Stilled Hope

2011-12-29T19:11:00.000-08:00

Our hope is stilled, its has been hanged to prey on success which we have never tasted

Our life is dooming, its has been left to dangled on the street like a man whom his sense had divorce him

Our mind is creepling with the cyclones of corruption beating the street

We have been pushed to dance for our belly even when the the record had run out of rhyme

We have been chased to overthrowned our rebel action with sentimental reaction

They say our hope has independent but why do we sleep over the cloud instead of the roof

Why do we eat the reminant of education instead of equal food

Is it because we came from an hamlet or perhaps we are not destined for elite

We have hope but it is stilled under the hills of neglect awaiting a natural leader

Kecantikan Lelaki

2011-12-29T19:09:00.000-08:00

Kecantikkan seorang lelaki bukan kepada rupa fizikal
tetapi pada murni
rohani

Lelaki yang cantik,

Adalah lelaki yang mampu mengalirkan airmata untuk
ingatan,

Adalah lelaki yang sedia menerima segala teguran,

Adalah lelaki yang memberi madu,setelah menerima
racun,

Adalah lelaki yang tenang dan lapang dada,

Adalah lelaki yang baik sangka dan,

Adalah lelaki yang tak pernah putus asa.

Kecantikan lelaki berdiri di atas kemuliaan hati

Seluruh kecantikan yang ada pada Muhammad yang umi

Adalah kecantikan yang sempurna seorang lelaki.

Give Me Your Hand

2011-12-29T19:06:00.002-08:00

Give me your hand
Some had request a life
Some a heart some a wife
But me, give me your hand
Some had desire your whole
Some your smile others your soul
But as for me give me your hand
Some will plead to stare at your beauty
Others will die to match your quality
But me, give me your hand
Some had grace the day you will nurce their seeds
Some had vow to grant your needs
As for me, give me your hand
I have not a single word to wisper
But my gentle hand is there to offer
So please give me your hand
I will wash it with my blood
And wipe it with bliss from God
You just give me your hand
I have nothing to lift you above
But I will raise your hand with love
Give me your hand
Let us cross huddles with a solmn sing
While I slot the propose ring
Will you give me your hand?

Kegagahan Wanita

2011-12-29T19:06:00.001-08:00

Kegagahan seorang wanita bukan kepada pejal otot
badan,tetapi pada
kekuatan perasaan,

Perempuan yang gagah,

Adalah perempuan yang tahan menerima sebuah
kehilangan,

Adalah perempuan yang tidak takut pada kemiskinan,

Adalah perempuan yang tabah menangung kerinduan
setelah ditinggalkan

Adalah perempuan yang tidak meminta-minta agar di
penuhi segala
keinginan,

Kegagahan perempuan berdiri di atas teguh iman,

Seluruh kegagahan ini ada pada Khatijah yang ehsan.

Adalah kegagahan sempurna bagi seorang perempuan

Fight Back

2011-10-08T08:20:00.000-07:00

fight back!
another store robbed,
broad daylight.

over the counter,
grab the money
from the register...

tries to run...
clerk hanging on,
another clerk joining in...

an elderly black woman trips
the suspect, another old man
jumps in to help....

had him down twice,
but he got away...
battered and bruised...

he'll think a while
before he comes back...
common everyday people

just trying to help....

an old car broke down
on the side of the road...
an elderly man standing there,

looking lost... two more old men
stop, and slowly but surely
push him down the road

to the nearest station....
common everyday people,
just trying to help....

the old couple evicted,
trying to load up what they can...
two sets of neighbors

come out and start helping,
borrow a truck, and start loading,
and scuff a few dollars

for gas and food....
common everyday people
just trying to help....

lay down your pipes,
your guns, turn off your tv's.
stop what you're doing...

fight back!

Kasih yang Terbagi

2011-10-08T08:18:00.000-07:00

Hati telah ku serahkan
Seluruh kasih telah ku curahkan
Segala apa yang bisa telah aku lakukan
Apa yang ada telah aku relakan
Semua hanya demi kamu seorang

Relaku tak perlu kau tanya lagi

Ikhlasku tak usah kau tagih lagi
Belaian suci tertanam dalam hati
Membara kian ketara
Semua hanya demi kasih yang suci

Tetapi mengapa?......
Kau begitu kejam membagi
Kau begitu tega mendua
Mengiris kasih yang tertanam dalam hatiku
Menghancurkan seluruh perasaanku
Mencabik semua hasrat dan cita cinta

Ternyata kau telah membagi kasih dengan yang lain
Membelah hati dalam dua cinta yang berbeda
Menyulut api yang belum pernah kau ketahui
Mengarahkan segalanya dalam kehancuran
Membabi buta dalam setiap genderang perang hati

Apa yang ku lakukan ternyata sia-sia
Pengorbanan hanya tinggal kenangan
Perjuangan yang menyisakan luka
Hancur rindu menyeret kalbu
Membagi cinta karena nafsu durja

Do The Right Thing!

2011-10-08T07:28:00.000-07:00

just one time...
do the right thing!
go the extra mile...

give more than you
can afford to lose.
risk it all to care...

stop what you're doing,
listen with an open heart.
stand up for someone

who's being abused
for just being different.
and as you're getting off

the ground from your latest fall...
help someone else who has fallen...
he's just like you!

after all, you're the one
you have to sleep with tonight!
do the right thing!

Buaian Manis

2011-10-08T07:18:00.001-07:00

Kata manis yang terucap
Lisan dan tutur kata yang begitu mengkilap
Mengusik sukma dan jiwa dalam gelap
Cahaya yang begitu penuh dengan harap

Sejarah dan masa depan seluruhnya kau ungkap
Dua masa yang saling menatap
Menabur madu yang begitu gemerlap
Semua pesona kini telah engkau tancap

Buaian kata termanis
Dari seorang wanita yang mengiris
Yang takkan pernah habis
Telah tertanam dan tertulis

Mulut sang pujangga yang manis
Ternyata hanyalah sebuah kebohongan yang mulai terkikis
Walau dalam hatiku cinta terlukis
Tapi, kini ku sadar itu hanyalah luka yang miris

Kini ku terluka hati
Termakan racun cinta yang telah terpati
Buah dari kecerobohan dan tidak hati-hati
Membuatku melayang dan seakan mati

Korban dari syair cinta sejati
Yang abadi dan takkan pernah mati
Cinta yang penuh dengan makna dan arti

Daughter's love

2011-08-30T03:45:00.000-07:00

I feel sometimes like I've truly lost my way
Sometimes it's hard to make it through the day
When I have the chance to sit and think
I stare ahead and never stop to blink
My heart is loudly crying out for you
My soul is crying out for love so true
I don't know how I've made it this long
I don't know how I've stayed so strong
I guess I am waiting for the day
When all of my pain will go away
It's been so hard without you by my side
Losing you took away so much of my pride
You are part of me, a piece of my soul
And until you find me, I will never be whole
I am so sorry that I let you go
And hope one day that you will know
That all I wanted was the best for you
Even though it's torn my world in two
The only reason I am still alive
Is the hope that you'll be by my side
I want you to know wherever you are
That even if the distance is far
You are always here in my heart and soul
And that I'm leaving this is God's control
One day he'll send you back to me
One day my heart will again be free
My love for you will never end
When you're back, my heart will mend
Just know a daughters love is forever
Even if we are not together

Kusadari
Terselip khilaf dalam candaku
Tergores luka dalam tawaku
Terbelit pilu dalam tingkahku
Tersinggung rasa dalam Celotehku.

Lantas kumaklumi
Berenang di samudera biru
sungguh menyenangkan
Namun berenang di samudera maafmu
jauh lebih menakjubkan

The Road Not Taken

2011-03-14T20:08:00.000-07:00

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

Doa Sahabat

2011-03-14T19:54:00.000-07:00

Pertemuan kita di suatu hari
Menitipkan ukhuwwah yang sejati
Bersyukurku ke hadrat Ilahi
Di atas jalinan yang suci

Namun kini perpisahan yang terjadi
dugaan yang menimpa diri
Bersabarlah di atas suratan
Kau tetap pergi jua...

Kan ku utuskan salam ingatanku
Dalam doa kudusku sepanjang waktu
YA ALLAH bantulah hamba-Mu
Mencari hidayah daripada-Mu
Dalam mendidikkan kesabaranku
YA ALLAH tabahkan hati hamba-mu
Di atas perpisahan ini...

Senyuman yang tersirat di bibirmu
Menjadi ingatan setiap waktu
tanda kemesraan tersimpul padu
kenangku di dalam doamu...

Semoga Tuhan berkatimu.....

First Love

2011-03-10T22:12:00.000-08:00

You left your heart out and unprotected
I did anything for you to like me
Feelings like that were so unexpected
Being with you had made feel so free
I though it to only be a week too
Next thing I know a year had gone by
Having you there was the greatest feeling
I gave you my heart and all of my trust
In the end maybe we were too young
For I am sure both out hearts were crushed
Leaving you was so hard i know it stung
Even though it was hurting, my heart still grew
And i'm so thankful my first love was you

Sebuah Penantian

2011-03-10T22:10:00.000-08:00

malam ini kuceritakan padamu
derai yang tersirat kuuraikan
yang butuh waktu untukku rajut,
itulah sebuah harap indahku padamu…

senja pergi malampun datang untuk menjaga hari
tak berbeda pada malam-malam sebelumnya,
ku selalu merangkai membariskan kata-kata
itulah sajak yang selalu kuindahkan untukmu…

namun, dalam ini cinta membisu di relung hatimu
hingga membuat banyak pertnyaan yang ingin ku tanyakan,
tapi sayang setip malam tak ada pendengar
untuk ku ajukkan
karena malamku hening dan sunyi…

engkau seperti bulan yang jauh untukku raih
di dalam gelap dan juga bisu
kucoba melukismu yang terindah,
diantara penghui malam yang setia temaniku…
yaitu, bulan dan bintang
tetapi tak bisa kulukis diatas kanvas
yang terembuni sejuknya malam,
hanya terlukis di dalam hati
seperti cerita cintaku
yang ingin kuceritakan…
hanya terdiam di dalam hati
yang sesungguhnya itu tulus untukmu…

hingga malam semakin larut
dan menunggu habisnya kata-kata
mataku kian redup dan kantuk menguasai alam sadarku
terakhir untuk kuceritakan
kubuat seketsa yang alur ceritanya
kau dan aku bahagia bersama…
namun itu khan nyata di mimpiku malam ini
yang karena kantuk membawaku ke dalam taman mimpi
dan kumemetik bunga tidur bersama semua hayalku…

letters to a corpse

2011-03-02T15:26:00.000-08:00

dear jane, you never move
and yet you move me.
your jaded eyes and
crimson lips tell me stories
that no-one wants to hear.

dear jane, you have terrifying
mascara smears, leaving trails
across the soft skin of your
cheek covering crushed bones.

dear jane, your twisted arms
and splintered legs will never
walk again but your story
will travel the world.

dear jane, rest
in peace.
not in
pieces.

