Thunder Clouds In Your Eyes

Prompts from Makhluk Seni for WELP, a movement to 'weaponise' love in all forms of expression. Prompts were released throughout the month of February for writers to submit any short form of writing.

I wrote this song for a dear friend of mine, it is one of those connections that is one of a kind. Much like a Parabatai bond.

'A parabatai is a pair of Nephilim warriors who fight together as lifelong partners, bound together by oath, regardless of their gender. Their bond is not reflected only in their closeness and willingness to lay down their lives for one another, but also in oath—one sworn in front of the Council.'

Update: I performed this song at Jack It!'s 3rd Anniversary show in 2019 with Julian Penissi. We worked composing the song when he visited KL last year. We recorded it in January but it still needs a lot of work before completion.

Prompt 11: You Are So
Once you love someone enough, you'll notice things about them which were not seen before. Sometimes they're good thing, sometimes they're challenging things.

How would you go through this new discovery? Do you tell them or do you keep quiet?

#WELPPACT #PACT2

I would tell you
About the time I saw your eyes
Long before I met you for the first time
I could hear the lies your ears have heard
And I am sorry for those words that hurt.

It was years ago by the riverside
Where I ran away to find a place to hide
It was a steady flow, clear waters and sky

Chorus:
There were thunder clouds rolling in drumming strongly
As my thoughts were fighting
Fuelled with doubt and worry
The truth was far off
Long dead and buried
The waters turned soiled,
Muddy and murky

I closed my eyes to find clarity
All I saw was the storm staring fiercely
There were lightning striking drawing lines to the earth
In that flash of fear, that was where you were

Found a missing jigsaw piece that disappeared in time
A key locked away beneath all that dirt
I didn't realised I had lost my worth

Chorus repeat

Your eyes pierced my heart with forgiveness and grace
They spoke clearly in a calming pace
Your voice became louder than the roaring sky
Saying now is the time for you to shine.

No more thunder clouds rolling in drumming strongly
As my thoughts had stop fighting
No more doubt and worry
The truth is now found
No longer buried
There are clear waters and skies again.

Swinging From Memory To Memory

Of recent adventures and endeavours I realised how much I liked to swing . This is how I wing it at swing. Hope this is as much fun reading as it was writing. When I was young, as memory recalls, My mum would take us out to play, We sometimes 'hang gai-gai' at nearby malls, Or go to McDonald's to eat during the day. On the weekdays when we would get the chance, To get some fresh air at the playground, Every kid would have one thing in their glance, We would race for the swings or run around. As I grew older I had a few favourite animations, One was from Jane Goodall's favourite book that became many adaptations, Tarzan swinging from vine to vine was all it took, For us nature lovers to love apes and get hooked. And then came along the 'All American Rejects' Swing, swing, swing from the tangles of my heart, Listening to that song had relieving effects, Cause any rejected crush made me fall apart. I remember there were days that w

This Is Malaysia

Recently Swit Marie has gotten more active on the HitRECord platform and started working on new material and collaborations. This was definitely the highlight of 2020 for her years of writing in the past few years. Reaching an international audience and being part of a community of creatives through this project involving over 180 contributors. The piece that was submitted for the This Is Malaysia video by HitRECord was derived from Dragon Tail . This Is Malaysia  final script remixed by Matt Conley from 8 contributors. This I s Malaysia video. The morning sun greets the mist of the hills, Joy seeps into my lungs as the morning dew kisses my cheeks, Peppercorn scents sing melodies of what the day could be. Waking up to the clouds embracing the mountain ranges This is where my heart belongs My fingertips touch the sparkle in the air made by the sun rays that love the mist My shoulders rise with the lightness of the sunrise. A symphony of swallows sifting through the clouds, Murmuratio

2020

I  wrote this on the flight travelling back to Malaysia in 2020, leaving Australia after what would have been the last time I see the person that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I was observing the people around me, it was an 8 hour flight with a lot of turbulence, who would have know that 2020 would be that kind of year as well. It is funny how things tell you of what will come in its own little ways. Looking around absorbing the sensations to accommodate my body to my surroundings, Infusing my skin with lavender and chamomile to soothe the tension in my muscular fibres.   On my left, a rubik cube frantically trying to solve itself It is but a process of working out possible solutions and running through know standard operational patterns Constant rotations occur and in mere minutes the puzzle is solved.   On my right, two European centurians ecstatic to journey to a new land Partners in life and adventurers ready for new horizons just above the equator They see spirits an
