Bulan dan bayu
oraknya lembut si bayu malam
menghembus pada wajah sang bulan
sang bulan tersenyum dibalik awan
mengenang bayu sambil berdendang
aku melihat bulan disapa
bulan diam tanpa kata
ditutup mata, dirasa sahaja
bulan tersenyum ingin ketawa
aku bertanya, kenapa ketawa?
bulan jawab, tak ada apa apa
bulan tersenyum, aku diam sahaja
bayu nan syahdu terus menyapa
kata aku pada bulan dan bayu
aku lihat ada indah disitu
bulan tersenyum pada sang bayu
tapi aku buat tak tahu
aku tanya bulan, kau senyum kenapa?
bulan jawab, tak ada apa apa
aku senyum, bulan diam sahaja
bertiup bayu tetap pesona
bulan, bayu
jauh, jauh
dekat, dekat
sama, sama
tidak serupa
aku bertanya, apa yang serupa?
bulan jawab, tak ada apa apa
aku senyum, bulan menari gembira
bayu nan gemalai tak puas menerpa
hahahahha ohhhh. sekian
I'm Not You
My feet are small,
And yours are huge,
Nay, your feet won’t fit my shoes,
And mine, too small to fit in yours.
Be glad, be grateful,
That you’re not me,
And I’m not you.
You’ve been running and jumping,
been hiking and flying,
been getting what you want,
enjoying things that you’ve won,
Glad that you are happy,
’tis sad that you’re too floaty.
I’ve been running and jumping,
been searching and traveling,
been trying to get up on my own,
after falling and stumbling,
Somehow I’m too tired,
but don’t you see I’m still trying?
You can’t see my soul,
See the life that I’ve been living.
Time moves, things change,
Things might get worse for me,
and they get a lot better for you.
Be grateful, oh be grateful,
‘Cause you’re not me,
and I’m not you.
{300th post} It’s been 10 years since I..
It’s been 10 years since I,
Looked up into the wide sky,
to watch the sun rose from the horizon,
the beautiful stigma of a hibiscus,
and the creatures that strengthened the true love,
the ones who greeted me in the morning,
and whom i greeted in the noon,
happily we greeted each other in the midnight.
It’s been 10 years since I,
Stared into the muddled gray sky,
as it gave me the smell of the rain,
and I was excitedly ran outside,
to feel the raindrops on my skin,
and I told her how much I appreciated,
every single cold drop that she gave to me,
cause that’s what God decided to send to the earth.
It’s been 10 years since I,
Sat alone, silently weeping in a huge room,
Asking God for a place to breath,
as my life was leaving me crazed,
leaving me tired of everything,
leaving me crying on my mat,
in each of the sleepless night,
when the shadow of blackness crept into my head.
It’s been 10 years since I,
Wore shirts full of cat fur and some dirt,
It’s sad that, my hands smelt like fish,
The tears ran down my face as I washed the dish,
Feeling guilty of the spoon I broke,
‘Cause some cats were sick,
and some were dead on the road.
But it was 10 years ago that I,
lived happily in the world of my own,
the world that I was the only caliph to live in,
the world that made me wonder,
how it didn’t make me feel lonely,
and how I wasn’t afraid of being alone,
cause it was the world that put me a tad closer,
to the Lord, the Most Glorious.
Sunyi
Sunyi, kaku, terkurung
Di dalam sebuah kotak
Lalu dikeluarkan
Dimasukkan ke dalam kotak yang lain
Kotak ditutup
Dikunci rapi
Gelap, sejuk
Namun berkeringat
Duduk di suatu sudut
Memeluk tubuh
Mengesat titisan sejuk di dahi
Darah panas mengalir
Sukarnya bernafas
Menanti kotak dibuka
Ingin melihat
langit yang biru
Ingin terbang
Di atas laut yang luas
Ingin bebas
Ingin tenang
