The Muruku Murmurations

I wrote this piece for a friend, reflected on who I got to know this year and how things don't always turn out the way we want it to when we were younger but there is always potential and leaps and bounds to grow. Dear diary,   I am looking through yearbooks to find a little insight on who you are, a glimpse of a lifetime in suspension.   Annual yearbook pictures of the classes you do not fit into where moments of untimely expressions were captured to last for what seems like eternity.   Represented desires and impressions made by carefully chosen quotes and phrased aspirations to shape us as our fantasied avatars.   Interest in clubs, sports and councils that embodied the activities and movements your passions scouted for, swimming through currents of cliques safeguarding social standings to survive the pubescent wilderness.   You know at graduation, people always talk about eagles but not crows, those who soar but not scavenge, the glorified and not the surviv...

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. This piece was inspired by Netuno's beats. We love the ocean and turtles. The water carries energy and being in the ocean creates this unexplainable sensation of change and breath. Prompt 16 : My Nights Are Filled With Night time is always filled with emotions, memories, thoughts. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. What are your nights filled with? #WELPPACT #PACT2 Dancing stars and flying amoebae Swift in its abysmal away Sitting through the Milky Way Prancing far into time, space and synth waves. Dreaming in Neptune's song A voice where spaceships belong Weaving its throttle behind strong willed hands that tap its fingers along with bobbleheads of astronauts. Discovering the mind field of debris Streamlines of interstellar realities Mixed into multiple parallel galaxies Lay...

I've been writing trying to incorporate nature in my pieces and this one was inspired by a beat created by Netuno . It had a very Mario vibe to it and reminded me of the tugs and toils of him and Princess Peach. I had just watched How to Train Your Dragon recently and imagined dragons in soaring and roaming in the lands of Sarawak. This piece was adapted for a HitRECord submission 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. Prompt 24: So Sit Down Do you have a story to tell?  So sit down.  Overwhelmed by ghosts from the past? Duduk kejap.  Sit. Down. Breathe. Write. Tell us Yours through the click clacks of your keyboard and the slow drying of ink on parchment as you recollect your stories of Love. #PACT2 #WELPPACT (A mashup of Sarawak, Mario and How To Train Your Dragon) Waking up to the clouds embracing t...

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. This was written with another new sample from Blanketfren  playing in the background on loop. It is becoming a very interesting exercise because as I write, I heard different accents in the sound that influences either the choice of words or direction the phrase takes. I am so glad that there is inspiration to finished these pieces that have been stagnant for some time. Prompt 21: Like oceans... The ocean is a beautiful place, full of wonder and miracle.⠀ Or it could be a terrifying place, full of mysterious creatures. Perhaps it pulls and pushes you, like the waves by the beach.⠀ ⠀ We think that love can be like the ocean. What do you think? Write to us.⠀ ⠀ #WELPPACT   #PACT2 The skies are always perfect even during a storm A consistent reminder that nothing sta...

Prompts were released throughout the month of February for writers to submit any short form of writing. Every time I recall what my days will look like if you were my world, I would always go back to this particular memory I had as a child. It would be the view I had sitting by the window pane of a room I imagine I would have if I had my own room, the sounds that ring in the porch as ambient background music and this safe space of a fortress created by sheets and pillows.  Prompt 3 : Our world We create our world through the narratives we write. Each is a story that is left untold. #WELPPACT   #PACT2 Sheer curtains and fairy lights Brings us to a world of ideals Bliss but never ignorance. A sunrise of delight Seeps its rays through each orifice and drifts its way on to the grains of our faces. The furl of windmills dance with the melodic ...

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. Recently I have been really inspired by space references and wanted to incorporate it more with my pieces. Prompt 14: Our stars wrote for us... Look up and see the blinking lights sparkle back at you. Watching the night sky feels magical. Sometimes it feels like you're not alone, sometimes it feels like the stars are writing something for you.⠀ ⠀ Tell us: what did the stars write?⠀ ⠀ #WELPPACT   #PACT2 I have seen the way your eyes look at the tribulations of the Earth Seeing through the layers of falsified fronts that people put up The weeping of regrets and sinking of spirits. How your eyes fight so hard from blinking Because losing that moment will lose your true connection with them forever Once passed, the planets won't realign again for aeo...

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. Recently I had the privilege to listen to some samples by Blanketfren , I completed the piece while listening to that sample on loop. The inspiration came from some recent conversations between us and some close friends of mine and the urge to use more natural elements in my writing. One of my favourite pieces to date. Prompt 10: I hear you in... The whispers of Love can be heard from many miles away. Sometimes they say something to you, sometimes a reminder,, sometime advice, perhaps sometimes even longing.⠀ ⠀ Tell us, what do you hear?⠀ ⠀ #WELPPACT   #PACT2 Welcome to this space where the Sunday market doesn't close You have room to sit for a pit stop Cross-legged, one leg up, all stretched out As long as your hips have settled in its anchor Tethered by wires o...