Waktu

2011-03-02T14:45:00.000-08:00

jika engkau bertanya, bagaimanakah tentang Waktu?….
Kau ingin mengukur waktu yang tanpa ukuran dan tak terukur.

Engkau akan menyesuaikan tingkah lakumu dan bahkan mengarahkan perjalanan jiwamu menurut jam dan musim.
Suatu ketika kau ingin membuat sebatang sungai, diatas bantarannya kau akan duduk dan menyaksikan alirannya.

Namun keabadian di dalam dirimu adalah kesadaran akan kehidupan nan abadi,
Dan mengetahui bahwa kemarin hanyalah kenangan hari ini dan esok hari adalah harapan.

Dan bahwa yang bernyanyi dan merenung dari dalam jiwa, senantiasa menghuni ruang semesta yang menaburkan bintang di angkasa.

Setiap di antara kalian yang tidak merasa bahwa daya mencintainya tiada batasnya?
Dan siapa pula yang tidak merasa bahwa cinta sejati,
walau tiada batas, tercakup di dalam inti dirinya, dan tiada bergerak dari pikiran cinta ke pikiran cinta, pun bukan dari tindakan kasih ke tindakan kasih yang lain?

Dan bukanlah sang waktu sebagaimana cinta, tiada terbagi dan tiada kenal ruang?
Tapi jika di dalam pikiranmu harus mengukur waktu ke dalam musim, biarkanlah tiap musim merangkum semua musim yang lain,Dan biarkanlah hari ini memeluk masa silam dengan kenangan dan masa depan dengan kerinduan.

You Are My Moment

2011-03-02T06:44:00.000-08:00

You Are My Moment.
Is it the sound of her voice that finds me in but a moment?
If it is but a touch that delivers to me her will it is in but a moment.
If eternity was a song she would sing for me for a moment.
It is a lifetime that my wanderings call to me.
But it is that glance in a moment that brings me to her.

And with this momentary whisper though the sound unheard to her ears
It is but in a moment she is aware of my love.
But if the trees in this moment whisper to me
Their sound is but a breeze for my skin to hear.
Have you trees found it yet in this moment?
Within these spaces and breaths beyond?
Yes and you have your reply soft but heard.
You are heard by not the air.
You are heard in my mind.
You are heard by this moment.

For the sound in but a moment you find me.
For your touch is what delivers me.
For your song is all I can hear.
For I am home within you.
For your glance is my universe.
For you are my moment.

Ajari Aku Melupakan mu

2011-03-02T06:40:00.000-08:00

Adakah bintang gugur malam ini????
Agar bisa mmbawaku kembali
Pada saat yang menyenangkan itu
Saat aku tidak mmbutuhkanmu disisiku

Hangat tawa & senyummu masih menemaniku
Tolong ajari aku cara untuk melupakanmu
Ajari aku agar kuat tanpa senyummu
Dan,ajari aku hidup tanpa bayang-bayangmu

Semakin kucoba melupakanmu
Semakin dalam hatiku mencarimu
Semakin jauh aku berlari
Semakin dekat bayanganmu menghampiri

Andai waktu bisa kuhentikan
Dan,andai aku mempunyai sebuah pilihan
Kuakui dirimu cukup berarti bagiku
Tapi,maaf aku harus tetap melupakanmu

You crossed my mind last night and I just stopped to think of you...
...although you weren't there all I had to do was close my eyes to feel you near
I exhaled, because for sure I would dream of you tonight

i can almost see it..
that dream iam dreaming...
but there is a voice inside my head sayin...

i closed my eyes..and the flashback starts...
iam standing there inside our church...in a december.

see the lights, see the holy mass, see the priest..
see the gowns..see the crowd..

Rasa Manis

2011-02-28T04:43:00.000-08:00

Rasa manis yang tersembunyi,
Ditemukan di dalam perut yang kosong ini!
Ketika perut kecapi telah terisi,
ia tidak dapat berdendang,
Baik dengan nada rendah ataupun tinggi.

Jika otak dan perutmu terbakar karena puasa,
Api mereka akan terus mengeluarkan ratapan dari dalam dadamu.
Melalui api itu, setiap waktu kau akan membakar seratus hijab.
Dan kau akan mendaki seribu derajat di atas jalan serta dalam hasratmu.

Belinda

2011-02-28T04:00:00.000-08:00

i would not have you, Belinda, in darkness sit,
on days like this, my hand clasped in hand dead,
remembering sadly your fragrant bed –
each moment therein, what joy we had of it.
rather, while still our lights though dimmed were lit,
bid friends to the parties that once we planned,
happy all the time! until to the dust’s demand,
your soul, not mine, did separately submit.

so, when i come (for you at last will call
and i shall hear and linger not at all) ,
still to your throat, your arms, your loosened hair
will cling and savour your glowing orchid petal’s fresh kiss,
so sweet to me! and doubly sweet for this –
that you for me should have left a place so fair!

Aku ingin menjadi mimpi indah dalam tidurmu
Aku ingin menjadi sesuatu yg mungkin bisa kau rindu
Karena langkah merapuh tanpa diriMu
Karena hati telah letih

Aku ingin menjadi sesuatu yg mungkin bisa kau rindu
Karena langkah merapuh tanpa diriMu
Karena hati telah letih

Aku ingin menjadi sesuatu yg selalu bisa Kau sentuh
Aku ingin Kau tahu bahwa ku selalu memujaMu
TanpaMu sepinya waktu merantai hati
BayangMu seakan-akan

Kau seperti nyanyian dalam hatiku
Yg memanggil rinduku padaMu
Seperti udara yg kuhela
Kau selalu ada

Hanya diriMu yg bisa membuatku tenang
Tanpa diriMu aku merasa hilang
Dan sepi, Dan sepi

Kau seperti nyanyian dalam hatiku
Yg memanggil rinduku padaMu
Seperti udara yg kuhela
Kau selalu ada

Kau seperti nyanyian dalam hatiku
Yg memanggil rinduku padaMu
Seperti udara yg kuhela
Kau selalu ada

Selalu ada, Kau selalu ada
Selalu ada, Kau selalu ada

What do Women Want?

2011-02-26T15:11:00.000-08:00

I want a red dress.
I want it flimsy and cheap,
I want it too tight, I want to wear it
until someone tears it off me.
I want it sleeveless and backless,
this dress, so no one has to guess
what’s underneath. I want to walk down
the street past Thrifty’s and the hardware store
with all those keys glittering in the window,
past Mr. and Mrs. Wong selling day-old
donuts in their cafe, past the Guerra brothers
slinging pigs from the truck and onto the dolly,
hoisting the slick snouts over their shoulders.
I want to walk like I’m the only
woman on earth and I can have my pick.
I want that red dress bad.
I want it to confirm
your worst fears about me,
to show you how little I care about you
or anything except what
I want. When I find it, I’ll pull that garment
from its hanger like I’m choosing a body
to carry me into this world, through
the birth-cries and the love-cries too,
and I’ll wear it like bones, like skin,
it’ll be the goddamned
dress they bury me in.

City of the Mind

2011-02-26T15:02:00.000-08:00

city of the mind
by childlike fantasies and
worries exhausted
of my mendacious mind
at nothing laughing
and for the flower crying
'cause it dies
not knowing how to save it
so nothing remains for this
fickle mind of mine but
to forget now and hereafter
— as it did before —
and thus continue on its own
to rhyme
lulled by the sea like a fish
languidly

Matahari

2011-02-26T15:01:00.000-08:00

Matahari bangkit dari sanubariku.
Menyentuh permukaan samodra raya.
Matahari keluar dari mulutku,
menjadi pelangi di cakrawala.

Wajahmu keluar dari jidatku,
wahai kamu, wanita miskin !
kakimu terbenam di dalam lumpur.
Kamu harapkan beras seperempat gantang,
dan di tengah sawah tuan tanah menanammu !

Satu juta lelaki gundul
keluar dari hutan belantara,
tubuh mereka terbalut lumpur
dan kepala mereka berkilatan
memantulkan cahaya matahari.
Mata mereka menyala
tubuh mereka menjadi bara
dan mereka membakar dunia.

Matahri adalah cakra jingga
yang dilepas tangan Sang Krishna.
Ia menjadi rahmat dan kutukanmu,
ya, umat manusia !

Memories

2011-01-23T04:43:00.000-08:00

So many memories that have been forgotten.
So many friends that we've lost.
The good and the bad both fading away.

But I want to keep these memories,
And I don't want to lose you.
Not again, not ever.

The good and the bad is all thats left.
There used to be an us,
But now its just you or I.

I fall apart when I see you with her.
I think about you 24/7.
The truth is I never did get over you.

A Broken Promise

2010-10-27T21:51:00.000-07:00

Hey! Didn’t you tell me
this morning that you’d be
sunny and warm
throughout the day?

I believed you and
washed my entire set
of bed linen and
all the blankets as well.

You were sunny and warm until
I was done washing two loads
and then you decided
to change your mind. Why?

It’s now raining cats and dogs
and I sit wondering
what I’ll do with all
the wet bed linen inside.

