About me

A mother, wife and civil servant, a conscientious citizen and patriot ----- my abiding love for books has made me try my hand at writing poetry, none of which is anything but the strictly spontaneous outpouring of a mind that prizes truth and harmony, above all else.

Seene mein jalan (translation)

Why does the heart smoulder 
a storm rage in the eyes
an anxious look reside 
on every face in this city

Why is it bereft of emotion
as lifeless as a stone
the heart that for a reason 
searches, so it can throb

A wilderness stretches before 
my eyes as far as they can see
where has loneliness brought me 
my friends, I but know scarcely

Does a new aspect in my visage it espy
why does the mirror look at me with such surprise
