahan dan penghidupan
Niqmat dan harapan
Yang tiada tandingan