It already feels chilly
and the wet bed linen
inside the rooms
make them damp and gloomy.

Couldn’t you have given me
a small hint or a warning?
So I could save all
the washing for another day.

You broke your promise
and that’s not nice.
In future I should know
better than to trust you.

Do’a

Ya Allah... Inilah hamba-Mu

yang meratap mengharap percikan cinta-Mu

Engkau tahu

betapa jelaga nista terus memburu

dosa dan dosa dan dosa

melagukan sonata hawa nafsu

kelu lidahku untuk mengaku di hadapan-Mu

malu jiwaku untuk menatap-Mu

.

Ya Allah...

Dalam gundah penuh ragu aku menghampiri-Mu

Menatap diriku sendiri yang selalu berpaling

Sesekali dosa-dosa kusesali

Tetapi berjuta kali kuulangi

Betapa daku harus menghadap-Mu

Sedang seluruh syaraf batinku hanyalah kisah kepalsuan

Sungguh tiada yang mendesakku, kecuali sebuah pengampunan-Mu

Hostage

2010-10-22T15:19:00.001-07:00

When I'm so alone,
I think of sweet home,
And crawl into my head.

Where there is no fear,
Yet I taste the salt tear,
Until the day I'm dead.

The bonds jerked tight,
There is no bright light,
Hunger cuts like a whip.

But my spirits thrill,
As forward I will
Pray with a swollen lip.

Oh! My God on high,
Show me, I sigh,
Hope on the last trip.

Cinta...
Aku datang hanya membawa cinta...

Cinta yg berisikan mutiara cinta...

Ku ingin kau mengerti cintaku...
Cinta dalam ketulusan jiwaku..
Cinta nan penuh pengorbananku. .
Cinta yg hadir hanya untukmu..

Cintaku bukan cinta yg terbeli...
Cinta yg hadir dengan segala materi..
Cintaku tulus sepenuh hati...

Cinta...aku mencintamu

In Provence

2010-10-22T15:09:00.000-07:00

Tread softly, oh my love.
She, who while the season
is still young, looks longingly
at the pale blossom hung about
the trees and remembers how it
all began, those lazy days down
by the sea, painting horses in the
waves and the shattered lights
dashing through the trees. Those
spent wonder- struck days in hot
Provence, August days without
the relief of tender breeze and all
we had left was our memories so
fixed on lager, beer and wine,
because we lived and loved and
had the time. Sometimes we'd pick
a peach to eat and stroll across the
famous land to cast the seed for future
growth of fruit indeed. And we'd
stare across the fields to view the
lifting shadows we all knew. Then
we'd walk hand in hand, chere
companion, in our forever land.

Kisah Cinta

2010-10-22T15:03:00.000-07:00

Pada sekuntum mawar yang mekar
dan air sungai yang mengalir
disitu ku lihat terukir wajah mu
dan tertulis kisah cinta kita berdua.
Sebuah nostalgia yang lalu
tidak mudah untuk ku lupakan
dan masih ku simpan erat-erat
didalam sebuah potretwajah kita bersama.
Wahai manis ku…Dengarkanlah bisikan hati ku ini!
Pada dua persimpangan laluan jalan hidup ku ini
Aku Cuma ada dua pilihan
Hidup untuk terus menyintai mu
Atau mati !
Kemarin kulihat ia menangis
dalam hening
dalam diam
tanpa airmata
Namun kutahu ia menangis
Sekarang kulihat ia telah tertawa
walau masih ada luka di matanya
walau masih terasa lelah di hatinya
namun ia telah tertawa
Kutahu ia telah pasrah
Kutahu ia telah menyerah
tak berdaya pada kuasa hatinya
tak kuasa pada kehendak cintanya
Dan kini ia hanya diam
menanti dalam rindu yang amat sangat
dalam sepi yang menyengat
Menanti sesuatu yang tak pasti
tapi ia tak peduli
ia hanya tahu cinta yang ia miliki pasti

Hope

2010-10-04T15:32:00.000-07:00

Hope vanishes

And not in a subtle way

Like a foggy mist stretched thick across an un-mowed field of grass

Or a ninety degree day in autumn

More like a

- Stop sign that wasn’t there -

Until you wake up

Upside down and

Covered in someone else’s

blood

Ajarilah Aku

2010-10-04T15:26:00.000-07:00

Ajarilah aku….
Bagaimana seharusnya aku untuk bisa menyayangi mu
Bagaimana seharusnya aku bisa tahu dengan segala keinginan mu
Peluru peluru cemburumu dengan membabi buta
Selalu kau letuskan kedalam benak tempurung kapalaku.

Sungguh mencintai dan dicintai GADIS belia seperti mu
Sama artinya dengan dicintai dan mencintai ORANG GILA
Dan aku pun kini telah ikut menjadi GILA
Dengan tertawa terbahak bahak
Biarlah apa kata DUNIA
Sebab CINTA cucu Adam begitu pelik namun INDAH bila diramu dengan sangat sederhana
Ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Mungkin esok ataupun lusa kuberharap kau akan segera menjadi Dewasa
Biarlah BUNGA INDAH tumbuh mekar sesuai dengan takdirnya
Tanpa harus memiliki dan memetiknya jika memang bukan takdirku
Sebab takdir manusia dengan 1001 kisah CINTANYA tersimpan rapih dalam genggaman Ilahi.

cold heart

2010-10-04T15:22:00.000-07:00

The world is cold
so is my heart
it rarly see's the light
couse im always geting hurt
and always looking back
thinking of the past
my eyes start to moisten
the tears start to leak
i try to push them away but they just stay
i give up and let them flow
i move to a corner and hide in the shadows
and there i shall cry
and there i shall weep

Telah Kupajakkan Cinta ini

2010-10-04T15:21:00.001-07:00

lama telah kuseru
agar baik-bait cinta datang kembali
mencuri hatiku yang telah hilang
namun hanya sepi yang bertandang

lantas kutoleh pada mega petang
yang hampir menghilang
agar berkongsi rasa denganku
yang telah sekian lama dibiarkan sendiri

kukira indah mungkin hidup ini
andai kupajakkan cintaku
pada Dia yang memahami
namun nilainya amat tinggi
dan hantarannya adalah dunia yang besar ini

biar cintaku dipegangNya
agar hatiku tidak perlu resah
menanti esok yang belum pasti
namun kurela jika pajakkanku ini
tidak memberi untung berganda

Under fire at home

2010-09-10T23:27:00.000-07:00

At times your were extremely happy
and impulsive, sometimes morose,
withdrawn or suicidal
trying to hide from the world
or sometimes even aggressive.

Your Manic-Depressive Psychosis
needed a scapegoat
to whip, to burn with molten plastic,
to cut and stab with a knife
and to shoot at with a gun.

You told me
that you had cheated me
with another man
while I was busy
with the computer
and smashed your heels down
on some software
breaking compact disks and started
kicking at the SCSI drives
of the computer.

I got really angry and told you
that in my eyes
you were nothing more
than an unpaid whore.

You didn’t say anything at this
and walked to the bedroom
and I went to the bathroom
to brush my teeth
and get ready for bed.

I have never been closer to death
than when you (my now ex-wife)
with my 9 mm pistol
fired right through
the bathroom door.

Five shots rang out
and the magazine
had nine more
and the bullets were hollow point
and nickel-tipped mixed
and automatically I kept score.

It’s another thing
to be fired upon
by the enemy in war,
but when your wife
go totally nuts
and bullets fly
just past your head
and one brushes your arm
things are out of control.

I didn’t have time
to lock the bathroom door
and took cover
next to the bath
on the floor

and you opened that door
pushed the pistol
against my head
and said that you
would shoot me dead
and I could smell
the burnt gunpowder
but your youngest child
tried to cover me
with his small body.

I should have left you then
and there,
have called the cops,
have had you classified as mad
but love sometimes
doesn’t ask for intelligence
and outreaches problems
on its own.

Satu Pintaku

2010-09-10T23:16:00.000-07:00

Sahabat duduklah disini
mari kita bicara dengan hati
aku tak bermaksud menertawai
apalagi menghakimi
kau boleh cerita sesuka hati
singkap masalah yang tertabiri
bagi rahasiamu mulutku terkunci
Satu pintaku Sahabat di Hari Fitri
lepaskanlah beban dalam hati
untukmu aku ada disini
kuberikan pikiran, tangan dan kaki
bersama-sama kita cari solusi
sesuai jalan yang diridhai Ilahi

Selamat Hari Raya Idul Fitri 1431 H
Mohon Maaf atas Segala Kesalahan Diri

Forever

2010-09-05T20:23:00.000-07:00

Lost on his eyes
love so pure and clean
happieness in his smile
security in his arms
never let me go
safe, warm, loved
cannot go back
tears fall from words
saying goodbye
you leave me dying
peddles on the floor
as a rose falls
watching him leave
missing who i love
awaiting another day
im lost in his love
carring my soul
i am forever yours

untold lies

Disana

2010-09-05T20:14:00.000-07:00

Disana ku peluk matahari
Disana kupandangi sang rembulan
Disana kubasuh tubuh ini dengan taburan bintang
Disana kuberlari diantara pelangi
Disana……
Oh mengapa kau tetap disini ?
Mari ikut aku kesana…
Kuajak kau bercengkrama dengan embun pagi
Melintasi hamparan kabut putih
Sambil bercanda diantara buih ombak
Disana kau akan kembali tersenyum
Disana semua kedamaian menantimu

All about me! ! !

2010-08-31T20:52:00.000-07:00

A description of me by me.

I have been told that I am beautiful, smart, tall and innocent;
But that is what other people who don't know me well say.
From those who know me and they can back me up,
I am as innocent as a sharp knife, meaning I am not innocent at all.
I may be smart in which I am.
I am pretty not beautiful.
And I am not tall at all,
I am more of a medium height.
I am the doom of my sanity.
This is me according to me no-one else.

Ungkapku ...

2010-08-31T20:44:00.000-07:00

Sayangku, seandainya pena ini dapat mencatat semua

Segala cerita yang hampir saja menjauhkan kita

Takkan pernah dapat kuhitung berapa banyak kata yang akan tertuang

Lama sudah kita arungi samudra kehidupan

Akankah kau mendampingiku hingga jiwa ini meninggalkan raga….?

