Urashimataro's tale of hopeless love


Urashimataro at sea
Begged the wild turtle
As the waves swooned...

Deliver me!
To my love, good friend
Either way, I am doomed.

  3. Sometimes I think love is a lot like a gigantic towering wave....overwhelming, beautiful, destructive.

  10. Hi there.
    Thanks for visiting my site.
    Yes, I do celebrate the Eid. Ramadan is winding down, yeah? Check this entry out when you have chance: http://khaalidah.blogspot.com/2010/08/faith-and-fast.html

    You are probably right about us being about the same age. Thanks so much on the kudos on my blog. BTW, I love that you personally strive to gain exposure for Malaysian literary achievements through your blogging.
