Gadis

katamu
"ada gadis yang keluar dari telinga seseorang
tangannya gemetar, dan menggenggam api yang sebenarnya bersulut.
dan bunyi halimun di pagihari
tiba-tiba menimbulkan ketakutan
kekacauan masuk ke dalam hati
membuka segala celah tentang puisi"

dan tulisan:
a pen in her hand
is a pen in our hand
kebersamaan kami secara berurutan
telah menjelma kecekaman

"tak ada cinta dan lagu malam ini"
all day long we're alone
sebab segala perenungan yang mentautkan nama kami,
melahirkan anak-anak buta yang tak mengenal rahim ibunya
yang sepi.

:
kami meraung nyeri

sebab kami di sini tak pernah yakin
dengan keajaiban palsu

serupa bagaimana penyihir yang memabukkan kucingnya
mematikan orang dari kehidupan

kami pergi ke mimpi yang abadi 

--gadis itu menyusul kami
seikat kamboja yang hampir layu di tangannya,
ternyata masih wangi

towards us
all names had been waiting

lumut
tanaman
dan batu
begitulah kami
pada akhirnya menyatu

after arriving in our peace home
we died!

Writing As A Love Language

:Vin Elk, Ars Magna, & Lady Loved* Lately, I have enjoyed writing a lot. Writing worked on me the way Dumbledore did while he was in Penseive, so he could experience his memories through other perspectives. He uses it to siphon the excess thoughts from his mind, pour them into the basin, and examine them at leisure. Writing has helped me to untangle my mind, examine what to deliver, communicate the messages verbally and non-verbally, and reflect on how this writing will evoke certain emotions or moods. Writing becomes the mirror that provides insight into who I am, what I desire, what I experience, what I value, and what I am not into. Writing becomes the language that deliberates my inner peace. On another level, writing could answer the quest that dwells in my mind.  I am glad to share what is significant for me right now. Being loved by the right person and people is heaven, and so is being respected, prioritized, supported, desired, and understood. The right person and peop...

The Essence of Learning New Things Every Day

Everyone basically has opportunities to learn something new every day. They learn to get a new skill or to let go of what doesn't belong to them. The cycle comes and goes. Learning something new is not only a shortcut to improve one's life, but also to make one's meaningful, and their presence could make the simplest form of change.  I was once asked about the skills I have other than teaching. I confidently responded to them that I have enough skills in writing, photography, and cooking. While doing my responsibilities in the class, I value the three areas will be beneficial for me in professionalism. I have unlimited resources to access them if one day, I could only choose one area to support me for a living.  As an individual who has to make a move every day, I see learning as a potential way that brings us to become more selfless. We can learn new things every day as long as we have the courage and willingness to be a beginner. A beginner carries honesty since they have...

A One Year-Old Bonding

I was having a brief and light conversation with my boyfriend about how to create more memorable stories, create sparks in our relationship, and make better plans for our future. What I deeply appreciate about him is that he never ceases making plans for us as if he knows exactly where we're going, the potential issues we are going to face, how to cope with hard conversations, and many more. Reassurance, emotional support, and acts of service speak louder than just words. In lieu of the conversation, we had opposite points of view on how we would build healthy relationships and bondings in marriage while each of us is trying our best to achieve our goals. In addition, I am aware of his endeavors to listen more, to be more transparent in making decisions, to welcome discussions, to work collaboratively, and to articulate what we feel and what we think about assertively. We want to find the best route that could accommodate our needs in particular. There was a funny moment when I sud...