Akankah kau tetap tawarkan aroma di saat hati ini tak lagi mempunyai rasa….?

Engkaulah sang penyembah cinta

Pembasuh luka dalam jiwa

Penuntun hati yang berjalan dalam gelap

Hanya kepadamu sahabat, ku ucapkan rasa terima kasih ku

Woman of Magic

2010-08-16T04:45:00.000-07:00

“Oh woman of magic, charms, spells and strong love potions
will you make me a philtre to give Sarah Green a notion
to fall in love with me and to hold out her left hand
to do as I ask, to marry and wear my gold band? ”

“Tell me, does this Sarah Green know that you exist,
does she give you the eye that flutters so quick?
Does she move gracefully and glance over her shoulder,
smile and pucker her lips, or do something bolder? ”

“No, unfortunately she does none of these desirable things,
but each time I see her she makes my heart sing.
I see her in the village each day and in my dreams at night,
and if I can’t have her I will turn out my life light.”

“It appears to me that you are nothing but a lovesick fool,
how could this Sarah Green make you so drool?
But if I did spend time making you an extra special brew
what could you give me to make your wish come true? ”

“I am by no means a wealthy man, of this you can be assured
and if I was to make you an offer you may think it absurd.
However, are we talking about money in the greatest of sums,
or are we talking about the smallest of crumbs? ”

“A moment ago you said you would turn your life light out,
now what is your life worth, what value would you shout?
It seems that my potions would be worth everything you’ve got,
and if you’ve nothing, you will do anything, am I right, or not? ”

“You mean that money need not be the only method of payment,
and there are other ways to pay for our agreement?
What does one normally have to do to leave you fulfilled,
surely you won’t ask for someone to be killed? ”

“Oh no, no, I wouldn’t sink so low as to hire an assassin
with my spells I can eliminate, alter or fashion.
Now listen to what my dreams have placed on my agenda,
I require a girl child on May 1st whom I’ll name Diana.”

“So you want me to find and kidnap a female child or baby
before ten months has passed, or eleven maybe? ”
“Why don’t you listen properly to what I say you stupid man?
I must conceive a baby in the way only two people can.”

“What! You actually want me to make a baby with you
and you bear my child, and be its mother too?
I don’t know if I can do this, you are so ugly, old and wizen,
my love is for Sarah, and to her only it is to be given.”

“Give me strength, I’m not asking for your love or your heart,
just give me your seed and then we can part.
I don’t want your stimulating conversation, or boring company,
just do as I ask and leave the details to me.”

“Will you give me a potion so you can appear as a real beauty,
so when I make love to you it won’t feel like a duty?
And then of course there is the love potion for Sarah Green
to make her love a reality instead of my dream.”

“Yes, yes, I will give you these potions just wait and see,
so now what is your name and do you agree?
I will draw up a contract and you must sign it in blood,
if it isn’t done this way it’ll be worthless and no good.”

“My name is Alfred George Boon and I agree to all you say,
when do we begin and when do I pay? ”
“When the next moon is full I will concoct Sarah’s brew,
but I will require a hair from her and one from you.

This symbolic union requires the hairs to be tied and knotted
and I will ensure she drinks the potion to become besotted.
Seven weeks and one day there after you both will be wed
and for one week after that you must share my bed.

It is with all this in mind that you shall now freely sign
a contract that is binding in the sight of mankind,
and if for any reason you do not agree then walk away now,
but if you do now sign, it’s your written vow.”

The potion worked, Sarah and Alfred were happily wed,
but one week later he wasn’t in the potion maker’s bed.
The maker of spells and potions was feeling very annoyed
Alfred had broken his contract, and must now be destroyed.

She searched and found him to give him one last chance
and warned him of the punishment in this circumstance.
He told her to get lost and to get her face out of his sight
for his romance was as natural as doves in flight.

She made two new potions to overcome the power of will,
the first one for Alfred and his contract to fulfil.
In disguise she sold this strong potion to Sarah his wife
saying it would put vigour into the man of her life.

Two nights later Alfred hastened to the bed of the maker of spells,
and seven after that he had finished in the house where she dwells.
The morning after, she gave him the second brew in an herbal tea
and minutes later, he was a sapling of a growing birch tree.

She planted the sapling in Druids Wood in a clearing wide and open,
Alfred was of course missed, and at first his wife was heartbroken,
but after several days her love potion wore off and she didn’t care,
she fell in love and ran away with a man from the Goose Fair.

The pregnant woman of magic, charms, love potions and spells
gave birth to her baby who was blessed with the gift to foretell.
On Diana’s sixteenth birthday on the very first day of May
she was to be the May Queen, and it was to be her day.

The sixteen year old birch tree in the wood clearing that once stood so tall
was cut down, trimmed and carried, and placed outside the town hall.
With coloured ribbons and flowers attached, it was firmly fixed in the ground
and was ready for The May Queen and the young people to dance around.

Alfred did not know his daughter had been crowned The May Queen
until mother and daughter together had made themselves seen.
Dancing, laughing and joking, they both kissed the Maypole,
and the tree began weeping from its fresh knot holes.

Bereaksi wajar kala diinjak,
memprotes kala dirugikan,
tidak berlebihan dalam marah,
pantang ngamuk walau dihina,
tegas tanpa harus gelap mata,
adalah pertanda kedewasaan hati kita,
Semoga semakin matang dengan puasa.

I'm Better Than That

I'm wishing you the best,
Pray that you are blessed,
Much success, no stress, and lots of happiness,

I'm not gonna blast you on the radio,
I'm better than that,
I'm not gonna lie on you or your family, yo,
I'm better than that,
I'm not gonna hate you in the magazine,
I'm better than that,
I'm not gonna compromise my Christianity,
I'm better than that,
You know I'm not gonna diss you on the Internet
Cause my momma told me better than that.

Tiada Berakhir

2010-08-01T23:50:00.000-07:00

berulang kali ku baca
ayat ayat dalam ceritamu
hingga ku kenal setiap huruf
ku hafal di mana titik noktahnya
lantas aku mengenal hati
menyelami makna dan
menghayati perasaan...

belum lagi rasanya
jemu itu singgah
belum lagi rasanya
bosan itu bertamu

kucuba mencari makna
setiap kata dalam cerita
berulang kali
agar tiada tersalah tafsir
hanya kerna aku
ingin mengerti
agar lebih memahami

bertanya aku pada yang tiada
bertanya aku pada yang hilang
bertanya aku pada sang sepi
jawab yang ku terima hanyalah
kerinduan

aku menunggu kesinambungan
cerita yang tak berakhir...

When Adversity Falls

2010-07-30T06:56:00.000-07:00

If I couldve found the perfect me
then maybe we'd still be
together forever we'd stand just you and me
but there is no perfect me
and for that im sorry
theres no perfect me because of adversity
but now adversity will fall
and I will stand tall
because ill find the perfect me
and toghether we'll be
just like we used to before my memories
I hope you will still love me for me
and that I will be back in your reality when adversity falls

Bunga dan Matahari

2010-07-30T06:49:00.000-07:00

Lagi-lagi aku menatapmu dengan nanar
Lagi-lagi aku harus menekan perasaan yang membuncah setiap menatapmu
Apa kamu tahu itu?
'my SUN' apa kamu merasakannya?

Aku hanyalah sekuntum bunga matahari
Sekuntum bunga matahari yang hanya dapat menghadap ke arah sang matahari
Tapi apakah sang matahari pernah menghadap ke arahnya?
'my SUN' apa kamu pernah melihat aku?
walaupun sekali saja?

Terkadang aku merasa lelah
Merasa lelah menjadi sekuntum bunga matahari yang terus-menerus mengikuti arah matahari
Terkadang aku ingin berpaling ke matahari yang lain
Tapi sayangnya matahari itu hanya ada satu
Kalaupun ada dua, bagiku tetap satu

My Wicked End

2010-07-30T06:40:00.000-07:00

this is a goodbye to anyone that cares
because this life has become a nightmare
from birth that seemed godsend
to now when you all get to see my wicked end
I will have to see the end because you all lie
so f*ck you all and soon I will say my last goodbye
everyone has hurt me in more ways then one
so soon it will be time to pull out the gun
no longer will I live with such sorrow
wondering if I will get to see tomorrow
I have become a danger to myself
and I realize that I need some help
but when I asked for it you all said go f*ck youself
so I wanna disappear
by grabbing a pair of shears
and cut my arm until im in tears
yea that sounds good, no it sounds wicked
cutting my arm off and putting my body in acid
being able to finally be alone
being able to leave this shitty home
people think im happy but its all just a lie
i mean I cant even count all the tears ive cried
wishing I would die
but now death is possible
and my wicked end is unstoppable
the time when It happens will be unpredictable
and trust me to you all it will be unthinkable

Maaf ...

2010-07-30T06:38:00.001-07:00

Mengenang setiap cerita yang terukir di setiap kesempatan waktu itu.
hatiku yang kau jamah dengan rindu,
masih ku pertahankan!

Meski kini kau tak di sisi ku Lagi,
namun bayangmu masih terLihat jeLas di benakku.

ketuLusan yang kau punya,
membuat namamu seLaLu ada dan terpatri kuat daLam otak pikiranku.

terkadang waktu memaksa tuk meLupakanmu,
namun ternyata suLit tuk memusnahkan

Aku memang tak bisa menjadi seperti apa yang kau ingikan.
Aku juga tak memaksa dirimu untuk seLaLu suka dengan apa yang aku Lakukan.

Aku adaLah aku!
biLa aku diam tak mempeduLikanmu,
itu bukan aku,
meLainkan perih yang kau torehkan

Tapi percayaLah kaLau Luka itu
Kan menjadi sesuatu yang patut dikenang
WaLaupun pahit yang kau rasa
Tapi keLak itu akan menjadi sesuatu yang indah untuk dikenang

Maafkan aku sobat …

Twenty ten introduces a seduction,
Infused with a sigh of relief.

