Gemeretak Cangkir di Malam April

maafkan jika aku mencoba membaca gerak
kedua lipatan bibirmu yang masih memerah

sebab seseorang di belakangku telah memberitahukan
bahwa semalam ketika masih april
kau pernah menemui seorang gadis yang kesepian
kau bilang bahwa ibunya yang selama ini menghilang
telah berhasil kau telan

aku tak cukup tahu seberapa lebar lehermu dapat mengerutkan
tulang-tulangnya untuk menjadi lebih lunak
setelah peristiwa itu

maafkan jika aku mencoba menaiki terjal batu
gincumu yang mengeras dan mengerak beku
sebab aku tak kunjung paham
bagaimana kau memilih warna untuk saat itu

maka lubang yang memuatkan bola mataku ini
mengatakan bahwa seorang lelaki berkuda
datang menyekapmu
pada gulungan lengannya, setidaknya
ada selaksa warna yang kau suka
diantaranya adalah luka
begitu mirip dengan empedu yang dikeluarkan hatiku

maafkan jika kali ini aku tak dapat mengetuk jendelamu
atau bahkan meninggalkan wewangi malam
yang kuperam di lingkar kancing bajutidurmu

dan lelaplah
masuklah ke dalam selimutmu
sebab aku yakin
masih ada kunang-kunang malamhari.
mereka akan menjagamu dari nafasku yang liar dan memburu

: semoga

The Awakening of New Energy

This one week, my mind buzzed. I know I had a lot to express. I always feel the urge to talk to people and barely know when to stop. I love creating world with words. Words are playground to me. Sometime I could slide, hop, roll forward, slither, or simply sit and watching people passing by. It's not a bout fun, but it's the awareness of creating more and more. I will try to invest 1 hour each day to write, to think, to get lost, to be found, to express, and write again. Over and over. I hope there will be more people connect and read me. Insya Allah 🤍

Choices

There will always be the first time for everyone. The first time to hear, the first time to feel, the first time to move, the first time to breathe and cry, the first time to drink, the first time to eat, the first time to respond, the first time to play, the first time to play together and solve the very own problem, the first time to enter school, the first time to teach, the first time to talk and engage with numerous audience, the first to be and do anything. . .till it becomes one day. . .the thing that was hard and challenging, could become a piece of cake. It takes courage, it takes sweat and tears, it takes sleepless nights, it takes restless days, it takes commitment, it takes everything. Maybe it takes your happiness away either. It may seem scary and it may seem crazy. It requires self and stress management. I always have choices amongst these options. I commence to reflect. Back then, I love to  compare people, wether it would be worth it or not at all. I compare A to B...

And I Said Yes, I Will

Mi amor, my love, Daddy K I said yes to our next journey, thick and thin I said yes to our progress, I'm all set I said yes to the mornings with tears and migraines  and to the nights with hugs and gentle kisses  I said yes to a lifetime prayer till Jannah This ring has given us power and awareness, love and affection, passion and patience, anxiety and peace, uncertainty and assurance, fears and courage, doubt and commitment, comfort over stormy days The knot we tie in this ring, cannot be wiped out Our loyalty worth more than anything we have And may Allah send us guidance, always Oct 2025
