Are you falling in love.... (July 2007)

Are you falling in love, Sparrow?

Don't know why I'm still afraid.
If you weren't real...
I would wake you up...

Now I wish that I would follow through...
I know that your love is true indeed, as the sea...

But right now everything you want is wrong.
All your dreams are waking up...
I wish I could follow you to the shore of freedom...

Sebuah kehidupan baru
Dalam tubuh mungil bayi merah
Satu garis senyum lagi menyungging di bibirmu
Setelah cemas semalaman dan doa yang panjang

Romantika yang tak kan kurasakan bersamamu
Kusaksikan dengan segenap ketulusan
Cerita itu pernah ada
Tetap membahagiakan walaupun tak kumiliki

Langkah yang sudah beribu
Tak pernah sedikitpun kusesali
Melihatmu bahagia kini
Sudah menjadi bapak dua orang anak

Malam itu....
Jalan terasa begitu lengang
Tak seperti biasanya
Lajuku tertahan oleh keinginanku

Lambat tertelan pekatnya malam
Sesak terhimpit beban & perasaan
Buram terhalang genangan air mata

Sesaat....
Waktu memberiku ruang untuk bernafas
melepas topeng yang terpakai
membantuku bercermin dengan kejujuran
melihat diriku yang rapuh

Malam itu....
Jalan terasa begitu lengang
Tak seperti biasanya
Lajuku meninggalkan jejak bisu

Tak bersuara & tak berekspresi
Tetapi, melekat jelas di jiwaku

When we first fell in love
I thought that nothing could compare
To the magical romance
That you and I had come to share.
Feelings that once were hidden
Are now expressed to you.
Days that once were stormy
Are now the brightest blue.
There’s a special kind of happiness
That only love can bring,
And with you, I’ve found that happiness...
You are more than love to me...
You are everything..
You,...complete me..

The Guest House

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

(Jalaluddin Rumi, translation by Coleman Barks)

Seonggok Kala

Terserak diantara puing-puing dunia... tak berarti
Terserak diantara ramainya kata-kata... sepi
Terserak diantara amarah dan ambisi... sunyi

Dengan kesuciannya, kumencoba melihat arti...
Dengan keindahannya, kumencoba menyelami makna...

Terpaku basah...
Kala menyadari arti cinta
Kala menyadari makna peran di dunia

Terhempas dalam gulita...
Terseok dalam gelap
Hanya setitik cahaya yang ada
Hanya sebuah harapan kecil di ujung sana

Mengharapkan cinta-Mu

Ratna,
Soe Hok Gie dulu pernah bikin puisi,.. Ada kata2nya dia,..

HIDUP adalah soal keberanian,
Menghadapi tanda tanya
Tanpa bisa kita mengerti
Tanpa bisa kita menawar,.
Terimalah dan hadapilah.

So, cheer up honey!!!
Miss you at this moment, hoping you will fine soon.