Excuses fade away.
Satisfactions come to stay.
Burdens lift to minimize fear.
Or those perceptions once endeared.

To Leave many freed of sought attachments.
And a connection pursued that romances life!
That feels so right and deep with meaning.

Twenty ten introduces a seduction,
Infused with a sigh of relief.

Many will seek as pure happiness.
Others will not know this gift for what it is!
Accustomed to clinging to duets,
In disharmony.
2010 achieves a sense of freedom within.
A spirituality arrives.
Having little to do with perceptions of religion.

Twenty ten introduces a seduction,
Infused with a sigh of relief.
And an expanded consciousness accepted...
No one can debate or bait to deceive!

Engkau Cintaku

2010-06-02T04:04:00.000-07:00

Adakah engkau disana sepertiku?
memasuki dunia tanpa musim
dimana aku dapat tertawa meski tak sepenuhnya
dimana aku dapat menangis meski tak habiskan air mata
memandang burung dan ombak dari rahim samudra
yang membisikkan musim ke ujung kehidupan
cintaku
kau tak mengenal aku
siapa akupun kau tak tahu
tapi cintaku akan tetap tinggal
dan bekas jarinya tak akan pernah terhapus

Adakah engkau disana sepertiku?
yang tidak mengukur kerinduan dengan sebuah tongkat yang berkilau
yang tak mampu mengucapkan kedalaman kerinduan
yang merasakan bahwa kekuatan untuk mencintai adalah tanpa batas
aku yang terkurung…… mengambil sayap
tapi tak mampu mengarungi angkasa bebas
betapa sedihnya
bila aku harus melepaskan sayap itu
dengan tanganku sendiri

Engkau cintaku
aku mendengar panggilanmu dari balik lautan
dan merasakan sayap – sayapmu membelaiku
aku ingin berlari kepadamu
namun kakiku terkurung diantara dua lampu
aku hanya bisa berdiri di sini
menangisi dan mendengarkan panggilan jiwamu
cintaku

A Beautiful Dream

2010-06-02T03:55:00.000-07:00

One day during sleep
My unconscious mind was working with full speed..
it took me to a remote place
in an awesome and joyful phase..
it was an amazing creation of nature
bearing in everything-God's signature...

I found myself near a lake...
there nothing seemed like fake....
The place made me curious..
but a little bit i felt furious
trees, plants and shrubs were carrying all shades of green..
and sloppy hills covered with wild flowers made a beautiful scene.....
with a scream full of joy
my fear started to destroy...
felt a strong desire to wander near the lake..
with this i gazed at everything in an active state...

Suddenly i felt cool winds stroking...
and watched dark clouds approaching....
At that moment i laid down on the grass,
without a fear that someone might be watching.....
looked at sky and took a deep breath,
saw flowers and leaves in the air floating...
so beautiful was that nature's dance
i felt that i was in a state of mystic trance

suddenly i came across a thought..
that i wanted to be at the hill top..
so i started heading towards the hill..
and was walking till...
with no time i heard a voice..
and thought mother to be there..
but after that i was full aware
that was a dream which i found rare...

lying on the bed another thought arose,
that what made me to see that beautiful place..
and why i was in a joyful and cheerful state..? ? ? ?
with no time i realized...
it was because of a beautiful morning of a rainy day
which i enjoyed with excitement and gay...
that beautiful rainy morning remained in my perception...
and made me to watch that dream, which is in reality an exception.

Semoga Bisa Kembali

2010-06-02T03:21:00.000-07:00

Aku tak pernah berlari meninggalkanmu !
Melangkah menjauhi pun tak pernah terlintas
Aku masih disini…. Aku masih ada…
Namun sebait pun kini tak sempat lagi kubuat

Setiap hari kuhanya bisa berkata pada hati
Besok mungkin dapat kuluangkan waktu lagi
Tuk menulis tentang hati…
Dalam sebentuk puisi

Nyatanya aku tak pernah sempat
Ragaku s’lalu saja terlebih dahulu penat
Sehingga asa dan rasa tak pernah sempat
Dapatkan waktu yang tepat untuk puisi-puisi baru kubuat

Hingga sekali lagi di pagi ini
Kerinduan pada puisi kembali menjadi
Curahan hatiku dalam sebentuk puisi
Semoga esok aku bisa segera kembali

You Say

2010-04-23T15:28:00.000-07:00

You say
You love me,
I play
the fool.

I'm young,
For gods sakes.
I don't know what
Love takes.

I have no idea
How to love you
Like you say
You love me.

But love is just a word,
Nothing compared to
The real thing.
I won't throw it around
Like you do so much now,
While I search for myself
You're thinking
Too much,
About what love is,
While you shouldn't
Need to know.
Because if you feel
That we are real,
You shouldn't need to
Love me.
Why can't you be satisfied with
Just being with me?

I don't know how to return the favor of love,
Nor do I want to.
I want to be young yet,
I want to stay me.
Not throw away innocense,
For some false excuse
Of love.

Jangan Lagi Berbicara Cinta

2010-04-23T15:19:00.000-07:00

Pasti bila esok yang kau tunggu tiba
tidak akan lagi kau dengar bisikan
puisi-puisi rindu seperti lalu
cuma bait-bait bisu tanpa rasa
memendam bersemadi tenang
tenggelam dalam laut kesal

Rindu kembali pulang ke ruang sepi
senyap dalam aroma luka menyisakan rasa
duka telah siap kuterima dalam diam
genggam terurai lewat musim berbunga
janji yang tak pernah terukir dengan kata
hanya berbisik pada redup bola matamu
yang tak bening mengisyaratkan cinta

Esok, puisi-puisi ku tak lagi menjenguk
kerana pagar-pagar benci telah kau dirikan
dengan jemu dan putus asa penantian
jadi senjata membunuh rindu yang datang
darah mengalirkan tanpa henti
lusa jangan lagi kau berbicara cinta

......Lips

2010-04-23T15:14:00.000-07:00

These are my lips.
They are big full lips.
They need more open space to
wrap them selves firm around.
They don't fit onto smug potty, little
pretty faces pout y, these lips
are full wide and free thinking lips.
They don't like to be kept beholding, nor empty.
Wet these lips, have never been without,
they move up north when they want to
they head south when they need to.
What they do.
Unless to you, is none of your business.
Now as i smile, as you wish it were you.
Mine are rich pink firm hard to grasp lips
and these mighty lips,
have sunk more than my share, of ships.
Lips that are magic.
Lips never loose.
Should you, could but come around too know them.
They would pull the oil right out of the ground,
and on a) wo(man, they will never be found.

Is It Poetry

2010-04-23T15:06:00.001-07:00

Aku hanya bisa menikmati
jauh dirimu disana, sedang tertawa dan tersenyum

paling tidak untuk saat ini

meski ada rasa kesepian
meski ada rasa sedih

tapi aku memilih jalan ini
dan terus berlari

bukan untuk menyempurnakan
tapi menerima adanya
bukan untuk melengkapi
tapi saling mengisi

To my love....with agony

2010-03-24T07:01:00.000-07:00

I remember the day I met you
Such moments in my life are few
That was the day I realized
To a barren heart you came as dew

I glanced at your beautiful face
Something my whole life, I would love to gaze
And when you smiled to greet
I felt that our hearts did meet

To me you came as a boon
As a shadow in a hot burning noon
But then I didn’t realize
I shall face the reality soon

You smilingly held a hand
That even the divine feared to take
And today is when I feel
You made a big mistake

Sometimes when I see you in my dream
I hear my soul scream
I can hardly get you water
But my angel you deserve cream

I want you to go away
Far from darkness, in a beautiful day
I want to see you in a life
Where in happiness you can sway

The thought of losing you makes me cry
To get you the world I did try
Just to find my destiny shy
But darling I swear, my love for you was never a lie

I know when you are gone
My life will never see another dawn
But rather than bringing you despair
Its better I take the death chair.

Melepaskan Hidup

2010-03-24T06:59:00.000-07:00

Kau pernah menghujaniku
Dengan butiran air matamu

Tapi kau juga pernah
Tertawa dalam dalam pelukku

Perubahan ini meyakinkan aku
Bahwa tak ada yang abadi

Sejak kau putuskan
Untuk melepaskan hidup

Kau pernah menjadi terang
Dalam gelapku saat tersesat

Tapi kau juga pernah
Menyentuh rasa sakitku

Kepergian itu mengajarkan aku
Bahwa tak ada yang abadi

Sejak kau putuskan untuk
Melepaskan hidup
Sejak kau putuskan untuk
Melepaskan hidup

Alone

2010-03-24T06:35:00.000-07:00

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

Edgar Allan Poe

Wajah Sepi

2010-03-24T06:34:00.000-07:00

Wajah sepimu pagi ini

membuatku ingin kembali memeluk rasa

walau lapisan embun telah tertutup debu hari ini

kenapa tidak benamkan saja lara hati

jangan disimpan lagi

dan jangan sungkan untuk menertawai asa

dan menggodai hati yang kecut terciprat rasa

Only Me

2010-03-12T06:16:00.000-08:00

My hands, My heart, My love,
how they worry over me.
Caught up in my lap,
pray hope, never leave.
Thine are my quite eyes,
faith can follow now see.
And hands do make great,
and hands can rejoice.
But to my past lover,
comes the sea, I must be,
echoing a voice, Only me.

