Last weekend, I happened to glance at my bookcase and saw this little pink of a book & then it's like it has been calling me to pick it up. At last I gave in & paused whatever I was watching at the time and started re-reading it.

Tho most of the poems sound really personal to the author, I can totally relate. There's a few favorites like We Who Forgot, For The Children (Who Never Stood A Chance), This Life Is Not A Movie & Wait.

It has been a few years, I wonder if the author ever stop writing because I cant seem to find any other book by her.

most of the poems here are lyrical. I kept imagining someone singing the words to me. they're beautiful, sweet and full of love.

This is a really good poem book. I don't know how to describe my feeling after reading this (Although I just read a few pages of it). It was really good and I felt so melancholy after reading this one.

First time I read this one from my friend in 2014. Now I look for this book, but I could not find it :(

My fingers snap as I glide through the pages.

Poetry is magical,
poetry is raw,
poetry is pain and happy,
poetry is for all.

It's been a while since I immerse myself in waves upon waves of emotion from poetry.

4 fucking stars

I've developed a love for poetry recently, in the late 2013. I love how they give you freedom to interpret in any way you want. But that is a bittersweet feeling, not knowing how the author might have said her own words.

A light-read book, as most poems go. Worth the money and time spent. Proud that a Malaysian has produced such a beautifully written work. May she be blessed on her journey as an aspiring writer. :)

Puisi yang diilhamkan supaya menjadi talian penghubung dua kewujudan. Cinta umumnya universal dan subjektif untuk setiap definisi. Antara jiwa dan jiwa juga jiwa dan alam. Ada saiz stanza yang 4 baris cuma tetapi padu menyuarakan berbuku buku melodi rindu kasih. Andai puisi ini angin maka bayu lautan nyamanlah ia. Halimunan di mata kasar. Jasad pejalnya hanya terzahir di kolam rasa.

I bought this book at a book fair after 4 times going back and forth to the booth that sell this. My edition's cover is pink and I'm too lazy to add a new page for this one.

The poems are sweet and relatable. Still amazed that there's so many way of saying I love you without actually using that sacred three words.

I've never been so captivated by a book of poetry. I am not really a fan of poetry but this book holds my hands like I would not be able to put it down. Simple words are used so even a new English learner could understand the poems. No bombastic words. Some of the poems are also relatable to me and I am sure, to everyone also.

I'm glad that I came across this book because it's amazing and the author is Malaysian. I'm very proud. :) The poetry is easy to read and to relate to it aswell. You can just read and easily get lost in your own world with this book.
