Kutatap langit merah merona bagai gadis remaja dimabuk asmara Bunga bersemi di lautan kisah sebuah negeri di awan Meramu masa kecil seekor merpati kala ia merenungkan imaji hayatnya dan ia kembali pada titik-titik …. Bus kota meraung mencari mencurangi waktu dan kesempatan dan motor-motor menderu berpetualang menantang dewa kematian Masing-masing bertanya, akankah mereka kembali? Titik-titik […]

A night to remember
This night you whisper away fears lingering in my heart Wrapping my trembling soul with the sheer of joy As if ocean flowing in our eyes Aligned together, betraying the time who wants to hold us still And you read our story engraved in our heart Reciting beauty in my ears We hold our hands […]
First and Ever Verse
Drifting in the ocean The siren calling out my name Whispering God’s secret The tale of heaven and hell When they collided and here we are Born in the earth, the Eden of our banishment But I didn’t look I didn’t breathe nor see I am the restless wave Crawling, running away from the void […]

di sela jiwa yang merindu
Surya memancar di sisi tempat tidurku Menerangi ketermenunganku dari kelambu malam Mengenang kekasih, memandang dari jauh Fatamorgana lanskap angan melukis istana kasih Luka merekah bagai bunga di padang pasir Rumput-rumput membentang bagai mimpi Bungkam ragu yang terbit di sudut cakrawala malam Bintang-bintang pun tersipu malu Menyaksikan bulan biru di sela jiwa yang merindu Kalau saat […]
Ode to Women
Smart and strong woman is beautiful because she owns her way in this world Gentle and loving woman is beautiful With her tender heart, she grows the world Her calm and passionate beauty saves the world Her smiles are the oasis in the desert As her tears drop, the earth blossoms in the rain of […]
rindu
menatap rindu dari pesisir lamunan, beribu mil jauhnya bergolak tanya apa dan mengapa malam ini bulan setengah debur ombak menguak rahasia hati dalam sebuah kastil pasir, mengharap temu dan tawa di penghujung bulan purnama
dear cold morning
cold morning, can you see my breath under my bed sheet or are you busy lingering around the gray sky, asking, “what’s your dream today?” Jakarta, 19th January 2010