Warisan Dendam

2010-03-12T06:14:00.000-08:00

Pada suatu harin nanti
jika aku bertemu dengan iblis bermuka dewa itu
aku akan menggenapi imajiku
memotong lehermu
dan menenteng kepalamu untuk aku bawa pulang
akan aku jadikan sebagai ganjalan dari tempat tidurku

dan jika itu tidak terwujud,
maka akan aku wariskan dendam ini
kepada semua bait-baitku

350 Days

2010-03-12T06:10:00.000-08:00

350 days in a year
To dream
At night
350 days in a year
To go out and make friends
350 days in a year
To change your life style
By eating foods that are good for you
Because junk food is bad for you
350 days in a year
To follow your daily routine
Because you should have a routine by now

Aldo Kraas

Belum Usai, Sayang

2010-03-12T06:06:00.000-08:00

Malam menimang rembulan diberanda rumah
Cahayanya yang terang memudakan duka
Rangkaian bintang gemintang menambah nuansa indah
Ketika binatang malam menggenapi panorama

Aku mencoba mendekap dirimu
Yang terbalut diantara keraguan sikapmu
engkau nampak bimbang dalam memintal asa
sementara senyummu selalu membias dari indahnya bibirmu

aku mendengar detak dadamu yang kian bergetar
rasa was-wasmu yang tak sanggup menyempurnakan rajutan
terlihat samar dari binarnya kedua matamu
engkau terus saja mengucap dzikir untuk mengalahkan khawatirmu

percayalah sayang, inilah irama hidup dari Sang Ilahi
yang harus kita selami sebagai tanda bila kehidupan ini belum berhenti

You Will Come Back

2010-03-05T03:45:00.000-08:00

My dear, when you came here,
I did ask why you came near,
For, your eager steps stirred me not then;
The distance you crossed indeed was long
Of faltering steps of love and smile;
You lighted my soul, stirred dreams,
Roused gentle streams of joy in heart
And sprouted new hopes of life as never;
I indeed found life then an aureate soft light.

Alas, all human joys are short lived;
Why you thought you were unwelcome here
And retracted the path back home?
Wherever you stray, you must come back
And grace the place where you now belong;
Come, dear love, and make this your home
And gladden my soul with your little ways.

Untuk Masa Laluku

2010-03-05T03:41:00.000-08:00

Terawangku menerawang pada gelap malam
Hembusku berlari menerjang mengawang
Membekap rindu yang tergulir dan bersatu
Akankah bakal datang yang kan kusebut ESOK

Teruntuk kekasih ku yang lalu
Ku tulis hasrat pada lembar awan
Kuminta angin berhembus mengantar kepadamu
Tentang deru rindu yang selalu menggebu

Kugantungkan cinta Bersama rembulan
Dalam sebuah hati yang tertawan
Diantara senandung langkah bumi
terurai harap akan kisah itu

Bilakah engkau akan bersama
Segurat senyum sejuk jiwamu
Menentramkan hati yang gelisah
Mengarungi cerita dalam lautan hidup

Kini ada keindahan yang pergi menjauh
pasrah diri dalam penantian jiwa
Seluruh jiwa raga hati meskipun samar
Tak pernah berhenti mencintainya

My Cherished Moments! ! !

2010-03-03T06:10:00.000-08:00

cherished all the moments spent with you,
called them stolen moments, ,
luved you then luv you now, too, ,
n u never realise what r u, ,
my luv, my teddy,
my sakha, , my cuddly, ,
i keep calling you names;
u just keep calling me life...
however i maybe sharp as a knife, ,
never ever rude to me, ,
oye don't u find me wierd, ,
even if i call u a nerd, ,
my unknown shadow(sha) always with me, ,
just makes me believe thats me's me! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Kalung Persahabatan

2010-03-03T06:07:00.000-08:00

ku kalungkan rantai persahabatan
buatmu yang ku kenali

ku jaga benihnya agar tumbuh subur
ku sirami agar mekar berbunga

tapi mengapa
persahabatan ini di nodai
dengan ulat ulat cinta
meracuni seluruh dedaunan persahabatan
yang terbina indah

Meaning of Love

2010-03-03T06:05:00.000-08:00

What does Love really mean?
Is it giving back massages to your queen?

Or is it helping with the laundry?
Maybe help with the cooking

I know its not good to start a fight
And then go to bed mad at the end of the night

But when you want to start throwing punches at each other
Just hold her hands and tell her that you love her

Love thy neighbor as thy self
Then hang all your memories on the shelf

You have an alcoholic that loves his whiskey
And all his acts are stupidity

Sturgis man loves riding his harley bike
An outdoorsman that loves taking his long weekend hike

The dog loves being with his master
Race car driver would love to see his car to be a little more faster

Business man loves his job a little too much
Women was something that he never touched

So what does love really mean to me?
Its a feeling of being free

What is your life of love to you?
A passion for something that will continue?

I think I can speak for everyone on this subject
That nobody wants to be a love reject

Steve Bomgaars

Keindahan

2010-03-03T06:04:00.000-08:00

melalui jendela dan melihat di langit
blackknight yang indah

memeluk dingin yang ramah
saya melihat ada indah rambut

di laut sebagai gelombang rips
dan aku melihat bulatan indah

purnama yang menjulang jauh
menyentuh mimpi-mimpi

terbawa udara, lengking tajam
gitar steve vai, aroma jiwa " lotus feet "

dan badai di langit mendengar kekecutan
goyang di ujung hati. saya mengeluh

melihat indah nada suara terlalu indah
aku tidak akan cukup berani meminta sebuah
pertanyaan untuk hati.

I Do Not Love You Except Because I Love You

2010-02-23T06:19:00.000-08:00

I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it's you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.

Maybe January light will consume
My heart with its cruel
Ray, stealing my key to true calm.

In this part of the story I am the one who
Dies, the only one, and I will die of love because I love you,
Because I love you, Love, in fire and blood.

Pablo Neruda

Lulur Biji Pelangi

2010-02-23T06:09:00.000-08:00

Terlelap dalam timangan sang mimpi
Merenggut rasa letih tubuh
Secangkir kenikmatan menghangatkan hati
Yang terguyur oleh tamparan hujan airmata

Sepenggal kalimat manis
Yang kau petik diranting bunga persik
Kau sajikan diatas meja dengan rangkain doa
Senyuman tarian hujan menyapa dibalik jendela
Menyematkan buliran kata terima kasih untuk wanita
Yang berbaring memelukku
Ketika tubuhku menggigil penuh khawatir
Mengusap kepalaku untuk menepis getir
Kau luluri tubuhku dengan biji pelangi
Yang kau saring dengan rajutan kain dipundakmu
Saripatinya masih jelas terkecap dilidahku

Terima kasih sayangku
Ramuanmu, lebih manjur dari mahalnya resep
Yang kau tebus dari apotik-apotik terdekat

Why I Listen To You

2010-02-23T06:07:00.000-08:00

You have a soul
You speak from the soul
You care about me
You trust me
You uplift my spirits
you are not keen on hurting me
you are not a brag
You are neutral when it comes to guidelines
your are smart
Need I say beautiful from the intra to the extra?
You are a blessing
You are miracle
You are an answer to a prayer I never made
You are one person I take very seriously in my life
You are the right person, with the right motive at the right moment to the wrong unworthy person (me)
You are a reason that houses a zillion reasons as to why perfection is perfection

Demi Hati

2010-02-23T06:04:00.001-08:00

Aku pernah melihat kepedihan di matanya
yang mengalir di antara perbukitan sepi
ia adalah sesuatu yang meskipun aku,
tidak mampu menuliskannya.

Luka dan duka, membingkis sekeping hati
menjadi sebaris pelangi
menghilang dalam fantasi.

Dan tanpa kusadari, aku telah menjadikannya
boneka tanpa perasaan
lalu di matanya kulihat kepedihan yang menikam

Kepedihan itu kemudiannya menusuk pangkal jantungku
kerana ia seakan berkata:
engkau hanyalah seorang celaka berdarah dingin
tanpa jiwa dan belas kasihan.

A Beautiful Person

2010-02-07T06:49:00.000-08:00

She has little money to enjoy or spend
She has little money to enjoy or spend
But to other people she is a good friend
To help out her poverty line neighbours she goes out of her way
And for her assistance she never asks for pay.

A very good person that's to give her fair due
And to her higher self she will always be true
If she cannot help you she will not drag you down
The quiet unsung heroine of a very small Town.

Single in her early fifties she lives on her own
A halo of goodness around her has grown
A beautiful person untainted by conceit or guile
She has warmth in her greeting and warmth in her smile.

The quiet unsung hero with few words to say
She helps some-one in need of help every day
Does her elderly neighbours shopping for him he's confined to a wheel-chair
She is a great person her type seem so rare.

Just to live as a good person is her only life's goal
This beautiful woman with a beautiful soul
Untainted by snobbery or guile or conceit
One like her one does not meet on every street.

Francis Duggan

Seikat senyum

2010-02-07T06:43:00.000-08:00

Goyangan ilalang mencacah sinar mentari
Semburan angin membawa butiran debu
Melekat diantara kepingan-kepingan dan jiwa
Menyekat bayang bening keindahan alam
Yang terus bergamit

Merah senja menyisaratkan masa
Terdengar suara kicauan burung prenjak
Yang berlompatan diantara ranting jambu
Aku dapati cinta itu terselip diantara lambaian daun pisang

Aku buka jendela hati ini
Untuk mengijinkan sirkulasi sukma
yang terus mencecap diantara kilatan sajak-sajak
engkau terus membentangkan sayapmu
walau nyanyian cibiran itu terus bergema dengan sumir

dipagi ini engkau kembali
aku dapati seikat senyumanmu

Make it life

2010-02-07T06:35:00.000-08:00

Life is every where
It is in you now and forever it shall stay
Life is the wind blowing sideways
Life is the winter and the summer
I am Life You are Life We are Life
I love Life and Life loves me
Life and I play beneath the midnight sun
Life and I play beneath the morning moon
Life brings me soup when I am ill
Life kisses me good night and greets me with a smile
Life is sad and it is lonely
Life is evil and Life is blunt
Life is a true friend and never lies
I am Life You are Life We are Life

Cinta itu Anugrah

2010-02-07T06:31:00.001-08:00

Saat dia mengalir melintasi hatimu...
Kemudian tiba-tiba menjadi arus deras...
Dan Memenuhi bendungan hatimu..
Kau tak sanggup tuk menahannya..

Biarkan dia melintasi...
Biarkan dia bersemayam pada inti bumi...
Biarkan dia menggelegarkan gunung-gunung diatasnya...
Biarkan dia membakar meteor yg melintasi...

Sesungguhnya. ..

Bahwa Cinta itu Anugrah...
Yang dilimpahkan untukmu.....

