Hujan dan Kertas

gadis jeruk, waktu telah menjawab
begitu banyak pertanyaan tentang fana dan impian
mengajarkan akan arti setia
layaknya bumi yang selalu berputar
layaknya sinar matahari di kala pagi
layaknya bulan dan bintang yang bersinar
seperti malam ini
yang akan selalu terulang, walau terkadang badai datang
mungkin fajar nanti membawa kabut tebal
dan sang putri malam hanya bisa mengintip dari balik awan
namun ketahuilah, ia selalu melihat bumi seperti itu
selama jutaan tahun yang berlalu
maka begitu pula diriku dan dirimu

gadis jeruk, malam ini akan usai
mentari telah beranjak
dan percakapan kita akah berakhir
ku akui satu hal, embun pagi ada di mataku
karena bulir-bulir air lembut itu telah lama hilang
dan yang tersisa hanya sebuah lilin hijau yang menyala
yang telah menyala selama 5 tahun putaran semesta
malam ini akan segera habis; api yang dihembus angin pun tergetar
tetapi, ruang yang telah tercipta akan selalu ada
dan mungkin suatu saat tetesan air akan kembali memenuhi dahaga
lima dinamika manusia
dan jalan setapak yang telah dilalui
suatu saat mungkin akan kembali
hanya, mungkin.

gadis jeruk, telah habis waktuku bercerita
bab terakhir dari coretan-coretanku
yang telah kutulis selama empat tarian bintang
harapanku hanya satu; untuk kau mengerti
apa keinginanmu dan tujuanku
karena kita telah beranjak dewasa
dan memilih jalan setapak yang kita jejak
dan berjalan di malam sepi
hingga saatnya nanti, suatu hari
bulan dan bintang kembali menemani malam
saat kabut perlahan pergi


*saat berjalan bersama bukan lagi jawaban, berjalan pergi adalah pilihan

let asleep dear fairy
thy shoulders begin to weary
the precious light, the moon
high on the sky she waits dawn
the nightbugs, the dances they do
mesmerize the lofty night's surrounds
hear the owl sings, a lullaby
a tale of life and bravery

close thy eyes, let asleep dear fairy
thy wings are broken for now
rest awhile, thou shall fly tomorrow
once again, embrace breezing winds

so let asleep dear fairy
nightwatch shall be mine
reast assured and feel no weary
upon thy peaceful smile
the lofty night shall remains
the bright yellow, the sun
shall greet a shiny sunrise
while thou, dear fairy, awakened at dawn

hello february i miss your bright sanctuary
greenish yards and blooming roses
cocoons are empty; butterflies have left their hideouts
and they're dancing beautifully
and birds are singing, as warm yellow slowly lighten the athmosphere
band of horses triumph on the horizon
and melting ice is being a rivers of flowing fresh water

i'm always attached to february
its morning leaves a deep trace somehow, always
like eagles which always go back to its nest after a day's hunting
wherever they may go
it's like footsteps to home
calming, yet astonishing
and there's always a warm feeling
during february
perhaps, it is home
perhaps, i'm already home.

thou whose story i shall remember

will you ever be cured from all those bittersweets?

like reddish orange sunrise, perfectly awaken from night

a bright morrow, that is

grasp thy air-bubbles

wield thy red vest

and sharpen thy pointed-glasses

a hope clings now, there is

shaken, and yet to bloom

like a fluttering hackney carriage

ever since the horse broke free

let it open, unlock thy red-brick door

and i will offer the four season day

turn away and go blind

polluted by past occurences

and headache distorting my mind

i shall seek no further, i shall forget every experiences

the clear blue sky still here

chapters of the book i feel

shall be re-written under its dusky pages

and forever shall remain, encrypted caligraphy of the neverland’s sunset

can we actually really hate each other without any compassion?

since there’s killing everyday, hatred spread everwhere, so i simply ask.

even if we are the endanger species (like what some scientists believe, “no aliens!”).

so is it pointless to reach a peace? oh i’m sorry, people hate that word.

“peace’s only for weaklings!”, or perhaps “we want peace, but they started first!”

hating and blaming and hardening self position and ignore negosiation,

to what extend?

then perhaps, it should have been no “we”, just me, you, or them.

can we actually shake hands without fake intention?

to make the world a less dangerous one for our children, if not for ours.

or has our anger taken away our love for the little ones?

perhaps what’s wrong is not in our heart.

perhaps, it’s only our ego that stops us from seeing each other’s heart.

oh, too many perhaps, and the clock’s still ticking

and there are still people dies.

hunger, refugees, environmental problems, trafficking, health.

so many problems for mankind, yet here we are, arguing about which one’s the best.

what’s the point of being the best, if there’s no more life to live?

can we actually see others and say,

“you are my friend, whoever you are, wherever you come from, whatever religion you believe.”

“because after all, we’re still humans with hearts inside us.”

with her by my side

i shall dance until there’s no fight

and the world shall be in peace

merry in joyfulness, cherishes the bliss

with her walks beside me

green grasses shall bloom the flowers

shadowy night sky shall be full of stars!

and we could walk on the romantic charles bridge

at night

with her in my mind

there are oceans so far away to stare

there’s a longing for the journey ahead

and it will be here, stays for minutes to fade into ageless circle

until there’s no more distance, only heart to remember
