The Shattered Heart & Mind

Gema yang begitu nyaring dan menyakitkan telinga..

Begitu juga dengan hati..

Memaku diri pada sudut ruang..

Begitu juga dengan waktu..

Nanar menatap serpihan pikiran yang berserakan..

Begitu juga dengan hati..

Memaksa diri beranjak dari ruang..

Begitu juga dengan waktu..

Demi memeluk serpihan - serpihan..

Pikiran dan hati dalam pangkuan.

Happy New Year 2013

Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!

This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!

~William Arthur Ward~

Touched by an angel.

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.”

~Maya Angelou~

Asa & Rasa

Rasa itu begitu nyata.
Sakit menusuk.
Menyeruak lantang.
Menghentak kesadaran.
Menghempas harapan.
Menghadirkan kenyataan.
Akan mimpi yang telah usai.
Terenggut paksa.

Rasa itu begitu nyata.
Perih menghujam.
Mengoyak hati.
Mengaburkan keyakinan.
Menggoyahkan pertahanan.
Menghadirkan pertanyaan.
Akan takdir yang teramat pahit.
Terengkuh duka.

Rasa itu begitu nyata.
Hampa terasa.
Menyandera logika.
Merampas asa.
Mencengkeram jiwa.
Menghadirkan kesesakan.
Akan dingin yang menyakitkan.
Terentang luka.

Suffocation

Oh fifty..
I'm so lost in this forest of shades.
I've found myself suffocated by the beauty of your darkness & wounded soul.
Because your pain is so beautiful, it makes your heart so fragile.
B.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l. & F.r.a.g.i.l.e.
As beautiful as the prelude.
As fragile as the rain drops.

Laters, baby.