Dan kau patut mensyukurinya. ..

Be with Me

2010-01-14T21:24:00.000-08:00

look back the promise sunshine whether, the
fulfilling thirst of annoyed heart; like as what the
waiting grass dried in the middle of the oasis
it grows, the wind will past it through

let be my little prayer of love, will hold you to go
back in the womb of my beloved mother, for
a precious moment I live freeze my sacred falling
tears into the grown, till I die

oh! breezing speed; sadness wait my request for
a releasing pleasing heart never forget the coming
day, where I come to depart to lay down my card
of immortal faculty, as you promise me the heaven
will stop for no one will be gone

sole I walk, as the man of the hour cease to face
in the ground I’ve come, for a parting goodbye
tells me to leave my dear beloved

close dear my eyes, the distance has to catch the end …

Tuhan

2010-01-14T19:45:00.000-08:00

Tuhan
Bimbing aku menapaki setiap goresan takdirku
Buat aku mengerti makna di dalam nafasku
Berilah sabar atas semua yang terjadi
Biarkan aku selalu bersyukur atas semua yang ada

Tuhan
Aku terkadang lemah
mempertanyakan tentang keberadaanmu
Meragukan uluran tanganmu disetiap deritaku
Melupakan mu disetiap Gembiraku

Tuhan
Aku ini manusia tak berilmu
Yang selalu merasa semua adalah karenaku
Terkadang aku lupa menghadirkanmu dalam hidupku
Terlalu bodoh menyingkap takdir yang kau berikan

Tuhan
Ijinkan aku bersukur atas semua pemberianmu
Ijinkan Aku mendekat dan mencintaimu
Ijinkan aku merasakan keberadaanmu
Ijinkan aku Memujamu dan berbakti padamu

Terima kasih tuhan
Atas Nafas dan Kehidupan yang kau beri
Semua goresan takdir yang terlewati
Semoga hati ini bisa selalu memujimu
Kini ku yakin kau selalu ada untuku

Together forever

2010-01-14T19:44:00.000-08:00

As the lonely nights drive past
and the sensless nights burn fast,
my mind is blessed of you,
thinking of the things you'll do.

I cry your name as if you're here
but of course theres no reply my dear.
Together forever, we're meant to be
as these toughts drips for eternity.

Seperated by the difficulties of life
I cry, I cant live without you.
So tonight i run,
I'll run unto the sun.

Before it hits like a blast.
I run to you.

Tonight is the night
where we make things right.
we will run,
and make things fun.

So close your eyes,
and taste your life,
as we slip away,
we hold on tight as we let go

As we stare with bloodshot eyes
our souls fall into the skies.
We're here now.
Together forever.

So, now as the lonely nights drive past
and the senseless days burn fast.
I sit alone with nothing but you.

Our lives are over,
but we're happier than ever,
because we're together forever.

Mawar Mudahku yg Cantik

2010-01-14T19:37:00.000-08:00

Dibalik semburat putih wajahmu teduh
Anganku melayang-melanglang jauh
Sepucuk harapan bermain dan berlabuh
Mengharap kau semakin bertumbuh

Mawar mudaku nan ayu bersahaja
Dalam panas mentari elokmu menebarkan makna
Menepiskan duka, menghantarkan bahagia
Menarik segenap alam tuk hening memuja

kaulah pengganti bidadari terbang
Mengalirkan manis madu pada sejuta kumbang
teruslah bernyanyi dalam tangis riang
Besar dan tumbuh dengan senang

Kini Aku menunggu mekarmu penuh
Akan ku jaga dengan segala peluh
Di sini --menanti, kuncupmu tumbuh
teruslah mekar kuncup mawarku teruslah tumbuh

penghujung laju berselimutkan mega
bercanda mesra engkau dengan angin kelana
sang bayu terus saja nakal menggoda
Malu memuji indahmu Putri tercinta

Sepoi-sepoi bercanda di antara kelopak lentik
Semilirnya menitipkan embun sepercik
Sebagai sajak rayuan yang lembut menggelitik
Padamu, mawar muda ku yang teramat cantik

A Clown's Smirk in the Skull of a Baboon

2009-12-19T20:14:00.000-08:00

a clown's smirk in the skull of a baboon
(where once good lips stalked or eyes firmly stirred)
my mirror gives me,on this afternoon;
i am a shape that can but eat and turd
ere with the dirt death shall him vastly gird,
a coward waiting clumsily to cease
whom every perfect thing meanwhile doth miss;
a hand's impression in an empty glove,
a soon forgotten tune,a house for lease.
I have never loved you dear as now i love

behold this fool who,in the month of June,
having certain stars and planets heard,
rose
very slowly in a tight balloon
until the smallening world became absurd;
him did an archer spy(whose aim had erred
never)and by that little trick or this
he shot the aeronaut down,into the abyss
-and wonderfully i fell through the green groove
of twilight,striking into many a piece.
I have never loved you dear as now i love

god's terrible face,brighter than a spoon,
collects the image of one fatal word;
so that my life(which liked the sun and the moon)
resembles something that has not occurred:
i am a birdcage without any bird,
a collar looking for a dog,a kiss
without lips;a prayer lacking any knees
but something beats within my shirt to prove
he is undead who,living,noone is.
I have never loved you dear as now i love.

Hell(by most humble me which shall increase)
open thy fire!for i have had some bliss
of one small lady upon earth above;
to whom i cry,remembering her face,
i have never loved you dear as now i love

Rasaku

2009-12-19T19:25:00.000-08:00

Aku ingin meniupkan rinduku pada awan
memejamkan mata
melukis lengkung senyumnya pada langit

Kekasih
dimana kau?
kucari
ku teriakkan
ku bisikkan namamu di ujung biru

Tak jua usai rasaku
hingga batas pagi
senja dan ujung waktu

Gentleman Alone

2009-12-15T16:44:00.000-08:00

The young maricones and the horny muchachas,
The big fat widows delirious from insomnia,
The young wives thirty hours' pregnant,
And the hoarse tomcats that cross my garden at night,
Like a collar of palpitating sexual oysters
Surround my solitary home,
Enemies of my soul,
Conspirators in pajamas
Who exchange deep kisses for passwords.
Radiant summer brings out the lovers
In melancholy regiments,
Fat and thin and happy and sad couples;
Under the elegant coconut palms, near the ocean and moon,
There is a continual life of pants and panties,
A hum from the fondling of silk stockings,
And women's breasts that glisten like eyes.
The salary man, after a while,
After the week's tedium, and the novels read in bed at night,
Has decisively fucked his neighbor,
And now takes her to the miserable movies,
Where the heroes are horses or passionate princes,
And he caresses her legs covered with sweet down
With his ardent and sweaty palms that smell like cigarettes.
The night of the hunter and the night of the husband
Come together like bed sheets and bury me,
And the hours after lunch, when the students and priests are masturbating,
And the animals mount each other openly,
And the bees smell of blood, and the flies buzz cholerically,
And cousins play strange games with cousins,
And doctors glower at the husband of the young patient,
And the early morning in which the professor, without a thought,
Pays his conjugal debt and eats breakfast,
And to top it all off, the adulterers, who love each other truly
On beds big and tall as ships:
So, eternally,
This twisted and breathing forest crushes me
With gigantic flowers like mouth and teeth
And black roots like fingernails and shoes.

Translated by Mike Topp

Kaulah Senyumku

2009-12-15T16:37:00.000-08:00

Disaat semua kata telah habis terucap
Disaat hati tak lagi bisa berkata
Demi cinta yang ada dihatiku
Sampai mati dirimu kan dihatiku
Selalu menjaga hatimu...hingga berakhir nafasku

Semampunya akan aku selami dirimu
Sesungguhnya kau yang selalu membuatku berarti
Pahami semua apa yang terjadi
Kenangan cinta yang terindah
Tiada mungkin tuk terganti

Kaulah senyumku juga tawaku
Kaulah damaiku juga bahagiaku
Kaulah nafasku juga jantungku
Ku rasa getaran cinta
Di setiap tatapan matanya

Oh Tuhan...tolonglah aku
Sampai mati kisah ini kan ku jaga

I Believe

2009-12-15T16:26:00.000-08:00

I believe, that life is likened to, a
piece of fine crystal. It can be
beautiful, or in a moments notice,
be shattered, beyond repair.

If you do not believe in love at
first sight, believe...that perhaps,
your vision is impaired.

It matters not your age in life,
I believe love, should be
welcomed and treasured.

I believe, that many of our unanswered
questions, are only answered, when
we are no longer, of earthly matter.

I believe that some things are better
kept to ones self.

I believe that there are rooms in life's
experience, that should not be entered.

Do you believe in your God? Do you
believe, that your religion is the right
religion? What do you believe of the
billions of people who do not believe,
as you believe?

I believe, it could not be, that one religion,
is the true way to worship.
I believe, that there is one Supreme Being.
I believe this Supreme Being, is by-lingual,
multi-colored and of all ethnic races.
I believe He loves and blesses us all.

I believe, in order for this to be a better
world, it must begin with each
of us trying to be better.

I believe that the billions, upon billions
of dollars spent on the machine of war,
could better be used for poor and
disenfranchised.

I believe in a new days discovery.
I believe, in the beauty of nature.
I believe, in the kiss of the rain.
I believe that true friends are rare.

I believe in charity, without recognition.
I believe, in extending a helping hand,
to those in need.
I believe, in preserving the dignity of humanity.
I believe in the innocence of children.

I believe that one, should never let their
heart, do their thinking.

I believe, in the goodness of humanity.

I believe, that true trust, is like interest
earned, on money in a bank... it comes
with the passing of time.

I believe in wisdom.
I believe in the beauty of a starlit sky.
I believe in promises kept.
I believe that America, truly is
the land of opportunity.

I do not believe, that most dreams come true.
I do believe, that dreams can lead one
to the path, of ones inner desires.

I believe, that many listen, but do not hear.
I believe in honesty and integrity.
I believe, in a mothers love.
I believe in a fathers pain.

I believe, in placing ones family first.
I believe that many successful people,
leave in their path, countless orphans
of success.

I believe, when the sickness is sadness,
laughter is the cure.

I believe, that a good work ethic, can
serve all of us well.

I believe in good wine and good friends.
I believe, in a time each day, to give thanks.
I believe in forgiveness.
I believe, if one can forgive a friend,
then surely, one can forgive family.

I believe in the power of the written word.
I still believe in hand written letters.
I believe the first cup of coffee in the
morning, is the best.

I believe...it's important to believe in
something you care about.

I believe, in sanctity of life.

I believe that each day of life, is
precious and a treasure of
unequalled value.

Untukmu para Penguasa Senja

2009-12-15T16:24:00.000-08:00

Untukmu para penguasa senja
Yang menjajakan jajanan berupa baliho, pamflet dan stiker
Disepanjang jalan-jalan menuju rumahku
Bahkan disudut toilet dekat stasiun-stasiun
Atau bahkan diseberang tumpukan-tumpukan sampah

Untukmu para penguasa senja
Yang selalu hadir disaat rakyat merasa jera
Dengan janji-janji bakul jamu amatiran menawarkan khasiat obatnya
Layaknya sang pahlawan dari negeri alengka
Lalu menyetorkan muka agar mendapat jatah

Untukmu para penguasa senja
Yang membuka warung baliho, pamflet dan stiker bergambar wajah
Bertebaran disepanjang jalan-jalan dan perempatan
Menempel di gang-gang kecil dan perkampungan
Menjulang diangkasa
Dengan bertuliskan slogan “Menerima pesanan partai dan eceran”

Untukmu para penguasa senja

Where We Are

2009-11-26T22:49:00.000-08:00

So here we are at last
Ultimatum set in place
Whether or not I should reflect on the past
Fates worst blow struck my chest
As my mind seeks to erase
Us by your request
My body is numb
I cant feel a thing
I’m in a different spectrum
My eyes struck with confusion
At how you’re a human being
But its all fiction
You cant even see
The bloody tear
That runs down me
As it stains my cheek
The scar I fear
The mark that lets me know I’m weak
I’m stuck in my shadow now
Left with only a false reality
Word that’s stuck on my lips is “how”
Thoughtless I roam
No source of sensitivity
Unattached I return home

No one can find me
I’m right in front of them
The bloody tear instilled with what I was
The memories locked in the plasma
Hits the floor and I’m no longer
So it is
Soul lost in a void so haunting
Because its left with only wanting
Of all that once was and what cold have been
Last I speak my peace
Wished that you wouldn’t be the one have me fall
And be the end of it all

Christopher Mendoza

Akhir Penantian

2009-11-26T22:42:00.000-08:00

Ada masa ketika aku melihatmu
tertatih mengitari sunyi
menjumputi asa
sisa-sisa peziarah yang lapar
dan menggadaikan mimpinya

rindu aku melihatmu lagi
meski berkerudungkan debu yang menguratkan
panjang perjalanan yang kau ukir di atas pasir
sebentar lenyap terkais-kais angin

hari ini,
diseberang jalan yang kukira akan kau lalui
menunggu aku bersua denganmu
tetapi badai yang datang
tak menyisakan sedikitpun bayang-bayangmu

Into Every Life

2009-11-21T19:50:00.000-08:00

She looks into air, herself falling rain
Dripping coldness past, memories old pain.

Drops fall, the puddling her damp water-life.
Spiraling a mirror, self-lonely strife.

A sigh, one frown, crying soft saddened tears.
Storms of remember - through bleak yesteryear.

Clouds a-whorl, dark sky sheltering fair heart.
But how can she joy, while taking no part?

Cov'ring cold soul, corona of defense.
Defying the stab of her fate's intents.

This is madness, she thinks in plaintive cry.
I'm here, on the cusp, of lay down and die.

What my destiny, but an empty-off dream?
A plaything with which gods and angels scheme.

Am I doomed then to live, time never-free?
Subsumed wholly 'neath life's scattered debris?

Is justice, outside this torrential doubt?
Perhaps more than sorrow, painful fall-out?

Is love, perhaps, just a sliver of sun?
Shining through mists, revealing Avalon?

Personal paradise, which I can own,
Evoking happiness, hither unknown?

She raises from streets of lonely no more.
Light slicing through darkness, hopes washed ashore.

Her withered gait now straightening with pride.
She glides like an angel 'cross future's tide.

Belief in life renewed, no, only found.
Footsteps echoing, a cadence of sound.

Caressing the ground, sing the beat of her heart.
Into the sun seeking love's brand new start.

Rasaku Telah Mati

2009-11-21T19:07:00.000-08:00

Terdiam aku dengan kesungguhan nadamu
bahwa aku bukan jalan hidupmu,..
Kau minta ku tetap di sini,.. dan ku masih di sini
setia menjadi diari hidupmu,..
Ku gembira di bahagiamu,..
Ku menangis di sedihmu,..
Aku berharap masih punya simpati untukku,..
Berharap masih punya kesempatan untuk bahagia,..
Lama-lama aku jadi tau,..
Semakin ku inginkanmu,..
semakin ku harus melupakanmu..
Tak mungkin ku menunggu sampai kau mau...
karna yang ku tahu kau tak mau...
Maaf, ku tak sanggup lagi menatapmu
dengan kebohongan mataku,..
Ku tak sanggup menyentuh hangat bahasamu
dengan senyum sakitku,..
Dan aku tak mungkin dapat bertahan,..
Kau pasti tinggalkan aku saat kau temukan bahagiamu,..
Pastilah kau tinggalkan aku untuk indah hidupmu,..
Mohon jangan kau kenang aku saat kau sedang setia,..
Mohon jangan kau abadikan kisah tanpa status ini,..
Aku tak ingin jadi bagian dalam sejarah hayatmu,..
Aku biarlah begini,.. tanpa cinta..
Aku tetaplah begini,.. tanpa cinta yang lain..
Cinta takkan lagi tumbuh dihatiku,..
Rasaku telah mati bersama cinta yang kalah....!

The Final Act

2009-11-04T01:58:00.000-08:00

Screeching tires, shattering glass,
twisting metal, fiberglass.
The scene is set it all goes black,
The curtain raised the final act.
Sirens raging in the night,
sounds of horror, gasps of fright.
Intense pain, the smell of blood
tearing eyes begin to flood.
They pull out our bodies one by one,
What is going on, we were only having fun!
One of my friends is missing, what did I do?
Her scattered belongings everywhere,
in the road there lies her shoe.
A man is leaning over me and looking in my eyes,
"What were you thinking, son"?
"Did you really think that you could drive?"
He pulled up the sheet still looking in my eyes,
"If you'd only called your Mom or Dad, you'd still be alive!"
I started to scream, I started to yell;
But no one could hear me, no one could tell.
They put me in an ambulance; they took me away.
The doctor at the hospital exclaimed, "DOA!"
My father's in shock, my mother in tears,
she collapses in grief, overcome by the fear.
They take me to this house and place me in this box.
I keep asking what is happening,
But I cant make it stop.
Everyone is crying, my family is so sad.
I wish someone would answer me,
I'm starting to get mad.
My mother leans over me and kisses me good-bye,
My father pulling her away, she is screaming, "WHY"?
They lower my body into a dirt grave,
It feels so very cold, I yell to be saved.
Then I see an angel; I begin to cry.
Can you tell me what is happening?
she replies "YOU DIED."
I can't be dead; I'm still so young!
I want to do so many things - like sing, and dance, and run.
What about college or graduation day?
what about a wedding? Please - I want to stay.
The angel looked upon me, and with a saddened voice,
"It didn't have to end like this; you knew you had a choice."
"I'm sorry it's too late now; time I can't turn back."
"Your life is finished; that, my son, is a fact!"
Why did this happen? I didn't want to die!
The angel, she embraced me and with her words she sighed,
"Son, this is the consequence you paid to drink and drive.
I wish you made a better choice, If you did you would be alive.
It doesn't matter if you beg me, or plead on bended knee, There is
nothing I can do, you have to come with me."
Looking down at my family, I said my last good-bye.
"I'm sorry I disappointed you, Dad.
Mommy, please don't cry,
I didn't mean to hurt you, or cause you any pain.
I'm sorry all you're left with is a grave that bears my name.
I'm sorry all your dreams for me have all been ripped away;
the plans for my future all gathered in a grave.
It was such a stupid thing I did, I wish I could take it back;
But the curtain is being lowered.
SO ENDS THE FINAL ACT...

Semedi di Rahim Ibu

2009-11-03T21:26:00.000-08:00

(untuk ibu pertiwi yang air matanya
tak henti menjadi doa)

Telah lama tak kudidihkan jantung ini
untuk sekedar menghafal warna darahku.
Di sini tahun-tahun begitu sakit untuk dibaca,
sesakit tanah airku yang terus digadai air mata.
Dari detik-detik yang kutelan kemarin,
ingatanku meleleh bersama gelisah para pedagang
yang perlahan keringatnya disadap konversi minyak ke gas,
kucium kota-kota tak lagi perawan, di saat deretan mall
dibangun khusuk bersama bising knalpot.
Kulukis ijrail di ruang ini, sambil menghafal banjir yang mengalir
dari mata ibuku. Untuk kesekian kalinya,
kusaksikan orang-orang kian menyusu di trotoar,
ketika kampung halaman ditinggal bukit dan sawah.

Inilah negeriku, negeri yang pasrah air tanahnya disedot kapitalis.
Melulu BBM kita ditipu, melulu pendidikan dijarah komoditi,
melulu reformasi ini dicetak realita dengan arti "repot makan nasi".
Lalu tiba-tiba nadiku merambat ke rahim ibu,
menyaksikan doa-doa kelu yang kian disebrangkan globalisasi.
Mengapa harus kutunggu masa depan negeri ini karam,
saat air mata kita adalah sekoci yang siap dilayarkan harapan.
Mungkin masih tersisa sebiru catatan di hatiku,
tentang nilai kesederhanaan yang memuai ke pagi ini,
di mana kesejukannya mengabadi bersama puisi.
